As this school term opened, confusion existed every- where — Who is Mrs. Carter ! 5 Oh, it ' s K Karter! These were common sayings heard about the halls of Alleghany as the students and faculty first met. Then as the year began to proceed, the saying changed to I ' m so confused I don ' t even know what he ' s talking about! Not only was confusion expressed concerning the courses, but also the location of various parts of the building; confused eighth graders were assisted by equally confused upper classmen. Even the faculty at times appeared somewhat befuddled as they faced the changing sea of faces each class period. Everyone has met with confusion this year, and it has become a part of our memories of our first year together. Choosing the institution in which to further one ' s acade- mic interests and abilities proves to be a real decision for Kerry Ellinger and other A.C.H.S. seniors. . . . TO BE CONFUSED . . . As the school year opens, our students denote an air of confusion as they patiently wait for schedules and classes to be revised.

This was the year of selecting and deciding. One of the first decisions was faced by the seniors in choosing graduation announcements. After looking at various styles and talking with many representa- tives, the class of 1964 chose the first announce- ment for A.C.H.S. — one portraying simplicity and dignity. . . . TO ORIGINATE . . . Also, among the major decisions to be made this year was that of selecting a title for the yearbook The staff asked each member to submit a title, the winner to be announced with the arrival of the an- nual Taking the first two letters of the three words Alleghany County, Virginia, Linda and Carolyn Shel- ton presented the title ALCOVA.
