Table Of Contents 2 We Believe . . .is more than just a slogan it was created in 1975, but it lived in 1976- 1977. We Believe is a part of everything we say and do — from our athletic events to our classes. We Believe became our slogan for 1976-1977. 3 We believe in friends. We believe began because we believed in each other. We had faith in friends, we learned the importance of sharing, and we understood that without love there is nothing. We soon discovered that believing was part of everything we did — beginning, growing, and ending with our friends. 4 love, and sharing We believe 6 in fads ra for however unusual they were, they penetrated JSB this year. Each of us had fads to believe in, and because we believed, these fads became the lifestyle of 1976-77. 7 We believe in The heart of the We believe campaign lies in TROJAN POWER and Trojan teams. For whether they are winners or losers, we believe in them as people who have given their Trojan best. 8 Trojan Power 9 ns We believe 10 l M r 1 £■ ' HI Ik $ a There would be no Trojan Power if we didn ' t believe in food. We believe in french fries, hamburgers, ice cream, that wonderful coke machine, and all those candy and bake sales — all of these things made our days so FULL! 11 We believe Q llftllillfi We believe in music — from the rock concerts, to the radio, to the JSB Band, to the music at church — all of these give a rhythm to our lives 13 We believe in ... it forms the basis for many of our school activities — from sports, to academics, to elections, to beauty pageants, whether it be team competition, such as football, or individual competition such as wrestling and forensics; whether it be serious — or be in fun — we learn to respect our fellow competitors. 14 15 Dedication We Believe In Ding us . . . The 1977 Phoenix is dedicated to a teacher that we believe in, because she believes in her students. Joan P. Dingus has been teaching at Battle, since 1962 . During these years at Battle, Mrs. Dingus has gone far beyond the call of duty. She has been a loyal Trojan — supporting our teams through thick and thin. In her role as Senior class advisor, Mrs. Dingus has found that extra gift, personal contact with young people, that gives the teacher a whole new outlook on life. From doing the bunny hop at the Greaser Dance to leading the Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance at graduation, Joan Dingus is always near to give her time and assistance. Besides being active in education, Mrs. Dingus has been extreme¬ ly involved in the community through various clubs as well as her church and Sunday classes. There is an old saying — the best things come in small packages — We on the 1977 Pheonix Staff believe that Joan P. Dingus is one of the best things to happen to John S. Battle. We proudly dedicate this annual to her. Mrs. Dingus experiments with her chemistry class. 16 Memoriam ,.. that bring us together so that we may find new friends and share old ones. Through the different clubs, we help many people in many ways. We develop leadership skills, as we conduct our meetings and learn cooperation in our group efforts. 19 Art Club Front Row (Left To Right): Susie Hensley, Donna Bowman, Pam Malone, Faith Simcox, Lisa Hensley, Kathy Wooby, Jay Pack.

Theresa Cochran experiments with water colors, as Mrs. Minnick helps another student with his work. Music New music classes offered Music was an elective class for many students. Several students in grades 9-12 enrolled in chorus which involved singing for per¬ formance and the fundamentals of choral singing. Another course. General Music, was tak¬ en by students in grades 8-10. This class, designed for the non¬ musician, studied the funda¬ mentals of music through differ¬ ent instruments and different types of music. Some singing was incorporated into the pro¬ gram. Other students in a course designed for the serious music student, in grades 10-12, studied scales, keys, intervals, and recog¬ nition of melodies and harmo¬ nies. These new music programs have certainly given Battle a well-rounded curriculum. New music theory class receives instruction on difficult scales Chorus students practice songs for program Band John S.

Math with his trusty ' calculator. concentrates on his math homework Nathalie and Susan are working on difficult pre-calculus problems. Math students prepare for their future with math courses in practical experience and use of calculators. With the calculator craze booming and their use at an all time high, students found that they still had to know the basics which are essential to the use of math. However, they have found that math is no longer the boring course it once was. Students learned the use of decimals and fractions. Many students who show a great interest and talent in the field of math take a full five- yeab college prep program, which involves algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. Activities in these classes prepared the students for further study, as well as the practical experience of the calculator. Students become aware of the importance of math in every aspect of the working world. There is scarcely a single career that does not require some degree of mathematical ability. Science Environmental class offered during 76-77 Several students in all grades were enrolled in one of the many science courses - Science 8, Earth Science, Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Physics, and Senior Bi¬ ology.

All eighth grade classes spent two weeks in the library for orientation to ac¬ quaint them with the facilities available. Focus in both grade levels was on basic skills in read¬ ing, writing and speaking. Acti¬ vities varied from book reports, to reading literature, to grammar exercises, to short speeches, to filmstrips and records. Many students in grades 9-12 take part in Drama for the entire year. The class studied the par¬ ticulars of drama, acting and the stage. During the fall, they were able to attend the VI workshop. Many of the Drama students were involved in the production of The Fighting Parson. Later in the year the Drama class brightened the holidays with their annual Christmas produc¬ tion. Following the holidays, they hosted the district and re¬ gional one-act play festivals. The highlight of their year was a Barter Reading Reading students made improvements on their basic skills. Reading improvement classes gave instruc¬ tion in the four basic areas of comprehen¬ sion, vocabulary, rate, and study skills. Tests were given to ' students at the begin¬ ning of the year to determine each of their needs. During the year, work was planned to meet these needs. Work assignments var¬ ied from reading skills to reading improve¬ ment in speed with the reading machines. Students spent time using the library and its resources, as well as browsing and read¬ ing magazines and books for pleasure. At the end of the year, other tests were given to measure the students ' progress. Reading I class had leisure reading time Pat Savinsky sought quiet corner of reading room. Starr Harmon prepares to use reading machine. Foreign Language Students in Foreign Language planned trips Language classes were enhanced by several visitors during the year. The students were fortu¬ nate to have students from France, Brasil, Mexico, Italy and Finland visit their classes. The classes also planned to bring Christmas songs in French and Spanish to the other students, but snow cancelled their plans. The French students participat¬ ed in many cultural projects, learned numerous songs, and cooked some elegant French foods. The French II classes re¬ created a minature Paris within the room. Students also explored foreign language careers, as well as careers influenced by forgein language. Besides all the study¬ ing they found time to learn about Canada and planned a trip to Quebec for the summer. Nathalie, our AFS student, con¬ tributed greatly to the French classes. She brought real French life to the classroom. First year Spanish students made pinatas for Christmas, The Second year students made Ojos de Dios and decorated the room with wall hangings and mobiles. Songs, foods, and games were a part of the Spanish program as well. Spanish students took sim¬ ulated trips to several Spanish speaking countries using pass¬ ports and tourist cards. Some students participated in Lan¬ guage Day at ETSU. Plans were made for a trip to Mexico. Distributive Education DE students work half day and study for distribution jobs Distributive education courses are offered for students in the 10th-12th grades. Although stu¬ dents in DE I have no scheduled on-the-job training, they still learned about the fundamentals of the business world. The coop¬ erative programs of DE II and III allowed students to participate in classroom activities as well as on-the-job training. Throughout the year DE stu¬ dents gained valuable insights into the business world through class projects and activities as well as their first hand job exper¬ ience. Sophomore, Junior and Senior projects competed in statewide DE contest in March. DE students work on notebooks for marketing. Mrs. French instructs Robin McReynolds in business skills. Kathy McCracken and Karen Stuart take dictation in shorthand.

Many students take in at least one year of typewrit¬ ing for practical and personal use. New business students began their curriculum with General Business, as freshmen and worked their way up to Office Practice as Seniors, which integrated all previously de¬ veloped skills and knowledge into a practical course that includes fil¬ ing, business machines, telephone techniques, and numerous other as¬ pects of office work. Several business students attended the annual contests at Virginia Highlands, where they placed very high, as usual, amongst the com¬ petitors from other schools in southwest Virginia. Agriculture Pre-Ag offered to 8th graders For the first time Agriculture was offered to all eighth grade girls and boys on an Exploratory basis. An outgrowth of the Exploratory class was Pre-Agriculture. This class was offered to 20-8th grade students as a full-year class. Agriculture and Horticulture classes took part in maintaining the school grounds. Stu¬ dents, who were enrolled in Agriculture, participated in such learning activities as — tool fitting, plant science, metal-fabri¬ cation, arc-welding, conservation and leadership training.

The Trojan ”1 Believe” was trampled into the dust during these first three games. More¬ over, head coach, Phil Robbins, was out for sur¬ gery and an assistant coach resigned. All this got the Trojans ' 76 season off to a bad start. However, the Trojans began their New Season” as they defeated Patrick Henry 20-12. The Tro¬ jans overpowered the Rebels with 300 yards of¬ fense, superb defense, 2 interceptions, and fan¬ tastic yardage by Darren Wagner and Gilmer Meade.

Through a very disr uptive season, the JV team put forth a fine effort which brought them self-satisfaction and 6 victories. Among these victo¬ ries were games with Gate City (overtime), Patrick Hen¬ ry, and Tazewell. Many of their losses were extremely close and could have gone ei¬ ther way. This was true for both games with VHS and those with Abingdon, which were lost by just a few points.

And although they won only one game during the sea¬ son, they acquired leadership and experience that will pre¬ pare them for the years ahead. They were coached by John Peltier.

With a young team Coaches Tallman and Mink led their matmen to victo¬ ries over Patrick Henry, VHS, Graham, and a tie with George Wythe. The match with VHS was extremely exciting, as we had tied the Bearcats 25-25, and a technical cost them the match. The District Tournament was held at Grundy with several Tro¬ jan wrestlers taking high hon¬ ors. They were: 126 — Jake Haught (2nd), 138 — David Young (1st), 155 — Sterl Cullop (1st), 185 — Steve Sproles (3rd), and Uni — Mike Shankel (2nd).

Taking double-head¬ ers from Richlands, Grundy, and Tazewell, the team maintained high spirits and enthusiasm throughout the spring. Leading the Trojans were pitchers — Gilmer Meade, Tim Carter, and Darrell Gilbert. Also pitching were Tony Burnette and David Hayden. Among the best hitters on the team were Marty Eads (411) and Gilmer Meade (300). After losing just four seniors the baseball team should put together a fine season in 1977.

Golfers Gain Experience During Long Season A young Trojan golf team had a series of difficult matches, from which they gained experience and polished their strokes. The team had impressive victo¬ ries over Gate City, Saltville, Lynview, and Patrick Henry, and a tie with Ten¬ nessee High. With many of the team members returning for the 1977 season, we can look forward to a great improve¬ ment in the golf season. Coach Webb gives golf team members advice before match. 103 Girls ' Basketball Varsity team breaks losing streak The losing streak was finally broken; the girls ' basketball team had a greatly improved sea¬ son this year. With only three lettermen returning, they began the year with much to learn and a new coach, too. With inexperi¬ ence against them, they gave their Trojan best and came up with three victories — Riclands, Patrick Henry, and a tourna¬ ment game against Patrick Hen¬ ry. Although the girls outscored only three of their opponents, they played especially well in other games with VHS, Holston, Grundy and Gate City, and lost each by only a few points. With another year of experience, the Trojan women will be back for a better year in ' 77. Scoreboard JSB Opponent 27 Holston 52 21 Abingdon 53 37 Tazewell 73 41 P.

They started football sea¬ son with a big ”1 Believe” campaign by mak¬ ing ”1 believe” buttons for members of the student body and faculty to wear. Throughout the year the cheerleaders did their best to stir up school spirit and spent many long hours painting signs and planning pep rallies. They actively participated in Homecoming and Winter Sports Festival Week. Their year was loaded with fun and hard work, and filled with forever cherished memories.

Be¬ tween long hours of practice, painting signs and decorating lockers for players, cheering for 8th grade and JV Football, girls JV and varsity Basketball, selling programs at Var¬ sity games, JV Basketball, and wrestling, there is rarely time to sit around and do nothing. Through all the confusion of try¬ ing to be on time, remembering to bring their shakers, what uniform to wear and running to the store to get candy for spirit notes, they still manage to keep a smile on their face and back the Trojan Team the best way they know how. In addition to this, they raised money last summer to at¬ tend a Cheerleading camp at Wake Forest, where they received various awards for their achievements. Their smiles, their tears, their spirit and encouragement . . . that ' s what makes them what they are! 112 Trojanettes Trojanette Drill Team adds spirit to 1976-77 BBF 9 nr j -Hff ' tit.wm f 4 M Pl rrn JI w Jrmrt j i ' ' L „ • There was a new attraction at John Battle this year.

Not only was the board re¬ sponsible for school budgets, poli¬ cies, and regulations, but for cur¬ riculum in all elementary schools and the four high schools. They worked closely with school princi¬ pals and teachers to develop and promote the best possible educa¬ tion for students in Washington County. We especially appreciate their con¬ cern for initiating the curriculum changes at Battle. They have made possible the English electives, the vocational semester courses, and the eighth grade exploratory pro¬ gram.

The office workers were instrumental in the effi¬ cient operation of each school day. Mrs. Peggy Sisk, book¬ keeper, worked hard to pay bills, to receipt fees from students, to order senior pictures, and to handle assembly program de¬ posits. Helping Mrs. Sisk was Mrs. Jan Stringer, who prepared absentee reports daily, in addi¬ tion to her other responsibilities. There were also two student workers, Cindy Morgan and Judy Martin, who worked in the office second period.

Many hours were spent by teachers in preparing for changes in the cur¬ riculum — such as the English elec¬ tives — which meant working 2 weeks of the summer to write up new courses. Other teachers were involved in the new exploratory program, and many more in imple¬ menting new ideas into their course offerings. Although they seemed preoccupied with home¬ work and grades, teachers are most interested in the students and their future.

TAJ I 1• . 1 We believe in young love . .. Like every other American high school this year, our halls have been crowded with young couples holding hands as they go to classes. For many of these high school romances are but a memory, while for others it is just the beginning of a life-long relationship. It may have started with a promise ring or a class ring, then an engagement ring, and finally some day the wedding band. Whatever the ring, it is merely a token or sym¬ bol of a feeling we believe in and depend on — Love.

These officers helped bring together sophomores and boost their class spirit. Although they never captured the spirit stick, the sophomores did a great job of decorating their lockers and making signs to support their teams. Sophomores were involved in many clubs, athletic events, and other activities. They contributed in many way to a great year. Mrs. Penny Bruce was their sponsor.

Ed. and English Electives. During the coed phys. ed. classes, the students experienced many new activities. In addition to new coed classes, the sophomores were able to take new elective English classes with Juniors and Seniors. They found these new classes both rewarding and fun. Sophomores chose many other courses to study — from World Histo¬ ry, to Current history, economics, bookkeeping, home economics, se¬ mester offerings as well as trade school, and many more. From this year of study, the sophomores have gained in valuable amounts of informa¬ tion to prepare them for graduation.

In addition to their required classes, eighth graders were able to take elective classes, as well as the new exploratory classes. Apart from their studies, eighth graders were occupied with sports, clubs pep rallies, and a new life. They took an active part in all activities, from homecoming decorations to student follies. Because of the bad winter and school missed, the eighth grade class was unable to elect class officers. However, their year was not dampened, and they made the best of each day.

Winter Snow We believed in a White Christmas We believed in a White Christ¬ mas , but a white winter was more than we had hoped for. While a snow day here and there has always been welcomed by students and teachers, the month of January got to be a little much for most people as they realized that school on Sat¬ urdays and into July would be even worse. Of course, as the days count¬ ed into the twenties, there was nothing to be done, except wait for a break in the weather. Not only did the snow and cold cause us to miss numerous days of school, it also disrupted the athletic events. Several games and matches had to be postponed, while others were cancelled, because the season had ended. In addition to the dis¬ ruptions in the athletic events, the black cloud of exams hung over the heads of students. Although the ex¬ ams were eventually taken, they somehow lost their importance. The great amounts of snow provided fun that many of us had never experienced. 194 The school bus sat idle for many days, while students enjoyed sledding and snowballing. Winter Snow Students returned to school on Wednesday, February 2nd, after a month ' s vacation and a total of 21 snow days to be made-up. The winter of ' 77 will be remem¬ bered by all — for missing over twenty days of school, for the natu¬ ral gas shortage that not only cur¬ tailed business hours, but forced many businesses to close down, for the extreme cold, and for the end¬ less, unbelievable, beautiful, white, sparkling, frosty, freezing . . . Winter Snow Winter snow accumulated into many inches from the many snowfalls. 195 AFS Nathalie and others enjoy senior courtyard.

During her stay in Bristol, Nathalie was a senior at our school. She was involved in many activities — includ¬ ing SCA, French Club, and others. Nathalie not only learned the way of American education, but also shared her French background with the students at Battle. Besides meeting many new friends here, Natha¬ lie was also able to attend VHS, THS, Abingdon High, and Patrick Henry, where she talked with French classes and brought reality to the classroom. Her fa¬ vorite class was Pre-Calculus; she ' ll never forget Mr. Mashburn ' s birthday party.

The Mardi Gras Week began with an assembly program, during which the team members and the Mardi Gras candidates were introduced to the students. Each day of that week was set aside to honor a differ¬ ent sport. The Baseball team candidates, Pam Eads and Bruce Bentley, were crowned 1976 Mar¬ di Gras Queen and King.
