Such a one is our band director. We have marveled at her patience and understanding as she worked to develop our talents and skills. To Mrs. S. H. McChesney, then, the School Bell is dedicated and with it is dedicated both our gratitude and admiration. B. S. College of William and Mary M. A. Columbia University Sarah Broadwater A. B.

Twelve years — how endless that time seemed in September 1 934. Now the years have passed leaving behind an indeliable trail of memories. September 1945, we began our senior year without Steve Delceg. Jerry Potter, John Ed Morris and Jim Quillen, four members of our class who had entered the U. S. Army during the summer. With Tency Collier as our class president, the Seniors brought forth qualities of industry, responsibility and leadership developed in previous years as underclassmen. October brought Charles Grubb, Jr., and Jack Kirk to our class from the Army Air Forces. We received our class rings and displayed them with tremendous satisfaction. October also brought football games, cheering sections and cokes afterwards. January 1946, while we were struggling through exams. Tency and Bill Buckles chose wedding bells and withdrew from our group. Jack Kirk was entrusted with the responsibility of guiding us through the remainder of the year. Edwin Hill and Harry Trent came back from the war to join our class at mid-term. Betty Campbell Brooks and Mary Akens Rutherford pushed aside their marital re- sponsibilities to complete this year with us. In February we wrote copy and took pictures to meet the deadline of March the first for the School Bell. With March Qme a feeling of finality as we prepared for our senior play. The last few weeks held much to remember, the Junior-Senior reception, planning and attending practices for our final exercises, addressing invitations, and at last, receiving our diplomas, which symbolized the completion of our high school course. What was begun is finished and now we start anew. We look back over our school days only with the thought of learning from the past to build a better future. itniot I dHflL x i Ik Wi 1 w i I i JL |4« m S J | Jr .

Long to be remembered is Miss Dingus ' quiet understanding and sound counsel. We were glad to have Sue Books, Pearl Morelock, Evelyn Trent, Billie Sue Scroggs and Billy Nave as new members of our class. Horace “Buddy” Carmody and Ernest Jessee who had returned from the U. S. Army joined us at mid-term. Some Juniors prominent in school activities were David Olinger, class president and assistant business manager of the School Bell; Bonnie Salyer, class vice-president; June Hopkins, class secretary and treasurer and assistant editor of the School Bell: Toby White and Bobby Williams, captain and co- captain of the Safety Patrol. Looking forward to publishing our. yearbook, we swelled our treasury with funds from a magazine campaign conducted in February. Our number one social event was the Junior-Senior reception held in the gym in April. In May as we made the daisy chain to use in the final exercises, we realized that we now faced the challenge of our senior year. zzyovuctncte First row: Joann Barker. Euna Gilliam. Helen Allen.

Harold Hall, formerly of the U. S. Navy, and Edward Gilliam brought our class enrollment to thirty-six. James Barron “Dutchy” Morris was our choice for class president. Miss Broadwater’s capable guidance contributed much to our development. The sophomores had representatives in every extra-curricular activity. Recognition for our class was won by Eugene Kilbourne and Harold Gilliam as members of the All-County football team; Roy Dulaney, manager of the boys ' basketball team; Janis Asbury, manager of girls’ basketball team; Katie Olinger, captain of the Safety Patrol during the first semester; and Alice Graham, secretary of the Glee Club. At the close of the football season, a number of the girls, as a home economics class project, planned and gave a party honoring the football team and their guests. So we are gradually widening the range of our accomplishments, we eagerly look forward to our junior year. First row: Joan Dickenson. Myers. Nina Banks. Jean Colvard Morgan. Ralph Graham.

AA Cjtade Sports claimed the time and attention of a large majority of the fifty-eight members of the ninth grade. Joe Williams won our acclaim by earning a starting place on the basketball team. Claude Gilly also showed steady improvement. As assistant business manager of the basketball team, George Beard served faithfully. Mary Anderson rapidly developed to varsity caliber as she acquired accuracy in basket- ball skills. Ruth Statzer, Freda Buckles. Sue Reasor, Mary Carr, June Beverly and Pattie Davis gained valuable training in this sport. Joyce Lyle, popular and diplomatic, won our votes for class president. The high scholastic averages of Opal Laster. Norma Morgan. Pattie Davis, and Ruth Statzer claimed our admiration. Our contribution to the Glee Club included Normand Graber, Evelyn Herron, Anne Barker, Mary Carr, Margaret Ann Hill, Joyce White, Opal Laster, Norma Morgan and Pattie Davis. We gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to Mrs. Martin and Miss Steele for their assistance throughout the year. No matter how great or how difficult our problems, they were always ready to help. ( LCjlttli Qx tacKe “Where is Room 21 ?” Where do we go next?” Those were some of the questions we seventy- one eighth graders were asking during the first days in September. With only four- classes, we thought that life would be easy going from this point, but the work grew more difficult as the days passed by. Every teacher requested more work and better preparations. After we became acquainted with our routine, we learned to budget our time to use the oppor- tunities for extra-activities. Although we were not eligible for the high school athletic teams, some joined the squads for the fun of playing, as well as for the valuable training that would prove worth- while later. A. L. Rutherford and Raymond Patton were interested in football. In basketball we had Margaret Ashe, Joann Nave. Arvella Smith, and Barbara Lane to represent us on the girls’ squad. Several times each week the boys reported to the gym for basketball practice under the supervision of Ray Graham. We were glad to claim Carl Jessee whose report on the results of the high school football games appeared in The Post throughout the season. J. B. Beverly, in a serious dependable manner, served as our class president. With the encouragement of Miss Myers and Mr. Gibbs, our sponsors, we have emerged from bewildered eighth graders and are now ready to contribute our bit to our high school. Elton Jones and Robert Mumpower t eolation It is with a deep sense of gratitude that we express our appreciation to Mr. Robert Mumpower and Reverend Elton Jones for the service which they rendered to our student body and the people of our community during the past three years. When an athletic director was not available,, these men volunteered to coach our football and basket- ball teams. Thus they enabled our boys to gain the valuable training that comes only from competitive sports, when the accent is placed upon the promotion of sportsmanship and the development of stamina. 7 , First rou.

The fall of 1-945 marked the return to the regular Wise County football schedule which had been curtailed during the war years.

Starting positions were won by Bill Kelly, as center; Ray Graham and James Slemp as guards: Beecher Holland and Tommy Masters as tackles; Eugene Kilbourne and Paul Tucker as ends; David Olinger, Harold Gilliam, Don Anderson and Toby White as backs. In addition to these players, Jimmie True and Joe Blanton also qualified for a letter. The Buccaneers closed the season with a record of four victories and three losses. They defeated Appalachia 12-0, Coeburn 13-6, St. Paul 20-6, and Richlands 6-0. The Buccaneers were defeated by Norton 3 3-7, Wise 27-7, and Tennessee High of Bristol 48-0.
