Mr. Walker Establishes Himself As Mr. Coo!” of Alleghany Mr. Walker ' s phone is kept busy as he tends to school business. Mr. Charles F. Walker During the past year Mr. Charles F. Walker ' s talents and time were divided by the many responsibilities of being assistant principal, head basketball coach, and school co- ordinator. His duties as assistant principal were capably performed, and having acquired the reputation of being a cool guy , Mr. Walker earned the friendship of the stu- dents. Each student knew that Mr. Walker could and would handle each problem that needed his attention, even though the student might be the problem. As school co-ordinator, Mr. Walker arranged non-con- flicting schedules for the clubs ' activities, such as bake sales, dances, and picnics. That ability to arrange non-conflicting schedules pleased the clubs thoroughly. Practice, practice, practice was his motto for the bas- ketball team as he demanded hard work and perfection from each player. Although practicing hard, the team en- countered an early season losing streak which was unshak- able throughout the season. Combining the qualities of firmness and joviality, Mr. Walker proved to be a great asset to the school. Jim Landis waits patiently as Mr. Walker writes him an absentee slip. Mr. Higginbotham is amused by Mr. Walker ' s inability to tie a necktie. 12

Mr. Cvizic Is Backbone of A. C.H.S. Administration Mr. Cvizic is hard at work preparing the school for the state evalu- ation in spring. Mr. Holbert confers with Mr. Cvizic about the activity bus schedule for the afternoon. As principal of A.C.H.S., Mr. Cvizic exercised firm authority in executing his duties. As usual he was a friend to everyone who behaved according to school regulations. To those who did not obey the regulations he became a forbidding image of authority. Because he always took a personal interest in the students ' well being, they could rely on Mr. Cvizic for advice or guidance whenever needed. Mr. Cvizic and Mrs. McCaleb chat as Mr. Cvizic sets up his daily work schedule. Mr. Ousan S. Cvizic Mr. Cvizic is caught in a relaxed mood as he talks to an office worker, Kathy Hicks. 11

Mr. Holbert Moves Alleghany Forward Mr. Holbert smiles after reading an enlightening letter. SCA president, Jim Landis, seeks advice from Mr. Holbert. Alleghany was inspired again by the presence of Mr. Charles Holbert among the administration and faculty. Mr. Holbert served the school as athletic director, transportation director, and science teacher. Although his duties were many and time consuming, they were carried out competently. The athletes and club members were once again indebted to Mr. Holbert for his organizing of activity bus schedules, which provided transportation home after school and his assistance in decorating the gym for various dances. Mr. Holbert ' s biology students were entranced by his knowledge of nature as they became involved in learning about Mother Nature and her children. 13
