As juniors last year, our class worked together to raise enough money to have the Senior Class of 1975 a memorable prom. With- out the leadership of Mrs. Ann Meredith, it would have been much more difficult. In gratitude and appreciation for her interest and assistance, we dedicate the 1976 Nitronian to Mrs. Ann Meredith. People are of two kinds, and he Was the kind I’d like to be. Some preach their virtues, and a few Express their lives by what they do; That sort was he. No flowery phrase Or glibly spoken word of praise Won friends for him. He wasn’t cheap Or shallow, but his course ran deep. And it was pure. You know the kind. Not many in life you find Where deeds outrun their words so far That more than what they seem, they are. «as Enchanted Evening Clockwise: Mr. Lyons and Mr. May stand in the reception line; Prom decorations; Linda Dye and Gary Bright well enjoy the prom; couples enjoy a buffet style dinner; Mandy Tucker and Roger Good. 14 15 Couples enjoy good food and dance to the sound of “Black Horse” at the 1975 Prom.

The ’Cats played poorly in the first half and then in the final minutes Mark Atkins intercepted a pass and Gary Brightwell hit Gary Surface with five of eight passes to almost pull the game out, but Sisson- villes’ Kelly came out of nowhere to knock down a touchdown pass to Surface. John Hogshead added the two extra points for the Wildcats. 63 Gary Brightwell inches his way to a first down. 64 Nitro 23-Hurricane 0 A 30 yard pass from ALL-KVC quarterback Gary Brightwell to junior Mark Ferris and a 33 yard scamper by back Mike Collins was all that was needed to set up the ’Cats first six-pointer, on only their second offensive series of the evening. Mike Collins evenually scored from 1 yard out for the only points needed to preserve the Wildcat victroy. A fumble recovery by Dana Casto and a 16 yard pass from Brightwell to Gary Surface gave Hogshead another try and he re- sponded well, by booting a 33 yarder through the uprights to end the first half, 10-0. The second half started when Gary Surface recovered a fumble setting up the ’Cats second touchdown. Brightwell hit Ferris again, this time for 13 yards and Collins had a gutly 9-yard dash, before Mark “tick” then took it over from the two. Coach Vance put in re- serve quarterback Don Doss. Don responded very well, as he guided the ’Cats into scoring territory, where Hogshead kicked an amazing 44 yard field goal to put Nitro out in front 20-0. Hogshead's last kick of the evening came on the next offensive series as Doss put the Wildcats on the Hurricane 18 and Hogshead booted a 33 yarder to end the scoring for the evening. 65 Quaterback “keep” works.

He feels that the team is working together, and has reached most of their goals. One of the biggest problems was the lack of size, but all of their hard work seems to have taken care of it. They were strong in speed and their defense, as well as in good scoring. Everything went about as well as he had expected this season. Along with Coach McMillian, the students of Nitro High School, would like to express our pride in the Wildcat Basketball squad of 1975- 76. 70 71 Girls Basketball Top to Bottom: Lynette Skeens, Lynda Nutter, Leslie Auer, Debbie Lilly, Diane Santmyer, Carla Tyree.

Brightwell safely back to first. Jeff Harrah tries to out run the ball. The Nitro Baseball team compiled an outstanding record of 15-7 for the 1975 season. The pitchers were what made the team go. Particularly Lloyd Hart (6-1), Johnny Starcher (4-2), and Ron- nie Workman (6-2). The seniors on the squad included: Gary Barnard, Dave Casebolt, Jeff Harrah, Joe Knicely, Ar- thur Stover, Johnny Starcher, and Ron- nie Workman. The ’Cats bowed out of tournament play with a disappointing loss at the hands of Hurricane, but not before knocking off arch-rival Saint Albans for the third time in this season. Stover starts out on a risky steal towards second. 76 Gary Barnard doesn’t quite make it, with an out at first. 77 Coach’s Comment: “I have played, or have been associated with Baseball teams every year since I was eight years old. However, I am more proud to have been part of this 1975 N.H.S. Baseball team than any other in my life” According to all known records, this 1975 team was the best baseball team in the history of Nitro High School. They were K..V.C.

We will lose some very good wrestlers this year, but we also have some fine young wrestlers returning next year. I could not have asked for a better group to work with.

The team placed 2nd in the Tri-Valley Conference, which was held at Hurricane, and third in the G. W. Invitational. Diane Dempsey, a senior was no. 1 for Nitro in the broad jump. Her longest jump was 15.8 were she placed 1st at Barbersville and G.W. Linda Dempsey, another senior anchored our team in the 440 and the 880 relays, she also ran the 220 and was in the Mile at the regional track meet, and was an inspiration to all. Senoir Maria Braunlin was another girl who was very strong in the 880 and a very dedicated runner. The junior team members were: R. Vance, Tami Bennett, and D. Whittington, who will be strong for us this season, as they are very enthusiastic and dedicated in practice. The big sophomore “surprise” last year was Donna Nutter, who improved greatly over the season starting with the time of 18 sec. and ending up with 15 sec. in the 110 yd. hurdles, placing 1st in the Hurricane track meet. The other sophomores were L. Hur- ley, S. Parry, and C. Riffe. Kim Derrick and Claudia Hechesky were our shot putters. Nitro was in the State Track Meet with Nutter in the 110 hurdles and the 440 relay team. Diane Dempsey also came in 3rd in the broad jump in the State Meet. Donna came in 4th and the relay team 5th. The girls will have to tighten up in practice, with the seniors gone, but we did it before and we can do it again. Ho vs Track w Back: Coach T. Chaney, J. Burdette, D. Snyder, J. Burdette, C.

The boys worked hard during the spring to attain some personal goals they had set. The team leaders were seniors Robin Arthur, Don Rucker, Bob McCutheon, and Mitch Crislip—juniors Greg Cobb, Mike Collins, Mark Bailey, Mike Bailey, Mark Tyson, John Hogshead, and Jeff Nichols-sopho- mores David Thomas, Jim Burdette, and Mike Smith. Two school records were broken last spring—Bob McCutheon in the 2 Mile Run and Mike Collins in the pole vault. Members of the team that participated in the State Track Meet were as follows: Mike Collins—pole vault, Robin i Arthur-high jump, Greg Cobb-440 yd. dash, Jeff Nichols Relays, and Don Rucker Relays.

These boys run in meets where the course is at least 2 miles and no more than 3 miles long. The boys don’t run in fear, but for fun. This is a grueling sport, but some individuals like it that way. There isn’t a lot of publicity in this sport, but the participant acheives self-satisfaction. 89 I know the finish line is out there somewhere. Mark Bailey says to himself.

We are looking forward to an even better record than last years since we have several good players returning. Kerry Har- mon, Dave Purdy, Jim Stewart, and Jerry Pernell are our return- ing hopefuls. The official opening day of the tennis season is March first.

The reason for this misfortune being, that we (the N.H.S. golf team) had practiced on the course prior to the tournament. Although we had recieved per- mission from the main office to practice, the disqualification still held. Huntington finished 2nd in the States, one week after Nitro beat them by 11 strokes. “1 feel Nitro would have been very competitive in the running for the State Champion- ship.” 92 Coach Vernon Redman.

Senior Class History Though our high school days may be over, memories of the events which took place will remain with us always. Our Sophomore year began by electing class officers: Presi- dent Larrv Dawson; Vice President, Scott Sadler; Treasurer, Th eresa Stareher. Peggy Parsons was selected as the Sophomore Attendent to Miss Wildcat and we won our first float competition with ‘ Riding to Victory.” In our Junior year, we elected as our class officers: President, Larry Dawson; Vice President, Tony Shrewsbury; Treasurer, Lin- da Dve. Our Junior Attendent to Miss Wildcat was Peggy Parsons. Our float won for the second year with the theme “Flap Away the Knights.” The Prom was held May 10, 1975 at the Coonskin Ar- mory. It was an “Enchanted Evening” with Black Horse as the band. Our Senior class officers were: President, John Hogshead; ice President, Dana Casto; Treasurer, Rita W hite. Elected as the Student Council officers were: President, Doug Brick; Vice Presi- dent, Kerry Harmon: Secretary-Treasurer, David Purdy. Linda Dye was crowned Miss Wildcat, her attendents being Diane Bowlin and Peggy Parsons. W e won the float competition for the third year in a row with the bicentennial theme of “A Step for Freedom, a March to Victory.” Diane Bowlin was crowned Snow Queen and her attendents were Linda Dye, Toni Horton, and Rita W hite. Our class colors were Red, W hite, and Blue; our flower, a red rose; our class song “Our Last Song Together” by Neil Sedaka; and our mot- to “Live for tomorrow and today, for yesterday is gone.” Jack Eastwood was chosen as our speaker for graduation. These are just a few of the memorable occasions we shall cherish forever. “Let us the children of the night Throw off the cloak that hides the scar! Let us he children of the light. And show the ages what we really are.” 122 Mr and Miss Senior Linda Dye and Gary Brightwell have both been very active in school activities throughout their three years of high school. Linda was elected Miss Wildcat and is a mem- ber of the band. She was chosen for the Concert Choir and has played an important part in the Student Council as well. She is also on the Spyglass staff and has played hostess for the Nitro News program several times. Gary, as everyone knows is quite an athletic star. He made all KVC quarterback and has led the Wildcats to many a victory in other sports as well. He played a major role in showing the basketball team a good season. Gary knocked in many a run for Nitro offencively and defen- cively in the position of infielder showed us all how “Amer- ica’s favorite pastime,” baseball, should be played. 123 Adams, Rebecca Anderson, Jeff Anderson, Jennifer Anderson, Ingrid Atkins, Mark 124 Bailes, William Ash, Patty Ash, Verea Ashley, Tim Ashworth, Gary Friendliest: Peggy Parsons Scott Sadler Toney Horton Bailey, Clay Bailey, Mark Bailey, Mike Bailey, Polly Bair, Dodie Barry, Lisa Beane, Sally Bennett, Brenda Bennett, Tam i Boggess, Susan Beverley, Susan Boggess, Veronica Most Talented: Kathy Mattea Rex Nelson 125 Boggs, Mark Bonnet.

Over 1000 colleges and the Army have an educational plan called Project Ahead. It’s a way for your students to enlist in the Army and start their college education at the same time. Through Project Ahead, qualified stu- dents choose the participating school they’d like to graduate from before enlist- ing. Then no matter where they study while in the Army, they'll take courses taught by accredited colleges right on post, with the Army paying up to 75% of the tuition. After their enlistment’s over, they’ll be eligible for further financial assistance un- der the G.l. Bill. If you’re interested in finding out more about Project Ahead and other opportuni- ties in today’s Army, call me. Call Army Sgt. Jim Slaughter about Project Ahead. 346-9623 Join the people who’ve joined the Army. Nitro Auto Parts 2215 Hirst Avenue Nitro, W. Va. 25143 Phone 0 755-4339 Dunbar Auto Parts 423 16th St. Dunbar, W.

It is sad to think that we are the last of the Nitro students to enjoy her company. Mrs. Mills attended W. Va. State College and did her student teaching at Nitro under Mrs. Kersey. After her student teaching was completed, Mrs. Mills was immediately hired by Nitro High for the following school year. She began teaching in 1963 and was asked by David Lee, then president of the Student Council, to sponsor the council at Nitro. Mrs. Mills enjoys the Student Council because it gives her a chance to gain a better relationship with the students. She has a great pride in Nitro High School, as well as the student council. After retiring, Mrs. Mills plans to travel, take it easy, and catch up on her reading. Even though she won’t be at Nitro, she’s plan- ning to continue helping with the student council program on the state level. She is planning to direct the Student Council Workshop being held this summer at W. Va. Wesleyan College. From the students at Nitro. . . .We wish to thank Mrs. Catherine Mills for being our friend as well as our teacher. Mrs. Cathrine Mills 198 FMC Now what? Now that you have graduated you must answer the inevitable question—“now what?” For all of you it means the continuation of studies in one way or another, because learning must and will continue throughout your lives. In the years to come you may have no more report cards or ex- aminations, but everything you do will be judged realistically. Your preparation for every goal will be carefully watched, thoughtfully evaluated. Your courses have given you the tools for thought and judg- ment. They will serve you well, whatever the future has in store for you. Here at FMC we owe much of our progress to the adoption of new ideas, new improved methods and fresh approaches brought to us by young people like yourselves who never learned to stop learning. 199 FMC Corporation FIBER DIVISION INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL DIVISION NITRO, W.
