SILENCE, BARTLETT'S FAMOUS QUOTATIONS mSk • A Time to Remember Individuals People who need people constitute Abingdon High School. Administration, faculty, custodians, cafeteria staff, student teachers, substitute teachers, bus drivers, students --all of these people work to make Abingdon High School what it is today. In the fifteen years of the exis¬ tence of Abingdon High School, individuals have contri¬ buted in a unique way to create a time to remember. 1. Beula Price introduces acts during the teacher talent show. 2. Mr. Reedy says Pet Milk makes me happy, while Mrs. Reedy tries some. 3. Abingdon fans anxiously watch a football game. 4. Mrs. Jane Moore sings a song during the teacher talent show. 5. Grandpa Rutledge and Grand¬ ma Wallace entertain themselves during the teacher talent show. Faculty Editor: Lynne Morefield Class Editor: Debbie Bare 1 Veteran Educator Retires With Honors One of the most difficult jobs found anywhere is definitely that of county school superintendent. However, for the last twenty years in Washington County, we have been fortunate to have one of the most dedicated men in the profession. Dr. E.B. Stanley retired with honors after serving tirelessly in what he termed a rewarding experi¬ ence . He held many positions of honor in educational organizations, and was active in his church and community. Dr. Stanley was honored by his as¬ sociates in the educational field with a reception at Martha Washington Inn. Although replaced by a very able man. Dr. Stanley has left his permanent influence on Washington County. 1. Dr. E. B. Stanley, Superintendent of Washington County Schools. 2. Dr. Stanley presents the 1972 Wash¬ ington County trophy. 3. Dr. Stanley and Dave Sparks talk before a basketball game. 10 Dr. B. G. Raines — New Superintendent The School Board operated under new leadership when Dr. B. G. Raines became Acting Superintendent of Wash¬ ington County Schools in January. Dr. Raines had recently finished compiling a detailed policy manual of the state education requirements as applicable to Washington County while he was As¬ sistant Superintendent. As representa¬ tives of the districts in which students of the Washington County School system live, the School Board was the common link between all the schools. Meetings of all high school principals with the School Board were held to allow the schools to voice specific problems and needs. As the governing body of Wash¬ ington County Schools, the School Board supervised policies, appropriations, and personnel guidelines which, directly or indirectly, affected faculty and stu¬ dents. 1.

Principals Give Guidance at A.H.S. Two familiar faces at A. H. S. were those of the school's leaders: Mr. Aubrey Brown, principal, and Mr. V. T. Rector, assistant principal. Not only did Mr. Brown supervise the school as a whole, but he always showed a friendly willing¬ ness to deal with students and teachers on an individual basis. The intercom of¬ ten boasted Mr. Brown warmly com¬ mending an individual’s accomplishment. The responsibilities of Mr. Rector con¬ cerning the maintenance of buildings and grounds, textbook rental, student traffic control, and scholastic curriculum, were managed with competent leadership and reputable dedication. The student body and faculty responded to the school’s principals with a respectful admiration due leaders of such loyal and inexhaustible devotion. Mr. Rector and Mr. Brown pause a moment in the hall. 12 Secretaries Aid Students, Faculty Mrs. Shirley Landreth, school trea¬ surer and bookkeeper for all clubs and classes, efficiently served as Mr. Brown's secretary in all administrative matters. Mrs. Peggy Hughes, a new face in the main office, was always busy attending to countless business matters including student insurance and bus driver reports, but never too busy to greet students and teachers with a smile. Mrs. Euva Sutherland and Mrs. Barbara Lucy were in close contact with the students in the attendance office, issuing absentee and tardy excuses. 1. Mrs. Lucy and Mrs. Sutherland prepare attend¬ ance reports. 2. Mrs. Hughes types a bus driver re¬ port during a busy day. 3. Mrs. Landreth goes through the school's financial matters. 13 Faculty Offers a Variety of Courses and Activities English Mrs Jane Ann Church Mrs. Sandra Jonas Mrs. Georgia Moore Mrs. Beth Pless Mrs. Charlotte Reedy Mrs. June Roberts Mr. Gail Rutledge Mrs. Jean Shelton Mr. Pat Smith Mrs. Doris Southerlin Mrs. Joan Sutherland Mrs. Lena Woolwine 14 Physical Education Mr. Larry Bales Mr. Jerry Bishop Mr. James Fletcher Mr. James Gregory Mrs. Jean Matheson Miss Judy Wallace Mrs. Jane Moore sings a well-known French song in the teacher talent show. 15 Faculty Forms Car Pools During Crisis Many things never mentioned before have happened this year to the faculty. The male faculty in keeping with tradition, engaged in wagers concerning the pr o¬ gress of their newly-grown mustaches. During third period one day, two teachers were found viciously stuffing trash into another teacher’s box, while a male teacher was listed on the roster of Miss Washington County contestants. At fac¬ ulty meetings the men never sat with the women --never. So, teachers are more like students than either might permit themselves to think!

Mrs. Wilma Lineberry Mr. Danny Jessee Mr. Tommy McConnell 18 Faculty The selection of appropriate courses at Abingdon High School provoked thought and de¬ cision. Our faculty was competent and highly qualified for each position at Abingdon High School. For example, teachers were involved in courses from eighth grade level math to college math, and from earth science to phys¬ ics. In addition to performing their assigned duties, teachers also offered their understand¬ ing and friendship. Unknown to many students, teachers performed outside duties that related to school -chaperoned dances, sold tickets at ball games, and rode buses to school -spon¬ sored activities. Like all people, teachers had good days and bad, but time spent at Abingdon High School will be a time to remember.

H.S. be without its teachers? Thank goodness that this question did not have to be answered. A. H.S. began the year with an enthu¬ siastic faculty, dedicated to their pro¬ fession, trained for their various field, yet concerned with all phases of school. They exhibited heartfelt interest in the individual needs of their students, dis¬ playing at all times the many fine qual¬ ities necessary to make the best teach¬ ers possible.

Jv j ,Y Seniors Come to Time to Prepare New Goals We found a beginning five years ago when the doors of A. H.S. were opened to us. We took more pride in our school as one year built upon another. We strove for one goal --to be grad¬ uates of A. H.S. We felt small during this time of preparing to go our individual ways. When we ordered our caps and gowns, we became more aware than ever be- before that we, the Class of ’74, had reached our goal of five years. It was time to make our new goals, our own new begin¬ ning. Senior Class Officers: Sally Pinkerton, Chap., Eddie Bowen, V.

Titles Sally Lou Smith Miss Abingdon High School for 1974 was Sally Smith. Sally has participated in many activities during her school years. She earned a position on the ]. V. cheer¬ leading squad, while also keeping the statistics for varsity basketball games. She later made the varsity cheerleading squad. Sally has served as ninth grade vice president and was elected Interact sweetheart. This year she was chosen Homecoming Queen, May Queen, and served as senior class secretary. Sally has made many contributions to Abingdon High, and has been an inspiration to her classmates and peers. Jeffrey Gale Thompson Mr. Abingdon High School for 1974 was Gale Thompson. After transfering from Battle, Gale became active in ath¬ letics at Abingdon. He played varsity foot¬ ball and was the only sophomore on the varsity basketball team. He also ran track, setting a new school record in the two mile run. This year, Gale has par¬ ticipated in the newly -formed cross country team, varsity basketball, and varsity track. He again set a new district record in the two-mile run. A modest, almost shy individual, a persevering stu¬ dent, and an outstanding athlete. Gale was a favorite among his classmates and teachers.

It was a world of sharing lock¬ ers, meeting six new teachers, and not-so-easily getting to classes on time. It was a world of discovery - bigger ideas, new responsibilities, added priv¬ ileges, (and the opposite sex). It was a world of learning new ways to think, to act, and to change. It was a world of finding our answers - through books, friends, and experiences. It was a world of both work and fun - there were pep rallies, ball games, and dances. It was a world of anticipation and fulfilled dreams. It was a world we created for ourselves and a world we will always remember as the first of five promising years at A. H. S.

Totempole Returning to A. H. S. is very different from walking in for the first time. Not on¬ ly that, we found ourselves with a name this year - freshman, not just ninth grade. The year was one of many new experi¬ ences, and much intellectual growth as well as social growth. Medical self-help came to the rescue of those of us who are still rather clumsy. It was great being able to look down on somebody after last year. But what it was like to be at the bot¬ tom of the A.H.S. totempole. Yes, A.H.S. has a totempole of many different faces. We’re working our way up- -to the top in '77! Freshman Class Officers: Tom Derting, Treas., Kelvin Medley, Rep., Debbie McCroskey, Sec., Denny Farmer, Pres., Rob Campany, V. Pres.

Being the in-betweeners this year meant one of two things --at mid-term we were either half finished with our high school days, or half begun. We still ran from the juniors and seniors, but we kept the eighth and ninth graders on their toes! We en¬ joyed our last year of being physically fit and our first whiffs of formaldehyde in biology. Athletics played a bigger part in our lives than ever before. We enjoyed the year because it brought us closer to¬ gether in many ways --as the Spirited Class of ’76.

We found our¬ selves swamped with tootsie rolls and Reese cups, as we worked for a better prom than ever before. Our brains were filled with important dates in U. S. His¬ tory and our pencils became dull solving algebraic equations. From a normal schoolday to a Roman Holiday our junior year was a time to remember. Junior Class Officers: Melanie Harris, V.

Honor Society Taps Deserving Juniors Aquamarine, white spinel, white gold --this year we were faced with the difficult decision of choosing a class ring. It was an important day to us; it repre¬ sented eleven years of hard work. This year, we were rewarded for our academic achievement. Early in spring, some members of our class were tapped into the National Honor Society. This meant we had excelled in scholarship, leader¬ ship, service, and character. Each activ¬ ity made our junior year special but we all eagerly anticipated our remaining year.

A.H.S. offered a great variety of sports. Girls were offered interscholastic sports in golf, tennis, track, basketball, and volleyball, but in¬ tramurals were also encouraged. Pride, achievement, recognition combined to make the year a time to remember. 1. Coach Buchanan watches the progress of a baseball game. 2. Gail Johnson grins as she outfoxes an oppo¬ nent with her dribbling. 3. Players and coaches pause for the national anthem. 4. Randy Cole makes his move against Gate City. 5. The wrestling team watches from the sideline. Sports Editor Cathy Lowe Determination Gives Successful Season The first kickoff, an action -filled game, the final seconds --all these were moments the Varsity football team had been waiting for. The team proved to themselves that all their determination had paid off, as the sea¬ son ended with a 6-4 record. Coaches Berkley Clear, Curtis Burkett, and Bob Buchanan directed the development of the team, while head coach Larry Bales super¬ vised the whole effort.

This was by far the best J. V. record since Abingdon has participated in the tough Southwest District. What made it espe¬ cially impressive was the remarkable fact that 22 of the 30 players were from the freshman class. After a slow start against Patrick Henry, the Little Blue came back the next week to revenge the loss. The Junior Falcons then remained undefeated throughout the season until meeting always powerful Gate City in the final game of the season. Under the able leadership of Coaches Karl Reedy, Gail Rutledge, and Mike Lethcoe, the Junior Falcons put in long hours of hard work and practice. A desire to win and Falcon pride made the season what it was. Determination to im¬ prove next year, as they move up to var¬ sity, gave us hope of great things to come.

They started their ambitious high school careers ready and willing to learn. Like all teams, they put in long hard hours of determined practice. Led by Eddie Ar¬ nold with 26 points for the season the eighth grade team went on to obtain a 3-3 season. Other leading scorers were Charlie Jordan with 6, Jeff McCray with 10, and Sam McKin¬ ney with 12. The team was fortunate to have the able leadership provided by Gail Rut¬ ledge. They will always remember their first season at A. H.S. with pride. A. H.

Basketball Team Led by Seniors The Varsity Basketball team moved forward this season with guiding influence of the Senior mem¬ bers of the team, Chitwood, Wright, Cole, Thompson, Belcher and Mathe¬ son. Although the scoreboard didn't al¬ ways show a victory, the team them¬ selves experienced their own personal moments of victory. For the first time in the school's history Abingdon was a member of the Big Six, thus giving them a berth in the tournament. Another first was the time change. Due to the energy crisis all games were played one -half hour later. Coaches Bishop and Buchanan gave th eir time and talent to inspire the team throughout the season. 83 1.

Under the capable coaching of Gail Rutledge, Curtis Burkett, and Berkley Clear, the Falcons soared to great success. Senior Gale Thompson led the team by breaking the school and district record in the two-mile run with a 9:53. 0 time. The track team ran in large meets such as the Radford Invita¬ tional the Abingdon Relays, and the first annual Big Six meet.

This was a familiar question asked among the golfers this year, with each golfer hoping to be able to say, I was low man for the Fal¬ cons. Coach Bales and the Abingdon golfers had a very successful season. They worked tirelessly to earn the title of Number-One in the Washington Coun¬ ty Tournament. Members of the Golf team include Don Holtsinger, Mark Seamon, Rick Ornduff, Teresa Cunning¬ ham, Steve Holbrook, Barry Matheson, Randy Cole, Karl Lorenz, and Kurt Lorenz. The golf course soon became the golfers second home as they worked at the course long hours and windy after¬ noons. But this made them proud of their team. 1.

The girls of Abingdon High School took another step forward this year in athletics. For the first time, the girls participated in tennis. Under the direction of Mrs. Jean Matheson, the girls worked long, hard hours. Even though they did not have a winning season, their matches taught them many lessons and provided them with many valuable experiences. Those girls putting their tennis skills to work were Gail Johnson, Tracey Sweet, Lynn Snyder, Sally Pinkerton, Linda Bartlett, Elaine Bradley, and Connie Martin. The best of luck goes to the girls' tennis team in the future. 1. Tracey Sweet anticipates the opponent's serve. 2.

Some days it seemed there was just too much to do, and everyone was kept very busy with homework, plus extracurricular activities. Teachers willing to help and students wanting to achieve high academic goals made 1974 a time to remember. 1. Chemistry is a fascinating and sometimes an exploding class. 2. A science class examines a flying saucer. 3. The band marches at halftime. 4. Cindy Harris marches in a parade. 5. David Price observes a chemistry experiment. 119 Students Display Athletic Abilities Physical Education All right! Count off! These im¬ mortal words will be remembered by many a student long after they have completed their physical education re¬ quirements. The varied program of¬ fered an opportunity for students to participate in many different kinds of athletics, from speedball to trampo¬ line. Eighth and ninth grade students learned practical health and first aid skills in the classroom, while tenth graders studied safe driving techniques and prepared to earn their drivers' licenses. 1.

Shakespeare Is Explored in Depth English can be fun! Many students found this to be true as they took the required course. Inventive teachers turned the chore of learning grammar into a pleasurable task by making such assignments as cre¬ ative writing or skits. For the first time, upperclassmen had the option of taking regular English or a course which covered the subject in more depth. Younger stu¬ dents studied basic grammar and punctua¬ tion, while older students concentrated on such things as American literature or Shakespearean drama, as well as term papers. 122 1. Pam Sexton and Judy Kestner perform a skit in Mrs. Roberts' English class. 2. Karl and Kurt Lorenz ex¬ amine a Shakespearean stage. 3. Michele Smeltzer puts the finishing touches on her original poster. 123 Mixing Enjoyment With Learning Foreign Language In the foreign language department, students became familiar not only with a language, but also with the culture and customs of the particular country in which the language is spoken. The languages of¬ fered were French, Spanish, and Latin. French students learned popular French songs and performed them, while Spanish students studied bullfighting and saw relat¬ ed slides. Latin students illustrated popular Latin phrases and put them up for display. This also improved their vocabu¬ lary. 1. Jennie Placak and Jeff Rasnick discuss an exercise in Spanish. 2. Sally Hill dramatizes a Spanish dialogue about a girl wearing false eyelashes for a job interview. 3. Debbie Peters reads a story in French about the future. 124 1.

Typing Develops Nimble Fingers Business Education Typing comes to mind when one thinks of business, but this was only one area of the business education courses offered at A.H.S. Students had an opportunity to learn practical office skills, such as fil¬ ing and bookkeeping. Many who were not going into business took shorthand or ty¬ ping for their own personal use. Typing was a very popular course, though many beginners had a hard time at first trying to coordinate their fingers. 125 Physics Students Become Film Stars Science Science was definitely one of the most interesting courses at A.H.S. In the various classes, students became familiar with the physical world. Eighth and ninth graders took general science courses, which prepared them for the more advanced biology, chemis¬ try, and physics classes. Biology stu¬ dents discovered that disection was not as bad as they had been led to believe. Those taking chemistry found it quite challenging, but enjoyed blowing up hydrogen-filled test tubes. Physics students took on the large project of making a video-tape on the life of Copernicus. 1. Herbie Ellis examines mirco-organisms through the miscroscope in biology. 2.

First year algebra students were given a good background in practical math, while advanced math students were introduced to calculus. Geometry and analysis students be¬ came familiar with many new concepts. Several students participated in various math contests and fared extremely well. 1. Mrs. Lineberry helps John Hannah to see the light on a problem in advanced math. 2. Susan Clark concentrates on her math homework. 3. Miss Deal checks Chad Bailey's homework in algebra class. 2 128 1. Darlene Smeltzer practices washing clothes as a home economics project. 2. Barbara Sullins shows the proper way to set a table. 3. Carrington Motley works diligently at completing her dress in sewing class. Practical Skills Put Into Practice Home Economics The home economics courses at A.H.S. covered all areas of study that one could wish for. First year students learned the relatively simple arts of cooking and sew¬ ing, while the more advanced students had instruction in home management, marriage and the family. All students gained practical experience in homemaking and are now more prepared for their future roles in life. They soon realized that patience and skill are necessary for one to become a successful homemaker. 129 Free Time to Work, Study, or Relax Study Hall Most students looked forward to their free periods more than any other class. For those who had a full sched¬ ule, study hall was a refreshing break. Students had an opportunity to catch up on homework or enjoy the current best-seller. Seniors were allowed to have unsuperyised senior study in the cafeteria as a senior priv¬ ilege. This gave them a chance to study, work on term papers, or shar¬ pen up their bridge skills. 1. Mary Gentry, Becky Kiser, Lynn Kilbourne, and Mary Lambert relax during senior study. 2. John Berry uses his study period to do research. 3. Johnny Jones examines the roll book during study hall. Mr 130 Students Exposed to Business World Distributive Education Through distributive education, up¬ perclassmen were able to get a head¬ start in the business world. First year students learned business techniques and third year students attended classes in the mornings and worked in the af¬ ternoons. Local businessmen cooper¬ ated in this endeavor, and many stu¬ dents could be observed working in lo¬ cal business establishments. Several students entered county -wide contests which tested their abilities and most were winners. 1. Melodie Robinson and Raymond Widener check the stock at Singleton's. 2. Melodie Robinson places mer¬ chandise on shelves. 3. Margaret Vanover fills out an application blank. 4.

Students found an outlet for their creative talents in band, chorus, or art. Some students rose to positions of honor. Lewis Harris was chosen to represent Abingdon High School in All-State chorus, and six band students were eligible to try out for All-State band. 1. Mrs. Darner accompanies Patti Elliott, Cindy Farmer, Johna Owens, Beth Hughes, and Regina Horne during choral practice. 2.

S. were numerous and students could choose among history, geography, government, sociology, and humanities. Government students learned princi¬ ples and practices of American govern¬ ment and discussed the history of Washington County. The humanities class was larger than ever, and stu¬ dents chose their areas of study, such as handicrafts. The sociology class staged a mock wedding, which was carefully planned and performed true- to-life. 1. Lewis Harris and Karen Gentry demonstrate the Virginia Reel in Humanities class. 2. Beula Price and Vicky Anderson examine the world map. 3. Bill Garrett removes Judy Grantham's garter after the wedding in sociology class. 134 1.

Each day several Abingdon High School students attended the vocational or trade school. There they had a chance to learn modern technical skills while continuing their high school educa¬ tion. Students had a wide variety of classes to choose from including auto body repair, practical nursing, home economics, cosmetology, masonry, electricity, and several others. They were able to get practical working experience while learning a trade. The vocational school prepared stu¬ dents to go directly from high school to a good job. 1. Eileen Nunley adjusts the hem of her vest in oc¬ cupational home economics. 2. David Thompson measures a cinderblock. 3.

In ag¬ riculture and shop classe s, students were exposed to such things as woodworking, welding, and machinery repair. Courses such as Agricultural Science and Mechan¬ ics I and II were introductory and explor¬ atory in nature. The agricultural science segment of the course related to urban and rural life. Approximately half of the course was devoted to mechanics. The students received personal guidance and counseling leading to entry employment in an agricultural occupation. Agriculture and shop proved to be very useful sub¬ jects. 1. Junior Sullins operates a radial arm saw in a shop class. 2. Ricky Blevins cleans out materials that have gathered in the dust collector. 3. Curtis Bingham demonstrates the use of a lathe. 138 Hothouse Becomes Hotter Than Ever Horticulture Learning the methods of growing beautiful flowers was a rewarding ad¬ venture for high school students. In horticulture class, they were able to learn about the care and feeding of hot¬ house plants while gaining practical ex¬ perience by growing their own, which they could take home later. Students had a small setback when a section of the greenhouse burned, but soon every¬ thing was back to normal. Students watched the growing process as tiny seeds transformed themselves into lovely blossoms. From time to time, the horticulture class provided groups with special floral arrangements. 1. Diane DeLapp spends her hour in the greenhouse Removing unhealthy plants from the pots. 2. Mike Montgomery carefully waters the Easter lilies as one his many duties in horticulture class. 1 i zm , ; 1 1 k iH 139 A Time To Remember Organizations Due to the shortage of gas and other crucial materials, there will be no dance.

A club of our very- own and we were just eighth graders. With the falling of leaves came the idea for a money making project. By raking leaves we earned about half of our treas¬ ury.

Home¬ coming 1973 was no exception. Spirit Week, sponsored by the cheerleaders, was won by the mighty Seniors al¬ though competition was close. The halls, with each part assigned to a dif¬ ferent class, were covered with posters and balloons. The football team was showered with everything from pizzas to cakes to crepe paper. Then, the game Friday night with Richlands brought more excitement with a 12-8 win over the Tornados. The highlight of the night was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Sally Smith, who was chosen by the football team. 1 | vfl - 1 1 1.

V-i-c -t-o-r-y! was a favorite chant of Falcon fans this year. Several pep rallies were held to show the Falcons that the student body was behind them all the way. Two of these were sponsored by the S.C.A. with all classes helping to make them a success. The cheerleaders worked hard to make up skits portraying the senior football and basketball players.

French Moore III mm' Seniors Present “You, the Jury,” From beginning to end, You, the Jury , a courtroom drama with the charge of murder, captured the intel¬ lect, as well as interest, of the spec¬ tators. The play did not provide char¬ acters as the jury; but allowed the audience to be the judge by a vote at the close of the play. The fifteen characters and many back- stage aids gave two per¬ formances --for the student body and for the community. All the rehearsing and striving to achieve realistic characters resulted in a memorable occasion for all. 1. Beula Price hurries from the dressing room after changing between acts. 2.

Begin¬ ning in the summer with band camp, the Sen¬ ior band concentrated on coordinating their feet with music. The band participated in many area parades and gave four concerts. It also cheered the Falcons on to victory with pep bands. The band was honored when they were invited to the Governor's Inaugural Pa¬ rade in Richmond. Music varied from pop and jazz to marches and slow- moving pieces - so to please everyone. Both the Senior band and Intermediate band, which consisted of underclassmen, received superior ratings in concert festi¬ vals.

The Abingdon High Chorus joined with Patrick Henry’s Chorus under the direction of Mrs. Darner, to provide completely enjoyable program. Students Present “An American Sunset” Using three characters and a world of symbolic drama, The American Sunset highlighted depth and explicit acting characterization. The play pic¬ tures America’s social classification that often makes or breaks the indivi¬ dual - the way people often place im¬ portance on wealth or position rather than character or ambition. The play required much thought and imagination. The title represented countless people that society has buried alive. Per¬ haps The American Sunset could have been The Living Dead. 1.

It was with a great amount of pride that they descended the steps onto the field, the boys clad in blue, the girls in white. The commencement ex¬ ercises represented a personal triumph for each and every senior- -12 years of books, teachers, and report cards. The valedictorian and salutorian speeches brought tears to the eyes of both par¬ ents and graduates.

They expressed their im¬ pressions of how the past affects the present and how the present will directly lead us to the future we create for ourselves. Their words echoed the purpose of the graduation and the ex¬ pectations of facing a new world. 197 198 A Time to Remember Prosperity Business played a big part in the prosperity of Abing¬ don. This year, the town and its merchants faced a new problem - the energy crisis. Soon each person learned to handle the limited supply of gas and other disadvantages.
