All the classes busily worked on streamers and posters for the main hall. Students went wild at the Pep Rally, competing for the Spirit Trophy. It was a close decision, but the Seniors won first place. However, the football game against undefeated Chilhowie started in a state of gloom and despair. At halftime, fans looked on as Alice Morgan was crowned queen. The blue and white Senior Class float displaying the words of the school chant; Falcons Are Superstars , circled the field. Dur¬ ing the second half, the players ' spirits soared to a 20-19 edgeover victory. The bleachers, dotted with white mums, went wild as we knew we reigned once again as superstars. The annual Home¬ coming Dance gave the f ans a chance to catch their breath as couples en¬ joyed the music of Carousel. Home¬ coming, 1972, reflects smiles, vic¬ tory, and success.

White H orses and Hitchin Posts Sadie Hawkins Hillbilly moods were reflected by Ab¬ ingdon High students at the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. Blue jeans, straw hats, corn, and haybales presented an ap¬ propriate atmosphere for all the L ' l Abners and Daisy Maes attending. Most of the couples enjoyed posing on the white wooden horse for pictures or being hitched at the Hitchin ' Post. The event was especially different because girls asked guys. Also there were no for¬ mats to buy or corsages to wear. Every¬ one dressed as they wished as they danced to the music of Shadrack. 14 Christmas Royalty Crowned at Dance Christmas Dance Mistletoe, streamers, and Christ¬ mas lights were among the decorations at the annual Christmas Dance. Mem¬ bers of the Interact Club worked dili¬ gently decorating for the event. Velvet dresses, loud music, and a gigantic tree helped to reflect the holiday spirit of the students attending. Couples danced to the music of J. Gardner Steele in the romantic candle-lit atmosphere. Highlighting the dance was the announce¬ ment of Snow King and Queen. Danny Wilson a sophomore, and Donna Casteel a freshman, received the honors. Dreams of Christmas and the happy Yuletide season captured couples’ moods as they danced through the evening.

The chant was heard in the halls, in the cafeteria, and on buses. But it was really loud during pep rallies as spirit¬ ed students echoed the words through the gym. The pep rallies were held during both football and basketball sea¬ sons. They gave Falcon fans the chance to voice their support for the team. The cheerleaders worked hard making signs and preparing skits honoring individual team members. ABOVE LEFT: The senior class imitation of a Chil- howie Warrior takes his stand behind the microphone.

More juniors were tapped into the National Honor Society during the annual tapping ceremony.

The Falcons proved to be Superstars from the very beginning. After defeating Gate City in the first game, the spirit of the team, student body, and people of Abingdon soared. Afternoon practices proved to pay off as the team charged on to five more victories. Fight¬ ing through lightening, and a muddy field, they tied one of their biggest rivals; Battle High. Two senior members, George Pope and Milton Ross, were named to All-South¬ west District. The coaching staff consisting of Karl Reedy, Fred Selfe, Bob Buchanan, and Berkley Clear worked hard guiding the team into putting forth the best ever! Head coach, Larry Bales, ended his first season with the Falcons, at 6-2-2- record. We were behind you Big Blue!

JV Spirit Continues Through Season The spirit of the Junior Varsity foot¬ ball team could not be defeated, even thou£ most of the games ended without a victor¬ ious score. The up-coming varsity men” lost their first game to Holston High. Many other defeats continued, but still the team charged on, participating with the best skill possible. Under the direc¬ tion of head coach, Karl Reedy, time and time again, the Junior Varsity players showed team cooperation by always doing their best and not letting disappointments interfere. With each defeat, the team seemed to grow more determined. They came back at the end of the season to win their last game against Marion, 14-12. The undying glow of the team ' s flame proved that Falcon power can be true to the end. 39 J.V. SCOREBOARD AHS OPPONENT 0 Holston 6 14 Patrick Henry 42 0 R.B. Worthy 12 0 Va.

Eighth Grade Team Never Gives up Spurred with ambition and good intentions the eighth grade football players refused to give up as they battled toward victory. Their first game against Holston High ended 28-2 in favor of the ’baby Falcons. The players faced their next games with pride, but somehow they were defeated in all of them. Nevertheless, they prac¬ ticed hard; they worked diligently together as a team; they scored in most all the games. Head Coach Rutledge kept the boys out there doing their best. Falcon power motivated the youngest players to get up and go again. And again and a- gain, they soared, hoping this game would break the vicious losing streak. But the losing streak was never broken. Our eighth grade players realized that they had a few years left at Abingdon High. So long as the Falcon pride glows, the future has to hold many exciting victories for the youngest football players. 41 v $ KGD0£ $ HGD0j ihgb HGD0,v •9, HGDo A UGDflf mHGDo waiHGa ABOVE: FIRST ROW: Charlton Duty, Barry Matheson, Gale Thompson, George Pope, Clyde Belcher.

His swift precision and the smooth arc of the basketball were the telling characteristics” as the ball ripped the cords. And so, basketball season came once again for the Falcons. George Pope, Jerry Stewart, Dan Richards, Mark Matheson, and Gale Thompson led the way; as Abingdon whipped up the first five victories. The first game against Gate City proved to be tough, as the Falcons lost 39-61. However, they came back later in the season, slapping Gate City, 62-48. The Falcon team practiced dili¬ gently, and with excited determination, won 13 of their 20 games. Even after losing the Washington County Tournament by only one point, the players never gave up. George Pope was chosen for the All Southwest District Team. The pride and spirit which makes up every true Falcon glowed throughout the season. 43 TOP LEFT: Charlton Duty arcs the ball toward the basket.

Team Exhibits Successful Year The Junior Varsity Basketball Team had a terrific season this year, winning thirteen of their twenty games. Their coach, Gail Rutledge, knew the capabili¬ ties of his men and put them to it. This year’s Junior Varsity squad reflected what we should expect from our men in the upcoming future. After losing three of their first six games the Junior Varsity squad came back to win their next five games. Being the striving team known to all Abingdon, they won with skill, spirit and determination. The squad won and lost some games by a very small margin, but their skilled defensive and offensive playing established pride for basketball fans. 45 ABOVE: Mrs. Southerlin, a faculty member, anxiously watches a Junior Varsity game.

Ninth Grade Team Profits From Year Even through defeat the Falcon pride glowed as the Ninth Grade Basketball Team proved that they also had that certain something that is known to all Falcon players. These players learned skills during their first year as a Fal¬ con, but they used this year to acquire even more advanced playing techniques. The ninth grade team gave fans a tense moment during their first game after winning by only a point. Even though most of their games ended in defeat, the players practiced and worked hard in preparation for future years. 47 jsot f . % J J j -wr j i §H t O i 1973 8th GRADE SCOREBOARD AHS OPPC 28 John Battle 30 29 Va.

The youngest basketball team at Abingdon High showed fans what to look forward to in the future years. After winning only one game of their first four, they came back hard and fast to win ten of their last twelve games. The Eighth Grade Team proved working to¬ gether paid off. Coach Reedy inspired team co-operation and spirit. His hours of work and practice with the team, gave the Baby Falcons” a winning season. 48 ABOVE: FIRST ROW: David Kitch, John Jenkins, SECOND ROW: Dean Murray, John Arrington, THIRD ROW: John Sheffey, Rodney Wagner, Joey Johnson, Robert Dicks, Andrew Hounshell, Mike Gotham.

Inexperienced Men Gain Needed Skills The Junior Varsity track team con¬ sisted of twenty-five unexperienced but spirited men competing with other schools. There were only four regular meets this year, but the experience they contributed added to the skills of the participants. Some of the Junior Varsity men practiced additional skills as they took part in numerous varsity meets. The young Falcons competed against Patrick Henry High, Marion, John Battle, and Holston High. Even though they worked hard, they were de¬ feated in all four. Coach Rutledge en¬ couraged his men to put forth their best and always keep the Falcon spirit! 55 1973 SCOREBOARD Abingdon, Patrick Henry, Marion 55 5 59 42 Battle, Holston 64 21 Abingdon, 59 Abingdon, 47i Battle, 66 Abingdon, Marion, Holston 57 60 42 Patrick Henry, Holston 12 2l Patrick Henry, Marion 58 52 ABOVE: Mark DeBush hurls the shot-put hoping for a win¬ ning distance.

The varsity base¬ ball team practiced every afternoon when they didn ' t have a game. When it wasn ' t raining, the whole team practiced; but if it was raining, the players spent practice time in the gym. Coaches Jerry Bishop and Bob Buchanan were proud of perfor¬ mances of the team during a game.

Baseball Team Keeps Improving The Junior Varsity baseball team began the season with a victory over Battle High. The Falcons lost the sec¬ ond game against them by a wide mar gin; however, they came back to win the next two games against Castlewood and Virginia High. Coach Karl Reedy practiced with the team, and urged them to put forth their best skills. The eighteen members of the team worked hard and tried to improve their next three games. They won another game before the season ended. At the closing of the baseball season, the team had a 4-9 win-lose record. The newly ac¬ quired skills of the young players and the experience they gained would enable them to perform for the Falcon teams in the future. 60 ABOVE: John Crigger stoops low to catch a ground ball.

First Tennis Team Gains Experience Tennis Tennis matches began at Abingdon High for the first time this year, and the players put forth the determination known to all Falcons. Coach Mike Leth- coe worked with thirteen participants before choosing the seven starters; Greg Owens, Jim Bowden, Ray Chit¬ wood, John Arrington, Dave Kitch, Keith Peters, and Wayne Holliday. Practice sessions were often interrupt¬ ed by rain and snow, and the players had to compete against more experi¬ enced teams. But this still didn ' t let the Falcon spirit be defeated. They began the season with two matches against Tennessee High. Next they went up against Lynn View High, and ended the season with two matches against Pat¬ rick Henry. Unfortunately, the Falcon net-men were defeated in all their matches, but they gained valuable ex¬ perience which would be necessary in 62 future years. 1973 SCOREBOARD AHS 0 Tenn. High 0 Tenn.

The golf team had, in addition to the new coach, Larry Bales, their first girl participant. Teresa Cunningham really proved to be talented. A few players from former years including Buster Janson, Rick Ornduff, and Don Holts in ger returned to play. But with only three experienced players, the team had a tough time. However, they performed beautifully in the Washington County Tournament and finished second. Coach Bales held reg¬ ular practice sessions at Glenrochie Country Club, even though bad weather hindered the team frequently. The Fal¬ con golfers always put their best foot forward after die best swing possible. Eleven men golfers and one girl worked diligently for themselves, the enjoy¬ ment of the sport, and especially for the school. 64 1973 SCOREBOARD AHS OPPONENT W Castlewood L L Saltville W W Chilhowie L W Patrick Henry L W Castlewood L W Holston L L John Battle W L Marion W L Saltville W W Chilhowie L W Patrick Henry L L Va.

Mrs. Shaffer and Miss Wallace coached the Girl’s Track Team. Unlike the other girls sports, the women track mem¬ bers participated in competition with other schools, including John Battle High, Patrick Henry High, Holston, Central, and Church Hill. The girls never let their spirit die, but were de¬ feated in all their meets. They prac¬ ticed with determination and spirit as they ran dashes, jumped hurdles, and pole-vaulted.

Members Sp onsor Overseas Orphan Interact Club Opportunities for young men to work together in a world fellowship is what the Interact Club is all about. It is dedicated to service and international understanding. This year the club sponsored an overseas orphan and members helped in the March of Dimes Campaign in Washington County. Additional service to the school was pro¬ vided by selling football programs, serv¬ ing refreshments at a faculty meeting, awarding a Senior Interact Member Schol¬ arship, and presenting the Best Teacher of the Year Award. Sponsoring the Christmas Dance, Interact-Faculty Bas¬ ketball and Softball Games, and entering a float in the Burley Tobacco Festival Parade were the major money-making projects. Many Interact members were guests at numerous Rotary Club dinners. In preparing for the visiting evaluation committee, the Interact Club worked cleaning the school grounds.

Club Sponsors Library Week J Library Club Creating a greater interest among the students through the use of books was one of the main projects of the Library Club. The club worked to im¬ prove library service in the school and to stimulate reading interest. A paper¬ back book fair was sponsored providing a chance for students to order their own books. Members of the club worked as library assistants during their study halls, before, and after school. A faculty tea and poster contest were held to emphasize Library Week. Buying gifts for a needy family and sending Christmas cards to service men in Vietnam were among the club ' s projects. 92 Egg T oss Provides Enjoyment at AHS Talon Staff Editing and publishing a school news¬ paper were the main projects of the Talon staff. The staff functioned as a social club and participated in many school and com¬ munity activities. There were a few new adjustments made with the arrival of a new sponsor, Mrs. Bostic. The staff pub¬ lished four editions of THE TALON during the year. An egg toss was sponsored by the newspaper staff following the bonfire during Spirit Week to help encourage school spirit. Several bake sales were among the money-making projects of the staff. There was much learning and several adjustments to make for this year ' s staff. Much hard work and diligence were put into the production of each school newspaper. During the year, the Talon Staff learned how important and impressive the news¬ paper really is in our school.

In order to raise funds, the staff sponsored a Teacher Talent Show and a Parcel Post Celebrity Auction. The talent show was the first of that kind held at the school; the auc¬ tion provided valuable gifts from such famous celebrities as Richard Burton, Richard Nixon, and the late Lyndon John¬ son. Both activities brought in generous funds. Not all the time was spent in raising money; however, as any Beacon staff member knew, hard work on meet¬ ing deadines, photography, and planning circulation drives, kept them working diligently. r IIP m S! m 1 i 1 hi i y ■ n -1 I nS§I : yljSk 1, ||l| |§K A } 1 UPPER RIGHT: French Moore and John Cornelius, Beacon photographers, decide on prospects for a picture.

Basic newspaper lay-outs were taught by the Journalism class, while acting and creative writing were involved in Speech and Drama. There was more to English than just grammar and sentence structure. Students became involved in literature projects, Shakespearean dramas, poetry, and book reports. Seniors wrote the long anticipated term papers, and became involved with creative writing. Films and guest speakers encouraged student participation. TOP RIGHT: Larry Wilson memorizes poetry for English presentations.

Reading TIME MAGAZINE was a regular feature for the World Affairs class. Planning weddings and learning about other aspects of life were all part of Coach Bishop ' s sociology class. Skits for Geography classes were some of the special projects. Exciting films, speakers and term papers were all part of the world of United States History.

Students also learned much about angles, theorems, and decimals. In addition to eighth and ninth grade basic math. Algebra I and II, Geometiy, College Math, and Trigonometry classes were offered. Analysis was introduced as a new math course this year. Some Analysis mem¬ bers competed in a math test at Rad¬ ford, Virginia. 106 TOP LEFT: Roy Crusenberry solves Math 9 problems for class members.

Enrollment Increases in Science Classes Science Progress was noted in the science department this year, as more students than ever were enrolled i n science classes. The eighth graders studied Introductory Physical Science, while upper classmen worked on Earth Science and Biology. Ecology was a new and in¬ teresting subject many students pursued. More advanced students studied Chem¬ istry and Physics. Numerous Abingdon students prepared science projects for a Regional Fair held at Clinch Valley College. 107 Foreign Projects Arouse Interest Foreign Language Dreams of a far away land invaded the imagination of foreign language students. In addition to just learning the basic nouns and verbs, students saw interesting films, worked on pro¬ jects and reports, and constructed bulletin boards and posters. Mrs. Moore’s French II classes presented occasional skits, and the advanced French classes read a complete book in the French language. They prepared speeches and constructed posters relating to their chosen vocation. Stu¬ dents enrolled in Miss Watson ' s Latin classes worked on projects relating to ancient Rome. Athenic coliseums, aqueducts, and Roman columns were molded with clay, sugar cubes, and other materials. Dr. Castellanos’ Spanish classes also constructed inter¬ esting bulletin boards.

Skills ranging from doing a birds ' nest on the flying rings to vaulting on the gymnastic horse were developed by many eager students. Volleyball, ping-pong, badminton, bas¬ ketball, archery, and softball were among games the classes enjoyed. Health classes provided interesting learning situations for P. E. students on days they did not dress out. Eighth graders studied basic health, freshmen practiced handy first-aid techniques, and sopho¬ mores prepared for Driver ' s Training.

Ill Learning to Do Doing to Learn Horticulture Vocational Agriculture, Horticulture and Shop were options which were now open to male and female students alike. Students became aquainted with the many fields of agriculture-business, such as greenhouse operation, plant propagation, metalwork, and welding. One could develop skills in flower arranging, woodworking or electrical wiring. Many agriculture students worked throughout the year on such projects as small engine repair, body work on a car or truck, farm ma¬ chinery repairs and sometimes even building a trailer. Members of the shop classes were steadily working on all varieties of woodworking. From using the jigsaw to the final staining and varnishing of the wood, students were actually mak¬ ing items they could take home and use. The horticulture enthusiast studied the many tedious steps in raising successful gardens. Starting with seeds, they observ¬ ed the seedlings grow to be blossoming or fruit bearing plants, many of which were taken home to be transplanted into the students’ gardens. Possibly this is why we have hear them say, we learn to do as we do to learn. TOP: Rose Osborne takes time in class to weed out the unhealthy plants so the others will have room to grow.

Foreign Recipes Inspire Students Home Economics Parents tell their daughters to take home economics because, every girl should know how to cook and sew. However, as girls learned this year, home economics meant that and much more. First and second year girls were intent on learning the basic fundamentals of clothing construction and nutrition. Third year students went into specialized areas, such as needle¬ point, making desserts and home nurs¬ ing, while fourth year students extended their knowledge of home economics by seeking to insure perfection in what they had already learned and increasing their ability with foreign cooking, tail¬ oring and interior decorating.

Occupational Retreat Encourages Students Technical School To break the monotony of the routine days, some of the students have been going to the Technical School. While they still found the atmosphere of school, they have learned one of many trades offered and their place in the world of business. They were able to take classes in such areas as auto mechanics, prac¬ tical nursing, cosmetology, masonry, home economics and business courses. While learning an exciting trade students still had fun. TOP RIGHT: Buster Singleton uses his welding abil¬ ity for class project. ABOVE: Students work with ozone torch to trim metal down to size.

Free Period Offers Chance to Relax Study Hall Everyone sit down and be quiet! This is one of the regular comments one hears while in study hall. This period is used for driver ' s training, visits to the li¬ brary, making up tests, and doing extra work. Lucky seniors have their own pri¬ vate study where they are able to enjoy some of the special privileges. 120 Craft Projects Gain Enthusiasm Art Mrs. Blevins and her creative mind have been experimenting again! She taught the classes to hook rugs and em¬ broider as well as to draw, paint, and carve. The students have learned to do many relaxing and creative things. Some of them enjoyed knitting and the arts of working with their hands and yarns while others still enjoyed the aspects of work¬ ing with various paints. Many of the drawings were on display in the hall near the art room. TOP: Some students enrolled in Art classes made sculptures from clay. BOTTOM LEFT: Diane Price learned the ancient art of crocheting.

The affirmative team, consisting of Tommy Arnold and Kit Grantham, won 3 out of 4 debates and helped to give the team the title of district champs . It was their opinion that federal funding was the answer to major problems in education . The negative team composed of Anne Siron- ko and Leah Fleenor, argued that too much federal spending would give the federal government too much control. The debate team traveled to different schools, including Lord Botetourt High in Fincastle, Virginia, for the purpose of debating with other students. UPPER RIGHT: Leah Fleenor and Anne Sironko check recent articles from various magazines to support topic.

Their goal is to promote the understanding and appreciation for the responsibliities of the enterprise sys¬ tem. Mr. Ken Epling and Mr. John Elliott teach such things as sales tech¬ niques, display, sales demonstrations and interviews in the morning and after¬ noon classes. During the course of the year, students take a job in or around Abingdon to put to use the techniques they have learned. UPPER RIGHT: Kathy Fugate works as a cashier at the Minute-Ette Food Market.

The band performed for numerous parades, concerts, and festivals. They participated at an Emory and Henry football game, and always placed num¬ ber one in every competition. In an effort to develop an even bigger and better band, a new flag corps was added. Eight girls made up the red, white, and blue squad. The marching band ' s spring trip to Six Flags over Georgia” proved to not only be one of pleasure, but gave senior band mem¬ bers a new sense of inspiration. The majorettes performed with the march¬ ing band during football games, and in parades and band festivals. The in¬ termediate band is made up of mem¬ bers from the eighth and ninth grades. This year they participated in the Christmas concert, Spring concert, Burley Tobacco Festival parade, and received a one rating in district band competition.

Perhaps the most promin¬ ent change was the addition of the new princi¬ pal, Mr. Aubrey Brown. Although, it was only his first year at our school, Mr. Brown ac¬ cepted his demanding responsibilities with pride. Portraying wise leadership skills, he supervised the school well. He worked closely with members of the school board and school patrons. Evaluation teams demanded a great amount of his time, as he led the total school in preparing for evaluation week. He also worked as an evaluation committee member, visiting other schools. Mr. Brown never fail¬ ed to offer his congratulations to a deserving student or teacher.

Many faculty members visited other schools, working as members of an eval¬ uation team. Grading papers, lecturing classes, and attending early morning meet¬ ings were routines of the average teacher. Still, time was found for entertaining events. The women faculty beat the Civinettes in an exciting powder-puff ' football game. They also won over the Girl ' s All-Star Basketball Team. The men faculty won their basket¬ ball game with the Interact Club in a hard fought game before the student body. Stu¬ dents saw teachers in a different situation , as they participated in the Teacher Talent Show; singing, playing musical instruments, and twirling batons.

Eighth Graders Experience Change Hey, what happens if we’re late for class? Do you think the teachers will care? Our first year at A. H.S. brought many strange, but interesting adjust¬ ments. One of the biggest was learning to get to our next class in the allotted time. We were wary of gym classes with exercises and showering, but we learned that physical education was a great part of our day. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers. This was the beginning of our long ad¬ venture through high school. We real¬ ized that we were the future leaders of our school. This year at A. H.S. was a very impressionable one, and was the first of five great years at our school.

In first-aid we learned to handle any emergency situation, or at least tried to. Some students took Math 9, while others struggled through a year of geometry. A special few were allowed to join the Senior Band; others were in the Intermediate Band. Many of us have begun to find new romances and have taken a noticeable interest in dances and other school activities. Because of our high school status, a greater majority of our class members have taken part in sports and clubs. We have all realized we must work together to climax our long climb to the top as the Class of 76. Freshman Class Officers: V. Pres. , Pam Rush, Pres. , Sandy Snead Treas.

For the Class of ' 75, this year was a busy and eventful one. Many of us earned the privilege and responsi¬ bility of a driver’s license, while others had to be satisfied with driver’s training. One new experience is that of biology. Dissecting proves to be very interesting and very unusual. We have worked hard together as a class and have advanced to the current soph¬ omore class. One class project was decorating our section of the halls for Spirit Week during football season. We are all extremely pleased with our successes at A.H.S. and have dis¬ covered there is a real art to accepting the challenge of high school life.

This year was a very busy one for all of us. We were kept on our toes sell¬ ing magazine subscriptions, candy, and having bake sales. The class worked dili¬ gently in order to sponsor an entertaining Junior-Senior Prom. Still, we showed up for our daily classes which included U.S. history, American literature, and for many of us, chemistry and Algebra II. And this year for the first time since attending Abingdon High, there was no dressing out for gym classes. Ordering class rings and decorating the hall for spirit week provided additional enjoyment. We, the Class of 1974, worked, planned, and progressed toward greater goals and reflected our past years with enjoyment.

We sponsored the mid-February visit of the Bloodmobile. Our display of Falcon spirit and pride won for us the first annual School Spirit Plaque. Along with these and other projects, our classes included government, physics, speech, and college math; others chose electives from different fields.

Norley Torres, who made her home with Robin Riddle ' s family, found life to be very different and ex¬ citing in Abingdon. Her favorite foods were hamburgers, french fries, and milkshakes. Norley had many new experiences in the United States. For the first time, she ate in a cafeteria and saw a rainstorm and saw snow. She loves to dance but our sports are still rather confusing to her. Although Norley only spent one year with us, she has made a lasting contribution to our school and life. UPPER LEFT: Norley enjoys lunch with other sen¬ iors.

I would like to rest and be relieved of decision and protect¬ ed against uncertainty. Yet, I belong in the world in which I can best serve. This was one of many inspiring lines from the Senior Class play. The Curious Savage contrasted inmates in a mental asylum to people in the insane outside world. Weeks of rehearsal and work on stage props and costumes contributed to making the production a success. The humor- our yet very meaningful play proved to be one of the best ever presented at Abingdon High. 186 TOP LEFT: Mrs. Savage refuses to give in to her daughter ' s demands.

During the program many seniors were presented awards, our foreign exchange student received her class ring, and some senior class members displayed special talents.

For many, enchantment came with the romantic theme Love Story . Excitement came with the apprehension of a beautiful, ruffled dress ... a daz¬ zling corsage . . . lots of loud music . . . an elegant tuxedo . .. romantic dancing. But all the enchantment and excitement was made possible by the Junior class, who worked very hard sponsoring this year ' s prom. The annual event was held at Abingdon Elementary School and was open to all juniors and seniors and their dates. A popular band, Shadrack, provided music. For seniors the dance was really special because it was their last to enjoy while attending high school.

Seniors Reminisce Over Cl ass Historv Senior Banquet Good food, a friendly atmosphere, and much fun and laughter was the setting for the Senior Banquet. It was given for the seniors at Greenway Haven Party House by the Abingdon P. T. A. The class history was read and many toasts were proposed by some members of the class. As a personal reminder of the event, each guest received a glass reading Senior Banquet A. H.S. 1973. 193 Active, School Spirited Seniors Honored Mr. and Miss A. H.S. Chosen as Mr. and Miss A. H.S. for 1972-73 were Dan Richards and Alice Morgan. One selected for this honor has shown an interest toward, and participated in numerous school activities. Dan participated in foot¬ ball, basketball, track, and baseball. He was freshman class vice-president and served as both vice-president and president of the Key Club. He partici¬ pated in the One-Act play and Senior Class play. Alice took an active part in many clubs and organizations including the S. C. A., National Honor Society, Flame Tri-Hi-Y, Jr. Science Club, F.T. A. , and the Civinette Club. She was eighth grade class vice-president and served on both the Jr. Varsity and Varsity cheeHeading squads. She received the N. C.A. Cheerleading award and was elected class treasurer her senior year. Alice participated in the Senior Class play and reigned as Key Club Sweetheart and Homecoming Queen. 194 Senior Sponsors Direct Rehearsal Graduation Practice makes perfect . Seniors realized this more and more as they diligently rehearsed for commencement ceremonies. Mrs. Woolwine worked, instructing them on the correct proced¬ ure for going to the stage and reminded them not to chew gum. After only a few attempts, class members were con¬ fident of promptly finding their places in line and marching with their partner while members of the band played the traditional Pomp and Circumstance.

The flurry of putting on caps and gowns and arrang¬ ing tassels and gold cords soon passed, and the graduates sadly took their seats for the last time at Abingdon High. After listening to the valedictorians ' and the salutatorian ' s speeches and receiving diplomas, the seniors marched trium- phally away, having accomplished a proud goal. Words from the class fare¬ well were reflected in many of their thoughts . . . Good-bye, A.H.S., please don ' t forget us for we each have a special place for you in our hearts that will never let us forget you ... Indeed, graduation left behind many good times and cherished memories, but it also provided a new beginning for the Class of 1973. 197 NANCY JUNE ALTIZER: S.C.A. Homeroom Representative, S.C.A.
