Answer: The Trojan Pursuit. The Trojan Pursuit is a path to success. This path is not straight but branches off in many directions. The students must decide which to take. If the wrong one is taken, there will be chances to roll again, and travel in other directions. There are many challenges along the road of true Trojan Pursuit, but its uniqueness allows everyone to win. The only losers are those who do not play. Answers to all Trojan Pursuit ques- tions can be found on page 200. Barry Maines tries hard to follow in Mr. Keith’s footsteps.

THE DAILY PURSUIT: A LOOK AT A TYPICAL STUDENT 7:40 a.m. Woke up late, took a quick shower. Grabbed instant breakfast and dressed in car. 8:00 a.m. Forgot how to get to school. 8:05 a.m. Escorted to school by highway patrol- man. 8:11 a.m. Slipped by teacher just in time to hear my name called for roll. 8:55 a.m. Took history test; thought Lincoln was a car. 9:07 a.m. Never found homeroom. 9:17 a.m. Went to English class. Took Speeling test; think I passed. 10:03 a.m. Breaktime!! Didn’t hear bell, late for next period. 10:33 a.m. Substitute Teacher! Told her I was Pee Wee Herman. 11:07 a.m. Went to Spanish, everything sounded foreign to me. Noon Went to lunch, waited in line, all food was gone. 12:40 p.m. Took ice cream to Algebra Class in my back pocket. 1:22 p.m. Arrived to Chemistry on time! Fell asleep until awakened by a large “BOOM”. 2:15 p.m. Just got to Seventh period class. Teacher never came.

Monday’s “Pile It on Day” was the day students were encouraged to reach for extremes in clothing, jew- elry, or make-up. The reason for “T- Shirt Shade Day” could have been an attempt to get students to demon- strate their writing ability since everyone was encouraged to wear his t-shirt and bring magic markers for autographs. Wednesday’s “Crazy Day” had no purpose other than the wild fun of going beserk! Stephanie Cornette, the contest winner, illus- trated her brilliance in creativity by coming dressed as a cat. Tradition was not broken when the annual bonfire was held on Wednesday night at 8:00. Leather, chains, and greased hair were suggested for Thursday’s “Be Bad Day”. “Green and Gold Day” en- couraged everyone to wear the school colors. To add spice, the cheerleaders dressed as football players and football players dressed as cheerleaders. The week-long celebration ended with an assembly on Friday, September 27. Mark Andrews exhibited his rapid, yet piggish eating ability by winning the ice cream eating contest. Mr. Trojan votes were cast for the senior football player with the best looking legs. Faron Atwood’s “gorgeous legs” won this award by a landslide. All these activities helped to get everyone into that “Home- coming Spirit ”. The spirit continued Friday night when the football team gave their all against the Ashe Central Panthers. Our Homecoming Queen was Ronda Benge and Greta Adams was chosen as Maid of Honor. The band added a great deal with their perfor- mance and background music. The week’s festivities came to a close with the Homecoming dance, which was sponsored by the student council.

Alleghany High School offers many classes to prepare students for life after high school. Students can prepare for a career in business by tak- ing a variety of business courses. Typ- ing, accounting, marketing, short- hand, and office occupations are a few of the choices students have. For those wishing to enter the world of farming and other vocational jobs, classes ranging from bricklaying to agriculture are offered. Students wishing to go to college can prepare for college by taking advanced math, chemistry, physics, advanced biology, and advanced English. A fine guid- ance counselor and a staff of helpful teachers make it easier for students to choose the classes that will best prepare them for the future. The journalism class makes many difficult decisions, one of which is picking the right pictures for the yearbook (above). M rs. McMillan examines the finished product of Melissa Miles and Melissa Loggins. 11 Studying is just an excuse for Richie Gentry to be with Mechelle Luffman. Taking advantage of a quiet moment during lunch, Dawn Jarrett and Marc Easter catch up on the morning's events (top). Mr. and Mrs. Cornette take a break together in the lounge (above). ROMANTIC PURSUIT: THE DATING GAME How many minutes are spent each class period thinking, not about Shakespeare or Dickens, but of John, the football player, or Mary, the girl next door? Whether daydreaming of a hopeless crush or planning what to do during a shared period, Alleghany High School students spend a large part of the day dealing with the opposite sex. Flirting is the first step and usually leads to dating. Plenty are happy to watch from afar or plan their in- between-class routes to go by “the” locker as much as possible. Males with crushes often take on a puppy dog trait and follow their crush from class to class. These moments in school are not al- ways appreciated by everyone, but it is safe to say that “romance” will con- tinue at Alleghany High School. Laura Griffin has trouble deciding between Joel Sheets and Chuck Billings. Young love is illustrated by two AHS fresh- men, Julie Blevins and Armin Heravi. The courtyard is a perfect place for Scott Farmer and Sharon Worrell to enjoy a sunny fall day. The heart has always been a symbol of love, and at AHS it’s no different. 13 1982-1986: A PURSUIT IN NOSTALGIA M A S H airs final episode . . .

ALLEGHANY ACADEMICS EXCELLING IN ALL AREAS On these and the following pages are some of North Carolina’s finest adminis- trators, educators, and staff. From many hours of work and dedication come excellence in teaching, coaching, and ex- tracurricular activities. The teachers and administra- tors make decisions that affect us everyday. Careful review and hacking come from the central office and board. From this support emerge outstanding programs in our schools, sucn as our computer courses, the attendance policy, which resulted in the best record last spring in the state, the AP English program, our intramural sports events, and the upcoming renovation of the school. The ongoing con- cern for the welfare of the student body will continue to make Alleghany High School number one in education. Aiding Mr. Woodruff is Mr. Clarence Crouse, the Assistant Superintendent of schools. 34 Mr. George Keith, Principal, has introduced improvements and exciting innovations to our school.

CAFETERIA STAFF Our cafeteria staff works hard each day to prepare two meals for the students at Alleghany High School. Hundreds of students enter the cafeteria each day, and each gets a choice of what they would like to eat. Through it all, the staff manages a pleasant smile while preparing and serving nutritious meals. Larry Edwards is responsible for helping to keep both the inside anfl outside of our buildings tidy. CUSTODIANS The custodial staff is to be highly commended for the terrific job they do. Even though countless trips are made throughout the school each day, our janitors manage to keen our buildings and grounds neat. The good food and pleasant surroundings make the cafeteria a popular place for AHS students. Keeping the salad bar stocked is one of the duties of Anna Debord. Kathy Tucker is an asset, not only in the cafeteria, but throughout the school (above right). A familiar sight in our rooms is Harry Boone with his vacuum cleaner. PHYSICAL EDUCATION A wide variety of team and individual sports are in- cluded in the Physical Education Department. The freshmen health and physical education program provides many special activities such as those provided by the North Carolina Wildlife Commission and the Dis- trict Health Department. A six weeks course of driver education and a one week session of first aid is also in- cluded. Advanced physical education is available to grades 11-12 with a wide range of sports available. Some of these are football and soccer in the fall and softball and tennis in the spring. The weight training class is open to grades 10- 12. The weight training facilities have been im- proved dramatically in the past few years thanks to donations of equipment by Nautilus and the im- provement of the free weight room through student fund-raising events. 42 JROTC In August of 1983 the JROTC.' program was established at Alleghany. It is designed to teach self-reliance, leadership, citizenship and patri- otism, effective oral and written communica- tions, physical fitness, and a knowledge of basic military skills such as marksmanship, first aid, and drilling. In April, 1985, during the JROTC annual inspection, the cadets did so well that Alleghany was selected as an Honor Unit with Distinction. This is the highest award a JROTC unit can receive. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics program consists of six courses. Living In- dependently is basically an introduction to the other five courses. Advanced Foods teaches students to prepare holiday meals, gourmet dishes, and foreign foods. Advanced Cloth- ing teaches sewing techniques and garment construction. Advanced Child Care helps to prepare students for parenthood. Family Life is designed to help students face problems that may occur during their teen years. Peer counseling students have ten weeks of classroom training and then are assigned to work as spe- cial friends with students at Sparta Elementary School who are having exceptional problems. SCIENCE Louis Pasteur, centrifugal force, energy, and the Periodic Chart of Elements are just a few areas of scien- tific study at Alleghany High. By combining skills learned in laboratory ex- periments with the practi- cal knowledge learned in textbooks, science students gain insight into what makes the world go round. Whether it is Biology, Advanced Biology, Chem- istry, or Physics, applica- tions learned can be helpful in everyday life. The ex- periments and lab practi- cals used in developing science knowledge also stimulate creativity and make a person well- rounded. The abundance of wisdom that is learned in these various subjects is helpful in keeping abreast with the constant advance- ments in the world of science. -----—3 SPECIAL PROGRAMS The special programs at Alleghany High School are broken down into sections. The first of these is a special guidance program which includes the Children’s In- corporated program, the Mini-Stress Retreats, and other aspects of guidance. Vocational Cooperative Training is a part of the drop-out prevention program that helps students find jobs during the school day. Another derivative of drop-out prevention is the job opportunity program. Job placement and special services related to the needs and problems of the potential and actual dropouts are provided in an effort to reduce school dropouts. The fourth program is In-School Suspension which was im- plemented this year. Its purpose is to give in- dividual guidance counse- ling to those students who have problems operating in a normal classroom envi- ronment. The final pro- gram is Migrant math which is designed to help students of agricultural families improve their arithmetic skills. MUSIC In the past three-year period, the Music Department has come a long way and is constant- ly progressing to greater heights. Students have been recognized locally, statewide, and nationally. Several have repre- sented Alleghany County in both junior and senior high school All-State Band. The band received its first su- perior rating this year in marching band competi- tion. The band and choir perform at Christmas at Hanes Mall in Winston- Salem. The band per- forms in many concerts, parades, competitions and has received many awards and honors. The next plan is to have students in the choir audition for All-State Chorus. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE A wide variety of skills and courses are provided by the Vocational Agriculture program. Freshmen enroll in Fundamentals of Agriculture, which pro- vides instruction in dif- ferent areas of agricul- ture. The sophomores have a choice in Agriculture Production I or either Agriculture Science and Mechanics or Livestock Agriculture. Mechanics I and Agriculture Construc- tion are offered to the juniors. Seniors sign up for Agriculture Mechanics II or Agriculture Construc- tion II. Th ese classes develop individual skills and interests to help students reach their career goals. 43 SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department has the task of explaining the past and present, as well as help- ing the students to un- derstand the way gov- ernment works. This year several ninth grade So- cial Studies classes covered economics, political systems, geog- raphy, orientation, and current events. Also the Government class added Political Science to its area of study. The World Studies class was up- graded to a junior senior level in order to more closely link it to freshmen World Studies in college. Concerned with what our future holds, students who participate in Social Studies exhibit a genuine interest in what goes on in the world. SPANISH During the past several years the Spanish Depart- ment has been steadily im- proving and increasing its activities. The program’s biggest project thus far was the trip to Mexico last April. The trip involved touring Mexico’s most famous tourist attractions and was very educational for the students who parti- cipated. Also through the Spanish Department a Spanish Club has been formed. The members are students from Spanish I and Spanish II classes. Its objective is to promote and research a foreign lan- guage. The Spanish De- partment is becoming well rounded and plans are being made to continue with its improvements. 44 ■ui un DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Students learn responsi- bility and knowledge of the work world through the Distributive Educa- tion classes. Marketing, Marketing Management and Ownership, Market- ing and Merchandising, and Introduction to Marketing and Distribu- tion are courses that are offered through the Dis- tributive Education program. The second- year courses allow students to receive an apprenticeship-like education at Alleghany High. Students receive classroom instruction and then are assigned jobs in town in order to apply the knowledge that was acquired in class. This experience is valuable to those prepar- ing for a career in sales and merchandising. SUPPORT AREAS One important area in the school is the Guidance Department which serves the students in the planning of curriculums, jobs, careers, and financial aid. It also aids in personal and group counseling. Guidance is also responsible for the testing program which includes the SAT, various achievement tests, PSAT NMSQT, competency tests, and I.Q. tests. Other respon- sibilities include prepar- ing student transcripts, checking college applica- tions, and helping students with financial aid applications. A second important support area is the library. At any time of the day, students can be found enjoying the current periodicals, checking out books, or doing research for various classes. Audio- visual equipment is also supplied through the library. Without the in- valuable contributions of the library, Alleghany would have a difficult time in meeting the needs of its students. MATH Alleghany High School is very prou d of its Math Department. Its staff of ex- cellent teachers have done an outstanding job of preparing students for college and jobs. The courses include Pre- Algebra, Geometry, General Math II, Algebra I and II, and Advanced Math Calculus. A new class was added this year to the curriculum: Computer Technology II with emphasis on Advanced Math. The purpose of this course is to help the Advanced Math Calculus students develop program- ming concepts with math applications. There are twelve students currently enrolled. The Math De- partment continues to update its program to meet the needs of all of the school’s students. ENGLISH A very important part of the A.H.S. system is the English Department. In 1971, the English Depart- ment developed an elective mini-course program, and it served as a model for other schools in the northwestern part of the state. This program has been successful for many years. Later, the Department planned a curriculum for three ability levels for each grade. In 1984, Advanced Placement English was added to the curriculum for all four grade levels. This course is for the academically gifted student who is willing to work at an advanced academic level. English at A.H.S. offers hard work, enrichment, and the chance to excel for those students willing to accept the challenge. BUSINESS In today’s business- oriented world, modern business techniques are needed in order to advance. The Alleghany High School Business Department provides students with the oppor- tunity to learn business skills through a variety of courses. These include courses in typing, shorthand, introductory classes in computers and business, office occupa- tions, and accounting. Not only do the students learn textbook knowl- edge, but they also work in an on-the-job atmo- sphere so that they may experience what working in a business might feel like. Cooperative Office Occupations II allows students to work in spe- cial jobs so they will get actual office experience. By taking these classes, students feel that they have well prepared themselves toward ad- vancement in the busi- ness world. VOCATIONAL The Vocational Depart- ment has excellent shop facilities and classroom space. The class in con- struction industry con- sists of six, six-week courses: Carpentry, Auto Mechanics, Elec- tricity, Masonry, and Drafting. During the last six weeks, the students are allowed to return to the class they enjoyed the most. Year long courses are also taught in masonry, carpentry, electricty, drafting, and auto mechanics. In these courses, students get hands-on experience in areas such bricklaying, wiring houses, con- struction of buildings, architectural drawing, and repair work on automobiles. Very good student-teacher relation- ships exist in the class- room and shop. This allows the students to carry more responsi- bility. DRIVER’S EDUCATION The course in Driver’s Education is designed not only to help each student obtain his or her license but to produce the best possible drivers. One of the most important parts of the course is the emphasis on safe-driving skills. Stu- dents learn how to drive defensively rather than offensively. The course consists of six weeks of classroom work and six hours of actual road driving with everyone driving both in the country and in town. Driver’s Education func- tions as a part of the total school program rather than as a separate program. 46 hJ o H N S ! O Ph O H 5 C 3 PP Ph What club visited a foreign country during Easter? In 1985 Mrs. LufFman, Ms. Edwards, and Mrs. McMillan formed what is now one of the largest clubs in the school. What is this club? The Student Council sponsors a yearly art show. Melissa Lundy, Sarah Andrews, and Scott Crouse were all winners in the spring of 1985. Beta Club members take a few minutes to rest before the activity begins in the District meeting which was sponsored by them this year. 47 ANNUAL STAFF Changes made in 86 Trojan With only seventeen staff members and a new sponsor, it has been a challenging year for the Annual Staff. It was a time for new ideas and changes. A larger yearbook was chosen with more pages added to the length. In addition, some of the school history was incorporated into the yearbook in the form of “Trojan Pursuit”, the theme for 1985-86. For the first time, division editors were selected and shared in the responsibility and work for the underclassmen, sports, voca- tional, and activities section. This allowed the main editors more time to work on the opening sec- tion. Even though differences of opinion were common in the fall, the staff pulled together and worked hard. It is hoped that this yearbook will provide many happy memories for years to come. First Row — D. Bledsoe, M. Reeves, Mrs. Armentrout, S. Worrell, K. Worrell, R. Benge. Second Row—L. Gambill, L.

The officers provided guidance and assistance to all of the representatives who work with these events. The group helped to beautify the school by helping pay for im- provements to the cafeteria and also by painting the red window trim green. Other activities that were sponsored this year include dances, assemblies, the Citizen- ship Award, and a Christmas door decorating contest. Paying for these events called for money, and the Student Council worked hard to raise enough to support their causes. One fund raiser was a poster sale which generated a large profit. Together, the Student Council members created a better and more enjoy- able year for the entire student body. Sponsor—Kay Luffman Senior Representatives: First Row — S. Higgins, K. Worrell, G.

The Beta Club at Alleghany High School has had a productive year. The Club is composed of students who have an average of “93” or above. This year’s Beta Club was the host school for the 1985 Northwest District Meeting. At this meeting, the school was made proud in three ways. Javid Heravi was elected as District President, Melissa Crouse was elected as District Secretary Treasurer, and Greg McKnight was chosen for the Hannah Leitner Scholarship. The members sold doughnuts in order to raise additional funds for the State Convention in March. Other activities include the school store, decorating a Christ- mas tree in the main office, and holding a Christmas tea for the teachers.

Leanne Gentry carefully pins a carnation on Randy Andrews. The Homecoming Queen for 1984-85, Joan Bryan, passes the crown on to Ronda Benge. Barry Maines assists Melissa Williams with her coat. In early September, nominations were taken for the 1985-86 Homecoming court. Each class nominated many girls, but only two could be selected from each grade. Excitement was in the air as everyone waited for the court to be announced. Each of the eight girls then had to choose an escort. Dur- ing Homecoming week, the entire school voted to choose a queen from the court. On Friday, September 27, the football fans, filled with suspense and spirit, awaited the crowning of the new queen. At halft ime after the band had presented their program and the attendants were in place, Greg Bare named Greta Adams as Maid of Honor. Finally the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. Greg Bare announced, “And the new Homecoming queen is . . . Ronda Benge”. The crowd cheered as last year’s queen, Joan Bryan, placed the crown on Ronda’s head. Another Homecoming week had come to an end, but the memories would live on until the same magical night rolled around again for eight lucky young ladies. 57 ALLEGHANY Marching Band The preparation for the Alleghany High School marching banc! began with a band camp the week of July 29-August 3. This was designed not only for the football season but for the band festivals that were scheduled for the fall. It was hard work with fun mixed in at times, also. All of the time and effort did pay off for the members and Mr. Clark. On October 19, the band received a Division 1 rating at Indepen- dence, Virginia. Other competi- tions were held at Wise and Enka in September and October with the performances rating Division 2 at both events. The Concert Band traveled to Winston-Salem at Christmas to perform at Hanes Mall. This is an annual event anticipated by all members of the group. During the performance of the Auxiliary Corp at the Homecoming assembly, Stacy Shepherd concentrates on the music. The band camp held in July and August provided plenty of practice for everyone. Here Mr. Clark points out the proper position for a formation while members of the teaching staff observe. 58 First Row — A. Carico, R. Moxley, K. Truitt, L. Gambill, Mr. Clark, K. Rollins, E.

TRIPS Carnaby Street in London. England, makes an ideal setting for a group picture on the European trip of 1985. The Spanish students, along with Miss Vestal and Mrs. Smith, take a few minutes to rest during their busy tour of Mexico. 68 SPANISH CLUB Members Travel To Mexico The Spanish Club consists of students from the Spanish I and Spanish II classes. The members learn about Spanish life-styles, customs and traditions. Some of their activities include fun fiestas, “taco freeze-outs,” singing Spanish songs, entertaining at the Christmas assembly, and breaking pinatas for the holiday celebrations. A group of Spanish Club students took a trip to Mexico during the spring of 1985. On this trip, they got first-hand experience in handling foreign money and practice in using the language. This club hopes to travel to Mexico every two years to let all Spanish students have an opportunity to acquire this ex- perience. Spanish II: First Row— D. Caudill, S. Miller, J. Bledsoe, M.

These included fear, excitement, and relief. There were new opportunities for juniors, yet finding what was right for them as individuals wasn’t easy. The juniors had more freedom and privileges than they were used to. They were able to choose classes from a wider selection of offerings, and they were able to sit on the junior side of the gymnasium during assemblies. The prom was in their hands now, and they proudly received class rings. Best of all, this class had the respect of the sophomores and fresh men because they were finally juniors! 117 CLASS OF ’87 Lee Church Shannon Clark Mitch Cleary Janie Cook Jeff Cox Darren Cranford Donna Crouse Karen Crouse Melissa Crouse Michael Crouse Ricky Crouse Scott Crouse Tracy Crouse Craig Dancy Tracy Delp Lisa Dowell Becky Edwards Eva Edwards Glenn Edwards Lisa Edwards JUNIORS School is not always serious as shown by Miranda Bryan, Cindy Brinegar, Angela Carico, and Kurt Jordan, Mike Edwards Penny Evans Stephanie Evans Tammy Evans Elaine Fender Ricky Fender Amy Finney Michele France Leanne Gentry Richie Gentry Jennifer Gillespie Tony Greene Julie Griffin Randy Hawkins Stacy Henderson Javid Heravi Alex Hoppers Ward Howell Lynn Hudson William Hudson 119 CLASS OF ’87 IF YOU COULD BE anything or anyone, who or what would you be? — David Rash: Larry Bird or Chuck Norris. — William Hudson: The President. — Sandy Vannoy: a professional tennis player. — Timmy Vaughn: Al Davis, owner of the L.

A year of experience gave this class working knowledge of the rules. They rushed to get to class in three minutes and accepted the attendance policy. Since they had learned the ropes, sophomores showed their enthu- siasm at sports events and assem- blies, knowing enough to stand when the seniors entered. Un- fortunately they could no longer use the excuse of being a freshmen as far as academics were concerned. Assignments had to be turned in, no matter what absurd excuses were given._____________________ Tammy Crouse Todd Crouse Robin Dalton Linea Dixon Shannon Dixon Ashley Doughton Tammy Dowell Bob Duncan Darrell Duncan Christian Dysart Kent Easter Darrell Edwards Lisa Edwards Ruby Edwards Carolyn Eller 126 SOPHOMORES Sammy Evans Terry Evans Michael Farmer Stephanie Farmer Paul Fender Chris Finney Darren Gilbert Tanya Greene Terry Hale Lisa Halsey Patrice Halsey Leslie Heath Staci Hendrix Clifford Hodge Treva Holloway Jamie Hopson Andrew Howell Gary Howell Gene Howell Angela Hubbard CLASS OF ’88 Jeanne Irwin Shelly Jansen Allen Johnson Jeff Johnson Penny Johnson Machell Joines Bonnie Jones Danny Jones Brian Kinsey Jake Landreth Anna Linville Mark Loggins Mechelle Luffinan David Maines Michael Maines Evon Maxwell Melissa Miles Sheila Miller Tammy Moxley Tommy Moxley Kenny Smith and Frank Proffit listen as Andrew Howell tells the latest joke.

It was during lunch when you were trying to stop a food fight, the same day your wife had the baby.” “The weather report was for snow today.

It’s not as bad as it sounds. 134 FRESHMEN Although students are not permitted on the second floor during lunch, Beth Sturdivant and Lynn Brooks try to bend the rules (far left).

They were now on the bottom rung of the ladder. New rules had to be learned and accepted: no more than ten days of absences per semester, in-school suspension regulations, and only three minutes between classes. Eighth grade big shots learned to defer to the upperclassmen. Going from elementary school privileges to freshmen inconveniences didn’t make much difference to most freshmen as long as they could say, “I’m in high school.” Tina Jordan Burton Kennedy Joey Kennedy Jason Lambert Joyce Lineberry Sylvia Loggins Jennifer Lundy Teresa Mabe Sonja Maxwell Donny McCall Toby McCaskill Pat McMillan Renee McMillan Randy Moody James Alan Moxley 136 FRESHMEN Jamie Moxley Kimberly Moxley Michelle Murphy Nesie Musgrove Anthony Neri Penny Nichols Travis Osborne Glenna Overbay Jane Parsons Mark Parsons Teresa Parsons Bradley Perry Angie Petty Sherry Poe Tommy Pollard 137 CLASS OF ’89 Jimmy Poole Thomas Poole Carolyn Pruitt Amy Reynolds Julie Richardson Kenneth Richardson Valerie Ritch Jerry Roten Jackie Royal Franklin Simpson Glen Sawyer Danah Shaw Jamie Sheets Missy Sheets Stephanie Shew FRESHMEN Adam Woodel Chris Wyatt Tony Sidden Michael Simons Ray Smith Michael Sprinkle Scott Stoker Beth Sturdivant Kenneth Tate Brenda Trivett Michelle Upchurch Jamie Vestal Beverly Waddell Jeffrey Ward Dwayne Washington Melissa Williams Robin Williams ) Finding the right book for a science project is no problem for Jennifer Lundy. 140 Who were the five members of the yearbook staff who got in trouble with Mrs. Armentrout when they lost their advertising receipt book?

From the first day, Mr. Felmet set out to become a part of the school and community, and the people of Alleghany County grew to admire, respect, depend on, and love him. His work and influence will be missed in both the school and community, and Will Rogers could have been speaking of Jack Felmet when he said, “You must judge a man’s greatness by how much he will be missed.” September 22, 1939 March 28, 1986
