The team compiled a 9-3-1 record and came home with the championship of the newly formed District VI. Baseball got off to a late start due to the extension of basketball for tournament prac¬ tice; but once underway, the Falcons proved strong, and strengthened as the season pro¬ gressed. Billy Ye ate s, Buddy Mitchell, Leon Prater, and Jimmy Gregory handled the pitching chores for the F alcons in top-notch fashion. Harold McCall and Leon Prater compiled the highest batting averages, ranking fifth and sixth in the district. Don Wood and Jerry Mink served as team managers and Paul Clark assisted Coach Mathews. The Falcons of ' 65 did a fine job of playing our national sport. 108 District VI Champs Baseball BASEBALL SCORECARD OPPONENT WE THEY Saltville 2 1 Tennessee High 3 4 Holston 10 0 Tennessee High 4 5 Chilhowie 14 2 Virginia High 6 4 Holston 2 0 Virginia High 7 7 Patrick Henry 5 2 Rich Valley 7 1 John Battle 4 2 Rich Valley 1 0 Patrick Henry 1 2 Ray Castle -- Catcher 109 ROW 1: J.

The Mr. and Miss Abingdon High School contest was sponsored for tire first time this year by the Beacon Staff. A committee of teachers nominated six Senior boys and six Senior girls. From this group the student body elected Mr. and Miss Abingdon High School. For the past five years at A. H, S. , one boy has stood out on the football field, on the basketball court, in track, on the baseball field, in music, in forensics, and in clubs. He has displayed outstanding qualities of leadership working to accomplish all that is humanly possible for one school. He has become a symbol of the spirit and aims of Abingdon High School. Therefore it is fitting that James Gail Rut¬ ledge be the first Mr. Abingdon High School. Seldom in life does one meet a person with the character, personality, good sportsmanship, intellec¬ tuality, and popularity of this girl. She has been a friend and acquaintance of all the students at A. H. S. As a class and club leader, cheerleader, and editor, she has indeed reached up to the Sky. Therefore it is an honor and distinction to name Judith Anne Blevins the first Miss Abingdon High School.

The inventions of Thomas Edison have affected the lives of people every¬ where. They have created entire industries — ours, for example. Under America’s Free Enterprise system, inventive people like Edison can expect special compensations — profit, honor and satisfaction. The hope of attaining such rewards has been one of our nation’s greatest incentives to progress. It is a goal that prods imagi¬ native minds in their quests for new products and methods. Not everyone can be a Thomas Edison. However, every trained, dedicated graduate can anticipate a full measure of our society’s rewards. All it takes is a willingness to work harder and contribute more. PARKS BELK DEPARTMENT STORE Abingdon, Virginia Power Company 628-7401 An tnvtifor-Owntd Pubfic U I i I i f y ABINGDON DODGE, INC.
