Battle High School in 1964 and began quietly and competently to guide the transforma¬ tion of our library into a modern media center that has few equals among high schools of comparable size across the country. It was her conviction that the media center should be attractive, comfortable, and inviting, as well as up-to-date, well-organized, and functional. She is constantly on the look¬ out for new books, magazines, recordings, or filmstrips that are not only topical and relevant to the concerns of both stu¬ dents and faculty. Mrs. Duty has long been intrigued by the literature music, art and folklore of Appalachia. In response to recent renewed public interest in our regional history and culture, she sought and received a Title II grant for the collection of materials de¬ picting our Appalachian heritage. Thus, what began as a per¬ sonal hobby, spurred by Mrs. Duty ' s considerable initiative and hard work, culminated in our school ' s now possessing a unique, comprehensive, very valuable collection of Appala¬ chian literature, music, and artwork that can be envied even by larger, more sophistocated college or municipal libraries. Never complacent, however, Mrs. Duty continually seeks to add to the collection and to broaden the scope of its useful¬ ness as she does with other aspects of the media center. Each year Mrs. Duty co-sponsors the Library Club. Though Mrs. Duty is reserved and unassuming as she goes about her daily tasks, people close to her know that she is a warm, caring person with a delightful sense of humor. In appreciation for her dedication, her helpfulness, her re¬ sourcefulness, her efficiency, and her concern that the John 5. Battle students, faculty, and media center receive her best efforts, we proudly dedicate the 1976 PHOENIX to our librari¬ an, Elaine Tiller Duty. Yesterday is but today ' s memory ... and tomorrow is today ' s dream. 5 Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls,... ... and long were the nights of aloneness... But you children of space, you restless in rest ,... 8 ... you shall not be trapped nor tamed. 9 To wake at dawn with a winged heart 10 11 In your longing for your great self lies your goodness ... 12 .. and that longing is in all of you — 13 And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. 14 Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Yet, even at the begin¬ ning of their last year at Battle, seniors were inflicte d with that disease known as Senioritis . With this disease, seniors became very lazy and careless and would do any¬ thing to get out of class (but Mr. Fransworth, isn ' t it a senior privi- ledge to lay out of class?). But the strange thing about Senioritis was that it only affected seniors in classes, because seniors were very active in school events. They spon¬ sored many activities including Sadie Hawkins Day and Dance, The Greaser Day and Dance, a music assenbly featuring Chato and a talent show. During track season the Senior Class operated con¬ cession stands at home track meets. The class showed spirit worthy of the Class of ' 76 participating in Homecoming and Winter Sports. Senior students participate in community activities. Motto: FTold fast to dreams for if dream die , Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

We received our class rings toward the end of September of which we had or¬ dered in the previous school year. There were many different styles chosen for each individual through the Freedom of Choice Program. Our class was the first class at John Battle that has had the opportunity of this program. The magazine sale took place in October; it was a great success. The purpose of this sale was to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom scheduled to be held in April. Juniors participated in many school activities during the year. They showed great spirit at pep rallies, taking the spirit stick at some of the last ones. Juniors also took part in standardized tests at the beginning of school, College Day and Pre-College Boards. Ifa=bandc=d, then a + c=b + d.

On Teaching Administration No stranger are you among us. Mr. Farnsworth has been principal at Battle for five years. During this time he has initiated several pro¬ grams and policies that have given this school much to be proud of. Aside from his tough job as principal, Mr. Farnsworth is quite involved in athletics. Not only does he attend Trojan athletic events, but he also must be a spectator for Abingdon where his son, Bobby, plays. Outside of school he officiates ballgames and coaches baseball dur¬ ing the summer. Mr. R.T. Farnsworth, Principal Mr. Jim Rector, Assistant Principal 86 Faculty Gwen Barber Math John M.

On Self-knowledge Art Art students create masterpieces The Art Department provides art related studies and projects intended not only to develop student skills for creative production, but also to arouse the stu¬ dents imagination, to increase his perceptual and aes¬ thetic awareness, and to develop his appreciation of his cultural heritage. As a result of visual perceptions, efforts, and evaluations related to such project areas as drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, weaving, stitchery, macrame, sculpture, pottery, lettering and poster design. Students develop a sensitivity for the relationships of line, shape, mass, texture, color, space and other basic elements of visual design. Students do visually creative work while they learn about art of the past, about art related jobs and careers of the pres¬ ent, and about creatively satisfying art hobbies for constructive and sometimes financially rewarding use of spare time in the future. Deeply interested art students may join the Art Club which serves as an adjunct to the Art Department and its goals by sponsoring projects and field trips to art exhibits to aid student members in (1) experiencing and respecting individual creative art expressions, (2) becoming culturally and visually literate, (3) de¬ veloping bases for making aesthetic judgments, (4) communicating visually through skills and techniques, and (5) discovering relationships between the human¬ ities and sciences. Julie, you have talent! Voila! A masterpiece! Chorus Chorus students sing out at county workshop Students in all grades participate in the chorus. In the fall. Battle chorus students hosted an all¬ county workshop. The day-long activities were conducted by Bill Thomas. Although the day was quite tiring, the participants had a valuable ex¬ perience and made many new friends. All Regional Chorus tryouts were held in Novem¬ ber at Emory and Henry College. Ten Battle stu¬ dents spent a fun-filled weekend. Becky Nunez, Tom Childress and Danny Deskins were chosen for all regional. They will attend All-State try¬ outs in February at Pulaski County High School. Each summer chorus members are chosen to represent John Battle at the Virginia State Music Camp. Attending the camp last summer were Karen Millard, Sharon Halstead and Becky Nunez. Activities of the camp climaxed with special talent recitals. Becky Nunez performed a vocal selection, Maria , from Paint Your Wagon. Bill Thomas conducts all-county workshop. Kim Harper exercises jaws !! Chorus students prepare for Christmas program.

Students in grades eight through ten partici¬ pate in a physical education program as well as health education. Students in the tenth grade devote approximately one semester of their health class to drivers ' education. Activities in physical education classes range from team sports such as volleyball, speedball, and bas¬ ketball to individual activities such as track, tumbling and modern dance. This year for the first time the physical educa¬ tion department offered an advanced course for those eleventh and twelfth grade students who want to continue an organized program of physical activity. Activities for the advanced students were such as angling, sports related careers, outdoor recreation, and the individual sports like golf and badmitton. 9th grade girls roll for P.E. 98 Driver Training Students drive teachers to Bristol Ricky Wilson makes a pit stop.

After successful com¬ pleting 36 hours of Driver ' s Education, Bat¬ tle students may take part in Driver ' s Train¬ ing. During their behind-the-wheel train¬ ing, students devote 7 hours to observation and 7 hours to actual driving. Crabtree Buick povides John Battle with 2 cars each year to make this valuable train¬ ing possible. Students who have taken Driv¬ er Training are entitled to additional dis¬ counts on auto insurance.

Robert is math really that much fun ? 10 Gary is really getting after his math. Gary checks Scarlett ' s Algebra. Math classes explore new textbooks Math has become a very different course of study. No longer is math limited to arithmatic, many new areas have been incorparated into the math program. Students are provided with a wide variety of choices in the math department in order to accomodate their needs and abilities. Currently, a five-year college prepartory pro¬ gram is offered for students who show a great interest and talent in math. Students have found that calculatars somewhat help with their homework in math. Of course the calculator can ' t do all the work—there is still much to be learned in order to understand the principles of the mathmatical world. Students have many opportunities to become acquainted with new idea in math. Math Tony chews up pencil as he works problem. 101 Science Chemistry students brew Battle victory potion! Patsy and Cindy experiment with slides for Senior Biology. Science courses at Battle are laboratory oriented stu¬ dents are exposed to laboratory technics in early high school years. Courses include Science 8, Introductory Physical Science; Earth Science 9; Biology; Advanced Biology; Chemistry; and Physics. As a part of the learning experience, science classes took educational field trips outside of the class room. Eight seniors visited King College to explore their sci¬ ence department. Students interested in the sciences can participate in the independent study program. One lump or two ? 102 Biology students view the world under microscopes! Science 8th graders balance the day with science. 9th grade students leave it to identification. Science projects open many doors Devoted science students enter competition on dis¬ trict, state, and national levels by special research projects. Seniors can par¬ ticipate in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search which chooses the top 300 papers in the nation. For the re¬ gional science fair, held at Clinch Valley College in the spring, displays are made depicting the project de¬ velopment and findings. Winners at this fair attend the International Science Fair. Also some students are accepted at the state Virginia Junior Academy of Science and then have the honor of reading their pa¬ pers to be judged on a state level. What a day for a daydream. 103 Social Studies Emphasis placed on Appalachian studies A major goal in the teaching of Social Studies is the development of citizens who function effectively in today ' s society. There are ten courses offered to provide students with a wide variety of subject mat¬ ter. While students are required to take U.S. History (11) and government (12), they may take such classes as economics, sociology, world history, world geo¬ graphy, and psychology. With such a wide range of course offerings, there is always a great variety of activity. Throughout the year many guest speakers visited the different classes. During a special pro¬ gram in the area of Appalachian Culture, covering the history, religion, economy and people, students became quite involved in class projects. World his¬ tory classes prepared skits and presented them to other classes. Some of the government classes were given first hand experience at the polls, including time-out for the 18 year-olds to vote. Social Studies ' students take active interest in news.

During this bicentennial year, the social studies classes became quite involved in the celebration of our country ' s 200th birthday. Activities commemorating the bicentennial were many and quite interesting. English English students receive newspapers weekly Class discussions become heated. Eighth graders have Library orientation. The Battle English Department uses a sequentially organized program for grades eight through twelve. During the five year program, students study the various genres of literature and develop composi¬ tion skills. The Drama class emphasizes speaking and acting, giving the students many opportunities to develop their talents. Students encounter a wide variety of learning activ¬ ities. During the past year, several English classes received newspapers every Thursday for each stu¬ dent in the class. The newspapers were used in marry ways by students to learn most anything from capitalization to the importance of fact and opinion in a news article. The students were allowed to keep their newspapers when the lesson was finished. Other learning experiences have been revised to make English a more relevant subject. Donna works diligently with her newspaper. 106 English Oh, what a headache! Drama students present Christmas play Students who have exceptional interest and talent are encouraged to participate in the forensics program. They compete in such areas as prose, poetry, debate and pub¬ lic speaking. District, regional and state con¬ tests are held each year. Independent study has been made available for students who wish to earn additional credit in English. This program will provide open learning experiences for those who desire to pursue their interests in the field of English. Reading Students enrolled in the reading improve¬ ment dasses are given instruction in the four basic areas of comprehension, vocabu¬ lary, rate and study skills. Various materials and methods are used to enable students to improve their skills in these areas. Reading and study skills tests are administered at the beginning of the year to determine the needs of each student. The year ' s work is planned to meet these needs. Other forms of the reading and study skills tests are given at the end of the year to measure progress made and to see if there are further needs. Eighth grade students are placed in Reading I classes. Reading II classes are made up of students from other grades who elect to take the class. Most of the work in Reading II classes is individual due to the wide range of grade and abilities. Students improve their read¬ ing skills Reading I students work on general skills. 108 Can you read between the lines ? French students concentrate on Paris tour . The Spanish classes have had several special activ¬ ities and projects this year. The second level class prepared and served a Mexican meal for Miss Martin ' s Home Economics class. Also, the second level students made OJOS DE DIOS and dis¬ played them in the classroom. The first level students made pinatas and prizes ere awarded to the best four. Terry! Smith was first, Gladys Leonard was second, Alan Jones and Joe Weisenberger tied tor third place and Randy Johnson won fourth place. During the second semester, the classes also wrote and presented puppet shows. Many fun things have been going on in the French classes. During the Fall the French 2-3 class enjoyed an exchange with Mr. Garland ' s World History class to study the French Revolu¬ tion. In return Mr. Garland ' s class spent a few days touring Paris with the French 2-3 class. The French 3 class highlighted their study of French cuisine by preparing a French meal. The French 1 classes enjoyed a French Day at King College during the Spring. The foreign language classes combined their music talents to entertain the other students with caroling in the halls. During the year they en¬ joyed studying the foreign influence on the American Revolution. Foreign Language Ginger Barker works on her masterpiece. Wayne enjoys his meal!

Distributive education courses are of¬ fered for 10th-12th grade students. Al¬ though students enrolled in DE I have no scheduled job training, they learn about marketing, distribution, and employ¬ ment. The co-operative programs of DE II and III allow students to participate in classroom activities as well as on-the- job training. Throughout the year the students in DE have gained valuable insights into the business world through class projects and activities as well as their first hand job experience. Sophomore, junior and sen¬ ior projects competed in statewide DE contests in March. As a benefit of their training, the students earned money for the work done. At graduation the DE stu¬ dents are better prepared for the work¬ ing world with actual experience in a career. Randall stamps out high food prices. no Business Business students develop skills as career possibilities a,s,d,f, space... The business department has a seven- unit course offering: General Business, Typewriting I and II, Shorthand I and II, Bookkeeping, and Office Practice. Because of its personal-use value, all students are encouraged to take one year of typewriting. Vocational busi¬ ness students are urged to begin their curriculum with General Business in Grade 9. Seniors climax their training with Office Practice, which integrates all previously developed skills and knowledge into a practical course that includes filing, business machines, telephone techniques, and numerous other aspects of office work. Graduates are prepared for jobs in clerk typing, general office proce¬ dures, and stenography. Battle students rank high in competi¬ tion with area students. Within the last ten years, they have received 22 first places, 17 second places, and 14 third places. Jackie looks excited.

Horticulture classes participate in well planned occupational exeriences. Many specialized projects are undertaken by the students. One such project was the growing of pointsetta plants for the facul¬ ty at Christmas. Besides pointsettas, they also grew Easter Lilies, carnations and vegetables. Other classes in the Agricul¬ ture department are responsible for maintaining the campus area around school and the stadium. In the fall tobac¬ co is a big undertaking for the students in agriculture. Ag. students maintain campus area. Students size up planks. Girls gather green thumb techniques. 112 Home Economics Boys take active role in home economics I think Sally has created a monster. Students participating in the home economics program divided their year between the three areas — 1) foods, 2) clothing and 3) Housing, child care and family relations. They spent twelve weeks in each area, rotating teachers when they changed. Now we know where Kenny gets those clothes. A four-year sequential program in consumer and home economics is offered. Seniors who have not previously had home economics may enroll for Home Ec. V. This year, for the first time, boys were permitted to enroll in home economics. As these fellows found home ec was not sissy , it is hoped more young men will discover that home economics has some¬ thing for them. Home Ec. I students fascinated by demonstration from Neff Center. Many projects were completed by the home ec classes. The housing, child care, and family relations area focused on projects for the home, flower arranging and home nursing. The foods area dealt not only with food prep¬ aration, but equipment, kitchen planning, nutrition and food buying as well. Meals were prepared from basic breakfast to fancy enter¬ taining with foreign menues. The clothing area concentrated on clothing construction and textiles. Vocational And Technical Training The W. N. Neff Vocational Center, the newest facility in the Washington County School Division, is used exclusively for Vocational Educational offerings in trade and industry, health occupations and home economics. The facility covers 70,686 square feet of space and houses sixteen completely self-contained vocational lab¬ oratories, six classrooms, student services area, guidance department, a 300 seat multi¬ purpose room and supporting administrative areas. It is electrically heated, and with exception, of six laboratories is air conditioned. The student body is composed of 325 juniors and seniors from the four high schools in Washington County. The juniors, as first year students, attend the afternoon session, while the seniors, as second year students, attend the morning session. You have 5 minutes to get that back together and mow the yard. That dent is getting bigger! 114 Vocational And Technical Training Cary really concentrates on drafting. Students enjoy new facilities During the session of 1975-76, the pro¬ grams offered were—Auto Body Repair I and II, Auto Mechanics I and II, Carpentry I, Cosmetology I, II, and III, Drafting I and II, Electricity I and II, Health Aides I, Heating and Plumbing, Home Economics I and II, Masonry I and II, Practical Nursing, Printing I and II, Welding I and II. Students who participated in the vocational program received 2 V 2 credits for their work. The Center will offer two new pro¬ grams, Electronics and Power Mechanics, beginning with the school session of 1976-77. Freshmen and sophomores from Battle participated in the Pre-vocational program at the old technical school. The program is designed to be exploratory in nature with offerings in beauty aids, masonry, electricity, plumbing and auto body repair. Carolyn finally learned how to make her bed.

I Believe was the motto of the JSB varsity football team in the latter part of the 1975 season, and believe they did—those words were written on each helmet beginning with the Grundy game, and the Golden Wave went down in a 34-6 defeat. The next week at Graham the Trojans lost by only one point (20-19), but the G-men will long remember the believing Trojans. The I Believe Campaign stirred great spirit prior to the Gate City game. The Trojans played a great game against the tough Gate City team. The Trojans were a young team in that there were only 7 Seniors, so the remainder will be returning. Of those returning will be a rapidly improving Sophomore quarterback. Battle was not only young, but they are versatile with 8 players on both the offensive and the defensive team. The 3-7 season was definitely not indicative of the way the Trojans performed during the sea¬ son. If you saw them play, you un- doubtably said I Believe ! Meade scrambles for yardage.

Trojans put on a fine show winning 8 to 6 against Patrick Henry. While this was the J.V. ' s only victory, they kept their Trojan spirit and put forth a fine effort for every game. Even when they had first and goal on the 5 and ended it with 4th and 75—Trojan spirit never died!

The 8th grade football team, behind the running of David Schor and throwing and kicking of David Owens, finished the season with an excel¬ lent record of 5 wins 2 losses and one tie. Up front in the trenches, the team was led by Glenn Wright and Butch McMurray alternating at center, David Henry and Alan Barker — guards, David Kiser and Tim Taylor — tackles, and Ronnie Hensley and Jeff Combs as ends. The future of the Trojans appears bright, as the youngsters defeated a tough Marion team twice by scores of 15-12 and 24-8. They also defeated the Blue Devils from Gate City 6-0. Although the team had a winning season, nu¬ merous key players were injured.

Faced with the task of rebuilding after the loss of many lettermen, a young Trojan cross-country team worked hard and performed well during the season. The team put in long hours and many miles of practice to overcome this lack of experience. The highlight of the season was winning the Washington County Championship for the second consecutive year. In other action, the team defeated area rivals Gate City, Abing¬ don, Patrick Henry and Sullivan Central. In its strongest effort the J.V. team edged Tennessee High by one point in the Big Six meet. The Tro¬ jans finished out their season with a third place in the Southwest District Meet on Oct. 25 and a seventh place in the Regional Meet at Carroll County. Glen Long was the outstanding runner for the team. He won trophies in the county and district meets, set the school 3 mile record of 16:49 at Carroll County and was named to the All- Southwest District Cross Country Team. Other top runners for the team were Jayde Fleenor, Donny Sullivan, Darrell Simcox, Gary Cole, Ben Abel, Ricky Johnson, and Mike Grubb.

The team con¬ sisted of six sophomores, two juniors and three seniors. This accounted for the lack of ex¬ perience and skill that haunted the team throughout the season. Nevertheless, the team learned from their mistakes and that is one of the gains to experience. The Trojan scoring was led by Ronnie Mullins, Marty Eads and David Pennington. Next season should be promising for the young Trojans.

Trojan matmen take important victories While wrestling is an individual sport, the total scores determine the winning team. The combined individual efforts of the wrestling team turned out a winning season for 1976. The team had important victories over Va. High, Abingdon, and Patrick Henry. Al¬ though the Trojans put up a tough fight against Tenn. High, they suffered defeat by just 7 point. Contributing to the winning effort were matmen, Tim Carter, John Sproles, and Mike Shankel who held exceptional records. With only 2 seniors on the team, the ' 77 season should be a good one.

Some of their big victories were against Gate City (5-0, 10-5), Ketron (6-3), Marion (4-1, 4-1). While all team members contributed to the winning season, special recognition goes to Darrell Dyson, for his out¬ standing pitching, and Darrell Messer for his overall effort.

This year ' s team was extremely young with only three re¬ turning players with varsity experience. But using all they had plus their Trojan spirit, the girls showed a vast amount of improvement throughout the season. Also, to carry on traditions, the girls began the season with another new coach. Ad¬ justing to a new coach is one thing, but when the coach is a man, a whole new issue arises. Coach Wysor took over the con- sistant Trojan Globetrotters and with his encouragement, they gave every effort possible. Robin fights Grundy Wavettes for ball.

This year they returned home as the Outstanding Squad with Lori Branson named one of the Outstand¬ ing Cheerleaders of the entire Nation¬ wide camp. During the fall the girls sold leather key rings to help make some money for a new score board for the gym. The cheerleaders were in charge of the Homecoming pep rally and half-time activities, along with participating in the GAA Fiasco. During the winter, the cheerleaders sponsored the Winter Sports Festival to honor wrestling, basketball, and girl ' s Volleyball teams. The week long activities and hall decorations ended with a pep rally on Friday. Front: Lori Branson (Head Cheerleader). Second Row: Sandy Sproles, Amy Thompson.

Box 869 ‘An Equal Opportunity Employer Abingdon, Virginia 24210 The years you have spent in our midst ... 228 have become a memory 229 Farewell to you.. 230 .. and the youth I have spent with you. 231 Editor ' s Page Yesterday is but today ' s memory And tomorrow is today ' s dream. And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. Time passes and another year has ended. But even as it ends, the memories will remain an important part of this year, 1976—the year of the Bicentennial, special in its own way. Let us remember this year even as we look to the future with hope and longing. The year has almost ended, and soon we must focus our eyes on the future. But before we do, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the following people: the members of the 1976 PHOENIX staff who worked diligently often under unnerving conditions (such as a freezing room); Mrs. Sandra Kemmish our be¬ loved sponsor; Mr. Jack Cross the regional representative of the American Yearbook Company; and Alfred A. Knoff, Inc., for their permission to use the quotes from Kahlil Gibran ' s The Prophet. But most of all I would like to thank every person of this school for making this book and this year possible. And now, to the future . . . Best of luck next year, Becky! 232 AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS •- AUTOGRAPHS ' AUTOGRAPHS . ■ . AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS ' AUTOGRAPHS A T TTnr,D A D ' AUTOGRAPHS � ■ '
