Carl Hankla and the Falcon mascot, Kathy Taylor, shield each other from the pouring rain in the Homecoming parade. 2 Mr. Tony Hughes concentrates on his lesson plans for the day. The road to beauty is a long, hard and messy road as proved by Mark Ensminger and Vaughn Gardner in theN.H.S. Talent Show. Falcons Dare . . . To Explore . 8 To Be Unique . 40 To Conquer . 108 To Associate . 152 To Soar . 180 To Be Proud . 213 To Feather the Nest . 220 Deep concentration and lots of patience are special traits of Norman Froscher, Tim Arrington, Brian Smith, and David Morgan, participants in the school ' s first chess tournament. One of our most dignified teachers, Mrs. Doris South- erlin, gets dumped by her tricycle in front of the en¬ tire student body during the Teacher Talent Show. 3 Ginger (Mrs. Jonas ' daughter) represents a new Falcon emerg¬ ing from the football nest, on the Senior Class float. Alice Dobyns consults the cara catalog for the location of a much needed book. Band members flock to the gate eager to perform for Falcon fans at halftime. 4 Randall Campbell and Paul Jenkins work together in a science experiment to distill wood. 5 With much gratitude, Mrs. Boling and Mrs. McBride accept an autographed copy of Wilma Dykeman ' s book, A PROPHET OF PLENTY. Shawn Crookshank concentrates on taking advantage of his free shot. The Humanities classes of 500 years in the future turn eyes to the entertainment of the good old days. 6 The A.H.S. band adds to the happiness of a home football game by playing You ' ve Made Me So Very Happy. One of the many projects of the Humanities class was clean¬ ing up around our school. Judy Grantham, Sam Dollinger, and David Hoffman wonder why it had to be on a windy March day. Does Donnie Fleenor really want to borrow money for another lunch ? 7 While Jann Fuller finishes her science assignment, Susie Arrington and some of her classmates read books and pose for the photographer. J.D. Wise, Horace Griffin, and Clyde Anderson concentrate on the art of masonry at the technical school. Judy Grantham gets a refill (of Coke) at Mrs. Woolwine ' s surprise birthday party. Academics Editor: Nancy Crigger Helen Bowden, Tammy Morris, and Tam Bowen enjoy experi¬ menting in a science class. Falcons Dare to Explore Looking back, I gazed at the path I had made . . . And I thought, about myself, about the paths I had walked, and the new direction I was heading. And suddenly, I realized . . . how small I was, and how insecure I was, and how big the world was- and how lonely the new path was; and I wanted to turn back. But as I turned and looked back . . . the wind had blown out my tracks. So I walked on forward, and didn’t look back again. Terry Mattingly The William N. Neff Vocational School was completed in the Spring. 9 Responding to Adventures Is Fun Is there really any fun in being sen¬ tenced to five years? It could be; it is all in the way you look at it. While some of us took regular trips to the library to browse around, to read the newspapers, to check out a book, or to do research for themes or term papers, others per¬ formed skits, gave book reports, watched movies, and played word games all in the name of English. Allen Call and Melanie Harris earn extra credit by displaying their talents on a bulletin board. While waiting for the bell to ring in senior English class, David Hoffman and Eddie Price concentrate on the basic rules of writing a term paper. 10 Jerry Blackwell puts his term paper notes in order while Debbie Hay contemplates what to do next. The sun shining through the windows makes it hard for juniors in Mrs. Roberts ' class to concentrate on American literature. They say that no man is an island, but Billy Snodgrass and some of his classmates work individually in the great sea of knowledge. Cleaning the room for a Region IV forensic meet is part of English, tool It teaches responsibility. Brent Nicely, Darrius Carbary, Johnny Wright, and Debbie Pope join in the fun. Joey Johnson and David May prove that there is more than one way to do a book report-by constructing a log cabin. 11 Across the Water Amy Stringer, Stacey Shaffer, and Mark Hilt recite dialogue, a frequent exercise in French. Mrs. Southerlin makes sure that Sara Johnson understands her Spanish classwork. Parlez vous Francais, Que hablo Ud Espanol. If you were lucky you did, es¬ pecially if you were going abroad. It wouldn ' t be much fun to get lost in a foreign country if you didn ' t speak French or Spanish. Those who didn ' t take a foreign language almost wished they had when they learned of the trip to Europe. A week was spent in Europe with the Spanish students in Spain and the French students in France. Dicisne Latina. The Latin students weren ' t left out completely as they had a Latin Banquet. Roman decorations, Roman food, and even Roman dress were part of the banquet. Speaking La¬ tin came in handy at the banquet also. Lisa Reedy attempts to brighten up the Spanish room by cutting out designs to go on the bulletin board. 12 Foreign language students and teachers went abroad during the week of scheduled Easter Vacation.

Mrs. Pless takes time out during Latin class to give individual help to Howard Hilton. The written Spanish assignment comes easy for southpaw Marty Berry. 13 You Cant Fool Mother Nature No need to call the fire department, it ' s only the burning desire of the chemistry stu¬ dents to perform fiery experiments. No need to call the school nurse, (if we had had one) it’s only the biology students dis¬ secting earth worms and frogs. And don’t call the truant officer, it ' s only the eco¬ logy students taking a walk along the na¬ ture trail. Exploring Mother Nature makes one more appreciative as he walks down the trail of life. ■ L Ik i t - t -’ ■r+ ,s ' r - Mm IwJ M An editor is an editor is an editor as Cathy Lowe expresses her opinion to Wayne Holliday as to what procedure should be followed.

Tony Parrish and Selsey Arnold boil the solution in a test tube to observe the changes that take place. Mike Denton prepares the outline for his experiment in chemistry. Stephen James and Ricky Oliver see things differently through their safety goggles as they struggle to find the melting point of moth balls. 15 History Comes Alive Will you marry me? Give me liberty or give me death! Sometimes we confused Socio¬ logy and American History. But learning quo¬ tations isn ' t the only thing we did in Social Studies. We learned about the climate in geography while in humanities, we learned about the culture of man. Williamsburg and Richmond became more than just the names of two cities after we finished studying Virginia Government and Virginia History. After we have finished high school, the things we learned in Social Studies will make us or break us. In Sociology Class, some people spend their time concentrating on their assignment, while others enjoy bugging Coach Bishop. Lyn Asbury reads about how we won our independence from England, while his classmates concentrate on various things. Phyllis Hayter and Donnie Fleenor learn about their country ' s beginning as they take a look at United States history. Miss Crenshaw takes time to help Kenneth Hoffman understand the principles on which our government is based. 16 Lee Phipps demonstrates the art of making an Afghan on Monks cloth. This pattern is called the Christmas tree pattern. Sam Dollinger tries to calm Judy Grantham and Robert Briscoe down, while practicing their skit in humanities. Danny Wilson meditates while Valerie Horne enjoys the argument. Kenny Forrester takes pleasure in locating the State of Kansas on the map. Terri Corvin tries to ignore Coach Bishop as he teases her in Sociology class. 17 Math Students Play Numbers Game From General Business to Advanced Math our minds were filled with millions of num¬ bers. Sometimes we did not know whether to add, subtract, multiply, or divide, but with the teachers ' help, we finally arrived at the correct answer. Some were glad that only two years of Math were required, while others studied fur¬ ther into theorms and complicated equations. Trying to prove that x=y wasn ' t always easy, and solving problems that took three sheets of paper wasn ' t easy either. Striving to get high grades in Math also made us think logically for ourselves. Mr. Jesse makes sure that Denny Farmer solves a math problem correctly. 18 Debbie McCroskey, Rhonda McCroskey, Mary Jo Johnson, and Harlene Singleton share the fun of making flash cards in math class. Bobby Wilson shows the class how to solve an equation in three basic steps. Coach Buchanan prepares to take Tammy Bailey and Julia Galliher out on the highway for behind the wheel experience. Learning how a car operates is another vital part of Driver ' s Training. Coach Clear explains the function of the fan belt to Mark Hilt and Ralph White. coutmroi H MOTOR COMPANY Vicki Carr makes all the necessary adjustments before starting the car. Wheel in a Wheel Knowing how to work all the instruments on the dashboard of the car is the first step of Driver’s Training; learning to drive is last but certainly not least. Parallel park¬ ing was one of the hardest things to learn and keeping within the speed limit wasn ' t easy. From back gravel roads to the interstate, practice makes perfect. 19 Exercise Produces Physical Fitness Milk builds strong bodies, so does plenty of exercise and that is just what the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades got. Chewing gum in the gym meant running laps and sweeping the floor. Winter could find the co¬ ed gym classes playing kick ball or working on the trampoline, rings, horse, or parallel bars. Spring would find the classes on the track or softball field. Working for the Presi¬ dent ' s Physical Fitness awards was hard but displaying the patch was easier. Sharon ReMine, and Kathy Conners have their eyes on the ball as Karen Jones tries for a basket. Levonne Sexton practices her jumping ability on the trampoline as Phyllis Canter stands behind her to spot her. Mary Jo Johnson prepares to perform a stunt on the flying rings. 20 Healthy Knowledge Learning how the blood circulates through the body and the chambers of the heart was part of health class. The eighth graders spent the year in health learning about their bodies and hygiene. If you happened to walk in a room with people lying on the floor with splints on their legs and their heads wrapped up, it wasn’t the clinic, it was a ninth grade health class. The tenth grade spend their last year of health class learning how to yield the right of way, how to stay within the speed limits, and how to drive a car. Coach Clark explains what to do in case of a stroke Dennis Singleton and Mike Williams watch Ralph Roe as he demonstrates to Phil Smith. the hand-over-hand driving technique. “ Uo� „ V ftty GlAS ho � K“ UCM75 voce TAIUIO. LiOKTJ fiATl UtKr Mr. Hatcher listens to Doug Ellis as he explains the Inspection Requirements for a car. 21 Secure Jobs for the Future Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. D.E. morn¬ ing students aren ' t sure about the healthy and wise part but the wealthy part could be true. After the morning classes, the D.E. stu¬ dents left for work. Other D.E. students got up early for jobs and came to school in the afternoon. These students missed activities of the school such as assemblies, but the experience and knowledge they gained from their jobs made up for these. For many, these jobs could be a lifetime job, for others, a stepping stone to higher jobs. Larry Parris, Roy Cruensberry, Johnny Wright, and Jack Able display a composition book in D.E. Class. One of James O ' Quinn ' s jobs at Singleton ' s is to make sure that the shelves are fully stocked. Mr. Wheeler shows Sammy Knight how to pin back a shirt on a mannequin for a display. 22 Dennis Singleton makes use of his spare time while he waits for his classmates to finish a test. Mr. Jeff Campbell gains experience for teaching by being a stu¬ dent teacher in D.E. JY A PACK TQ IStQft v-.rnt cm am Debbie Durrett talks to a customer as she checks out her groceries in Minute-Ette. 23 Fingers Be Nimble A chicken hadn ' t been scratching on this page, this was shorthand. Taking dictation was okay, if you could read what you had written. A, S, D, F, J, K, L; first year typing students had these letters running through their heads. Second year students had problems, too. Tabulation problems could cause a headache. Filing records and learning correct office procedures were all a part of the business department. The duplicating machine sometimes made funny noises but usually the stenciled copies came out right. Biting her lips helps Pam Murray to concentrate hard on getting a perfect 5-minute writing in typing class. Jackie Whittaker, Irma Anderson, Susan Scyphers, and Treva Hobbs complete an assignment in Office Practice. 24 Mrs. Lucy prepares to dictate a letter to see if her students can get 80 words in three minutes. Pam Callahan, Terry Harris, and their classmates study the different types of insurance in General Business. Mrs. Kiser makes sure that Terri Harris is typing her letter in correct form. Doris Tate concentrates on taking her test while Mrs. Learning how to operate the duplicating machine is another part of Reynolds helps Helen Reynolds with a question. Tammy business. Debbie Hay demonstrates this machine. Sykes checks to see if here answer is correct. 25 Future Careers Catching the bus in the pouring rain is not much fun. The fun came after we got to the technical school. Some of us went to practical nursing and cosmetology while others went to masonery and auto mechanics. The people who attended the technical school were priviledged to belong to the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. Having had technical training, we are now prepared to go out into the world and find a place for ourselves. It wasn ' t until spring that we changed loca¬ tions from the old Washington County Techni¬ cal School to the new Neff Vocational complex. Charlie Poole, Howard Barker, and Andy Trent work patiently to acquire skills in Electronics. Welding looks fun as well as interesting. Greg Sykes and Jeff Ohlrich observe Jack Grant as he welds in technical school. 26 Brenda Wright checks Peggy Thomas ' s blood pressure and assures her she ' s normal . This is all a part of practical nursing. (prr ■ I j J - Students in Cosmetology class enjoy washing each others hair and making each other beautiful. Sue Poole looks as if she is enjoying having Patty Rock rolling her hair. T OC In printing, one learns many things For example, Denna Fields demonstrates how to operate a printing machine. Will Cecil Rhoten be a future electrician? He seems to be get ting a head start by wiring up a light fixture. 27 Larry Harless, Mark Butters, and Dayton Burke try their hand at painting a car. Dewey Johnson works in cramped quarters as he changes the signal flasher in his car. 28 Do you always wear the safety shield on top of your head? Mike Large is preparing to weld, as his teacher, Mr. Lane, looks on. Kim Pigman looks on as Lisa Phipps trims a pattern before she starts to sew. Sewing isn ' t all that bad. Missy Pace finds it amusing while Mrs. Adams sews with her eyes closed. Missy Galliher watches a film in Home Economics, while Pam Duncan finds something more interesting in the back of the room. Mary Jane Sweet learns how to cut out a jacket in Home Economics. Darts and Tarts What’s burning? What’s cooking? The odors of many exotic foods filling the halls made many stu¬ dents wish they were taking Home Economics. Sometimes we wondered why our biscuits didn ' t turn out right, especially wnen we had the recipe right in front of us. Advanced home economics students planned and prepared a full-course Thanksgiving meal. Some of us set the school’s record for putting in a zipper. Even though we had to rip out and sew over many times, our finished garment was really pretty in our eyes. 29 Chips and Shavings All the splinters, bruises and bloody fingers weren ' t so bad after that first picture frame, gun rack or knife holder was completed. Learning all the uses of wood made trees look much prettier. The smell of varnish and shellac, and the sound of saws and sanders filled the room. Future carpenters designed and made things from jewelry boxes to cedar chests. Shop also taught the boys to use a broom as they had to sweep the floor of wood chips and sawdust. Howard Stevens sandsdown his cedar chest to create a smooth finish. Don ' t forget to give it a rubbed-in waxed shine! Tommy- La tham observes. Luther Compton, Rick Pope, Ricky Sailer, and Larry Thomas listen as Mr. Garrett instructs them in shop class. 30 Brian Phillips makes use of one of the amazing machines in shop. Here, he is carving around the sides of a pla que to give it a professional finish. Randy Crusenberry and Parks Widener have the task of carrying flower pots to other members of the horticulture class. Green Thumbs Galore The horticulture students gained new respect for Mother Nature and all her hard work after having dirty finger nails. The greenhouse had to be rebuilt after the fire we had, luckily the fire didn ' t ruin too many plants. Some flowers were burned by too much fertilizer, because unfortunately everyone was not blessed with green thumbs. Learning to mix soil and fertilizer is a basic thing in horticulture. Karen Scott takes pleasure in this. Talk about getting your fingernails dirty! Wonder if Ruth Lewis worries about this as she mixes up the soil with her hands. Randy Crusenberry, JoAnna Anderson, Karen Scott, and Parks Widener carefully watch over their Easter Lilies, hoping they will be full grown by Easter. 31 More Than Books in Media Center Whether you need to catch up on the daily news, need information for a report, need to locate a book, or need a filmstrip and projector, the li¬ brary is the place to go. The sh ' s of the librar¬ ians provide for a peaceful quiet so that studying or reading is no problem. The Audio-Visual room provides teachers with movie projectors, tape recorders, record players, and other material used for their classes. Beverly Eskridge and Eddie Price make use of their free period by using the reference facilities in the library. It takes Playtex Living Gloves to protect the hands of Mrs. McBride, the librarian. The library assistant makes sure that Brenda Belcher signs in on the Study Hall list. 32 David Hoffman looks for his term paper topic in the Readers Guide. And-a 1, and-a 2 Learning to sing is a lot like a math problem--it takes a lot of counting. Counting measures so that everyone will come in at the same time and beats so that everyone will keep the same tempo. Concerts during Spring and Christmas were part of the year ' s work. The Rotary Frolics involved some of the chorus members. Regional Chorus honors were earned by eight members and three of these made All-State. Members of All-Regional Chorus: David Morgan, Carolyn Corcoran, Cindy Farmer, Denise McMillan, Beth Hughes, and Patti Elliot.

The blood came when knees were kicked up at the band camp at Maryville; the sweat came as we marched from sun-up to sun-down; and the tears flowed when we got a II rating at the Bristol Band Festival. The year wasn ' t totally lost as we received a I rating in District Festival. Mr. Tyler runs along beside the band to make sure they keep in step.

The class is made up of students from all county high schools The students also took part in home economics, horticulture, shop, and courses at the technical school. The end of the year held a special treat for these students as they had a picnic at Camp Waldo Miles. Mike Mumpower is aware of what ' s going on around him, while student aide, Kari Gardner, focuses her attention on the film. Ray Childress reads aloud to Harold Fleenor and his teacher, Mrs. Bishop. John Harris manages to get in between his teachers, Mrs. Bishop and Mr. Sisk. James McCready and Patricia Raines enjoy watching a film. Wonder what ' s going on on that film? 37 True Art Forms Drawing pictures and coloring a painting are all a part of art, but art involves other things as well. Hooking rugs, sculpting, stitchery, making afgans, and embroidery are part of it also. Expressing one ' s self on paper is fine but expressing interest in other ways is important, too. On the walls near the art room, colorful pictures drawn by the art students were displayed. Pastels and crayons added to the drab green walls. Painting isn ' t all you do in art. Rick Murray proves this as he embroiders on a piece of burlap. Ronnie Coleman expresses his talent by painting a nature scene in art class. Freddy Goodson and Fred Dye work together to scale a picture in art class. Susan Sheppard watches Judy Schaffer as she puts the finishing Debbie Fleenor and Dorothy Fields use watercolors to make their touches on her charcoal sketch. trees look alive. 38 Free for an Hour A time to study? For some. A time to sleep, to talk, to do homework for others. A free period in a long day to do whatever is necessary. Some spent their study period picking up absentee slips, working in the office, or being a gym assistant. Senior study was quite different. More freedom was given so long as it was not abused. Studying means hard concentration for Alice Nash, Ruth Lewis, and Terry Thomas. Shelia Cunningham, Kathy Russell, Allen Call, Peggy Cox, and Stephen James study together in Senior Study. Debra Morrison, Clyde Anderson, and Danny Rasnake Bruce Johnson and Bobby Derting enjoy their study hall listening to make good use of their free period by studying their the jukebox, assignment for the next class. 39 Missy Pace, Tracey Yates, Becky Barnett, and Chloe Gentry do a routine to the popular music of The Sting in the N.

A new superintendent. Dr. N. Grant Tubbs, came in time to help formu¬ late policies and programs of action. Stu¬ dents, parents and other interested patrons served with members of the school board in an advisory capacity; and, for the first time, patrons served on committees for se lection of textbooks. In true Falcon spirit, the school board and the staff of the school board of¬ fice exhibited a wingspan that encouraged Washington County schools to soar to new heights with pride. The Washington County School Board for the 1974- 1975 school year are; Front Row: Mrs. Jane Sheffey, Miss Mae Jo Craig, Mr. John Copenhaver, Dr. N. Grant Tubbs.

Educators Share Time, Talent, and Inspiration From the ringing of the first bell in Au¬ gust when school began until the strains of Pomp and Circumstance were played at graduation, teachers were friends- con¬ ducting heart-to-heart talks; performers- unveiling their talents; chaperons- touring with students on trips to France, Spain and Florida; and educators- sharing the love of knowledge.

No less than this is deserved by Mrs. Beatrice Cox and Mrs.Jeannette Hargroves. Their years of service and dedication stand as an inspiration to all who enter the teaching profession. Mrs. Cox made us realize our world was exciting and a challenge to all. Her contagious en¬ thusiasm for knowledge had to have an effect on all around her. Mrs. Har¬ groves impressed her students as a person and a teacher. Having taught in both Science and Home Economics departments, she has influenced many students. Mrs. Hargroves takes time for a disucssion with Leslie Cox. Mrs. Cox had perfect rapport with her class at all times. Mrs. Cox checks the calendar for her extra responsibil¬ ities. 54 Mrs. Hargroves guides her students in preparing the perfect meal. Mrs. Cox checks the supplies before time for her class. Mrs. Hargroves leads her students from the corner of her very small classroom. Mrs. Cox admires the bulletin board drawn by Patricia Glover. Mrs. Hargroves and Betty Mitchell pause during a busy day to smile for the camera. 55 Starting All Over Again It seemed as though Abingdon High School was going to be controlled by eighth graders as they came in full force this year. They may have been just a little confused as room numbers and hallways all seemed to look alike. They found themselves being afraid of the upper classmen, dreading physical education only to like it later, and being scared but at the same time eager to eat their own cooking in Home Ec. They showed they were not firm believers in Women ' s Lib as their class was guided by all male officers. They came through, like all the others before them, and took their place at Abingdon High School. After the school year began the following eighth grade officers were elected: Timmy Anderson, Sec. , Bobby Farnsworth, Pres. , Mike Heisler, Vice Pres. , Robert Hilt, Reporter.

We became involved in other activies as some of us took Math 9 others tackled geometry. We all struggled through Medical Self- help while others contributed to the suc¬ cess of the advertising campaign and circulation drive of the Beacon. For some of us, the best was yet to come, as a selected few were drafted into the new world of A band. Most of all, we enjoyed not being on the bottom and being able to pick on the eighth graders.

Sophomores Licensed to Drive Being an upper classman involved going to the assemblies and standing for the Seniors, as well as playing both girls and boys varsity sports. This was the last year of carrying home gym suits and taking showers. All of this made us feel big and important. As some of the sophomores were getting their licenses to drive, the rest of the student body stayed out of their way, and off the road. Some of us were failing Biology as we used our surgical, skills on innocent frogs, while the smarter ones didn ' t take Biology. We all seemed to make it though, and moved on up the road to bigger and better things.

Second From the Top The road to the top is a rough and rocky one. The year was filled with many activities and hard work for the junior class. The sale of magazines was the first and most successful pro¬ ject. Many junior homeroom sessions were held to encourage the class to work and to collect money. Unfortunately all candy is not so sweet-- the Tootsie Roll sales weren ' t very successful. The class frantically made last minute plans and preparations for the prom. When juniors weren ' t selling things, they were studying U. S. History, English, foreign languages, physics, chemistry. Algebra II, band and other elective courses. Ordering and receiving class rings were pleasures that brought the juniors one step closer to becoming seniors.

Wise Debra Young 82 It Is Time for a Change After four previous years, wishing and waiting we finally made it. Reaching the top isn ' t all peaches and cream. Re¬ alizing that after this year we won ' t have Abingdon High School to depend on can be mind baffling. Things changed this year. The Senior courtyard was closed due to apathetic attitude toward it. In¬ stead of a 3 act Senior play, one One- act play was rehearsed. Graduation ac¬ tivities were added to as we had a class night for parents and close friends. Mixed emotions prevailed in the class as graduation time came near.

Ill Losers Never Win; Winners Never Lose Football is discipline - when friends are getting together at the local hangout after school, the players are hitting the seven-man sleds or running agility drills. Football is courage - it is losing, and then instead of quitting, the team does what it takes to return to the field and face another challenger. Football is cooperation - the team members learn to depend upon and work with others. The Falcons won two games and lost eight on the gridiron. According to the scoreboard, this was a losing season, but because football is more than a game, the team won. They won experi¬ ence, knowledge, and self-discipline - qualities that will be beneficial in the greater game of life. Below.

Would it be worth all the aching mus¬ cles, bruises, and sweaty uniforms, to become a Falcon J. V. footballer? Ask a J. V. this question and he would say it was worth it all because the experience he gained would be useful in future varsity competition. The experience gained was shown through the season record of the young Falcons. Through the first six games they had three losses and three ties and then finished the season with three straight wins for a record of 3-3-3-. The highlight of the J.

The Falcon defense stopped the Blue Devils with a yard loss on fourth down then ran out the clock with a 14-6 victory. The final game was at Marion. At the end of three quarters the score was 6-6. Then a well-executed punt return team raised the score to 14- 6 and again the defense was put to the test and met the challenge with poise. Eight wins and three losses seemed quite an enviable record for twenty- seven eighth graders, their coaches, and faithful fans. Twenty-seven eighth graders look up to three tall men-on the football field during practice and in everyday life.

Falcons Will Rise Again According to the press, Falcons were stopped, pasted, clobbered, trounced, beaten, topped, defensed, defeated and they bowed, tumbled, and fell. They also winged, rolled and got by some teams. Falcons are by nature proud, high-flying, and distinctive; the young and inexperi¬ enced fledgling attempts great things but he does not sink into permanent depre- sion if at first he does not succeed. He sets his sights on other goals and seeks to attain them. With a record of 5-14 at the end of regular season play, we sought new goals. 115 Varsity Basketball VWSOQj GDa gdojt i HGD0 i HGDi Tim Powers outjumps the opponent in the tip-off of the second game of the Southwest District Tournament.

We got ribbons for excellence at camp and ribbons of sweat at Latture. We had watermelon parties for football players, spaghetti dinners for both boys ' and girls ' basketball teams, cheerleading clinics for chil¬ dren, and bake sales for anyone who wanted to help support the cause.

Cheerleaders Being a Cheerleader Was Worth It All Being a JV Cheerleader was not all fun and games. Practice started early in the summer at Latture Field. Routine was broken slightly as we had bake sales and window washes. But being a JV Cheer¬ leader was really worth it when you cheered your heart out at a game, and then your team won. During pep rallies, we also got to cheer to show that we were really rooting for our team. Toward the end of the year, some of us set our goals on trying out for Varsity Cheerleading.

Appropriate art was planned and the layout staff took the plans to the publisher. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. At lunch time or during study hall, one could hear Laura Ryland rythmically typing poems, stories, and essays for the QUILL.

Talon Staff Apathy Epidemic Press Issue Here There was the spark-the de¬ sire to publish a newspaper; there were a few students and teachers who fanned the flame, and, as usual, there was the water bucket brigade. Our first issue was pub¬ lished in April and we worked fe¬ verishly to report the activities of the last six weeks of school. The first edition yelled and echoed apathy, apathy. Perhaps, again the press has exposed a Watergate and encouraged honor¬ able action and involvement. Kim Farris and Editor Beth Hughes look over earlier editions of the TALON for helpful suggestions and old news. Yearbook Staff Beacon Staff Dare to Meet Deadlines If you wanted a job done, you gave it to a busy person. Everyone who stayed with the staff worked double shifts to try to meet deadlines. We were identi¬ fying pictures, writing copy, measuring headlines, and arranging the index after the advertisements had been sold and the circulation campaigns were complet¬ ed. Since some of the staff had to re¬ sign, there was not time for monkey business but putting a yearbook to¬ gether is fun. Co-Editors Cathy Lowe and Suzan Widener check the Black Book for completed pages. David Blankenship and Brad Ellis, freshman photographers, prepare the camera for an assignment. Co-Sponsors Mrs. June Roberts poses be¬ side one of the posters which were do¬ nated to the staff by the yearbook rep¬ resentative. 178 Suzan Widener and Cathy Lowe, Standing, lend editorial support to Class Editor, Freda Dye; Activities Editor, Terri Corvin; Faculty Editor, Jackie Atkins; and Academics Editor, Nancy Crigger. The Seniors on the Beacon staff were treated to a banquet in their honor. Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Brown, Mrs. June Roberts, Cathy Lowe, Nancy Crigger, Terri Corvin and Mrs. Sandra Jonas enjoy their meal. Mrs. Jonas offers free advice to Circulation Manager, Patti Elliott; Business Manager, Cindy Farmer; and Ads Manager; Marsha Jones.

Tim Moretz shouts his approval of the Fifties dance to Bobby Remine. 181 Swedish Friend Comes to America Learning how to say Jan Ingemarsson was the challenge that was thrown at the students at the beginning of the year. Jan comes from Broby, Ljungbyholm, Sweden. He arrived in Abingdon in August, 1974 making his home with the Bill Howards. He has participated in track and has gone to other school activities. He learned about religion, square dancing and other inter¬ esting topics in Humanities, Many seniors were shocked when their test scores were lower than Jan ' s in English class. Jan will be missed be everyone when he returns to Sweden in June, 1975. While patrolling the fence for the Key Club at a football game, Jan catches a souvenir football. Jan got to see another part of America when he went to Florida with the band. 182 Cheerleaders Mike Elswick, captain--Jan Ingemarsson, and Tim Arrington discuss the next cheer they will do at the Civinette football game. Mirna Fernandes talks to Eddie Jordon at the bonfire before homecoming. Mima’s Stay Is Short but Sweet From a large town, Sao Paulo, in Brazil to the small town of Abingdon, Virginia came Mima Fernandes, a small dark-haired, dark-eyed exchange stu¬ dent. Mima didn’t stay in our town very long since she missed the big city atmo¬ sphere. She left and went to Baltimore, Maryland. During her short stay, Mima made her home with the Wayne Myers family. While she was a Falcon she at¬ tended the school functions that took place and seemed to enjoy them. Her short stay made it nearly impossible to get to know Mima very well, but her Am¬ erican family and closest friends en¬ joyed her stay and were very sorry to see her leave. Jan relaxes with his American family on the sun-deck of his home. Seated are Jan and Mrs. Penny Howard. Back Row: Mr. Bill Howard, Bob Howard and Ed Howard. 183 Damp Victory Rain, rain go away, rain on someone elses ' parade , thought the few raincoat clad people at the Homecoming parade. Spirit week started things off and a series of spirited events followed. A pep rally and bonfire brightened things up and showed the team that the students were backing them. Alumni were welcomed to the festivities. During half-time, Sally Hill, Senior class presi¬ dent, accepted the spirit trophy and was crown¬ ed queen. Her court watched with smiles. After a victory over Marion, it was to the dance. Although it rained, homecoming was a success. Rebecca Booth, Eighth grade representative is escorted by Frank Atwell.

Nancy Adams and Clyde White enjoy dancing to the music of Traveler ' s Revision. 185 Y-e-l-l Everybody Yell It ' s a bird, not a plane. It ' s Super Falcon! This Falcon was an added attraction to the pep rallies. She walked in with the players and carried the spirit stick. An air of excitement was felt as the band played. The teams were boosted by spirit of many stu¬ dents but for others it was a time to get out of class. With a standing ova¬ tion the players walked in proudly on the red carpet. The Falcon mascot watches as the football team enters the gym. Kari Gardner encourages enthusiasm as she announces a cheer. A bearcat is caged by Super Falcon in a skit. The girls enjoy the recognition they get in their first pep rally. 186 Hop in Your Socks After a football game or bas¬ ketball game, the place to go is the cafeteria to boogie to good music. Couples expressed the reason for liking the sock-hops was that it broke the monotony of everyday school life. Students enjoyed the opportunity to get together even if it wasn’t a special occasion. Being married doesn ' t prevent Keta and Freddie Mitchell from enjoying the sock- hop. The blinding lights of the camera startle Nancy Crigger and Jerry Blackwell. A coke helps David Kelly, Donna McCormick, Mark Landreth, and Kim Pigman cool off as they discuss the game with Amy Ryland. 187 Dawg Patch Population 125 Linemarque provided good foot- stompin ' music for the Sadie Haw¬ kins dance. A real hootnanny atmosphere was the setting, and farmers and hillbillys would have felt right at home. Lisa Hughes and Norman Froscher took honors as Daisy Mae and Lil Abner. Donna Hannah and Mike El wick were bluejean-clad and took honors as best-dressed. Haybales and quilts covered the floor and everyone enjoyed the dance. Preacher Yeary hitched couples with a contract that was good only during the dance. The only thing that was missing was a man calling out swing your partner, do-si-do .

Off Broadway You can ' t buy a Beacon if your light don ' t shine was the theme of the teacher talent show, sponsored by the Beacon staff. Teacher ' s displayed hidden talent and their efforts were well rewarded by the appreciation of the students. Commercials, songs, and skits were performed and every¬ one seemed to enjoy the antics of the A.H. S. faculty. Students and faculty were taken forward in time for the setting of the National Honor Society talent show. Students participated, and various talents were displayed. Each student deserved a first place body with attentiveness and appreciation and the complimentary remarks of the faculty. 189 A table setting can say it all, as this setting was enhanced by a silver goblet and a memory booklet. The beauty of the surroundings added to the enjoyment of the summer evening, as some of the seniors gathered on the lawn, before the banquet. Mr. McCarthy begins the happy task of filling his plate as he is joined by David Millsap, Bill Garrett, Bobby Spriggs, Billy Caudell, and Mike Gregory. 190 Relaxing before the banquet were Mary Jane Sweet, Diane Delapp and Linda Norris, while Brenda Widener awaits some more of her friends. Reading the class history proved amusing for Laura Bundy as Kathy Russell, Judy Grantham and Angi Rasnake await their turn. Senior Class President Sally Hill and Senior Class Sponsor Mrs. Sandra Jonas enjoy the meal at the Senior Class Banquet. Sally Hill and Mrs. Jonas drink to the toast made by Gloria Wagner to the principal of A. H. S. Members of the class responded to the various toasts. Senior Banquet A Farewell Toast to Class of’75 Following tradition, the Senior Class Banquet was held at Greenway Party House on May 30. The seniors enjoyed the meal and then relaxed to the remi¬ niscing of the good ole days of elemen¬ tary and high school. Toasts were carried out, as the students toasted several clubs, activities, and indivi¬ duals. The entertainment brought happy and sad tears as Patti Elliott, Cindy Farmer, and Beth Hughes sang Memo¬ ries”, accompanied by Sharon Brown and Kathy Taylor. But, no class is per¬ fect; as this was proved when three silver goblets were missing after the banquet but were returned the next day. Freddie Dye raises his glass in a toast to the N. H. S. members. 191 “The Dear Departed“ Rated Superior Practice makes perfect and the one-act play cast proved this when they received superior ratings. The play received a superior rating at the play festival in regional com¬ petition and another superior rating at state competition. After school, practice made the school day longer. Mr. Henry McCarthy spent many hours practicing with the cast. There were some behind-the- scenes people who were also very important. No play could be pro¬ duced without the help of the stage crew. Lighting, make-up and scenery are nearly as important as the cast. Donna Emmert pours tea for the members of the family in the play. Grandpa (Thornton Bowman) appears to the amazement of the family, who susDected him to be dead. Discussion between Mother (Donna Emmert) and daughter (Vicki Carr) draws the attention of Lynn Adams and Herbie Ellis. 192 Greg Ellis and Donna Emmert seem stunned by some action in the play. Shine on, Shine on Junior Class Rings One step closer to becoming a Senior! With so many different colors and styles the choice was sometimes difficult. The fun part came when the juniors received their rings in front of the upperclassmen. Sending rings back wasn ' t much fun. If the wrong color, size or stone was sent, the company had to correct their errors. The stage, deco rated.with ' 76 signs displayed the pride of the class as they received their coveted class rings. More than rings were received, pride and anticipation of the senior year were also given. There was no doubt who received their rings that day. A beam¬ ing face was the mark of every junior. Vicki Heisler, Debbie Lazear and Danny Brittenham seem to have different choices for the stones for their rings. Mr. Aubrey Brown congratulates the Juniors on their special day. Jerry Ball eagerly reaches for his class ring after being personally congratulated by our principal, Mr. Brown. Winners Compete in State Contest We had our share of talented forensic winners. They went to District contest. Lisa Roberts won first place in extemporaneous speaking, Laura Ryland won first in spelling, and Debbie Reed won first in original oratory. Marilou Moore won second place in poetry reading, Rob Campany won second in poetry reading and Thornton Bowman took second place in prose reading. Regional winners in¬ cluded Laura Ryland, first place, Debbie Reed first, and Rob Campany first place. Marilou Moore and Thornton Bowman won second place. Marilou Moore placed third and Thornton Bowman placed second in the state meet. It all started in English classes when teachers made special assignments. Do your own thing , whether you read prose oi poetry or made speeches. We didn ' t like the assignments very much until the medals were presented. 194 A Latin Holiday Roman dress, decorations, music and food were all a part of the festivities of the Latin Ban¬ quet. Students from all Mrs. Pless ' s Latin classes were invited. The stage band provided the music for the banquet. If strangers had walked into the cafeteria, where the banquet was held, they would have thought they they were in old Rome. Roman columns and a statuette fountain add to the beauty of the decorations of the banquet. Dressed in Roman fashion are Connie Martin, Greg Ellis, and Rob Campany on their way to the banquet. Romans Sandy Johnson, Bradley Thayer, and Phillip Bradley prepare to start playing the music. 195 He Loves Me . . . He Loves Me Not . . . ' Til give you a daisy a day, dear was the theme of the Spring Formal sponsored by the National Honor Soc¬ iety. The theme was carried out in the decorations as a Springy atmosphere filled the cafeteria. Bright streamers and flower pots of daisies and a color¬ ful bulletin board carried out the theme even further. A new local band, Bonque, played for the dance and their brass section was something different from the other bands we have had. Donna Hannah was crowned May Queen and individual pictures were taken of the couples. Many people expressed their opinion that this was one of the better dances of the year. Ken Chittum and Cindy McElyea, Angi Pierce and Ken Forster take a break to cool off from all that dancing. ; M H I H h 1 v I s X • m 1 L i |y i IP i ' A W J The floor was crowded but no one seemed to mind because of the good time atmosphere. Billy Cuadell and Kim Elswick get ready to dance while other couples decide to sit this one out. 196 A break in the music found couples relaxing at the tables. The May Court, Sandy Weaver, Lynn Snyder, Lee Phipps, Len Levenson, Donna Hannah, Queen, Teresa Cunningham, Becky Barnett, Lisa Wright, Audrey Ratcliff, and Amy Ryland, smiles royally. Refreshments, provided by the National Honor Society, were enjoyed by Johnny Crigger, Kim Farris and Johnna Owens Mr. Karl Reedy crowns smiling Donna Hannah as 1975 May Queen. 197 New Dance With Old Ideas We’re gonna rock around the clock to¬ night ! Bobby socks, long skirts, shades, ponytails, greasy kid stuff, and black leather jackets were the attire worn to the 50 ' s dance, held in the gym. Pop’s Malt Shop was the place to go to cool off with ice cream sodas. The Challengers, a strictly 50’s band, played four hours of music full of Beach Baby, Great Pretender , and other hits of the good old days . The S. C. A. sponsored the groovy hap¬ pening and it was completely new and enjoy¬ able from the dances to the bubblegum blowing contest, won by Mary Hughes. This was the first 50’s dance we had ever had, but not many people came to enjoy it. Guy Barrow proves to Rana Duncan that he can get down to 50 ' s music. Debbie McCroskey and Clyde Belcher swing and smile to favorite song. 1 m. i 1 Bill Endean and Beth Hughes dress down in the clothes that made the fifties so popular. 198 Frank Atwell, Margie Pinkerton, Lynn Morefield and Mike Denton enjoy the atmosphere of Pop ' s Malt Shop. The Challengers provided strictly 50 ' s music for four hours. William and Diane Delapp rest after dancing to the music all evening long. pf m v [ JL rj 41 ■ The circle will be unbroken as the dancers join hands to dance to the music. 199 Jack Yates proudly accepts the Outstanding DECA Student of the Year Award from Mr. Wheeler.

The meal was served in the gym. A skit was given by athletes portraying the coaches and the doctors who helped at games. Mr. Jerry Bishop, athletic di¬ rector, presided. The coaching staff then presented trophies. Every one was in¬ vited to stay for the dance, held in the cafeteria. During the athletic assembly all ath¬ letes were recognized by name. Trophies won by the teams were presented to the S. C. A. President for the trophy case. Senior athletes were presented with the school letter for participation in sports. Jan received a standing ovation as he was called up to receive his letter jacket. Eyes Anderson was all smiles as Coach Larry Bales presented him with the Sportsmanship award. 202 Dr. Ellis keeps the audience informed while (Tim Powers) Dr. Hill works a cramp out of a boy ' s leg and (Vaughn Gardner) Coach Clear, (Tom Phipps) Coach Burkett and (Steve Holbrook) Dr. Hulvey watch the action.

The Junior class sponsored the prom in honor of the Seniors as their gift to all graduates. Line- marque provided the music for this, formal oc¬ casion. The prom was held in the gym of Abing¬ don Elementary School. The walls of the gym were covered with paper resembling bricks with clinging vine, the dance floor had bright green paper hedges and baskets of paper roses scat¬ tered about. For many Seniors the prom was the last dance they would attend as students. Anthony Anderson and Linda Ross take a break and en¬ joy their conversation. The dance floor was crowded with couples dancing to the beat. Couples, couples everywhere! ! and everybody had a good time. Linemarque, the band for the prom, played mostly hard rock music. 204 Tommy Hagy and Pam Callahan enjoy watching every¬ one dance, while they rest. Mr. and Mrs. Brown seem to be enjoying the prom as special guests. Mr Reedy and Miss Deel prove that chaperoning can be fun as Junior girls, Connie Martin, Leisa Wright and Betsy they join in the dancing. P«rce, helped to serve refreshments. 205 No Senior Assembly, Class Night Instead Flying in the face of custom, this year’s Senior Class dared to be dif¬ ferent. We broke the tradition of having a senior assembly. Awards in the aca¬ demic and athletic assemblies for Sen¬ iors were held for presentation at class night. Achievements from every aspect of high school were recognized. The class poem, prophecy, and will were also read. Senior superlatives were announced and scholarships were pre¬ sented. Mr. Aubrey Brown presents perfect attendance medals to Frank Atwell, (12 yrs. ), Linda Norris, (8 yrs. ), Ruth Canter, (8 yrs. ), Lisa Reedy, (1 yr. ), Dolores Carbary, (1 yr. ), Mark Henry, (7 yrs. ), Phil Shaffer, (3 yrs. ), and Gleneda Ferguson, (2 yrs. ). Mr. Aubrey Brown presents the Gibson Vance Memorial Schol¬ arship to Mark Henry. Mrs. Jane Moore presents Lisa Roberts and Kenneth Parks with the I Dare You award. As a grand finale to class night, the seniors had a candlelight ceremony and sang the school song. 206 Mr, Tommy McConnell presents the math award to Ed Howard. Dr. E.B, Stanley presents The Good Citizenship Award to Patti Elliott, Mr. Al Colley presents the C.T. Casteel Memorial award to Linda Ross. Kim Yates, salutatorian, receives a handshake from Mr. Aubrey Brown, as Teresa Cunningham and Vaughn Gardner watch from behind. 207 Preparation for Graduation Is a Handful Preparation for graduation started early as one winter day we were called to the cafeteria to order our announce¬ ments and caps and gowns for our spring graduation. We also ordered our senior class jewelry at this time. This was only the beginning, as shown by the senior class sponsors who also said prepara¬ tion for graduation was a headache. But the preparation was the last step to grad¬ uation which we all took with one giant leap. The boys of the Senior Class, under strict super¬ vision of Mrs. Roberts, await their turn to file into position. There are many different things one can do with her hands while making a decision, as demonstrated by Mrs. Sandra Jonas, Marsha Jones, Patti Elliott and Carletta Warren. The girls of the Senior Class line up according to height to have their Senior Class pictures taken. 208 Cathy Lowe checks with Sally Hill and Mrs. Sandra Jonas to verify her place on the program. She read Romans 12 from the LIVING BIBLE. Life’s Fundamentals Durable and Eternal A former teacher, Mr. Harry Denton, laid it on the line. He said we should be tuned in to the finer things of life. The order of worship also included scripture and prayer and two musical selections sung by a girls ' ensemble. About one half of the senior class were present for the baccalaureate. After lining up in the gym, Melanie Harris, Beth Hughes, Lee Phipps, and others march to the auditorium. Mr. Harry Denton, baccalaureate speaker, stands immediately beside the speaker ' s stand. 209 Rain Clouds Mar Outdoor Graduation A beautiful outdoor graduation had been the dream , but rain-filled clouds emptied themselves on the track field Thursday and there was not enough sun¬ shine to soak it all up on Friday. At seven o ' clock, we were lined up in the gym ready for that final march into the auditorium. Eddie Jordon steadies himself with his cane while lining up with the other seniors. Mike Tate ' s cap needs an adjustment. With cameras flashing, proud seniors march to the stage. All one hundred and eighty-four of us are on the stage because the Class president Sally Hill presides, other seats were filled with relatives and friends. 210 With Pomp and Circumstance, the class marched to the stage. After the in¬ vocation by the chaplain, Becky Barnett, the top four seniors spoke proudly and ad¬ monished, Be careful, strive to be happy for tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. Travel hopefully; it is better than to arrive. Develop the spiritual man, within you and make love your aim” and the fifth speaker added Strive to maintain your i nd i vidual ity ' ' . Mr. Karl Reedy presented the top ten percent of the class and Mr. Aubrey Brown presented the diplomas. After the bene¬ diction by Sgt. -at-Arms. Micheal Gregory, we merged with the establishment.
