SENIOR CLASS President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer OFFICERS Tommy Cummings Edgar Callahan Georgia Salley CLASS HISTORY ' Way back about twelve years ago the old school bell rang and about fifty pupils filed into Miss Mahaffey’s first-grade room. These pupils were to form the Senior class of 1940, but only sixteen came completely through school together. In the fourth grade they were joined by Winifred Dixon from the Mendota school, and in the fifth, Chester Turner came from the Norton school. In 1935 they strutted into high school full of vim and vigor and were courageous enough to stand up under the scorn of the upper classmen. Barbara Legge joined the class in 1936 from Exeter. Through the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades the class stumbled. But they were not without honor in those hard years; they had their quota of athletes, scholars, and actors from the beginning of their high school careers. In their Junior year, they were no longer looked down upon and were almost as important as if they were Seniors already. In their Junior year, Sam Osborne entered the Class of 1940 from East Stone Gap High School. Then came September 1939 and they were Seniors! This year, 1939-40, has been a busy one with so many of the class taking part in athletics, clubs, and dramatics. The school teams will greatly miss Barbara Legge, Winifred Dixon, Doris Tilley, Ed- gar Callahan, Eddie Kilbourne, Earl Burdette, David Oldashi, Tommy Cummings, Richard Orr, Henry Lane, and Bill Moore. This year Eddie Kilbourne made All-County and All-District honors in football and was also selected on the All-Tournament teams for the county and district in basketball. Not only in athletics has this class been outstanding. They were well represented in the Beta Club, the Glee Club, and in the Band. The various plays that have been presented have used the talents of several members from this class. Although they do not claim to be the best Senior Class to finish from Big Stone Gap High School, they do rank near the top, this Senior Class of 1940!

We have heretofore drifted along unnoticed and without any special duty, but we can look back this year and see that we have contributed a great deal to our school. This makes us feel very proud. Our room is well represented in athletics. We gave Ruth Miller, Jewell Pennington, and Anne Mc- Cluen as our share to the girls’ basketball team; the boys, not to be outdone, gave Marvin Graham and Martin Porcha to the boys’ team. Then, too, no other class gave more to the football team than we did; Graham, Body, Davis, Haynes, and Tucker, who are also material for next year. The Junior Class has also taken an active part in the musical and dramatic side of school activities. Ten of our members are members of the band. In Glee Club some of our class have been members since its organization in 1938. Quite a bit of talent was shown in our assembly program. To prove to you that we are on the side of the right, we present five Safety Patrolmen from our room to keep us in line. We have ten girls from our class to prove what hidden talents are in those home- makers of tomorrow. To help take care of the business side of the school we gave twenty-four of our classmates to the commercial class. With all these activities to our credit, we, the Junior Class of 1940, shall strive to make our Senior year fuller and better for ourselves and for the school. THE TENTH GRADE Scattered here and there among the rooms of high school is the organization known as the tenth grade. They are not exactly outcasts but they have no specified home-room teacher. This, as well as their many accomplishments, makes them a remarkable group. Members of the class join willingly and whole- heartedly into all school activities from athletic competition to getting the most subscriptions for the Annual Fund. “Jerry” Wells deserves special mention for his contribution to the latter enterprise. On the gridiron, the class was represented by Herman Giles and Hoyt Moore. Hoyt also gained all- tournament honors for his work on the basketball court. Musical inclination is proven by the presence of twenty per cent of the class in the School Band. That this engagement in extra-curricular activities has not interfered with the scholastic ability of the class is shown by the representation in the Beta Club. NINTH GRADE GIRLS EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS THE NINTH GRADE OFFICERS Lillian Tolbert President Jimmy Broadwater Jo BOOHER Secretary and Treasurer TOMMY WlTT The Ninth Grade Class of this year has portrayed a picture of what we may expect of our future school years. The class, under the supervision of Miss Miller and Mr. Dotson, has had its full share in the various school activities. The girls of the class presented an assembly program, “The Ghost in the Green Gown,” which showed much talent in the field of acting. The boys, however, were not to be outdone, and they gave a side-splitting presentation, “Jimmy’s Little Sister.” The athletic ability of the class has been shown on the gridiron by John Stone and John Allen Beverly, and on the basketball court by Peggy Pennington, Charlsie Carter, and John Stone. The class entered both a boys’ and girls’ team in the Class Basketball Tournament; the boys’ team won over the eighth grade in the finals. The class is well represented in the band with more than one-third of the class taking part in this activity. Three members of the class were elected to positions on the annual staff; they were Charlsie Carter as Girls’ Athletic Editor, and Jimmy Broadwater and Lillian Tolbert as Ninth Grade Representatives. THE EIGHTH GRADE President KENNETH TILLEY Secretary JlM McCRARY The Eighth Grade of 1939-40, being one of the largest classes of Big Stone Gap High School, has shown that it is very capable of fulfilling the duties that will devolve upon it in years to come. Eighth Grade girls have entered almost all school activities. Some of these are band, dramatics, glee club. Girl Scouts, and basketball. The girls won the class basketball tournament for 1939-40, show- ing that they have the will as well as the ability to conquer. The girls wish this opportunity to say that they will do their best to fulfill some of the duties left by the Seniors; this they know will be their hardest task. The boys, as well as the girls, have shown that they, too, are capable of fulfilling some of the duties left by the departing Seniors. Their ability has been demonstrated by their participation in football, basketball, band, and dramatics. The boys were not as fortunate as the girls in the class basketball tournament; they were defeated by a small margin by the ninth grade. The boys of the eighth grade hope to increase in knowledge and fulfill their duties to the best of their abilities.

The band’s rapid development in size and ability may be attributed to the constant help and super- vision of the leader, Mrs. Sam McChesney, and their own hard work and eagerness to make the Big Stone Gap High School Band one of the best. The colorful blue and gold uniforms, peppy school songs and marching formations, have made the band a memorable part of football games. Entered in the 1939 Dogwood Festival at Bristol, the band gave a performance which ranked it among the best there. Our band led the Armistice Day parade at Norton and won the first honors. The Appalachia Easter Parade, 1940, found the Blue and Gold again marching and playing well — marching and playing in spite of numbed hands and stiffened knees caused by the extreme cold that day. Not to be forgotten, too, are the times our band played at Wise, on out-of-town football trips, basket- ball games, and concerts. Now made up of sixty members, the band has done much to encourage school loyalty and pride. So, because of their hard work, loyalty, and ability, we of Big Stone Gap High School should say “Hats Off” to the sixty members, our Drum Major, Freddie Morton, the majorettes, Doris Fletcher and Ruth Miller, and save the biggest cheer for Mrs. Sam McChesney, the director.

They were beaten but once, at the hands of the East Stone Tigers, and this by a margin of one point. They defeated all other Wise County Teams including the Appalachia Bulldogs, 18 to 0; this gave the Buccaneers the title of “Wise County Champions.’’ A 30 to 0 defeat of William Byrd High School, Roanoke, gave the team the District Championship. They then had an opportunity to play for title of the Western division of the State against Clifton Forge. The game ended a tie, 0 to 0. Four of the team made All-County: Body, tackle; Tucker, half-back; Graham, fullback; Kilbourne, quarter- back. Kilbourne made the All-District team. The Buccaneers lose seven men by graduation; Moore, Callahan, Kilbourne, Burdette, Cummings, Lane, and Orr.

Winning the 100-yard dash. Bill Moore was by far the individual star of the meet. Haynes won the broad- jump, and Willis came in second in the shot-put event. Kilbourne, Captain of the 1940 Team, was a member of the 880-yard relay and came in second in the 220-yard dash and the broad-jump. The members of the Relay Team are: Haynes, Kilbourne, Graham, and Moore. The Buccaneers should have a good team this season because only one member, Willis, was lost by graduation. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL When football season rolled away and everything was quieted down a call was given by Coach Cassell for basketball volunteers. This call brought over thirty girls, all with vigor, pep, and enthusiasm. Practive every day and keeping Coach Cassell’s rules soon got the girls in shape to meet the on- coming teams. As the days rolled by practice grew serious and quite exhausting, but about thirteen girls held out; on these Coach Cassell could depend, and so from these he picked his team. These were loyal and held together to the end, showing the true Buccaneer spirit. Even though they did not have a winning combination, they learned to take defeat right on the chin and continue to fight. The girls who gave Big Stone Gap their team were: Capt. Legge, J. Pennington, Dixon, Carter, Maceyko, P. Pennington, Miller, Tilley, Cambios, Simms, and McCluen. Although Coach Cassell loses three Seniors from this season’s team, he will have a wealth of material for the next season. Those who are lost through graduation are: Capt. Legge, Tilley, and Dixon. Each of these girls has done much for Big Stone Gap’s basketball team. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Big Stone boys had a very successful season. Winning twelve games and losing nine, the season was more impressive than figures show. The team lost six of the nine games by one to four-point margins. The undefeated Emory and Henry Freshman Team defeated Big Stone Gap by only one point. A victory over Norton brought the Buccaneers an invitation to the District Tournament at Marion. There they were defeated in the first game by William Byrd High School of Roanoke, 40-36. In the Wise County Tournament, they won over Wise to advance to the semi-finals where Flat Gap beat them 27-17. Hoyt Moore and Eddie Kilbourne made the All-Tournament Team. Kilbourne was also picked for the All-District Team. Coach Barker will lose five boys by graduation: Captain Callahan, Kilbourne, Oldashi, Cummings, and Burdette.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 ALUMNI The Big Stone Gap High School Alumni Association was organised in 1908 by Prof. R. P. Sheppe, and has developed into one of the largest and most active organizations of high school alumni in South- west Virginia. Nearly seven hundred graduates, in almost every state in the Union, make up its membership. Each year it has been customary for the alumni to entertain the graduating class with a banquet, and for the last few years, dancing has been added. The Association has contributed to the improvement of equipment of the school, to athletics, and to the band. In 1939, it was decided to place in the library a book or set of books as a memorial to each graduate who died that year. The purpose of the Association is to keep alive the interest of the graduates in their school and to cooperate in every way with the school ' s progress.
