Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1973 volume:

THE NEW VOICE: 1973 1 The 1972-73 student life of Maysville High School encompasses a world of involvement, interests, ideas, and instrucction: learning to express themselves through writing, art, music, speech, drama, and even homework assignments; developing physical abilities as individuals as well as team members; involving themselves with the local community; supporting efforts to bring home prisoners of war; demonstrating both local and national political convictions in the election campaigns; - and learning through a varied circle of experiences, some completing the metamorphosis to graduates. The New Voice: 1973 seeks to show many shared memories of the students of MHS. Memories of a favorite teacher, a favorite class, a best friend, or an unforgettable phase of one's life can be found in this diary of 1973. In addition to memories, this book presents a chronology of beginning, ending, and beginning again. It also represents the combination of change and continuity always present at Maysville High School. The New Voice: 1973 captures not only the customary events of the school year, but also the new ideas, the new opportunities, and the new means of expression of the students of Maysville High School. This year taught more than academics; it taught nearly four hundred people to cooperate, to work together as a school body, and, most of all, to express the new voice of MHS in 1973.

These various organizations provide a vital function for the school, not only in the sense that they promote worthwhile activities within both the school and community, but also in that they provide an opportunity for students to broaden their interests in different fields. Some clubs gave young men and women the chance to gain more knowledge in a certain area. Such as the Science Club, others offered students the responsibility of student government, and still other organizations found time to serve the community, as did the Spirit Club, whose members gave baskets of food to the needy during the holiday season. However, if one common denominator can be found among all the organizations, the bond would be fun, students learning, students enjoying themselves, but always reaching upward toward new horizons. 43 Spirit Club of'73 CLUB OFFICERS: President, Cheryl Grannis; Vice-President, Valerie Poe: Secretary, Bobbie Wilcox; Treasurer, Gerri Dean. 44 Sports enthusiasm sparked school spirit to a fever pitch this year. The Spirit Club of '73, a newly formed organization sponsored by Miss Arlene Walton, Miss Bertie Wallin, and Mr. Tom Creamer, became a center of the schools many enthusiasts. As cute outlet of this zest, this club avidly supported the basketball team, not only through selling ribbons, but also by having a basketball banquet, However, supporting the basketball team was not the only function of the Spirit Club. The members also enthusiastically sold magazines as a primary means of support for the yearbook. This club made possible this edition of The New Voice: 1973. 45 Student Council The Student Council of MHS, composed of fourteen members from the school provided students with the responsibility at student government. The organization learned not only about school from a governmental stand point, but also saw the intricacies of the financial and administrative aspects of education in our modern world. Representing not only themselves, but the entire student council was instrumental in the planning of the Homecoming, and Parent’s Night, and also in the airing of students suggestions to make MHS a better school in the future. 46 Mike Thomas, President; Nola Smoot, Secretary. Speech and Debate Club The Speech and Debate Club, dedicated to providing each member with the opportunity to enrich his life both in speaking and in cultural decorum, suffered a tragic loss in March, when its beloved sponsor, Mrs. Lula Calvert Morris passed away. Mrs. Morris started the Speech and Debate Club at MHS and it was largely through her untiring efforts that the club functioned smoothly. The club members, saddened by the loss nevertheless attempted to proceed in the pursuit of the lofty goals that Mrs. Morris had set out. The organization held a bake sale, and also sold concessions at a home basketball game in order to sponsor the annual banquet, held in April. The goal of the club, as expressed in the theme of the banquet, is to become a complete person with refined mannerisms and an optimistic outlook toward mankind, much as Mrs. Morris had expressed in her lifetime. 47 Hi-Y The Hi-Y, an organization open to all boys in grades 10-12, is concerned with the ability of young men to have fun while growing together with their friends. Sponsored by Mr. Robert Kimble, the Hi-Y is responsible for one of the highlights of the MHS school year - their annual initiation of new members. In separating the men from the boys, the initiation exemplifies Darwin's concept of survival of the fittest. The organization also provides necessary services to the school, as the Hi-Y sold concessions for a basketball game and also provided drivers for the Homecoming festivities. In May, the club journeyed to Cincinnati to see a Red's baseball game. The trademark of the Hi- Y was evident on that trip as well as throughout the year - young men enjoying themselves.

As an integral part of the homemaking, FHA provides opportunities for students to have additional experiences in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. These experiences will serve them in good stead as they continue Toward New Horizons.'' 49 Latin Club The thirty-four members of the 1972-73 Latin Club participated in activities and monthly meetings throughout the year. Club members wrote and acted in many skits produced during the year, and some gave talks on their travels during the previous summer. Instead of having a banquet at their last meeting, Latin Club members voted to have a picnic at the Aberdeen Park, because of the small number of members in the club. An entirely self-supporting club, membership is based on present or previous enrollment in Latin I or II. Sponsor, Mrs. Helen Smoot, encourages all Latin students to join. Nancy Osborne, President; Nancy Bruce, Vice-President; Terry Ramey, Secretary; Vicki Helphinstine, Treasurer; Bobbie Wilcox, Reporter. 50 Science Club A. —■ . BELOW: Kathy Henke on left spent numberous hours working with ham- sters in a scientific experiment. The newly-formed Maysville High School Science Club, sponsored by Mr. David McDowell, Miss Barbara Carrigan and Mr. Edwin Donovan, instilled within its members an awareness of the necessity of independent study. In striving to reach this goal, they participated in various activities. Included within these activities were a field trip to Morehead State University, participating in a Seminar at the Skylab space mission in Lexington and a Science Symposium in Louisville, and independent study groups. Most important, the Science Club gave students an opportunity to form a self-governing, independent body. 51 More than just extracurricular activities, the various sports programs of MHS benefit those who are actively participating, and also, those who are watching. The thrills shown the fans by our football, basketball, baseball, golf, and bowling teams provided necessary releases from the constant strain of everyday life. The students and adults alike can take pride in the fine showings recorded by our athletes in the past year. Of course, the greatest part of the credit belongs to the athletes themselves, who spend hours upon hours of tedious practice perfecting their individual talents and meshing with their teammates to form a compatible unit. In that sense, these youngsters gain more than the glory of being a sports hero now, they also learn a vital lesson about life. The ability to function within a unit, the grace to accept victory, the courage to cope with losing. All are essential in the greatest game of all, life. The athletes of MHS can truthfully say that sports teach them much more than how to shoot a lay-up or tackle a ball-carrier. Sports help them become better human beings. 52 mm v a m: J.46W SPORTS Basketball It was a long season, yet one which eventually was to have a happy ending. Sparked by four seniors, the Bulldogs had a winning season which ultimately led to a trip to Louisville and a membership in the sweet 16. The Bulldogs had it all together, losing only 7 of their 26 games. Earning themselves the honor of being the number one team in the region and one of the top teams in the state, the Bulldogs carried on the great basketball tradition which has long graced Maysville High. Each team member was a vital asset to the team, and being well-coached by Tom Creamer, was given the opportunity to exhibit his own special talents. 55 57 Football The Maysville Bulldogs, under new coaches, David Cope and John Thomas, faced a year of rebuilding in 1972. Riddled by the Ijss of many former standouts due to graduation, the squad was forced to look to new faces for leadership. Led in offense by Sophomore quarterback Jim Clevenger and by Senior Carlos Greene on defense, the Bulldogs played a tough schedule and made several strong showings during the season and promised that 1973 was to be a banner year. The return of many prospective stars next year will hopefully add much prestige to the young football program of Maysville High.

Rainy spring weather made impossible more than one, full outside practice during the six-weeks season. The team was struck with misfortune. For every game during one-half of the season, the team was without one or two starters - due to injury. All but two members, Terry Gilbert and Cietis Corde, were without previous high school baseball experience.

BACK ROW: Ronnie Hedges, Mark Lawrence, Mike Berryman, Terry Gilbert, Dale Hickman, Terry Thoroughman, Bob Henderson, Mr. Robert Kimble, David Blake, Mr. Bill Forman. 60 61 Golf Teams Qualify for Tournament Play The golf teams at MHS have become necessary parts of our sports program because of the enthusiasm of their members. Being a participant in this sport involves not only personal expense, but also time spent after school and on weekends in hours of practice. The girls’ golf team, coached by Mrs. Helen Smoot, provides the only opportunity for girls to participate in any sports program, here at MHS. However, because the majority of the few members had little previous experience, the team as a whole, did not play in any tournaments this year. Jennie Lou Smith did qualify for the Girls' State Golf tournament at Glasgow, Kentucky. Mr. Glenn Roberson, coaches a team of experienced, talented golfers. The Boys' Golf team placed second in the Regional Golf Tournament, May 14 at California, Ky. and participated in this year's state tournament. Max Baker and Stan Cochran qualified to play in the Individual State Tournament, May 30-31.

The team played Carroll Co. The attendants who made up the court were chauffeured by high school boys and escorted by football players. At halftime the Band marched on to the field and gave a rendition of songs while the girls were driven around the field. The crowd stood silent as Carla Toncray, reigning queen crowned Cheryl Grannis the Homecoming Queen of '72.' After the game, high school students attended the Homecoming Dance in the gym with music by Boothill. 67 Qeniors Present Pillow Talk 68 Maysville High School seniors presented Pillow Talk to full audiences. The play was acclaimed as one of the best senior plays in MHS History. The three act comedy concerns a frustrated interior decorator and a swinging songwriter and their humorous exploits. The plot is thickened by the appearance of Jonathan Forbes, who claimed to be in love for the fourth time. As if it was needed, comic relief was added by Alma, a meddlesome maid, and an effiminate Peirot. Also a large cast of seniors aided in the comic antics of the play. 69 Senior Enjoy Trip The Class of '73 under the guidance of seven able sponsors embarked on April 7 for points south. The two Greyhound buses rolled into Nashville Tennessee that afternoon and the students toured the city that day. The first night was capped by a con- cert at the Grand Ole Opry, which the seniors enjoyed immensely. The next morning, the wagons rolled for Daytona Beach, Flo- rida, where the students spent Sunday night on the boardwalks. Monday, the seniors toured the fantastic Walt Disney World, and had the night free to swim (or sleep). The seniors broke camp Tues- day, toured Silver Springs, and Marineland, and spent a raucous night on the bus. Wednesday afternoon the two beleagured busloads of boys and girls returned to Maysville. 70 71 Drama One aspect of the new voice: 1973” has been active participation of students in new classes. One new class, Drama, offered study and appreciation of art and literature, the actual acting and producing of plays and the development of the students' personalities. A quickened imagination, a better developed voice and body and a keener appreciation of art and humanity are all rewards of the drama students. 72 73 Art An awareness of art to bring about a deeper appreciation for the arts has long been needed at M.H.S. This year, for the first time, MHS students were offered a course in art. This course opened the door for many talented students, helping them to develop their talents and, in many cases, become aware of them. The New Voice: 1973 seeks to portray to you this new art course, it's new teacher and its new, young artists. 74 75 Driver's Education One of the most exciting programs in MHS today is our Driver's Education Program. This program encompasses eight points. 1. Student Attitude 2. Driver Manual (Permit) 3. Instruments of the car 4. Defensive Driving 5. Safety Program 6. Driving Skill 7. Development of safety attitude toward driving 8. Maintenance and knowledge of the car. Student attitude is the most important point because our Drivers' Education objective is not to get students their license, but to instill in the students the need for a safety-skilled driver. 76 ABOVE: Debbie McKee checks the oil, as she learns another phase of proper care of a car. RIGHT: Linda Patton receives needed instruction from instruc- tor Mr. Walker Belcher. 77 Choral Music The Choral Music Department, under the direction of Miss Mary Denney, branched out into a new phase of musical development and understanding with the addition of the new Music Theory class. The students in this class became involved in many news experiences - from singing songs by syllables to listening to jazz records of the twenties. In addition to her new classroom responsibilities, Miss Denney conducted another successful year of contest competition, concerts, and fourth period music sessions. 78 79 Band The MHS band, under the able direction of its new director, Ralph Frank, again excelled as one of the state’s top bands. Receiving superiors at contest, the band lived up to all its past standards of excellence. This year, aside from having a new director, marked a beginning of a welcomed change in our instrumental music department with the initiation of a marching band. 80 3.

Always interesting to observe, our couples experience many obvious change in their relationship. They are seldom seen as singles and lead observers to believe that they are made together. Whichever the case, our couples brighten the halls of MHS as much as they brighten each others' lives. 84 85 The New Voice: 1973 The New Voice: 1973 speaks for itself; its existence exemplifies the growing spirit at MHS for active student participation, for it is a product of student desire and involvement. These pages, the first yearbook at MHS since 1933, are an attempt to record the school's life: teachers, administration, organizations, sports, activities and, most important, students combine to form a vital organization - Maysville High School. 86 87 Et Cetera . . .

The twenty student librarians, under the leadership of Mrs. Tressa Collins, perform many important duties in their daily contact with the library facilities here at MHS. Whether checking out books for other students, taking inventory, or shelving books each student librarian has the opportunity to gain more insight into the many responsibilities of a conscientious librarian, and become a more integral part of the student body. 90 The Roaring 20's The class of '73 entertained the seniors and their dates with the Roaring Twenties on May 12. Mr. Forman announced each couple upon entering through a beaded doorway across from the flashing marquee announcing the theme. Below was the blue and white 1923 Cleveland Convertible where junior attendents Jennie Lou Smith and Robert Thomas crowned Queen Tracy Helfin and King Robin White, surrounded by the juniors and seniors that completed her majesty's court. The checkered tablecloths, art gallery, and street scene carried out the theme, under the blue crepe ceiling accented by a revolving silver reflector ball, the couples danced to music by the Apocrypha. 91 Graduation 92 . . . and then they were happy. 93 ”. . . and so there ain’t nothing more to write about, and I am glad of it, because if I’d knowed what a trouble it was to make a book I wouldn’t a tackled it and I ain’t agoing to no more.” - Mark Twain 95 Autographs
