DEDICATION We, the graduating class of 1974, wish to recognize the teacher and sponsor who contributed much to the success of our class. As our sponsor, he encouraged us to plan projects and to carry out our plans. As our teacher and friend, he never lost faith in us as a class or as individuals. It is with gratitude and affection we dedicate the 1974 Lance to MR. WILSON TERRY.

Officers were elected by the student body and members were delegates elected from homerooms and clubs. Looking back over the year’s work the group and sponsors felt pride in their progress and accomplishments. They tackled problems affecting the school and attempted to help solve them. An example of these problems was the hall traffic between classes. SCA members spent their study hall periods as hall monitors. The senior lounge became a reality un- der SCA sponsorship. To inspire more enthusiastic club work, the SCA insti- tuted The Outstanding Club Award. Dean presided over several assemblies, and students felt that the SCA was alive and working.

Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y are both Chris- tian organizations with high stan- dards. Many of their activities are outside of the school and are associ- ated with the Virginia YMCA. Both clubs participated in the Model General Assembly in Rich- mond. Each club had members to go as Senators or House members. It actually took place in the capitol building in the Senate and House Chambers. Both clubs presented bills. Tri-Hi-Y’s bill concerned the establishment of half-way houses and Hi-Y’s bill was a plan to put a student on the school board. Each bill was debated and each passed. The bills that pass at MGA go on to the actual Virginia State Senate and House and are considered to be made into state laws. Other joint activities included a trip to Junior Hi-Y Assembly at Ferrum College, a Walk for Mankind, a trip to District Conference in Covington and a Christmas pageant The Christmas pageant was not presented because of bad weather conditions, but much hard work and many hours of practice were put into it. Tri-Hi-Y sponsored a KOPE clean- up in the school. Members stayed after school for several days clean- ing bathrooms, blackboards, desks, and lockers. It was hard work but a lot of fun. It ended with a spaghetti dinner which was a nice reward for all the work. Members fixed tray fa- vors for the hospital for Christmas and Easter. They bought a turkey and gave it to the Welfare Depart- ment to be given away. The group also fixed a Christmas basket of toys and canned goods for a needy family in the community. The Hi-Y sold pillows to raise money to go to MGA. They were re- sponsible for putting up and taking down the flag each day.

New equipment had been added to the agriculture department and halls, restrooms and some classrooms had been repainted. In addition to their usual responsi- bilities, the faculty and administra- tion, after a year of self-study, pre- pared for the school evaluation in April. As a result of these efforts, the school may be approved for mem- bership in the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges.

Miss Mueller’s classes visited the VEPCO project where they collected rocks and information. “To Tell The Truth about Science,” “Science College Bowl,” and “Science Klassroom Kwiz” were three games that required work for the quiz masters and the con- testants. Individual and group projects such as building models of molecules, and conducting soil in- vestigations were an important part of the science program.

Nancy and Denise listen intently to Miss Palombo. The highlights of the foreign language classes this year were the visit of ex- change students and the celebration of Mardi Gras. Exchange students, Carlos Robles and Joao Paulo Bandeisa De Mello came in December and left in March. Carlos stayed with Dennis Myers and Joao with Mark Wheeler. The Mardi Gras was celebrated by both French and Spanish classes, al- though it is a French celebration. French III had many French dinners and went to see a play by Moliere in Charlottesville. French classes were visited by Pere Noel and Pere Fouet- tard at Christmas. Spanish classes were visited by the Three Kings at Christmas.

Library Continues To Grow Audio-visual salesman. Robert Swanson talks with Miss Gould about new equipment. Mickey keeps everyone informed of the time. Nfos Gould’s bulletin board is kept very full. 92 Curriculum All Students Enjoy Library It seems that Karen dislikes Beverly’s music. Reading the sports page in the newspaper is Ricky’s pastime. “The Nook” is very informational as Mary Lou has found. According to Miss Gould “Ulti- mately the library (media center) should maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning. Every indi- vidual should be able to experience knowledge in all its verity.” The library continues to grow each year. This year brought a new look along with addition of valuable aids. “The Nook” with information on jobs, colleges, careers was put in a comer of of the library. All its infor- mation, formerly in the guidance of- fice, became more readily available to students. With the addition of ETV many classes, particularly science and gov- ernment, enjoyed taped programs. Two viewing stations and three lis- tening stations were available for student use. Timely bulletin board displays helped to make the library more at- tractive and interesting. We felt that the librai-y deserved a good rating because it had “an at- mosphere conducive to learning”, and was the busiest place in school. Curriculum 93 Students Build Speed And Accuracy When students needed term papers typed or teachers needed tests typed, they hurried to Room 204. There, stu- dents in Typing I and 11 were willing and able to help. Students who began Typing I by learning the parts of the typewriter and touch typing finished the year typing at least 30 words a minute. Typing II stu- dents increased speed to at least 50 words a minute and learned to type various business reports and manuscripts. The principles of basic shorthand were learned in Shorthand I, and stu- dents could take dictation at 80 words a minute and transcribe accurately by the end of the year. The Shorthand II classes increased speed in taking dicta- tion to 120 words a minute, and learned to operate business machines. Typing II students heard a speaker from National Business College, took a typing exam given by Mrs. Agee from Dabney, and took a Civil Service ex- amination at Covington High School. Etephney and Jeanie take dictation from a record while Sue Ann types. 94 Curriculum A springtime bulletin board is finished by Julie, Debbie, and Susie.

The Charger band in uniform marehed down the hill and played for the first home football game of the season. That event proved to be the first of many successful events of the year performances at half time at home games, participation in Band Day at The University of Virginia, per- formance at District V Festival, prac- tice for concerts, and the presentation of The Spring Concert. Leaving after five years, Mr. Burtner had reason to be pleased with the growth of the Charger band. Thanks to his efforts and enthusiasm, and the work of band members and patrons, the school and community now could enjoy the music of their very own uni- formed band. Although the band is now a tribute to Mr. Burtner, its continued growth in size and excellence will be an even greater tribute to him.

Main St. Covington, Virginia YOUR HAPPY SHOPPING STORE 152 Ads After almost 500 years, the American forest is still three-fijurths as large as it was when Columbus landed. It’s hard to believe, but it’s a fact. After supplying so much of the material and the land to build America’s houses and cities and highways, after meeting our constantly gi ' owing demands for paper products, our forest is still 761 million aaes big. How have we been able to do so much and still have so much? In the first place, trees are a renewable resource. They grow back, again and again. In fact, about the only way to remove a forest permanently is to remove the land itself. By paving it, for ex- ample, or coverin g it with a lake. We’ve also been able to add to America’s present forest- land by reclaiming land previously lost to other uses, including millions of aaes of marginal fann- land. And to supplement natural planting, we’re planting trees ourselves: more than a million and a half acres of forest a year— and more than one tree for every ' tree we use. We’ve developed new methods to grow more timber faster on the same land base, too. For example, the forest products industry owns less than 9% of all the American forest. Yet this land provides the raw material iox one-third of our wood and paper products. A renewable resource, re- sponsibly managed. New forests. And better ways of growing more timber faster. Almost 500 years and a new nation later, they’re all helping to keep America green. And growing.
