Now everyone governs the young. But there was some thing different about the stern rule of the adminis Towering over unnoticing students. assistant principals Larry Clark and Charles Childers survey the tration in 1972. It softened. Around the dawn of spring, the hair code was repealed—and attitudes continued to change. The girls ' dress code was liberalized to include all pants of a neat nature. As a new air of freedom settled on HCSH, Principal L. M. Venable set into action a plan where seniors were put more or less on their own. They were re¬ quired only to attend classes; study halls were free. What was that about summer freedom? ■ - • -r - . v •: ' • -v‘ - ' ■ ‘.

It is true what they say about high school extra¬ curricular activities—a few people do all the work. Poor William Carr was found many times trying to lug that popcorn machine into the lobby by himself, and who was around when Sarah needed help? Not many. People were generally like that; but then, many students did peek out from their ennui and participate in some of the special events. Not the regular things like selling popcorn, everybody does that (though nobody does). They did things like bounce underprivileged kids on their knees at the SCA Christmas party for that purpose; they sang and danced in two student sponsored talent shows, and they helped the Bloodmobile meet its quota when it called on the high school to donate. The trend had moved from group activities in previous years to indi¬ vidual participation in 1972. Students began to branch out from established cliques and find involve¬ ment on their own, leaving the William Carrs and Sarah Banes to tend the fire by themselves. blJT SOME pARTidpATE iN ACTIVITIES Nurses prepare to draw blood from Howard White as his and other students ' contributions help the Bloodmobile surpass its quota. Yuletime spirits flourish during the SCA Christmas party for underprivileged children. Jim Chappell plays a role as Santa. Entertaining the student body, the ' Nobodies ' compete for prizes in one of two talent shows. Theme 5 Combing hair can be quite a task during a busy lunch period or a change of classes. Sharing the same facilities, Lavonia Simon and West Fuller go about their separate duties. This one room is used by both the SCA and the Journalism Department. The learning continues. Amidst the cries of an anguished community, pro and con on the matter, the learning continues. While HCSH heaves and sighs under the weight of too many students in its too few facilities, the learning continues. Classes taught in the stadium, on the stage, in makeshift classrooms—the learning continues. Nowhere to sit in the cafeteria, nowhere to walk in the halls, nowhere to teach irj the classroom— learning continues. In a school that was made for 1400 which enrolls 2000, the learning continues. Rubbing shoulders with your neighbor at lunch, stepping on someone ' s foot in the hall, kneeing someone in the back in the classroom— the learning continues. And it has been like that for years. And it gets worse every year. They say there will be 2200 students in here in 73. Where will they put them? Will there be enough education to go around? How will they get it to all those cramped students? Will they inject it with a hypodermic needle? One cannot actually judge its quality, or its quantity, but the learning, nevertheless, continues. 6 Theme In indescribable confusion, students cram into the narrow stairway enroute to classes. Learning continues in cramped classrooms as Mrs. Rae Lantor lectures to her third period Negro history class. Theme 7 The whole and the part—a story of society and of a student body. There is everyone—the cafeteria at lunch, a ballgame crowd, the lobby before school. And there is the one—a boy and girl together, a small clique in the corner, cheering groups at ball- games. It is all part of discovering oneself, others and, at times, race. One drifts away from the crowd and finds himself; or he closes himself in around a friend and discovers him; or he blankets himself with members of his own race and finds common grounds, culture and identity. Indications of more emphasis being placed on such social grouping appeared with the formation of the Birthday Club, S.B.D., eight more Negro history classes and many others. There was the whole of HCSH, but there were also its parts. Whether this new shift is causing a lack of school spirit still remains to be seen. Many felt it already has. StucIents arrive as one qROup In quiet contemplation, Tricia Moore withdraws into her own private world. Cheering in their own distinct styles, separate groups of students view a basketball game. 8 Theme Swarming across the parking lot from buses which have arrived from all parts of the county, pupils gather for a day of class. Alone and solemn, Steve Frazier and Lisa Crews enjoy what privacy they can on a crowded campus.

They arrive in all shapes and many sizes and sometimes when least ex¬ pected. The prom, the GW games, graduation: they ' re the big ones. But what about when she says your hair is as long as Samson ' s or that first day he rushes down the hall to room 164 so that he can walk you to the next class. Small, maybe, but events nevertheless. Sports had their own point: counterpoint. The football and basketball teams didn ' t make it to the state playoffs, but the disappointment was softened when the cross country and track squads racked up their wins. It ' s the event that is remembered long afterthe routine has faded. And everything is an event for somebody. As guest speaker at the National Negro His¬ tory Week assembly, Dr. Earl McClenney talks to the student body. Straight lines of flashy uniforms and shiny brass file off the football field as the band completes its halftime performance. Stretching high for a rebound, Jerry Brooks (14) and Boxley Llewellyn (22) battle with two George Washington players in the dis¬ trict contest at Lynchburg College. When the 9:00 a.m. tardy bell rang for the first time of the new school year, sum¬ mer was automatically over in Halifax County. This bell signaled the dispensing with hot, lazy afternoons at the pool, the fishing pole and the cool, crisp mornings in the tobacco fields. This shrill bell urged the practice of puzzling over homework during cold evenings. Many students received the beginning of school with mis¬ givings. Why couldn ' t I have brushed up on algebra these past few months? or Oh, for those sweet summer days that seemed endless for so long! Trudging from class to learning experiences awaited each as they cautiously ed and students discovered for the first time that others shared the same school with them. the immediate future of re- turning students was the chance to prove themselves in music, sports, art or any other extracurricular activ¬ ities. Hard work was the key; success was their benefit. From the courageous sopho¬ more entering a new school for the first time, to the re¬ turning senior wisely looking ahead for college or job op¬ portunities, each student ex¬ perienced the first day of school with his own individ¬ ual ideas. The Back-to-School slogans pasted on dime store windows became a reality for some 2000 young men and wo¬ men who, despite their dif¬ ferences of opinions, settled down for another 180 days. CWSBES END SU M MER SCA officers and their adviser Secretary Bunny Talbott, Vice- President Sara Bane, Reporter Sam Wilson, Mrs. Charlotte Farmer, President Lavonia Simon, and Sergeant-At-Arms Katrina Edmonds, are enjoying the new office. Not shown is Treasurer William Carr. Serving as an active catalyst by promoting interested student participation in myriad projects, the Student Cooperative Association (SCA) set the tone for all school activities. A determined group, they started right in continuing old activities and beginning many new ones as curious eyes watched to see what might happen as the first black president began her year. But plans soon resumed their proper porportions and SCA adviser • Mrs. Charlotte Farmer remarked, These projects ended in an overall success HZ ' Jl which was attributed to the hard work of the off icers and student involvement. As a project of the SCA, little blue boxes made their first appearance throughout hallways, allowing students to express suggestions and grievances. Also a new venture, the concession stand at all JV football games could be found operated by William Carr, SCA treasurer, and his helpers. A Christmas candle drive, a UNICEF project and a voter registration drive for eighteen year olds were promoted by the SCA. From the purchase of an $1100 popcorn machine at the end of football season to the addition of new picnic tables in the spring, the SCA paved their way into broader paths. Officers were exempt from performing all this work themselves alone as students accepted responsibility and attained an interested attitude in all of these projects. If someone desired to do something, there was always a committee to put him on.

DREAM ESCAPES MIGHTY COMETS Fate thwarts Comet hopes It was a good year and it was a bad year. It ' s fourth and goal for the Comets on the one yard line! To have done so much and not to have reached the ultimate goal. Ready! Hopes, aspirations, and dreams of many years were to either be, or never to have been at all. Slant tight! Everything said go. Set! A corps of able veterans. Bingo! Bingo! A big, husky line. Hut one! Large, speedy backs. Hut two! Coaches who knew how to win. Hut three! An excellent building year behind them. It ' s a power play up the middle! Everything said go. There ' s a big pileup on the goal line! The word was out—they wanted it all. The state. It ' s going to be a close call! But fate heard the word. No! They didn ' t make it! The ball goes over! blocker Billy Burton as both dare the defense in the early going of the Fleming game BLUES ARE SUPER IN ALL BUT WINS Comet stats overpower district “If anyone had told me in August we ' d lose three games, I ' d have told him he was out of his mind. Thus spake Donald Testerman, Sunkist First Team All-American fullback and Most Valuable Back in the Western District and the Northwest Region. The comment came in the locker room following an impressive 21-0 Comet victory over Armstrong High School of Richmond. That game brought to an end a season that-kad been very good to many individuals such as Testerman, but had been a more than anticlimactic denouement to a dream held by all Comet supporters; that dream being a state championship, and that denouement being a 7-3 season. Nevertheless, the season had exploded into action with a triumphant 27-0 victory over Person County High. Then the dream ended. Two quick losses to E. C. Glass and George Washington sank all hopes, then two weeks later a close loss to defending state champion James Wood patted earth on a buried dream. Though the Comets finished third in the district, statistics told a different story. The Blues led the district in 15 statistical categories, ahead of GW who took 11. They possessed the most potent overall offense and rushing offense, which tallied 227 points while the defense held the opposition to 73. Though the passing game failed to set any district records, it did set a school record of 236 yards in one game, beating the previous record of 180. The biggest offensive story of the year, however, was Testerman, who rushed for 1466 total yards — a new record by 300 yards — and scored 114 points while averaging 6.1 yards a carry. Twice during the season Testerman rushed for 263 yards in a single game, a record by 30 yards. FHe also caught 12 passes for 230 yards, completed 6 passes, averaged 34 yards per punt, and handled punting and kickoff return chores. Post season All-Western District honors went to Testerman, Jim Chappell, Danny Ray, West Fuller, Stanley Wilkins, Jack Crews, James Delaware and Kenny Benassi while Testerman, Ray and Crews made the All-Northwest Region Team. Testerman and Crews, who snared 53 tackles from his defensive tackle spot, were selected on the All-Virginia State first team. At the All-Sports Banquet in April Head Coach Coleman Starnes, who had been aided by Assistant Coaches Ronnie Ramsey, Charles Craddock and Bill Vanney, announced that Testerman had been voted by his teammates Most Valuable Back and Most Outstanding Senior while Jack Crews was voted Most Valuable Lineman. Up and over two Amherst defenders, fullback Donald Testerman sails to another score in a 40-6 triumph. Skirting around end and behind a block by Danny Ray, Moses Foster readies for a collision with a William Fleming defender. The Comets squeaked out on top 14-12. Orders, orders is what football is all about. Flead Coach Coleman Starnes instructs two gridders during an afternoon practice in the stadium. In his five years as head coach, Mr. Starnes has brought a cellar team to a reputation as a perennial title contender. 18 Varsity Football Take it, quick! says quarterback Neal Akers to Donald Testerman as a James Wood linebacker licks his chops before devouring the helpless quarterback.

Glass defender, Nookie Green turns downfield in a game that saw little turning downfield for the Baby Blues, who lost 20-6. Too late, thinks Anthony Compton as he fails to block a punt and prepares to reverse field to run interference in the Glass game. Four on one against a Roxboro defender, the Comets threaten to score as quarterback Lawrence Carter hands off to halfback Nookie Green while Chip Anderson and Eddie Hughes lead the way. Neck and neck with an E.C. Glass linebacker, halfback Eddie Hughes may find rough going short of the goal line on this sprint. 20 JV Football Finishing up the season with an even 4-4 record, the JV Comets closed out a campaign that was comparatively a good season. Two years had passed since the JV ' s had achieved or bettered a .500 record and there were even fewer times before that. Flead Coach Bristol Martin ' s and Assistant Coach Wayne Lloyd ' s Baby Blues rocketed off to a brilliant start, shutting out both Person County and Martinsville; but then a poor showing at home cost the Comets a close one to the Amherst Lancers, who had been stomped by a poorer Comet JV team the previous year. Three more weeks passed before another win was posted. A stinging defeat to E.C. Glass and two even more painful losses to George Washington and the Comets stood at 2-4 on the year. But then a burst of power and a forfeit from Chatham brought the final record to 4-4. It is significant to note, however, that the Comets outscored their opponents all told by 107 to 94, though almost half of that came in the Brookville game. Nevertheless, their offense, averaging 13 points per game, was never shut out while the defense gave up 11.8 points per game. Coach Martin felt that his team possessed some very good material in saying, I think we had some boys who will definitely help out the varsity next year.” Judging by the fact that practically the entire varsity team was composed of seniors, they had better.

SWAIM CROWNED QUEEN AT GAME Leg contest , dance add to festivities Kick-off! a whirlwind of color, excited fans, precision lines of paper models alternated by high stepping marchers and the feeling of victory in the air! These components put Homecoming 71 together. On the cold, starry night of October 15, the Comets triumphed over Martinsville capturing their fourth Homecoming win in a row. Earlier the parade, stringing through downtown South Boston, put the crowd of spirited students and faculty in a festive mood. The football team, earlier during Homecoming week, cast off their football pads and vied for the school ' s first title of Prettiest Legs. Winners were West Fuller, Moses Foster and James Delaware. Half-time of the high scoring game marked the presentation of Queen Ann Monroe Swaim and her court, and an array of talent by the band, Comettes and majorettes. The Industrial Arts Club capped all honors in the presentation of floats. Music, dancing and fun followed the Comets ' 39-12 victory over the Bulldogs as crowds rushed to the cafeteria for the Homecoming Dance. Music was provided by the Marlboros. The Comets had won another victory for their gridiron records and fans had celebrated another successful Homecoming. It began and ended with that whirlwind of color. 22 Homecoming Not noticing the crowded atmosphere at the Homecoming Dance, Peggy Roark and Harold Green dance to the music of the Marlboros. Excitement filled the air as drum majorette Patsye Snow led the marching band through South Boston in the Homecoming Parade. The Homecoming court consists of Terri Hodges, junior; Shirley Sugg, junior; Christine Terry, sophomore; Vicki Roller, sophomore; Anne Hodges, senior; Aretha Marable, senior and Queen Ann Monroe Swaim, senior. Homecoming Queen Ann Monroe Swaim is crowned by Principal L. M. Venable as her escort Fontaine Canada waits for the traditional kiss during half-time activities.

The Comets also made their best showing ever in the state meet in 1971, finishing in ninth place — an improvement over eleventh place last year and nineteenth before that. Curtis Kirby, the team ' s most valuable player as voted by his teammates, finished thirteenth in the state meet.

FEVER RUNS HIGH ELECTION WEEK Assemblies take on new look to help clubs Although school elections followed familiar patterns, assemblies took on a new look. Ann Monroe Swaim, assemblies chairman, initiated new opportunities for clubs and organizations to make money for their varied interests. Not only did these assemblies help the club treasuries but they also entertained the students. The Art Department ' s talent show, the Drama Club ' s one-act comedy and, especially, the Lettermen Club ' s fac¬ ulty-varsity basketball game drew laughter and applause from the student body. It actually became an enjoyment to go to an assembly, even if it did sometimes costs 50 cents. To help pay for assemblies which required traveling expenses for visiting groups, students paid a $1 activity fee. This charge helped eliminate organization and collection problems. Election week again absorbed students in election fever. The school rule limiting placement of cam¬ paign posters did not dampen anyone ' s spirit as election day and the exciting balloting took over. 26 Assemblies, Elections Assemblies, Elections 27 Speed is a great benefactor in many of the Comet contests, as Boxley Llewellyn beats the Liberty Minutemen down court. A loose ball is a sign of a mishap but Hunt Ozmer scrambles to re¬ cover the ball against Durham. Difficult shots being made is not uncommon and adds excitement to the game against Northern as Jerry Brooks makes another bucket. A layup is two easy points for Broderick Hill in the Comet victory at GW in Danville. Driving down the court, Howard White looks for a free Comet to receive his pass in the game against the Amherst Lancers. 28 Varsity Basketball I PLAYUrr SCUTTLES COMETS Coach calls season best in seven ) Although the varsity Blues racked up a 14-4 season, the second best in the school ' s 19-year history, it was transformed into a heartbreaker when they lost in the final game of the district playoffs to arch-rival George Washington, a team they IW1MC had previously beaten twice. But that final disappointing loss did not cloud Coach Morningstar ' s opinion that This is the best basketball season we have had in my seven years as coach. We had good basketball players with experience and a great deal of pride. There were no real weaknesses; we just had a few bad games. In several games the Comets had to play catchup ball. With Amherst, the Big Blue turned a third quarter loss, 32-31, into a fourth quarter victory, defeating them 44-42. With the score 33-25 in the third quarter, Halifax over GW, the Cardinal five tried to make a comeback scoring a big 16 points in the last frame; but they just weren ' t good enough as they were put down 44-41. Beating two teams, Hillside and GW, that were in the state playoffs and two, Armstrong and Highland Springs, in the regional playoffs gave further proof that the Comets had basketball know how. While Howard White was burning up the nets for a great 18.9 season ' s average, the brother combination of Jack and Calvin Crews were fighting off the opposition under the boards. % Varsity Basketball 29 Varsity Basketball 1972 HCSHS 76 Armstrong 67 HCSHS 73 N.

A locker room pep talk by Coach Bill Morningstar between halves of the Armstrong game fires up the Big Blues for a smashing finish. BIG BLUES TIE SCHOOL RECORD Howard White makes All-state Outstanding individual performances from the basketball players made this a year fans will be remembering for years to come. Makin g the All-state team was Howard White, who scored 387 points for the season. At the traditional All-sports Banquet, Jack Crews, who had a 13.8 game average, won two awards: the Most Valuable Player and leading rebounder. In the last game with Liberty, the Blue Comets tied the school record for most points scored in one game at 101. A great amount of regret was registered when Head Coach Billy Morningstar announced in the spring that he would resign at the end of the school year. He had been at HCSH for seven years but decided to leave when offered a job of assistant coach at Elon College, his Alma Mater. My stay here has been great and I feel that this is one of the top high schools in the country, he said. A stylish shot by Howard White in the GW Eagle game puts the Comets on the scoreboard again. Howard was the year ' s highest scorer. Varsity Basketball 31 32 JV Basketball FIVE OVERTIMES SET NEW RECORD Winning JV’s amaze spectators With the best record in the school ' s history, Coach Wayne Lloyd ' s junior varsity basketball team ended its thrilling season, 17-1. The fans certainly got their money ' s worth this year from the junior varsity games alone. The stands, for the first time, were packed for both junior varsity and varsity games. The Baby Blue experienced a fingernail biting season with several very close games. The highlight of the season was a game with GW, which resulted in five overtimes; however, the Baby Blue came out on top. Lawrence Carter was the ace shooter for the team with a record breaking 414 points for the season. Lawrence ' s biggest boost came when he pumped in 41 points in the game against Martinsville, setting a new JV school record. Lawrence carried the team ' s scoring average with 23.5 points per game, while five other men averaged in double figures. O. C. Hailey led the Baby Blue in assists. Coach Wayne Lloyd summed up the season, They were super; everyone played well together and complemented each other with their teamwork. Everyone looked to win.

Even spirited basketball games need rigid attention from fans as Gwen Smith concentrates on court action. BIG BLUE DRAWS SELLOUT CROWDS Confetti whirls , pep band boost spirit It was there. You could see it, feel it, hear it. It was ecstatic joy at whipping Martinsville and it was sympathetic smiling for a game well-played with GW. It was tons of confetti whirling in the air and it was the Pep Band playing the Horse” and Soulful Strut. The students roared with snappy yells which caught like wildfire among the seemingly dormant viewers, who always ended up chanting with the rest. The gym and stadium seemed to pulse with the ever constant unison of cheerleaders and fans as they supported their team and showed the visitors that they were behind the Comets 100 per cent. School spirit at times during the football season seemed to dwindle away into a few bursts of not so enthusiastic yells as the football squad lagged behind E.C. Glass and james Wood, but by the time basketball season opened on December 4, the Comets were playing before full houses and sellout games with such teams as GW and Highland Springs. Even the adults were infected by the excitement, tension and unity. That was spirit!

SQUAD INITIATES THREE PROJECTS Cheerleaders operate school store Let ' s get it going was a familiar cry as the varsity cheerleaders encouraged hoards of screaming Comet fans. New cheers joined the squad ' s list of yells as well as two new dance routines which the girls performed when the Pep Band played. Before games, the girls covered a huge hoop, made by the Industrial Arts Department, in multi-colored paper through which the football and basketball teams ran as Mr. Tom Berry announced the starting lineups. Because last year ' s cheerleaders accumulated a very large debt due to over-buying pep ribbons which they sold before all games, the newly elected girls set about early in the summer to earn money. They operated a food stand at summer school; and during the school year, they ran a student store before school and during lunch, selli ng various school supplies. With a donation of $150 from the Booster Club, the debt was finally cleared. On days of a game, the squad set special tables with blue and white checked tablecloths in the cafeteria. Breaking in the lunch lines, the girls picked up food trays and served the players their lunch along with tea or lemonade and homemade cake. The cheerleaders entered a float in the Homecoming parade and won an honorable mention and also participated in the Spring Fair by operating a jail. 36 Varsity Cheerleaders Amazingly high leaps add a final touch to a spirit cheer for Hannah Patterson and Trisha Cole during the pre-game excitement.

Varsity Cheerleaders 37 FANS JOIN SOUAD The lobby floor was cluttered with long strips of colored paper. Powdered paint was mixed in fruit cans IN YELLS, CHEERS from the cafeteria. Paint brushes were scattered around the lobby. The JV cheerleaders were ready to paint banners for the week ' s games. Artistic ability may have been lacking but enthusiasm for their teams created eye-catching slogans like ' Comets are Superstars. ' Hanging the banners however, sometimes proved to be futile for the girls; for by the following morning, due to the excessive heat in the cafeteria, the banners had fallen from the walls. Other than banner painting the JV ' s held biweekly practices and helped the varsity cheerleaders with the food stand at summer school. Also they worked on the Homecoming float for the annual parade. Working along with the cheerleaders, the Pep Club displayed wide versatility. They sponsored buses for fans and Pep Club members to the GW games and to the basketball tournaments in Lynchburg and constructed a float for the Homecoming parade. Members topped off their list of activities by marking off a Pep Club section at games and entering a nickel pitching booth in the Spring Fair. Making $11 the club placed the money in their treasury for the coming school year.

After the repeal of the hair code which prohibited over-the-ear hair, Dennis Stewart, Neal Akers and Billy Dyer can now enjoy a long-awaited air of freedom. Who ever said hair isn ' t the first thing you notice about someone? Lisa Crews and Steve Frazier would never argue that fact, even if they had the time. 42 Hair By West Fuller Hair leads breakthrough in dress as casual styles find a home at HCSH OLD STYLES MDE Young people find an outlet through dress as no other age group does. They rely on it to express their youth, their independence, and their status as those who have not yet been captured by society and thrown onto the assemblyline of age. For these reasons, the styles of the youth will naturally be far removed from what is normally acceptable in older circles. But then, also naturally, the older circles will attempt to restrain the youth in their fashions. And then, also naturally again, the older circles of Hal if ax County will be among the first (and the last) to restrain their youth. It is, after all, a small, southern rural community, where liberalism is not the most popular of social views. In 1972, the hair issue was not new at HCSH. Many years had passed in which students had been suspended from school for not meeting the requirements of the hair code as set by the Board of Control. Small protests arose and blew away as if never having been there. There was not really much to be done. Even the students were not liberal enough to face probable class failures due to time in court, so hair remained short. But this particular year the attitudes among students began to change. In the face of court rulings across the nation upholding hair, students became confident that something could be done. One case got as far as obtaining legal backing, but was dropped. A small group of student delegates went before the Board in the Spring, but little came of it. Another case got as far as being scheduled in court, but before its appearance, the hair code was abruptly dropped. A district court ruling in North Carolina had carried enough weight to force the withdrawal of the code. Another step was taken in youth ' s favor a few weeks later when the girls ' dress code was reinterpreted to include jeans and other pants of a neat nature. Styles soon began to mold into what they had tried to be for years. Hair was longer, dress was considerably more casual. The normal tendency towards uniqueness was now unrestrained. So not only did styles change in 1972, but also the attitudes of the community surrounding HCSH. The year had seemed to start out with an almost unfair resurgence of strictness where fashions were concerned, but it ended with a complete turnabout. It was only natural though— the darkest hour is always just before the dawn. Hair 43 mm m ms0 ' WmM . : v V. ■ % ■ •.: y • What is any fair without cotton candy?

CLUBS COLLECT LARGEST PROFIT Booths promise fun at fair Strains of “Maggie May, performed by a live band filled the April evening air. The students, arriving slowly at first but rapidly increasing in number, found themselves almost overwhelmed as they enter the lob¬ by. The Inter-club Council sponsored Spring Fair, after weeks of planning and one previous postponement, was a reality. Spilling from the lobby into the gym, cafeteria and rooms in the surrounding area was a colorful array of booths and activities. Each club attempted to captivate the largest crowds by using creativity, dec¬ oration, salesmanship and advertisement. Each activity, competing for attention and the spectator ' s quarter, promised more fun than the last. A student had many choices: he could consume fluffs of orange cotton candy, hurl eggs at his English teach¬ er and schoolmates, buy paper flowers, have his fortune told by a professional, snicker with the newly-innovat¬ ed Mr. HCSH contest, shoot water guns, participate in raffles, travel cake walks, purchase Haliscope pictures, toss rings for free Cokes, procure hard-to-get paperback novels, have a “favorite teacher or class¬ mate locked up in a stockade or simply enjoy watching everyone else do these things. In fact, Spring Fair 72 boasted the largest number of attendants ever, jamming 24 clubs with their busi¬ ness. As a result of everyone ' s effort, $1170.70 was earned, the largest sum ever to be collected at a Spring Fair. These statistics are significant not only for their size, but also because, as one student so aptly observed, “This year ' s Spring Fair could hopeful¬ ly be a sign of a new trend in student involvement which in recent years has left something to be desired. Candy apples and other goodies are the feature of the Youth for Christ booth. John Courtney makes a purchase from Karen Young and Debbie Owen.

Starting out with a strong force of nineteen players, the team ' s number gradually diminished to twelve due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness and injuries. This lack of manpower, coupled with an apparent lack of spirit at times, led to the team ' s disappointing record of six wins and six losses. Led by their senior captains, Mark Stephens and Carl Turner, the team showed early signs of going all the way. One player commented, We had the team and the players, but we didn ' t get it all together. We had a few bad breaks; ones that could have easily gone the other way, but didn ' t. The two top pitchers, Carl Turner and Donald Testerman were the ones who were awarded the baseball honors. Donald received the highest batting average trophy after he had acquired a .465 batting average. Carl was awarded the MVP title. A salute to the ball is given by Donald Testerman after he fails to reach the throw to first base during a home game against Danville. Baseball, like any other sport, requires many hours of long strenuous practice. Every piece of the team ' s equipment serves a definite purpose during practice. 46 Baseball Baseball team: (bottom row) Joe Stephens, Terry Dickey, O. C. Hailey, E. C.

Coach Bristol Martin ' s indoor track team was forced to hold all its meets on the Lynchburg College track due to the lack of indoor ac ' l ' t es here. In its very first year of existence, the club shocked everyone by losing only one meet while winning five—one of those wins being at the hands of perennial champion E. C. Glass. In winning its first championship ever, the outdoor track team, also under Coach Martin, pulled down as many as five records. The mile relay team, composed of Michael Dixon, Earl Barksdale, Ronald Poindexter and Henry Lipscomb, shaved fifteen seconds off the old record in setting a time of 3 minutes 19.6 seconds. Ronald Poindexter ran a record time in the 880 of 1 minute 58.6 seconds while Curtis Kirby ran a record 10 minutes 7.7 seconds in the two mile event.

The golf team, with the most successful record of the minor spring sports, finished with a 3-2 season and sent top medalist Bob Thomasson to represent the team in the regional playoffs where he failed to place. Although the linksmen did not play a full schedule, their season was by no means disappointing. The tennis teams finished with losing records. During the course of their season, the boys ' tennis team came close to jumping the victory net against Liberty and Roxboro, but ended up tripping each time. The tennis ball landed even worse for the girls as they compiled an upsetting 0-6 record. But even with the discouraging season of the tennis teams, those ageless words of optimism were heard drifting up from their locker rooms after the final match: Yeah, but just wait ' ll next year... 50 Tennis and Golf A careful nudge brings the birdie that Gary P.

What was this trange malady that deranged nany students at HCSH in 72? t came in the form of Club Days, an active Inter Club louncil, and a Spring Fair. Some called it involvement, others school spirit. The year, characterized by udden bursts of activity on he part of the majority of tudents, saw the active few .till doing most of the work. : or years HCSH was the school hat involved the same group )f students, those who were roncerned about their school, n all phases of school life, t was not unusual for one to the strange surroundings they found themselves in. Clubs saw co-presidents. Apathy went on a rampage. In 1972, Club Days were welcomed as a time to catch up on homework. The first part of the year, clubs spent the hour on club day to plan for the Spring Fair. The last several Club Days, stu¬ dents dreamed of ways to spend the money made, and what they could do for the next Spring Fair. Clubs are organized in schools to give students a channel where they can put their energies for construc¬ tive good, and rewards for their school. Many clubs lived up to this purpose. The Latin Club sent delegates to their state convention, and had a state officer elected. The VICA club certainly could not be called apathetic. Honors rolled in every time they participated in a dis- of the conflicts between ur¬ ban and rural, a wide sepa¬ ration has developed in many schools. HCSH, being a school that includes both types of people, is caught in the conflict of having activities that appeal to both groups. The annual Spring Fair was the closest HCSH came to breaking through apathy. Many found a way to get into the plans for the big night. And when the night came, everyone came to see what everyone else was doing. Clubs won ' t be dying in the near future at HCSH.

Then what would be left but guidance counselors and administration and teachers, complacent with the idea that school is only there to give an education? But who wants to please teachers and admin¬ istration anyway? Club Day heralded in many new clubs, but apathy and homework are killing them off Library Sp ace limit hinders browsers The library—a home for slow moving bookworms who accomplish nothing as they read along. This antiquated idea of the purpose of a library has changed. Totaling 23,000 books, according to Miss Frances Woltz, head librarian, the library possesses an average of 10 books per student which is in excess of the Southern Association ' s requirement of eight books per student. A big plus was the appropriation of $14,273 for the purchase of encyclopedias, magazine subscriptions, rebinding processes and audio-visual materials. Lack of space and the failure of the library to meet the Southern Association goal of seating 10 per cent of the student body limited the number of persons in the library at one period. Students returning overdue books on Fine Free Day, May 17, paid no fine. The day was designated as a success by the librarians after they dug themselves out from under the avalanche of over 1,000 books that students returned. The library offers to students Preston Chalmers and Freddie Reed an accomodating place in which to complete research papers and to discover new concepts. i|3 f: 4 si ft ■ 64 Library Fine Free Day prompts hundreds of students to return overdue books, omitting the usual five-cent charge.

As a new event, a human bookworm (five cloth- enshrouded members) was entered by the Library Club in the Homecoming parade. Stimulating filmstrips, rather than guest speakers, constituted several Club Day meetings in an effort to gain progressive methods for library improvement. To emphasize the importance of the county library, club members visited the Halifax library where librarians lectured on the major services of the public library. Filming the Homecoming parade, student life and athletic events with an 8 millimeter camera-projector posed th e greatest challenge for the Audio-Visual Club members. The films were shown during a club session. Club members assisted teachers with visual aides, 16 millimeter films and experimented with mounting and laminating processes. Approximately 20 films were shown weekly, with the majority in social studies, reported Mr. Bohanon, director. In producing transparencies Junior Raymond Lawson experiements with a dry mounting process.

With them came ideas to increase interest, participation and desire to excel. From the teaching of twentieth century poetry in twelfth grade classes to the presentation of original ' television ' skits in speech classes, students expressed themselves in a number of different ways. Emphasis was naturally placed upon book reports, but teachers led their students into using more and more creativity. Along with making mobiles and col¬ lages, pupils even composed songs illustrating their book. To help slower learners, three teacher helpers were em¬ ployed in the basic tenth grade classes. A reading im¬ provement class, in which both oral and silent reading were stressed was also new.

For the first time, the yearly literary magazine included book reviews in its selections of poetry and prose. The magazine had a new cover, a photograph taken by Joe B. Chandler, and a completely new size. With a more than usual abundance of entries, the staff found it extra difficult and timeconsuming in choos¬ ing the 60 needed items. To raise money for publica¬ tion costs, “Galaxy” members opened a boutique at the Spring Fair for the second year. In addition, they sold for half price, copies of the 1971 “Galaxy , which received second place honors at the Virginia High School League Publications Convention at the University of Virginia. From the three publica¬ tions, the “Galaxy , the “Haliscope and the “Star several outstanding staff members were named members of Quill and Scroll. These stu¬ dents served on one or more publications for at least one semester and were in the upper third of t heir class. A big grin spreads over the face of Dorothy Lewis, Galaxy editor-in- chief, when she hears that the maga¬ zine has finally arrived at school.

Thirty-seven yearbook staff members worked their heads off trying to find out! In so doing, they came to the realization that there were overall trends seeming to affect the entire year. Prob¬ lems included a predominant rural, conservative society and its generation gap with the young, an extremely over¬ crowded school and a somewhat prevailing apathy among stu¬ dents. Pockets of liberalism and concern, however, were discovered by the staff when investigating student parti¬ cipation in the blood mobile, the addition of senior priv¬ ileges and the relaxing of the dress code. In helping to show this point: counterpoint of the Halifax experience, the staff used major changes throughout the Haliscope . Three main sections, each with a differ¬ ent design style, replaced the book ' s usual six ones. This format made the Hali¬ scope more diversified and interesting to its reader- ship, nurtured on television, mod design and free-wheeling graphics. Subscription sales reached a total of 925, a 125 increase over last year ' s prize winning book. Gaining much national rec¬ ognition, the 1971 Haliscope was considered the most suc¬ cessful of the past 18 publications. With top awards from all major critical services, it left this year ' s staff with the problem: How do we top this? 72 Haliscope Ready to begin teaching his nearly all-girl staff about yearbook tech¬ niques, Haliscope editor-in-chief Jim Chappell collects his thoughts. Preliminary layouts are the first step of yearbook procedure. Jean Hagood strives for perfection in her assigned pages. Helpful advice is given to Hannah Patterson by adviser Mr. Richard J.

Events crammed with inter¬ est, debatable issues: some¬ thing was continuously popping up outside of school, as well as in. And the Star” covered it. In-depth stories featured in the biweekly newspaper concerning the draft, job seeking and sex education led to both a greater acceptance by the student body and a 15 per cent sales increase. Star reporters devoted a special issue to the pressing need of a new school, which they felt was a definite in¬ fluence in the Board of Super¬ visors ' passing a resolution calling for new construction. The ' Star ' has a very pro¬ fessional appearance, com¬ mented the Virginia High School League judge commend¬ ing its many news-magazine features and innovations. Out of a possible 1000 points, the paper was give 962. For the eighth straight year, the Star returned from New York ' s Columbia Scholastic Press Association Competition with a Medalist award, the highest award given. It was also honored with a trophy from the VHSL Publications Convention in November. Business manager Patsye Snow per¬ suades Mr. A. R.

Star 75 Social Studies Department Games play new role in classroom Playing games may sound too much like fun for history class, but it was a method of teaching used by the Social Studies Department. These games were simulation games entitled with appropriate names such as Blacks and Whites and Crisis. With the games students acted out many of the problems facing their world. Blacks and Whites was much like Monopoly except for one important difference— black players started out with only $10,000 while whites started with $1,000,000. Liz Mitchell, a black player, believed the game to be quite realistic. Although disad¬ vantaged, she progressed and finally won. Crisis involved working out an international conflict over valuable mines in a foreign country. One of the goals of the game was to achieve world peace. Although the smallest club in the school, the Current Events Club was one of the most active. Its two members and their adviser Miss Carol Greenwood visited such places as the University of Virginia, Natural Bridge and Monticello. At each of its meetings, the members of the International Cultures Club heard speakers who had either visited or lived in a foreign country. They then had refreshments typical of that country. Members of the Psychology and Sociology Club discussed in their monthly meetings current problems such as drug abuse and mental illness. Glimpses into the future await Bee Edmonds as she consults Mrs. Gladys Howard, the International Cultures Club fortune teller at the SCA Fair. 76 Social Studies Department Destined for Natural Bridge, Current Event Club members Steve Anderson and Charles Bray prepare to leave with their adviser Miss Carol Greenwood for a day of sightseeing. Being black is a Halifax experience for 50 per cent of the student body. Mrs. Rae Lantor in her black history class helps students understand their heritage.

Members of the French, Spanish and Latin Clubs brought foods represen¬ tative of the country whose language they studied. After everyone had managed to taste a little of all of the st range foods at the banquet, they moved into the gym where the members of the clubs presented a program of skits and music. Of course, the banquet was only a part of the happenings of Foreign Language Week. The department also used the display case to carry across the theme, “Foreign Language Can Lead to World Harmony. Miss Renee Hensel ' s class looked like a normal Latin class until you gazed around the room and spotted a giant Snoopy wearing a purple toga standing over the class like a guardian angel. Members of the Latin Club made Snoopy and give him a home in the Latin class. An exchange teacher from Luxembourg, Miss Hensel carried on her class in an informal manner because her classes ranged in size from fifteen to only seven. In fact, they were able to move outside when warm weather arrived. Although informal, the classes still didn ' t escape reading Ovid and learning that All Gaul is divided into three parts. The Latin Club also sponsored a trip to Natural Bridge where delegates of the Virginia Junior Classical League elected Susan Glover state secretary. Foreign Language Department 79 Foreign Language Department Pupils near no English in classes Put out your English brain and enter with a Spanish brain because my room is a Spanish country. This saying by Spanish teacher Miss Maria Lozano was not unfamiliar to the ears of many Spanish students. Miss Lozano along with Mrs. Ivelise Owen carried on their advanced classes entirely in Spanish. Spanish culture and civilization were two of the major areas of study in the classroom. Club Days for Spanish Club members turned into fun as they sang songs, rehearsed for skits and interviewed Pedro Castillo, a member from Columbia. Mrs. Josephine Marshall ' s French II classes spent their last six weeks of school studying French authors such as Victor FHugo and Albert Camus. She and Mr. William Carr monitored their students for pronunciation improvement through use of the language laboratory. Mr. Carr also brought French magazines to help students understand the French culture. The French Club published a magazine, La Vie and decided to give senior members small tokens to express congratulations on their graduation. 80 Foreign Language Department Chicken wire, cardboard and time consuming work are necessary for a good French Club float as Debbie Crews and Bubbie Allen discover.

Many students were perhaps surprised to learn that math can be valuable after leaving high school by taking the new course, shop math. This course involved math relevant to technical skills such as sheet metal work, carpentry or machine work. For once, students who saw little reason for word problems and solving equations could see that this math could even help them in a job after graduation. Since everybody loves a film, these were also introduced into the department. Even if the film involved such stuff as finding the area of a trapezoid, at least it was different. The math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, certainly made itself distinct in that it only had twelve members. These members had to have at least a 90 average in an advanced math course. Each member was also required to undertake a project concerning such complicated subjects as topology and numerology. Algebra books sometimes serve other purposes besides textbooks. Walter Curtis tries to use his as a partial shield from his teacher ' s wary eyes. Complex geometric figures receive careful attention from students such as Tommie Jones. 82 Math Department New methods of teaching geometry come with the arrival of films in the math classes. Mrs. Carolyn Conner prepares to show the next frame in thegeometric filmstrip series.

Sounds more like fun than work, but for students taking the new course, senior science, that was only one of the many things constructed the electronics semester. Work in optics was a time when they could experiment with light rays and build triggering devices that worked much like a seeing eye door. The new course provided a basic understanding of physical science for those students who sought employment after high school graduation. Also new was lab investigation. With main emphasis placed on much class activity, students performed many biological experiments at school. Human biology was another new science course. It provided a basic understanding of the human body for non¬ college-bound students. Consumer chemistry, being taught for a second year was a much more active course than before, as it provided more extensive research for each student. They were no longer confined to their class for experiments, as each student brought in samples of their home soil and were instructed on how to treat it. Consumer chemistry empha¬ sized the qualitative aspects of chemistry, what substances are made of, rather than the quantitative aspect of numbers and proportions. Staring at the acidic solution Jeanette Chanes waits for the substance to change in color and texture. Science Department 85 Science Department Science Clubs Ecology club takes county field trips Keeping up with the ecologically-minded world of today, the Ecology and Conservation Club was formed. Because of the small membership, the original idea of promoting community awareness by much outside activity, dwindled down to merely learning about and observing ecology and conservation. Still the club managed to go on several informative fieldtrips. They went to the Water Purification Plant in South Boston to find out the methods of purifying water. To observe various wild animals, the club went to a wild liferefuge area and a fish hatchery in the northern portion of the county. There were talks with game wardens on fire prevention, as they travelled to a nearby fire tower. Steve Langston, Rick Brubaker and Tom McClure won awards at the Regional Science Fair. Never before could HCSH boast about so many winners. Adrian Secheresiu was the first Halifax student to attend the Virginia Academy of Science which was held at Natural Bridge. There he was presented with an award for his presentation on “Bacteria: Study of the Effects of Antibiotics.” The local Science Fair was smaller than usual, but proved to be the most successful as quality was strongly emphasized in the forty entries. Biorhythm, the study of brain waves, is explained by Steve Langston to Ann Hankins and other onlookers at the Science Fair. 86 Science, Ecology Clubs � ■- ..

Down the hall a little further was Mrs. Freeda Akers, head of the department, teach¬ ing her classes the difference between mass communication and mass production. Two new books in general business and business math challenged students in the department. The new general business book stressed the different kinds of telephone techniques used such as the data phone and the conference call. The business math book added chapters on modern math. The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), a club for students who are trying to enrich their minds with business techniques, was also busy during the year. In March, 50 members of the club attended a regional con¬ ference at Longwood College where they exchanged ideas and discussed club projects with other future business leaders in the state. At the Spring Fair the club sponsored a booth where students could throw darts at teachers ' pictures. The club ' s treasury grew mightily. Teachers ' pictures draw customers to the dart throwing game sponsored by the FBLA at the Spring Fair.

New people simply make each year unique, Mr. Cardwell explained. The department which stressed teacher instruction, and the FFA, student instruction, worked to finish another year of awards and accomplishments. There were forestry judgings, participating in the “Build Our American Community project by studying farm safety, development and landscaping. Sponsoring the Junior Beef Show and Sale and winning the “Distinguished Service Award in the Rural Safety Promotion project were the highlights of the year. FFA president Mike Dixon attended the National FFA convention in Kansas City. Tommy Landrum placed third in the southside tractor contest.

Though at first the young men were skeptical at the idea of girls joining, they soon discovered that the feminine touch was just the thing needed to stir up club interest. The club ' s Homecoming float won first prize and much of the credit went to the creativeness of the female members. Besides individual student projects of wooden night stands and metal motor lifts, the Industrial Arts Department supplied wooden picnic tables for the SCA. Those tables were placed out behind the school where many students enjoyed the freedom of eating outside. A stronger emphasis was placed on mass production as the students organized their class to simulate industrial management. By electing a board of directors to lead the class, they learned the processes involved in the business. A feminine face popped up in mechanical drawing for the first time. Dandra Garrett works with a compass to insure accuracy. “Blast the Bulldogs was the theme of the first place float at Homecoming.

New seam rippers, pressing hams, electric irons, frying pans, can openers and knife sharpeners enabled home economics students to zip with sizzling enthusiasm into a world of clever fashions, valuable cooking experiences and gainful knowledge for future employment. Both senior boys and girls participated in family living classes offered only to twelfth graders. Miss Brenda Little instructed these stu¬ dents in budget management, family relations and the planning and preparing of simple foods. In readying high school students for employment in various areas of home ec¬ onomics, occupational home ec¬ onomics was introduced. Upon completion of this one-year course, students may begin a career in interior decorating or dressmaking by serving as apprentices to those already established in the business. It was under the auspices of the occupational class that a spring fashion show was pre¬ sented in which students and teachers modeled individually made garments. Many of those who possessed a deeper interest in home ec¬ onomics joined the Future Homemakers of America club. The group engaged in various activities including serving . at school banquets and for SCA and FHA functions. Three active delegates traveled to Roanoke, June 13, to attend a statewide convention where officers were elected. The scooter skirt modeled by Joyce Jennings was made by Margaret Dixon. 94 Home Ec., FHA Here comes the bride Gaynell De- Jarnette in the home economics fashion show followed by her at¬ tendants and wedding guests.

Best illustrating this fact was the installation of a boys ' intramural basketball league. More than 100 interested boys, who other¬ wise could not have played varsity or junior varsity sports, took advantage of this opportunity to play. In addition, the Boys ' Phys. Ed. Department con¬ ducted more classes than it had ever done before. Crowded conditions did have some adverse effects, though, on the department ' s program. Instead of taking tests in regular desks the boys sat in the gym bleachers and balanced their papers on their knees as best as they could. With a mighty heave sophomore Darrel Chandler puts the shot.

Department did not produce Amazons football players or roller derby stars. Rather the instructors tried to instill in the girls a better under¬ standing of various sports. They developed a sense of competitiveness and sports¬ manship as they participated in volleyball, softball and field hockey. Eleventh and twelfth graders partici¬ pated in phys. ed. classes as an elective. A part of the girls ' as well as the boys ' phys. ed. classes was driver education in the classroom and on the road. Branching out from the de¬ partment were two major clubs, the Lettermen ' s and the Modern Dance Club. The Lettermen sponsored hayrides while the dancers performed at the SCA Fair and basketball halftimes. Checking under the hood is one of the first things students learn to do in driver training.

Although the classroom hardly accounts for the experience of on-the-job training, the DE students used the time in preparation for district contests. Video-tape recorders were used in preparing for competition in such areas as public speaking, job interviews, and sales demonstration. The students also heard outside speakers including a sales representative from the 3-M Company who gave a sales demonstration. In closing of a busy year, the DE classes held a cook-out style banquet with an informal atmosphere, calming the somewhat steady pace.

This course could be offered with permission of the state school board and was one of the two such courses in the entire state.

Realism brings art appreciation An appreciation for the beauty of the world comes naturally for some artistic people. But for most people, it must be acquired. Teachers of art stressed a realistic approach to art appreciation in order to appeal to a broader scope of students. Including instruction in everything from the basic principles of drawing to on-location land¬ scape sketching and ceramics, teachers Miss Mary Ann Pool and Miss Lissie Hipps in¬ stilled a desire to create in the minds of 200 students. In order to raise funds for such projects, the Art Department found it necessary to sponsor two talent shows for the student body, parti¬ cipate in the Spring Fair and give an art show. As a result the needed money was attained and art at HCSH not only thrived, but flourished. 104 Art Department Captivation in the eyes of pros ¬ pective buyers prompts Miss Mary Ann Pool to explain the Art Club ' s flower display at the Spring Fair. Group instruction provides art students with a chance to observe each other ' s creative efforts while Miss Lissie Hipps watches.

Art Department 105 One afternoon ' s culmination of a year ' s hard work, the choir ' s spring concert is a final triumph for its members as they unite their voices for the last time as a group. An enjoyment of serious music is not a prerequisite to being a choir member, but as the faces of Carolyn Granger and Dorothy Lewis reflect, one soon learns to appreciate the beauty of harmony. An informal gathering at the piano prepares the choir for its Class Day performance as the group, minus its seniors, turns its attention to director Mr. Robert.Wall. 106 Music Department Choir works to regain confidence Whether they were the band, executing a precision field show for a satisfield crowd of football fans, or the choir, blending rich voices in the varied songs of their spring concert, the sounds of the music groups were harmonious. Band members suffered through the sultry May sun without letting their personal complaints affect the clarity of their group style in the first Band Day in downtown South Boston. This concert included the last performance of the year for popular music that the band began playing in September at its halftime shows. The Comettes and major¬ ettes added their own flair to these field performances with carefully designed dance and drill routines. Reduced to a membership of 40, the choir compensated for their losses by spending extra hours in practice until they regained their confidence. Encouraged by district festival ratings of “Excellent ' the choral group began work in earnest for the annual spring concert, following the exper¬ ienced directions of their leader, Mr. Robert Wall. Five outstanding singers performed along with other district schools ' representatives in the All-Regional Choir concert. At the end of the year, the choir congratulated themselves on a goal well-accomplished. Concentration on correct breathing and posture are secondary only to an attentive attitude to the con¬ ductor as Jerry Marable and Robert Smith demonstrate in the Spring Concert. c 0 E Strains of show music echo through the streets of downtown South Boston as a proud and curious crowd admires the sound of the band in the Retail Merchants-sponsored concert. Music Department 107 Rock sounds issue from the trap set of Wesley Peters and the electric bass of Keith Hollister as each concentrates on the complex rhythm of the music. Carpet, new lights boost band morale It takes courage, self- discipline, ability and, most of all, an unfailing eagerness to be in the band. Band members had all of these qualifications in a year that put them to the test. They faced the difficulties of functioning on an insufficient budget, the disappointments of festival ratings they felt were undeserved and the humil¬ ity of lectures after a Friday night show that was less than perfect. But with the strength that comes from a group united with a common goal forged by director Robert Wall, the band pulled through successfully. Adding to their long row of trophies, they won first place in the Harvest Festival and the Gretna and Crewe parades. As a group, they prepared for their hosting of the District Solo and Ensemble Festival. And sometime in-between, a record 18 band students per¬ formed in the All-Regional Band out of which two—Martha Ha- good and Keith Hollister— played their way into the All-Virginia Band. The usual winter concert was performed with an added touch—a piece by HCSH ' s own up-and-coming composer, David Powell. The finale morale boost was _ in the complete remodeling of the bandroom itself. Luxuries such as thick carpeting and fluorescent lights combined with the necessary acoustical tile to make the music depart¬ ment resemble one in looks as well as in sound. Reflections of the music room ' s new acoustical ceiling cast myriad patterns on the tympani head. Intricate in construction, the French horn produces mellow tones when played by Donna Francis. Marching artists all, the band executes a difficult street show beneath the stately presence of Yule- tide lights in South Boston ' s Christmas parade.

Special Interest Clubs Clubs help students plan future Broadening and stimulating students ' interests in several specific areas, the special interest clubs attracted many people. Members did not attend meetings merely to have some¬ where to go; they had a reason. They wanted to learn more abo - t subjects of importance to them and to their future. “Live for Jesus; He died for you was the motto for Youth for Christ. This motto was strengthened by the sharing of inspirational experiences on Club Day and brief devotional periods Wednesday mornings before school. Members also distributed religious tracts stressing the need for Christ in one ' s life. Local nurses and dieticians were among the speakers at meetings of the Future Nurses. These ladies promoted interest in various medical and health careers. Club members also explored opportunities and requirements for entering the medical profession. Charm Club members accented their personal appearance and behavior. Discussions revolved around the “how-to ' s of make¬ up, dress and manners and led the girls in developing more well-rounded personalities. Grand prize tickets, sold at the Spring Fair by the Future Nurses, benefited all clubs. Mrs. Rose Murray, club sponsor, tries to en¬ tice a passerby into buying a chance.

Sheila Conner is one of the assets of the Homecoming Parade. 112 Special Interest Clubs Club Day programs stress safety Safety was the key word as far as the Dragsters were concerned. On Club Day special programs advocating procedures for safe driving stimulated an interest in automobiles and brought boys together who enjoy drag racing. The club tried to develop this program in a manner such that local authorities would not look down on boys who like to race. At the Spring Fair club mem¬ bers operated a watergun booth and a cotton candy machine. Club Day often found bus drivers discussing discipline problems on buses and watching films promoting safety in bus driving. Director of Transpor¬ tation Julian Harrison, state troopers and policemen gave lectures on the necessity of safe driving. With its ring toss for Cokes at the Spring Fair, the Bus Drivers led the other clubs in earning money for the second consecutive year. The Shutterbugs consisted of students who have a special interest in photography. Lec¬ tures at meetings increased this particular interest and demonstrations illustrated proper methods in the handling of cameras and film. Stuffing napkins in a float comes as easy as driving a bus to Marilyn Loftis, Deborah Pruett, Cay Elliott and Rocco Reynolds. Shutterbug Brenda Moore pictures a tremendous win over the Martinsville Bulldogs on the club ' s Homecoming float.

Other major events included the convention in Roanoke in December. Betty Houghton was elected to the office of state vice-president. Following Sarah Bane, who served as the state recording secretary, she is the sixth local club member to serve as a state officer. Members also participated by preparing the display case in the lobby during Teacher Appreciation Week and changing the FTA bulletin board every two weeks. The m ajor concern of the members of the National Honor Society was the induction of new members. At the inductions in March, Rick Brubaker, Ann Monroe Swaim, Sevanne Young¬ er and Tricia Moore discussed the qualifications for member¬ ship. Then, with anxious whispers of “I can ' t find the person I ' m tapping and We forgot to light the candles, the forty- seven senior members welcom¬ ed fifty worth juniors into the honor society.

Proud to be honored for her work with the FTA, Mrs. Elizabeth Fording ad¬ mires a plaque given to her by club president Sarah Bane and secretary Sara Abbott. ‘‘ ' r ftS FTA, National Honor Society 115 Most people are their own counterpoint, for few of them are one dimen¬ sional characters. There ' s the shy, soft voiced girl who becomes loud and brassy when she dons greasepaint under the arc light. And the class clown who writes the most sensitive poetry for the school magazine. And the burly athlete who each Sunday sings tenor in the choir. The problem is that who, in this world of self and speed, takes the time or effort to ex¬ amine the human beings around them to get be¬ yond that first image a person projects. But some try. And more often than not, they find it worthwhile. The year¬ book of Griffith High School in Indiana perhaps said it best. Scratch a hood and find a people. The impish smile of sophomore Walter Lantz foreshadows some kind of mischievous exper¬ ience for his classmates in Journalism I. Enjoying the sunshine and each other ' s com¬ pany, Linda Johnson, Lavonia Simon, Eliza¬ beth Mitchell, and Anne Edney converse on the front lawn during their lunch period. Emptiness surrounds Mrs. Freeda Akers when she pausesin the corridor for a quiet mo¬ ment during morning classes. The opinions of two sisters usually follow the same lines, especially when one needs to be backed up in an argument, as Terri Hodges does for sister Sharon. Gazing out the window at students lounging on the lawn, Debbie Bradley ponders whether she should retain her privacy or give it up for sunshine, fresh air and noisy neighbors. Vice-principal Larry Clark relaxes during lunch with an apple while his fellow principals are busy in the cafeteria finding differences of opinions with students. 118 People That girl is always such a flirt, thinks Elsie Cheatam as she lets her mind wander during a class discussion. By Anne Neal A black likes soul , a white likes rock; but both opinions add color to a student body. go nowhere. Believe me. I know! Such are the opinions of different people, somewhat stereotyped into their partic¬ ular age groups. But age is not the only factor in deter¬ mining how a person thinks. A black fellow: Hey, did ya hear that the Jackson Five are going to be in Richmond next week? Man, they know HCSH-2000 OPINIONS Eager to be Mr. Everything and new to high school life, a sophomore might say, Sure, I ' m going to join every sin¬ gle club I can find. That ' s how to make yourself known. A more experienced junior might be heard muttering, ! might join a club — if someone really needs me. At the same time, the big- time senior who really knows his way around might say, Heck no! I ' m sick of all that stuff. Besides, all I ' ve got to worry about is grad¬ uating. Advice from a young liberal minded teacher could include, Every student should have a well-planned extra-curricular program. Too much emphasis is usually put on grades alone, while an old battle-ax at the position would suggest that a student not get too involved with side things. Grades are still most important in col¬ lege and without college you how to sing! A white standing nearby: So what! I saw Black Oak Arkansas there last week. Now that was music. A country boy speaking of his prize possession — I ' m running a 396 four speed with oversized cam, straight head¬ ers and a Holly four barrell! In bewilderment the city slicker asks, What ' s a head¬ er? Of course, there are those who could care less about cars. They ' d rather speed along with bugs in their teeth on a 750 Honda. Instead of NASCAR it ' s Motocross. Varied trains of thought also create for each person a different purpose for atten¬ ding high school — The only reason I ' m here is because my old man will lock me up if I don ' t come. When I hit seven¬ teen, I ' m leaving! Yea? Well my old man is gonna give me a car when I graduate. That ' s reason enough for me. Some even come for acade¬ mic reasons — I want to go to college, but I can ' t unless I get a scholarship and I have to keep my grades up. Then there are those thoughts which just about everybody has in common. For example, just imagine how much time out of the day peo¬ ple spend thinking about the opposite sex. Why did the administration let girls wear jeans? What have they got against legs anyway or I sure wish they ' d break up. I ' ve been wanting to date him ever since I had English with him in the ninth grade. So whether old, young, black, white, hippie or red neck, people are always think¬ ing. Yes, they ' re usually all different ideas, but it ' s those some 2000 different thoughts that gives a place interest, spirit and life it¬ self.

Elusive With senior exam exemp¬ tions thriving in their second year, the ninety-two average was the peak of success for some, the El Dorado for others, and the impossible dream for underc lassmen. ninety-two For those who really wanted to be exempt, there could be no days spent at home nursing a sore toe or a runny nose. Most kept their nose to the grindstone, knowing that be¬ ing exempt meant three extra days of eat, drink, and be merry at home. sought The sophomores were jealous, the juniors were anxious, but the seniors were studying, cramming, doing bulletin boards and then, blissfully, sleeping late while the rest of the world took exams. Ah, that elusive 92—a beautiful dream.

They are seniors who never were juniors, sophomores who took junior English in summer school and entered school in September as rank-and-file seniors. seniors Enjoying the privileges as much as the next senior, these minority students were hard to pick out in a crowd. Some carried full academic loads, some had DE or ICT and got out at 1:20. Some were active in school events, some were not so active; whatever the situation, these seniors were working hard to accomplish their chosen goal—graduate a year early. succeed They had served their time in guidance offices, giving reasons and arguments for every two that the counselor could come up with. Teachers, counselors, and relatives warned against a hasty decision that took six months to make. Many classmates were encouraging, empathiz¬ ing with anyone who wanted to escape the nine-to-three overcrowded jungle. Most of those who made the attempt found it to be a not-so-dif- ferent year. Anticipating what his future might hold, displaced senior William Carr wonders if skipping a grade was a good choice.

Ven¬ able appointed a committee to find out exactly what sen¬ iors wanted at their com¬ mencement. The students discussed several suggestions including doing away with Baccalaureate. plan The possibility of having the exercises on Sunday after¬ noon was one of the main points of interest. As a decision of the committee, Baccalaureate was doomed. Because of conflicting ideas, however, the entire senior class voted on the decision. The result showed 262 seniors for dropping the exercise and 228 for keeping. Because it was not a two-thirds majority as was arranged before, Bac¬ calaureate was reinstated. graduation The committee did make plans to involve more stu¬ dents in the program and to have an awards day rather than night.

They were jubilant as they watched the Class of 71 march off the field in laughter and tears. The Class of 72 was finally coming into its own. came, went In September they found that they were worthy of a little respect. They ex¬ celled in all fields, and they really gave the under¬ classmen fits when they talked the administration into very new privileges. But there were things going on beneath the surface that not many people realized, not even some of the seniors. too quickly The last stand was fall¬ ing much too quickly. They had set new records and had been the first class to do a lot of things, but everything was coming to an end. The security blanket that had been HCSH was being with¬ drawn and a world of fast- moving things and people was rushing in to capture their talent, ambition and drive. The time to prove it or move it was at hand, and the dreams and hopes of a lifetime were at stake. With one quick handshake, they were no longer seniors, but leaves cast to the wind. Enjoying a refreshing drink and contemplating his college years at Harvard, West Fuller wonders where his senior days have gone. Homecoming, Christmas, Spring Fair and Graduation whizzed by seniors as they finished their last year.

After months of debate, the Board of Supervisors agreed on April 4 to fund the School Board ' s plan for the construction of a new senior high to house 2,000 students. plans new The proposal also calls for a vocational school to be constructed adjacent to the new senior high with a program suited to local needs. The new vocational school will be built when federal funds are granted to aid in the construction costs. senior high The present junior high will be used for some undetermined educational purpose, while the present senior high will house the eighth and ninth grades. The proposed plan will cost the city and county approximately $5,671,000 for the new high school with approximately $910,400 being spent for the proposed vocational school.

After a somewhat shaky start in September with grumbling over required haircuts and trips home to change blue jeans, the students were pleased when the administration relaxed the ruling on relaxed the old dress code. According to Principal L.M. Venable, the administration tried to give the students the responsibility they had been requesting, not only in the relaxing of the dress code but in other things such as the senior ' s free study hall periods. These attempts ran very smoothly and Mr. Venable and the administration were not only pleased with the results, but inspired to in spring work with and for the student body in more future projects. New-found privileges, foreign exchange students, teachers, a remodeled bandroom, and curriculum surveys were all part of the year, but as Mr. Venable said, All were acquired through a union — a union of cooperation — a union of student self-discipline and administrative trust.

The Guidance Department, supplemented by a full time secretary, receiving room and individual telephones for each counselor, placed more seniors in college than ever before. In addition to this, some past graduates came back to their high school counselors seeking new expands employment or college placements. Students were given the opportunity to attend seminars at Danville Community College where they were instructed in vocational and academic courses of study. Selected to participate in a new College Guidance Program, 166 juniors were given tests to be used in the preparation of a scale of “norms” to be used in college course planning. programs The library added books, increased AV materials and reached more students than ever before. Only one problem existed which was a source of concern to the library staff. This was the restricted use of inadequate space. For the first time students could only use the library on certain days. Despite this problem, the library was used by a greater number of students than ever before.

It ' s the little things like early morning bus duty, standing outside the classroom door when the bells ring, or having to hand in the lesson plans punctually. All of these things are a part of the routine of the schoolteacher, the routine that ' s always there and will always remain. plagued Routine could be cited as being one of the reasons young people are straying away from occupations as instructors. They are afraid of becoming systemized, afraid of becom¬ ing merely a part of the func¬ tioning machine called a school system. They long for individuality and avoid the 9:00 to 3:00 job with regu¬ lar yearly pay increases and go for the jobs that may hint at better wages, more prestige by routine and a successful future.

A student goes home and supposedly to faculty studies for a test, comes to school, takes it and it ' s all over. A teacher goes home, spends one to two hours, on the average, trying to make out a test which is a challenge but not too hard, types it on stencils, makes a key, goes to school, hands it out and walks out with 30 ungraded papers!

The Emergency School Assistance Program not only provided aides for the high school but enabled 22 qualified helpers to be spread among the elementary schools remedial throughout the county. Seven degree teacher ' s aides were also employed by the South Boston city school system. A home school coordinator, another ESAP employee aided the school by attempting to keep good relations between the home and the school. This coordinator observed the student attendance record programs and pinpointed students who were falling behind. In certain instances it was discovered that some students were not capable of doing the academic work required of them. If this was true, the coordinator attempted to introduce them to a vocational rehabilitation program which would better prepare them for work after graduating.

Aides 209 Efficiency All complex mechanisms require many working parts and a school is not an exception. Efficient secre¬ tarial, custodial and cafeterial staffs kept HCSH running smoothly. Secretaries did typing and dictation for the principals when they were not writing various types of admission slips for students or accounting for the finances of the school office. Since last year ' s computer grade-reporting organization was discontinued, their burden was eased slightly with the omission of the writing out of the endless grade sheets it required. Teachers were not the only ones to be blessed with aids as Miss Queen Marable acted as the office ' s first secretarial aid. The custodial staff was made up of two cooperative parts — the day staff and the night staff. Reporting to work at 8 a.m., the day staff mowed grass, trimmed aid school shrubbery and swept the halls. At 3:30 p.m. the night staff began cleaning the rooms and readied the building for the next day. Mrs. Nora Clark and the cafeterial staff worked to prepare nutritious meals of a variety of menus. Despite their complaints for better meals, students lined the cafeteria and lobby waiting for their lunch. The staff always prepared extra spaghetti, the favorite meal of students.

But not in all places, however, for some businesses slow down and make no prog¬ ress at all; they lose the ability to contribute and, ultimately, fold.

Old men sitting on the porch. A young boy walks in and buys milk with a handful of pennies. Then he leaves as fast as he can. This is a typical daily life scene in a rural section of Halifax County, far into the country. It is not Halifax County personified, but it is also not entirely uncommon. It just happens to be what first comes to the minds of most people when they think of a rural southern community such as Halifax. There is the country store and the boy By West Fuller Country store, Hardee ' s bring contentment to rural southern Halifax County where it is said all the rich people live, if there are any. If one does not live in either Halifax or South Boston he lives in one of a vast number of gatherings of homes, usually as a farmer. It is in one of these gather¬ ings that one might find the young boy and the coun¬ try store. These people are generally uncomplicated types, with modest tastes. It is these people who fought most vehemently against the new school last spring, be¬ cause they didn ' t want a tax increase. They enjoy the farm life and the beau¬ tiful outdoors, both of ranee of social contact be¬ tween races, from both sides of the spectrum. No one ob¬ jects though — the blacks are hardly militant, and the whites are satisfied with the setup, though wary of much contact. There is not too much evening entertainment. There used to be a drive-in movie, but a shopping center took its place. There is a theatre in town, but the movies are never any good or simply too late. So everyone usually ends up going to nearby Dan¬ ville for a movie and pizza or they ride around Hardee ' s all night. For the more ad- HM.IG4X LIKES IT SIMPLE with nothing but pennies, but there is more. South Boston is the largest town in the county, and it is technically a city, but little else can be said for its size. Walking down the street one might hear the store owners standing on the sidewalk talking about how the football team is doing or how much a new municipal building is needed. The second largest commu¬ nity is Halifax — five miles to the north and consider¬ ably smaller. There is one main road leading from the town called Mountain Road, which there is an abundance of in Halifax County. One can ride for hours on horse¬ back through the freshest green lands without ever meeting civilization. Needless to say, the people are very conservative. Long hair is slowly coming around, though shoulder length is still fairly unacceptable. Liberal political views are shunned — everyone used to vote Democrat because Robert E. Lee did. Most everyone is religious — and Protestant— and very much like their pa¬ rents. Racial relations are fairly stable. There is a widespread intole- venturous, there is plenty of parking space in the country. The older folks usually stay home. The very fact that there is no entertainment leads to the reason that so many people enjoy living in Halifax Coun¬ ty. These people who lead such lives are easily satisfied — a good movie, a win for the local football team, or even a pleasant day of chat on the porch of the old country store. As long as their style of living and their type of people don ' t change, most Halifax Countians are content and happy. Community 215 Diamonds might be forever but birth- stones are nice too.

Acknowledgments 243 A large, red-brick building stands along the highway, unmolested by time. It is HCSH — as it was in 71 and as it was in ' 53. It will be the same in September, too. The year will start as always, three classes — two veteran, one green. Same staff, same faculty, same community. It ended that way in June. Almost. What was that about the city and county agreeing to build a whole new senior high and convert this one to a junior high? And then there was of course the liberalization of the dress code to include long hair and girls ' pants, and a test of a modular scheduling system in the shape of senior free periods. The basketball team did win the regular season district title, the track team the regional title, and the cross country team their district crown, but what happened to the football team? And there was something about this student apathy thing. These were minor things, undertones of a year that did little to change HCSH for the present, but worked to mold a different future.

We step from an end to a beginning. No longer the Friday night games, the SCA meetings, the hot spring classes. They are ended, but there is a new beginning. For many the summer will mean summer school, for what reasons concerns only them. For a good many others it means long, hard hours on a summer job, making money to buy that car. For others there will be basking in the sun, or will it be cooling it in the shade? And then there will come the Fall, to make juniors of the sophomores, to make adults of the juniors, and to intrigue and frighten the seniors as they step out on their own, leaving behind a school, to shelter them no more. 246 Closing qivE WAy to new beqiNNiNqs l r ' 1 1 T f | 1 J Greeted with a smile and a hand¬ shake, Dora Martin accepts her diploma from Mr. Udy Wood as Mr. L.
