Bottom Left: Jackie Atkins. n ill Mrs. Beatrice Goodwin Jerrue was born and reared in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, where she participated in basketball and cheer- leading during high school. She continued her education and became a champion debater at Morehead State College. Her teaching career began in Kentucky and continued at William King High School in Abingdon. Since 1959, when Abingdon High School opened, Mrs. Jerrue has coached de¬ bate teams (the affirmative and negative teams won the state tournament one year). sponsored the junior class, instructed for¬ ensic contestants, taught social studies and speech, and served as chairman of the social studies department. After June 1976, she will have more time for her hobbies, playing bridge, reading and writing poetry, and enjoying riflery, dogs and horses. Students have commented, M She knows history . . . She knows her students . . . She inspired me to read and become aware . . . She is a friend. She checks the roll book atyhe Reading NEWSWEEK magazine, she marks all beginning of each class period. the important articles for her class. The flash of a camera astonishes Mrs. Jerrue as she teaches U.S. History to the juniors in 1968. Mrs. Jerrue takes her glasses off to rest her eyes after reading the morning newspaper which she uses in teaching current events. We hold these truths to be self-evident , , . Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness in education had an early beginning. The Puritans, filled with dreams of the good life, realized that their ability to conquer the wilderness lay in their children ' s pre¬ paration. From the NEW ENGLAND PRIM¬ ER, the Blue-backed SPELLER, and Mc- Guffey ' s ERADER to the OREGON CUR¬ RICULUM, the youth of our nation have been challenged to conquer the wilderness of ignorance. Sometimes we could not see the wilder¬ ness for the trees, obstacles that slowed our progress toward quality education. Life was not easy in the hot August sun. Coaches met prospective athletes for long hours of building the 1975 version of Fal¬ con football. A week later the rest of the administration met to sharpen the educa¬ tional saws and prepare to clear the wilder¬ ness for about thelve hundred eager studtlers.

Mr. Mike Lethcoe, coordinator, supervises his class as they take notes on £heir observations. The settlers, approaching the frontier on August 15, 1975, faced the hardships of learning new rules and regulations, adjusting to some new trail-blazers (new teachers and a new assistant principal), getting into the hamburger line, and learning new methods of fight¬ ing apathy, inflation, and boredom. By November 27 we wer thank¬ ful for a long Thanksgiving week¬ end and we anticipated a rapid three weeks until Ghirstmas vacation. We kept hearing about the Bi¬ centennial (what ' s that?)! Some of our classes were in¬ vited to the auditorium in January 7,1976, to witness the commission- 4 ing of newly-elected county officials 1 for the year wn which we celebrated America ' s two hundredth birthday. A very mild winter, weather- wise, ushered us into a hotly- contested presidential election year with politicians blazing their own campaign trails. An unusla spring kept us wondering when to platn the garden, and when to practice baseball outside. Term papesr, field trips, na¬ ture tails, guest speakers, and Mrs. Claudia Blevins came this year to be our new attendance secretary.

Educators eyed their per¬ formance targets through the smog of extra-curricular du¬ ties, P.T.A., professional improvement programs and apathy. Educatees eyed their diplomas through the rose- colored glasses of better back¬ ground, more flexible cur¬ riculum, looser discipline and early graduation. We were at liberty, to realize the Great American Dream and to build foundations from the timbers of the wilderness. In pursuit of happiness, we are determined to stake a claim on the frontier of the future. Sharon Arnold, Barbara Hoffman watch as Sally Phipps operates on a frog in biology class.

Falcons Nosedive — Worst Season Yet I don ' t know what ' s the matter. We ' re better than they are, but some¬ thing just won ' t let us win, stated a disgusted player during the final quarter of an away game. That something lagged and pulled at the Falcons to give us the worst losing streak we ' ve seen yet. Many things could have caused such rotten luck. We lost an incredible amount of very valuable players during our first games, including our only experienced quarterback. Lack of skill and speed was also another dam¬ aging factor in our fight to win. We fumbled the first five passes thrown to us in the game with J. S. Battle. Due to a heartbreaking mistake, we lost by one point to Virginia High in the final seconds and that hurt our egos immensely.

None came during our Home¬ coming contest or during the game with Marion. Out chance finally came when we played Patrick Henry in a fight for the finish, literally. It was a toss-up for last place in the district, and suddenly, Abingdon took on a new idea of We Believe. Fans turned out and cheered like they never had be¬ fore, and our own players fought with a new found determination. We won our first game. It felt good to be able to yell, We’re Number One! for the first time in the season. We did have a losing season. No euphemisms can dress that up. Face it, with the weather turning Latture Field into a virtual swamp, and rib¬ cracking tackles putting some of our top players out for the season, not much can be said, except that luck just didn ' t smile on the Falcons. .yiiS ■Js ' Alt j .

V. player could gain is when junior is dropped and the varsity stands on its own. The junior varsity squad had its ups and downs. They knew how hard prac¬ tice and work were for their positions on the field. The fervor of victory, after a one point win over Gate City on their field, died a bit as our next game with Patrick Henry proved an upset for us--our first loss. It was a tough schedule to follow and held as many hurt egos as sore backs. Still, all the drudgery and aches were discarded as J. V. f s started seeing varsity sidelines and field action. It was a good season--not the best, but not the worst. It also saw one major hope fulfilled for many, the step from J. V. to varsity squad.

Shoot the half!” You can do it! Pin him! The gym was filled with involved people, shouting encouragement for the guys down on the floor--the wrestlers. Wrestlers show a conviction of be¬ ing better than their opponents. Psych¬ ing up was a common way of achieving this I can beat him attitude. Still, a case of butterflies sometimes over¬ came any amount of meditation, and it took a boost from crowds cheering them on to make the difference. Larger crowds started showing up as folks took interest in the matches. It really made you feel good to hear somebody up there yelling for you. You knew people wanted you to win, one player explained. Wrestling is a sport of individual skill, just ask any mat rat. It took de¬ termination and pride to stand the 109 V 4 temperatures of weight room practices. Four such fellows proved their tenacity during Region IV competition.

V. wrestlers, mostly 8th graders, found themselves facing new obstacles as they began practicing falls, take downs and reversals. The old time freshmen, sophomores, and juniors taught them the more intricate moves like the cross body ride and head lever. Our junior mat rats learned the indi¬ vidual success of beating a fellow team¬ mate in order to wrestle preliminaries, or even better, challenge varsity players for their position on the varsity squad! The eighth graders still practiced after the official season ended so they could participate in the Pulaski In vita- tionals. Steve Bassham and Mark Cook placed 2nd and 5th, respectively.

Three miles is a far piece to hoof it just to finish with a high score. Our cross country team faced last place pretty often, but they were made of stronger stuff-“determination and per¬ severance--than to let it get them down. Mike Canipe, a senior track mem¬ ber, helped give Abingdon a name by being the number one runner in the county. Most of the meets were held at Waldo Miles Park, a tough route of narrow dirt paths and uphill climbs. We almost always brought up the rear, for our team consisted of only six men. Two meets were held here with Patrick Henry, but somehow we didn’t manage a win then, either. Cross Country is a sport of endur¬ ance and individuality. It takes a special type of person to run the course. AHS has such people running for her. 18 Cross Country Top: Team Picture: Kneeling: David Morgan, Charlie Hutton.

After a two week try-out period, 12 girls were chosen out of a record 63 for varsity volleyball. With a new coach, Mrs. Judy Faris, and new uniforms, our girls were ready for a winning season. Out of the 12 games we played, the match with Virginia High proved the most exciting. Virginia High is the type of team that just keeps bumping it (the vol¬ leyball) back to you. I swear, there were more volleys in that game than any oth¬ er! exclaimed one player.

Tops Losing Season Strange as it may seem, varsity bas¬ ketball kept the spirit burning through¬ out their winter play-offs, not withstand¬ ing the close losses and not-so-close defeats. Support from our Mad Hatters was outstanding at the first games, but when a law was passed that forbade stomping on the bleachers, enthusiasm wanned in favor of other week night activities. Our arch-rival, John Battle, learned about our Falcon drive when we flew past them three out of four times. We downed Richlands with a four point vic¬ tory after a tight game. Gate City and Grundy poured it on us, however, with lay-up after lay-up going in. John Battle stomped us in the Southwest District Tournament, and we lost our final game to Marion by 18 points. Still, we believed in ourselves and a brighter future. Billy Rowe gets grounded by Richland ' s David Arms, as teammate Denny Farmer tries to block the opponent ' s basket.

Whispers of state began soon after beating rough-n-tough Virginia High. Even after being defeated by Gate City and Graham, hopes still soared high as we beat the previously unde¬ feated Marion. Never before had the Scarlet Hurricane girls been beaten by a Southwest District team, until Abing¬ don stomped them in two games! District competition was held at Marion. Abingdon won an exciting match with Tazewell, despite a technical called on Coach Judy Wallace for pro¬ testing when an official failed to make calls on two apparent fouls. Victory was ours when we beat Marion, but Graham laid it on us, 21-37. We went to regionals at George Wythe High with a title of second in the district. At the end of the fourth quar¬ ter, we trailed by two points behind Radford. We lost, 38-40. After finish¬ ing these games, Abingdon ranked fourth in the region. Nonetheless, the bright chain of victories we held in the district prove we’re still one of the best.

Our track team, led by Tom Phipps and Mike Pierce in field events and Eddie Patterson, Zan Fugate, Mike Ellison, and Charlie Hutton in running, saw scary moments during meets and practice. Eddie Patterson sprained an ankle and ran district with a taped leg. Mike Pierce broke his favorite vaulting pole during prac¬ tice and had to revamp a new one. The Inter-Mountain Relays were a little nerve-racking as we tied for first with Virginia High. We lost the trophy to the Bearcats due to the misguided landing of a tossed coin. We started shaking up competi¬ tion by skimming past Powell Val¬ ley during the Abingdon Relays. Mike Pierce and Mike Ellison were voted outstanding field evgnt and track stars for that meet. In the Big Six meet, Central bowed out of the two year lime¬ light when Abingdon took their place as Number 1. The county meet was a breeze for us and the county trophy came into Falcon Territory for the first time in two years. District preliminaries for running events were held May 12th, and all our men who participated were accepted. May 17th was the date of the district meet. It seemed the entire student body (a few teachers included!) laid out to watch our team. A little unsu re of ourselves at first, we soon showed our superiority over the other competitors. The most outstanding event the track men had was the 880 relay. Their time made them first in the regionals and they attended state. Tom Phipps heaves the shot into the air as Coach Curtis Burkett watches for a possible foul. Mike Ellison triumphantly crosses the Boy ' s track statistician Teresa Counts line after completing the 880 relay. levels the sand for an upcoming jump. 32 Boys ' Track Eddie Patterson puts his all into the jump. While the observing Powell Valley opponent doesn ' t seem too happy with Eddie ' s effort, Coach Bailey is more concerned with the Falcon ' s landing. Mike Pierce broke the Southwest District record in pole vaulting with a height of 13 ' 1 . Below, Zan Fugate ' s speedy handoff to Eddie Patterson gives Abingdon ' s 880 relay a head start. Close Shave At Marion Tourney Our perfect season was spoiled when only a fraction of the team came to a meet over the Easter holiday. Our first meet was sched¬ uled on March 29th, at home. Ev¬ eryone ' s hearts were thumping and we were ready to run. It was a blow as heavy rains started pouring down and the meet was canceled, not to be rescheduled. The Marion Invitational was very close. After 5 events, we were only leading by 3 points. Then came the 100 yard dash. We captured 1st, 2nd, and 4th in this. Bill Smith fell across the line to capture the 5th place and a broken collar bone. Bent on making a better distance than other competitors, Chip Thayer finishes off the last leap of the triple jump. Full of pride, Steve Bassham accepts his first place ribbon in the pole vault competition at the Wash¬ ington County Track Meet. He won with a height of 8 ft. 6 in. Below, Gary Hammer, voted outstand¬ ing track star at the Marion Invitationals, clears the high jump with graceful ease. 34 J.V.

Negative Anticipation But Positive Results Misfortune seemed to trail at the heels of the varsity and J. V. girls as practice started in March. Sore arms and stiff legs came with the first week of practice and suicides. These gave way to more serious injuries as strained muscles, shin splints, and even bursitis. Complaining seemed to be our chief form of exercise. We didn ' t want to practice for an hour after school and usually didn ' t, for we complained about sore muscles or we just didn ' t want to do anything. April 1st brought on a lot of hesi¬ tation for obvious reasons. It was our first meet and the weather was cold¬ er than blue blazes. We pulled through with a third place, however, so despite the negative anticipation, the sun shone in the form of pride. Our performances usually didn ' t pan out when cold weather prevailed It ' s a toughie, but Melinda Branson and our new sweats came in (cont. on doesn ' t waver in her jump.

A sigh went up and the fans resume their observation of Abing¬ don at one of its best spring sports - -baseball. It was a terrific lift to spirits when the Senior Little League paid for and put a new face on Latture Field. Dug-outs were raised and painted, new protective wire was put up, and a new press box was built behind home base. Bleachers were usually filled to overflowing at home games. Some specta¬ tors found the dug-outroofs provided excellent views of the field. The fans had a lot to watch, too! Abing¬ don saw some of the best ball playing around, with the exception of our first game, which proved an em¬ barrassment as Holston slipped by with a last min¬ ute run, putting the score, 2 - 1 .

Before we knew it, Abingdon was tied for the Number 1 title with Gate City. The ballgame of the century was a home game and Latture was filled with expectant supporters. It was a real downfall for us as we committed seven errors and Gate City walked away with the title. We didn ' t stay in second place very long, either, as Virginia High wiped us out a few games later by 3 runs. We dug our heels in and stuck to our third place title. District play-offs started the third week in May. Graham was eliminted as we stepped ahead of the G-Men, 3-2. Virginia High proved a more formid¬ able foe and it took 14 innings and a lucky hit for the Bearcats to beat us, 1 - 0 . It was a great season all the way around for AHS. This was the best win¬ ning record in the scorebooks and Jim¬ my Keyser was the first Southwest Virginian picked for the VHSL All-Star game.

Things didn ' t always shine for Falcon cheerleaders, however. Insults were often added to injury after disastrous ballgames, and it was hard to keep a smile on amidst the trails of tears and running mascara. Chanting through rain, cold winds and stuffy gyms, the girls stood by our teams with the frequent We Believe cheer, which helped liven up flagging courage. They also decorated lockers and the gym area with spirit signs to show our athletes they had people who cared.

Regionals were held at Marion High and the team was filled with tense ex¬ citement and anticipation. The day wasn ' t all fun, though, especially dur¬ ing the 50 yard dash. Ernest Hall ran the fastest time in his heat, but two boys from Tazewell beat him, putting him in 3rd place. Our Olympians didn ' t have the op¬ portunity to participate in state level track and field due to adverse weather.

Intermediate Band 85 It “Ain’t” That Easy Just publishing a yearbook is not as simple as it may appear. For the first time, the staff became a credited class and along with the new class the new editor was a junior. Writing and rewriting copy and captions, com¬ pleting advertisement sales, taking pictures, meet¬ ing deadlines and sponsoring the Faculty Frolics for a circulation campaign stunt were few of the things we did. Putting a yearbook together is endless work but well worth the effort after the Beacon is published. With his camera by his side David Blankenship rests after finishing a photography assignment. Being editor of the Beacon is not an easy job. Jackie Atkins decides on which picture to use on an intro¬ ductory page.

Homecoming 91 A Nightmare Fades The dance began on a sour note be¬ cause we couldn ' t escape the memory of the 48-0 devastation dealt to us by the Richland Tornadoes. Soon the nightmare faded when jerseys were exchanged for blazers, players and their dates joined the other couples in the atmosphere of ivy and candles of Today, and everyone danced to the vibrations of the Wells Brothers, Leigh Johnson and her date dance to the sound of the Wells Brothers. Kari Gardner and Mike Comer step lively to the music. 92 Homecoming Dance Melissa Abel and Frankie Smith enjoy the slower dances. Beth Cooke and Jeff Hawley take time from the dance to rap .

Sadie Hawkins Dance 93 Celebrate, Celebrate! Spirits were ignited like Christmas candles when couples entered the festive setting of holly, tinsel, and mistletoe at the Interact Club’s Christmas Dance. A fabulous band like Ambrose and the season itself were enough to cause the merriment to become contagious, but when we realized that for two won¬ derful weeks we could forget school, we really did celebrate, celebrate, and dance to the music. Amy Ryland and Keith Peters show their style of dancing, while Phil Shaffer looks on. Tammy Morris and David Shortt move to the Bump. While the band played, many couples danced to the music. Allen Harris and Amy Stringer take a break from the action. 94 Christmas Dance Cupid’s Bow Still Makes Beautiful Music The spinet played the minuet in 1776; the brass and vocals of Shady Oak played music to bump by in 1976. Even though music has drastically changed in 200 years, love hasn ' t. Roses, music,can¬ dlelight and her sweet guy are all any girl has ever needed to make her Val¬ entine ' s Day perfect. Our sweetheart dance sponsored by the Key Club on February 14th was very special--in fact, perfect. The soft glow of the candles and the decorations transformed the cafeteria into a very romantic setting. Couples brushed past the red and white streamers and onto the dance floor where cupids, suspended from the ceiling, spun slowly. Perfect evenings must end all too soon, as this one did; but when the glis¬ tening trumpets had been packed into their cases, lingering good-byes had been said at front doors, and corsages had been pinned on bulletin boards, girls continued dancing slowly in the arms of their dates, reveling in the haze of sweet memories. 0 i ,.9L W L, 1 Valentine Queen Stacy Shaffer and her Court, Kathy Roark, Kathy Gentry, Audrey Ratliff, Margie Pinkerton, Peggy Kimberlin, Leisa Wright, and Susie Arrington smile in the midst of hearts and cupids. Valentine ' s Dance 95 A Sign Of Spring Tedious work produced unique ef¬ fects for the Spring Formal sponsored by the NHS. Pieces of April was the theme which helped set the atmosphere of Spring. The smell of flowers and burning candles along with the boogie music of Zapper filled the cafeteria. The senior court yard was transformed into a lovely garden where couples came for fresh air and enjoyment of the impressive fountains. In the kitch¬ en, punch was being prepared and sandwiches and brownies were decora- tively placed on trays. The dance was highlighted by the crowning of May Queen, Miss Leisa Wright. As the hours passed away and twelve o ' clock rolled around, all the once fresh flowers had become wilted and the remainder of the candles and dec¬ orations were taken down, leaving tattered pieces of April. Miss Leisa Wright was crowned May Queen by Mr. Brown at the Spring Formal. Our traditional Spring Formal was a great success, as the dance highlighted and announced the com¬ ing of spring. The May Court, consisting of representatives from grades 8 through 12 were: Miss Karen Owens, Miss Susie Arrington, Miss Audrey Ratliff, Miss Kathy Gentry, Miss Peggy Kimberlin, Miss Cathy Roark, Queen Leisa Wright, Miss Stacy Shaffer, and Miss Margie Pinkerton. 96 Spring Formal While most students are dancing, others must work behind the scenes to assure a successful evening. Bobby Remine and Jeff Ohlrich fill the punch bowl with a delicious fruit punch. Denise McMillan and Jim Kelly take a moment away from the dance floor to enjoy the cool, elab¬ orately decorated courtyard. Loud music and fast rhythm are part of the fun in school dances.

Spring Formal 97 Delicious Rewards Everybody just grinned like a mule eatin’ briars after he went through the cafeteria line and enjoyed the wide variety of tempting foods, ” observed one member. The banquet room at Statzer-Stout Cafeteria had been re¬ served to accommodate members, parents, and special guests of the fu¬ ture farmers. Hours of hard work paid off when award winners were recog¬ nized--Star Chapter Farmer, Star Greenhand Forestry, Judging Team, Dairy Judging Team, Tractor Driving Contest, Honorary Membership, and Foundation awards. Since all could not attend the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, we had a slide pre¬ sentation and tape recording of the farewell speech of the National FFA President, Alpha Trivett, a fellow Virginian.

Latin students performed skits, a soap opera, a Roman newscast, and a folk dance as the entertainment for the guests and other Latin students. The evening was topped off by a perform¬ ance from an ETSU band. For the first time, second and third year students enjoyed buying first year students as slaves. They catered to their master ' s needs during dinner. Afterwards, trays of fruit and cheese were brought by slaves at their master ' s request. Mrs. Pless and Sandy Johnson exchange partners in part of the Roman dance. Much time and full co¬ operation went into this portion of the entertainment. Latin Banquet 99 Candlelight Roses The Future Homemakers of Ameri¬ ca held their annual installation ser¬ vices in May in the school library.

' 4 Fine Food, Fun, Fame, And Frolic No matter what instrument you played or if you were in the A or B Band, the invitation was open for you and your date to attend the Band Banquet. After a terrific meal, Mr. Mick¬ ey Tyler gave various awards to out¬ standing Band members for partici¬ pation in county and regional Band, work-shops. Band camp, and other activities. After the awards, the A and B Bands gave a concert for the public. Both bands performed music from their concert festival arrangements plus A Tribute to Jim Croce. The A Band added to their presentation, A Walt Disney Showcase. Relaxation followed when an in¬ formal dance was held for the mu¬ sicians and their dates.

Twenty-nine outstanding people were recognized for their contributions in every varsity sport from football to girls track. After the presentations were made, a cande was held in the cafeteria to finish the event. Better bands have graced A. H.S. Dances, but every one tried their best to ignore the music and still enjoy an otherwise delightful evening. Mr. Roy Gregory, Mr. David Brown and Mr. Warren McCray, proud parents of the athletes, receive their food as they proceed to the gym.

The play Game was performed at Graham High School in Bluefield, Virginia, where we received a rating of excellent Game, ” written by Barry Meehan, was directed by Mr. Pat Smith,, His direction was outstanding; he encour¬ aged the inexperienced and revived the cast during moments of frustration and fatigue. Working on the play proved to be a moving experience for most members of the cast. The actors had to work side by side. Unity was of the essence. Only with cooperatiion and consideration for each other could the actors make the play such a success. Understanding the inner, hidden meaning of the play was also important to the actors. Game” emphasizes how seriously people make games out of all they do, and how the thrill of a game can overrun one’s common sense and judgment. Herbie Ellis, the Player of the game, sets up the goal, his height of achievement. Setting obstacles on the hop-scotch board for the player, Brad Ellis, Umpire, takes care in positioning the boxes.

The boys (and girls) soon learned about welding, carpentry, wood working, and metal working. The students who were in their last two years were able to join the co-op work program. This enabled them to work either at jobs related to agriculture or on their own farms. Jeter Cook has talent when he does a job requiring patience, strong arms, and steady hands. Here he cuts a piece of steel. Nathan Saltz, David Casey, and other agriculture students, clean out the dust collector outside the shop. Darrell Holman is enrolled in Production Agriculture IV. He is using his arc welding skills to construct a motorcycle trailer. Students in Agriculture IV are instructed in farm management, plant and animal production, soil and water management, engine maintenance and tune-up, gas heli-arc and arc welding, wood working and many other areas. Gary Thomas and Rocky Thomas operate the metal lathe in a very relaxed manner while Rick McIntyre uses the sander. Tim Campbell watches John Fern use the jigsaw to follow the pattern drawn on plyboard. Students in Industrial Arts classes are proud to display the fin¬ ished product. Machine Operators Pass Safety Test I made a motto to hang on the weight room wall , proudly boasted one student, but first we had to study safety procedures, learn to operate the machines and pass the safety test before Mr. John Garrett would turn us loose on saws, sanders, planers, elec¬ tric drill presses and lathes. At least we didn’t have to sit in a stuffy classroom; we could learn by doing. Lawn chairs, picnic tables, lamps, gun racks, and picture frames were displayed one Saturday in the shop. Tommy Abel knows where to get expert advice on plans for a project. Mr. John Garrett gives thought¬ ful consideration before an answer.

Clerk Typing I and II, or Business Block, as they are better known, lasts two periods. It includes typewriting, bookkeeping, filing, machines, and business com¬ munications. Students have new equip¬ ment and furniture including swivel chairs which, it has been discovered, can be turned into race cars or merry- go-rounds. This course and Shorthand I and II even required a special elec¬ trically wired room that was not ready when school started so the would be secretaries got their exercise with a daily walk to the Neff Center.

Modern Facilities — Assets To Learning The William N. Neff Vocational Center is one of the most modern voca¬ tional facilities in Virginia. During its first year in operation, students took every opportunity to get scheduled for the offered courses. For three hours a day, students received 2 1 2 credits toward gradua¬ tion and essential training in fields ranging from cosmetology to carpentry. Modern technology brought students into contact with machines such as the Kodak printing machine as an up-to- date asset in development of necessary skills. (continued on page 116) Raymond Hurd sands down a county truck while Mark Fulton finishes taping down the protective newspapers. Vocational Education 115 (continued from page 115) Cosmetology was the only three year course that enabled us to go straight from graduation to a state board exam. Nursing offered a student the chance to become a licensed practical nurse after two years of Neff Center training and one year of on-the-job hospital training. Some have said that the new voca¬ tional center is the best thing to happen in Washington County; others have said, You have to experience it for yourself!

If one walked west on the second floor, he enjoyed and admired the talent of the art students displayed in pastels, charcoals, water colors, and oil. Sculpting, wood carving, and crafts such as knitting, crocheting, and needlepoint were additional offerings of the department. In art classes, the expression of oneself began with an idea, then went through many experi¬ mental changes to become a masterful creation. Louise Lewis and Donna Robinson use their talent at water color painting, while Bret Jones does fingerpainting. Tammy Lloyd concentrates on doing a pencil sketch of a wild turkey during her art class. It takes pa¬ tience and a steady hand to create such artistic P ie °es. Art 119 Superior Ratings Really Worth It All Long hours, sunburns, blistered feet, sore lips, and Mr. Tyler ' s en¬ thusiasm at band camp in Maryville, Tennessee, was enough to make us all become more determined to work hard for the superior ratings we received at the Chilhowie Festival and Bristol Field Competition,, The band didn ' t give up after march¬ ing was over.

A good grade, and sometimes a mone¬ tary award in a contest encouraged the more alert scholar who wrote composi¬ tions and did projects depicting bicen¬ tennial themes, others wondered What ' s the use? The authors gave us food for thought but a knowledge of grammar and com¬ position made the diet more tempting.

Things took on a rosy hue when we started planning summer trips to Europe and students not enrolled in foreign lan¬ guages seemed green with envy.

After that, Phys. Ed. seemed more like recess than a re¬ quired course when we thoroughly en¬ joyed playing soccer, softball, basket¬ ball, volleyball, and other sports. Honest-to-goodness classwork came in the form of studying health, first aid, and the driver ' s training manual. Girls in Driver ' s Ed, Class look for instruction from the teacher.

A Chemical Dessert Classes not only involved blowing up test tubes and recording weather statistics, but included experimenting with and investigating many aspects of science. Students who had a broader interest could dissect fish, to learn more about living organisms, fly paper airplanes to study air currents, and make ice cream to study chemical processes. An advanced science class, new to the curriculum, allowed students to do independent studies.

Because of crowded con¬ ditions and students using the library for a place of social gathering, a stricter system regulating attendance was enacted. Individuals, eighth-grade classes becoming familiar with the resources of the media center, and seniors doing research papers found a valuable store of knowledge in newspapers, maga¬ zines, records, filmstrips, films, and books contained in the library. Now the proper name is no longer library ; it is media center” because it is a center for a large variety of useful media. Dean Casey and Timmy Hughes are seeking addi¬ tional information about their environmental science project. The students of Mr. Locke ' s environmental science class are busy working on their reports. Lunch study can be a bore sometimes. You can ' t study that much in 25 minutes so some of us don ' t even start. Homesteading The Land Of Opportunity Silence is golden was the motto of all study hall teachers. Sometimes their wishes came true when everyone decided to sleep, but sometimes things really got exciting when a student sat down and the chair fell apart because the screws had been removed. Most study halls were held in the auditorium where there were no desks or tables. This gave students, who really didn ' t like the idea of studying anyway, an excuse not to. ft mJml miwM HR ' I if - 1 ' aCJil wmj i 1 1 7 ilWgk 1 V, d r ' wmmf Study hall can be a place of relaxation, hard work, and sometimes for catching a light snooze. These examples are clearly shown here by these students. Study hall does not look crowded in the above pic¬ ture; but, if it were not for the overcrowded con¬ ditions, we could have study hall in a well-lighted, well-ventilated room which had desks instead of auditorium seats. Study Hall 137 Active Involvement Enriches Knowledge Names, dates, places, and events were encompassed in Social Studies, along with learning how to deal with current problems of society. Students received first hand knowl¬ edge, through guest speakers and field trips. A visit to the county courthouse gave Mr. Roger Vanover’s third and fifth period government classes the chance to see how the local Board of Supervisors perform their duties. Mr. Henry McCarthy took his psychology classes to the Southwestern State Men¬ tal Institution in Marion for additional information concerning mental re¬ habilitation. Other events further advanced our knowledge. A mock trial in civics pointed out the ways our system of jus¬ tice works. A wedding in sociology gave an insight into American marriage customs. The showing of Civil War relics gave students a look at the pain and difficulties of that era. While in deep concentration over a question which has been brought before his class, Mr. Vanover is unaware of our photographer. Mr. James Fletcher brings history back to life as he enjoys a good laugh with his class. 138 Social Studies Michael Spiegler and Mr. Berkley Clear ex¬ amine evidence which will be used for a mock trial of Patty Hearst in civics. Mike Reynolds emphasizes a point in his six weeks psychology report. Students reported on such topics as child abuse, rape, and suicide.

For the first time, the class pro¬ duced potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and peppers in their own vegetable garden. The students prepared for a new event in the Special Olympics by learn¬ ing to swim at the YMCA in Bristol, Virginia. Ernest Hall and Patricia Raines straighten the can¬ vas over the seed bed while Ernie Riley, Wayne Murray, Mike Mumpower and Patricia Raines look over the field. Ernest Hall watches for the signal to dive in from the swimming instructor. The class went to the Bristol YMCA every Thursday for swimming lessons. Mr. Mike Sisk watches while Tommy Taylor ad¬ justs his earphones to listen to a record on famous authors. Tammy Raines, Wilma Dotson, Ronnie Norris, and Maggie Nunley study the history and govern¬ ment of their city, state, and nation in social studies. 140 Special Education Wilma Dotson and Thelma McCracken begin to do the Dead Man ' s Float while the YMCA in¬ structor looks on. Mr. Mike Sisk explains a fast and easy way to budget money to Wilma Dotson, The class learns to read graphs and tables, make correct change with money, and figure saleries and tax returns.

Special Education 141 :;X Memorial is a quote from the Gettysburg Address. “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us.. ” Education is a great task and it involves the dedication of each student, teacher, administrator, and staff member as “we take increased devotion to the cause “ Quality Education On Reduced Budget Monthly meetings of our newly ap¬ pointed group gave vent to problems in¬ volving budgets, including Governor Mills Godwin ' s 5% cutback in state funds; overcrowding, which was partially cor¬ rected by the erection of a new voca¬ tional school (within walking distance of our building); and textbook adoption. Patrons were appointed to current text¬ book adoption committees and a Blue Ribbon advisory committee was ap¬ pointed to evaluate the RESPONDING SERIES of textbooks as to moral and ethical appropriateness. Our major goal was quality education and good teaching conditions in comfort¬ able buildings. Dr. N. Grant Tubbs, Mr. John Copenhaven and Dr. B.G.

Broad Shoulders Carry Big Loads Many responsibilities fell upon the shoulders of our administration, but we had three men who were fully qualified to take on these tedious tasks. During the year many problems arose, including overcrowding, tardies, and skipping lunch study, but each was solved with time, effort and wisdom. Mr, Ralph Cox was the newly elected assistant principal. He was to aid Mr. Brown and Mr. McCarthy in their re¬ sponsibilities and duties as the authorities of the school. Observing the behavior of those students who are not involved in clubs is one of the many jobs of Mr. Henry McCarthy, the assistant principal who Being assistant principal includes more than sitting behind the desk.

The voice with the smile is usually that of Mrs. Peggy Hughes. The principal ' s secretary, Mrs. Shirley Landreth, also serves as cen¬ tral treasurer, and handles in a most efficient manner all requisitions and school finances. She also does book¬ keeping for clubs as well as typing Mr. Brown ' s personal correspondence. Attendance office secretary, Mrs. Claudia Blevins had to listen to tales of woe as she kept up with writing excuses, tardy slips, and keep¬ ing abreast with teachers ' regis¬ ters. Mrs. Leona Willis and Mrs. Peggy Wann kept up with attendance duties before Mrs. Blevins arrived.

It ' s A Great Life From Morn Til Night Life is real and life is earnest said the poet, but life is also teaching! A teacher ' s work is never done; some¬ times because the teacher doesn ' t do it and sometimes because that teacher has so many extra curricular activities that twenty-four hours is not enough time (not even with daylight saving time). Work included doing early morning duty, supervising lunch study, coordi¬ nating co-curricular activities, sub¬ stituting for a fellow teacher during your conference period then doing your lesson plans, grading papers and at¬ tending mini faculty meetings. Faculty meetings were planned in the A. M. PTSA, ballgames, and dances were conveniently scheduled in the evening.

Sometimes we felt like the Statue of Liberty-standing hard and cold on a lonely island, holding high the torch to the huddle masses and just doing what statues were meant to do. But being a teacher involved other characteristics. Within the framework of the Standards of Quality and local school board policy, a teacher was at liberty to help each student to achieve progress along the rocky road to education.

To see the gleam of accomplishment and under¬ standing in the eye of a student brought a satisfaction that was closely akin to happiness. This fulfillment was ac¬ cented by home, family, hobbies, and other personal accomplishments. Some were happy in knowing that the final requirements for a masters degree were in sight. Some knew the inner joy brought by the realization of a dream and some enjoyed breaking away from routine with photography, motorcycles, camping, sewing, gardening, and weddings-all in the pursuit of happiness.

In the two weeks of obser¬ vation they studied and memorized each student ' s name and face. Following through with what the reg- ular teachers had already planned was not the only problem student teachers ran into. They had to keep daily lesson plans, be prepared every day in case their supervisors just happened to drop by, learn to keep registers, and be responsible for discipline and order in the classroom.

Quite a switch--eighth grade guys winning girls from upperclassmen! That just showed that we could compete in lots of ways. Mrs. Joan Sutherland, Sponsor; Robert Brown, Pres.; Mark Durrett, V.

The junior women con¬ tributed to basketball with 11 players, volleyball and tennis with seven each, and track with eight. Front Row: Mark Hilt, Pres.; B. J.

Our class invented the Mad Hatters to boost our athle¬ tics, and took pride in ourselves when we won Spirit Week.

He lived with the family of Mr. and Mrs. Lowry Bowman. Among interesting places visited by Cesar were New York City, Boone, North Carolina; Williamsburg, Fredericks¬ burg, and Richmond, Virginia; and Baltimore, Maryland, the site of the Key Club Convention. Some aspects of our America which intrigued Cesar were snow, girls, ice cream, pizza, and fried chicken. He also enjoyed participation in football and track. He plans to attend college in the United States and to become an English teacher. Incidentally, upon his arrival here, Cesar wrote beautiful English but his speaking ability was limited. Cesar added a quiet warmth to the lives of those who knew him. For the first time, Cesar finally saw snow! „ v .. . r r A v 5 - ■ � M Five other AFS students visited Abingdon and Cesar in March. Front Row: Rukiye Yoltar, from Turkey, living in Marion; Alberto Camecero, from Argen¬ tina, living in Stratford.

He played varsity football and varsity baseball, and he won the school ' s Voice of De¬ mocracy Contest. Robert ' s respect for his teachers, loyalty to his friends, pride in his school, devotion to his family, and love for his country make it fitting that he be our bicentennial Mr. Abingdon High School. Peggy Sue Kimberlin, Miss Abing¬ don High, was a member of the NHS and served as Vice-president her sen¬ ior year. She participated in many organizations including the Sr. Tri-hi- y; both bands; the SCA, of which she was Vice-president her junior year; and the Civinettes, of which she was elected Lt. Governor at the State Con¬ vention. She was senior class Reporter and a favorite among her teachers and classmates. 199 Excitement Reigns On Athletes ' Day Pride filled the hearts of the ath¬ letes during the assembly. After the underclassmen had stood for the sen¬ iors, Carol Blevins, on behalf of the Junior Tri-Hi-Y, presented a Bicen¬ tennial flag to the school. The athletic director, Mr. Jerry Bishop introduced all the coaches who made presentations. One athlete com¬ mented My heart sank for fear of not getting a trophy, but then I heard my name called and my heart soared to my tonsils ... Team captains pre¬ sented championship trophies to the school. One coach praised his team They played the best; they beat the best; they ARE the best. Justified pride covers the face of Keith Peters, a man of many talents and abilities, as he looks at the Big A. viOCUTiov ,4 Darrius Carbary was recognized in the assembly and also at the Ath¬ letic Banquet. 200 Athletic Assembly Mr. Brown helps Carol Blevins unfold the American Revolution Bicentennial flag which the Junior Tri- Hi-Y presented to the school. Steve Prater presents the championship golf trophy to SCA president J.R. Davis who accepts it on be¬ half of the school. Coach Jerry Bishop, emcee at the athletic assem¬ bly, gestures to the next coach who had presenta¬ tions to make. Different coaches have different expressions as they also stand for the seniors to march in to the ath¬ letic assembly. Sherrie Hughes cautiously leaves the stage after having received her trophy for participation in intramurals, an early morning activity throughout the year. Valerie Home presents the girls ' championship track trophy to J.R. Davis while Gayle Rouse shares the information with the audience. Athletic Assembly 201 Achievement Awards Everyone crowded into the auditor¬ ium on May 31 to rejoice with fellow students who were recognized for aca¬ demic accomplishment.

Academic Assembly 203 We Danced Today, Tomorrow, Forever ’ After nine months of candy sales and magainze drives, the class of ' ll threw one of the most expensive and beautiful Tunior Senior Proms ever held. Abingdon Elementary became an outdoor garden with a large flowered trellis encircling a shooting water fountain as part of the decorations. Crepe Streamers hung from the ceiling an a canope of blue and silver stars. Ambrose stared as the band for the evenings festivities. It turned out to be an excellent dance with even the chap¬ erones enjoying the occasion. Teresa Counts and Doug Gentry enjoy themselves as they boogie to the music of Ambrose. ■ | . Mm f ' • fitf 1 Herbie Ellis and Debbie Lazear take time out from the activities for a cup of punch and some sandwiches. 204 Junior Senior Prom Although couples were amidst pretty surroundings, they found it necessary to step outside for a breath of fresh air.

Junior G Senior Prom 205 Seniors, Juniors Play In Our Town When we had cast all the interested Seniors, we solicited the help of ex¬ perienced, talented Juniors. Thornton Bowman really had his work cut out for him. Learning all the lines of the Stage Manager wasn’t easy. Marilou Moore and Howard Morris were Emily” and George , neighborhood sweethearts who grew up, fell in love, and got mar¬ ried. The rest of the cast also filled their quota of hard work during several weeks of practice. Under the superb direction of Mr. Patrick Smith, the amateur students gave a near profes¬ sional performance, which captivated the audience and helped to make OUR TOWN one of our school ' s best senior plays. Mr. Patrick Smith, director, had to work with lighting, sound, costumes, and properties. Here he prepares Zan Fugate with make-up. Donna Emmert has the delicate job of preparing Bob Re Mine to play the part of an older man. 206 Senior Play Mrs. Gibbs, Julie Gold, explains to her neighbor, Mrs. Webb, Pam Kaylor, some of her life long dreams of travel as they quietly sit stringing beans. t y Leisa Wright, assistant stage manager, assists the cast in preparing for a performance.

The deceased in the grave yard are: Bob ReMine, Julie Gold, Curtis Phillips, Debbie Lazear, Dorothy Inman, and Tony Easterly. „ ’ 7 7 Senior Play 207 Twelve Y ' ear Dream Cap and gown-clad seniors filed into the auditorium while some underclass¬ men stood to honor them and some stood to stare. After the invocation, highlights of the class history were re¬ viewed in prose form. Then the class poem composed by Zan Fugate and Mike Canipe received a prolonged ap¬ plause. Eager but anxious juniors lis¬ tened intently to the class will. A long list of senior superlatives was read by Terri Harris and seventeen seniors were recognized as thd top ten percent of the class. Even the faculty was in¬ terested in the class prophecy. Miss Linda Crenshaw sorts through the stacks of caps and gowns to assure each senior of getting what was ordered. Vice president Leisa Wright presides at the beauti¬ fully arranged banquet. 208 Senior Activities Valerie Home provides additional entertainment during the senior assembly by singing and providing her own guitar accompaniment.

I ' ll never know. We were glad that the whole program lasted less than an hour be¬ cause it was so-o hot in the crowded autidorium. Thoughts wandered to memories of the last twelve years es¬ pecially the more recent days which were filled with addressing anounce- ments, swapping cards, autographing memory books, picking up caps and gowns, having pictures made, leaving school, receiving graduation presents and writing thank-you notes like the English teacher said. I forgot to listen to the speakers. Oh, they ' re giving out diplomas; I do hope mine is signed properly ... So long, AHS. Almost graduates JoAnna Anderson, Lisa Andis and Terry Arnold listen to last minute instructions from Mrs. Jane Moore. Tear- and happy laughter come from graduates. Here Robert Phillips and Billy Mike Sweet con¬ gratulate each other for 12 years of hard work and fun.

History revealed that ’’experience keeps a dear school but a fool will learn in no other” therefore we were encouraged to learn from the mistakes and successes of other settlers. Horace Greeley advised ”Go west, young man, ” but many chal¬ lenging frontiers crowded our horizons.

Eva Leonard and Audrey Anderson concentrate on writing poems for the poetry workshop with Jeff Daniel Marion, poet in residence. The first place trophy sat on the counter in the office and only the few people who had exams on June 4 heard the announcement, Abing¬ don High School ' s Creative Writing Book has won first place in the Virginia High School League sponsored contest. Rob Campany won first place for his essayj Jennie Placak won first place on her poem; and Liz Bailey ' s essay, Eva Leonard ' s short story, Sandra Johnson ' s poem and Regina Harrington ' s short story were rated superior. Strict rules govern the preparation and submission of a creative writing booklet, observes Mrs. Jean Shelton, sponsor.

Every venture was not success¬ ful but it was profitable; we learned from our mistakes and tried again. The Spirit which led the settlers so long ago creates orbits of opportunities today. As Colonel James Irwin took the Falcon and enjoyed sixty-six hours on the sur¬ face of the moon, may you enjoy many years of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in your conquest of the frontiers of your future.
