CLASS OFFICERS President GEORGE BEARD Vice-President JOE MARTIN Secretary-Treasurer MARION DuPRE Sponsor LORA DINGUS CLASS HISTORY In this our lost year at Big Stone High, we turn back through the years to the time when we first en- tered school. On thot September of 1937 some of us were crying to go back home to mother, wanting to go out and play, while ail of us wondered how school would treat us in the years to come. Soon came the time for our first oral reading and that spelling match so many of us were dreading. We were shy and nervous, but as the years passed we soon overcame some of our fears and tried to learn some of the many things that our teachers were endeavoring to teach us. On looking back at our school and the many things it- has done for us, we are happy now in the thought that we really have had a rich school life in that we have met friends and have participated in some worthwhile activities. On our journey through the twelve years, fourteen of us have remained together. They are: Mary Anderson, Anne Barker, Freda Buckles, Mary Carr, Joan Dickenson, Rubye Dulaney, Marion DuPre Dorothy Fields, Sue Sweet, Alan Cummings, Douglas Garrison, Normand Graber, Ralph Graham, and Joe G. Martin. We are proud of some of the outstanding members of our class; among those being: Joe Martin, Editor of the SCHOOL BELL and quite a popular fellow; George Beard, our Class President and Business Manager of the SCHOOL BELL; Elliouise Ray and Ralph Graham, our studious ond literary pair; Joe Williams, Joe Blanton, Bill Messer, and Mary Anderson our class athletes; Mary Carr and Nor- mand Graber with their musical talent; John Holmes and his wit; and Sue Reasor and Freda Buckles, two popular girls who keep the crowd happy and on the go. As we look back on our SENIOR year, we realize that we have had a full year! We received our class rings in October and then selected our Commencement invitatfons, and then came the usual grind of studying. After mid-term we were sorry to hear that Mr. Helmer was leaving us. We shall always remember him as a good teacher and a trusted friend. There was much excitement when an invitation was given to us by the CAMERA CLUB to make a trip to Washington with them. We worked hard in helping them raise money for this trip, which to us before had only been a dream, belonging to the fu- ture. The new friends we made, the sight seeing we did, the fun we had together and the party given us by Mr. and Mrs. Howe Cochron will always be cherished experiences of our trip. We also worked hard on our Senior play, which we presented in April, under the able guidance of Miss Dingus, our class sponsor, and Mrs. Giles. And finally when the last term came to an end we were honored by a festive Junior-Senior prom, given by the Juniors, which provided good entertainment. When we received our diplomas at Commencemet Exercises we then more than ever before realized how much school had meant to us and how much we were going to miss it and our pals we left behind.

L. RUTHERFORD ROBERT MORRIS NANCY HOLMES KENNETH TAYLOR SARAH BROADWATER JUNIORS When the bell rang the last of August thoughts began to run through our dusty minds. As they rambled around among the cob-webs we realize that this was the year in which we would be the next-to-the-top class of high school. By the time spring fever should have hit us again we would be well on our way to the cherished title of Dignified Senior. We should have chosen our ring s for the senior year and have had the glorious privilege of attending the Junior-Senior prom, for which we shall have planned and worked so hard. Aren ' t we the lucky ones? We have lost a few and have gained a few during the years as we have traveled through the wonders of learning, but the majority of us have come all the way together, so we are well acquainted with each other. Our class was well represented in athletics with Bobby Snodgrass, Carl Jessee, Bill Wolfe, Brownie Polly, Kenneth Taylor, Gentry Scroggs, J. B. Beverly, Joe Rush, A. L. Rutherford and John David Revilla on the football squad. Gene Collier served as mana- ger with Jimmy Sanders as his assistant. Of these, Rutherford made the 1st team, All- County, while Jessee was awarded a place on the 2nd team and Polly gained Honorable Mention. Scroggs, Jessee, Revilla. Polly, Wolfe and Collier were also on the basketball squad. On the girls ' team we had Barbara Lane, Joan Nave, Arvella Smith, and Mary Alice Bozzell. Athletics, however, was not the only thing in which we were interested. Barbara Lane, Margaret Ann Livesay, Joan Nave, Marilyn Fair Barker, Joanne Masters, Doris Carter, Jimmy Banks, and Frank Reeder were members of the band. These eight and many more joined the Glee Club when Mr. Gibbs called for the potential songsters of the school. Old Varsity Club members from our class opened their arms to the new members; MISSES Scroggs, Revilla, Beverly, Rush and Collier. Three of our members were on the Safety Patrol. Five wore the Key Club pin this year and were our visible proof of scholarship. We also had quite a few who belonged to the Spanish Club, Roman Club, Camera Club and the Home Economics Club. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Broadwater, our sponsor, for helping us over the rough spots in our Junior Year. i 11 i i mi Hi ' ■H ili 1 First row, left to right: Bobby Powers, George Riley, Stuart Mohoffey, Darrell Collins, Jimmy Gilliam, Jimmie Cooper, Billy Joe Kirk, Eugene Lambert.

Brooks as our counselor and homeroom teacher. This year sports played a leading role in our school activities. Those participating in football were: Jimmy Gilliam, Bobby Buckles, James Ashe, Darrell Collins and Lee Roy Phillips, with Bobby Buckles emerging as our letter man. With the closing of football season came basketball. Those who took part in girls basketball were Betty Herron and Nadine Gilliam. Again Bobby Buckles represented us in boys basketball. Our report for various clubs was a large one. Members of the Camera Club were: Margaret Ayers, Ruth Wells, Callie Ann Coughlin, W. H. Clark and Eddie Salyer. Mem- bers of Roman club were: Callie Ann Coughlin, Jimmy Murphy, W. H. Clark, Margaret Ayers, Mary Jane Miles, Roy Early, Anne Daugherty, Katherine Smith and Eddie Salyer. W. H. Clark and Bobby Powers were our Key Club members. Ruth Wells was our Safety Patrol member while the Spanish club was represented by Betty Turner. Eighteen of the Glee Club members and six of the Band members were from our class, while Dorothy Burke, Joanne Wilson, Tommy Vaughn, Alma Trent and Mary Beth Orr were members of the F. H. A.

STARNES nttsuoito When August rolled around there were sixty-three members in the Fresh- man Class who were eager to begin classes. Our members were divided into three sections. One section was under Coach Starnes while Mrs. Giles and Miss Hamilton were sponsors for the other two sections. When football practice was again resumed we were represented by Eu- gene Rutherford, Bobby True, and Sam Mumpower. After the football season was over our interest turned to basketball. In this sport the boys participating were Philip Kinder, Jimmy Whisman, and Jim Hamblen. Our girls taking part were Betty Herron, Clarice Livingston, Myrna James, Nell Laster, and Joan Tucker. We have learned by our experiences this year that the way to enjoy high school is to enter into its activities. With nine members in the band, four in the Glee Club, nine in the Latin Club, one in the Camera Club and two on the Safety Patrol, we feel that we haven ' t been at all idle. Now with our initial year in high school behind us, we are looking for- ward not only to our Sophomore term but to the remaining terms ahead of us.

BRISTOV When August passed we were greatly thrilled to know that we were entering the high school building for the first time. This was a very happy occasion to us because we began to feel quite grown up. This year our interest has been centered in sports because someday we hope to be on the football and basketball teams. Harriet Holton was the member of our class who was on the Safety Patrol while Billy Locke, Mary Jane Robinette and Ray Seale were in the Big Stone Gap High School Band. Our group this year was extremely large, but we adapted ourselves to classes and soon were on our way to learning. We are hoping that we can put our efforts and thoughts into our work and so tain a good record through out our high school days. WOBS ' ■ ' Director. Mrs. Virginia McChesney There goes the bond! And every child who stands on the side lines watching looks forward to the time when he will be permitted to become a member. Few organizations have held the hearts of so many of the towns people. It is the creation of Mrs. Virginia McChesney, its director, the pupils of the school who are fortunate to possess some talent and the people of the town who have contributed to its support. Bright new uniforms were furnished last year and as the band goes marching down the street each on- looker feels that a part of himself goes with them. The band was dear to the heart of the late C. P. (Jack) Cawood, chairman of the committee who financed the uniforms and when Taps was sounded over his grave the Band paid its final tribute to the memory of one of its most loyal supporters.

GIBBS i The Camera Club organized in the fall of 1947, had as its original objective, the securing of suitable snapshots for the SCHOLL BELL. While the club has never lost sight of that objective it has rather ex- panded into one of the most progressive and beneficial organizations on our campus. From the very beginning this group has distinguished itself for the manner in which it has used the funds raised through its many projects. When school opened last fall our students found a new experience in reading magazines bound in many colored binders. These expensive covers have made possible the preservation of our periodicals until all students have had a chance to read them. Every student has made it his business to take care of this equiprhent which was given to the school by our club. Perhaps the most ambitious undertaking of the Camera Club was the promotion of a trip to Washing- ton, D. C. during the week of Easter this year. After many months of careful planning and hard work THE WOB crowd boarded a special bus— and so to one of the grandest adventures of our lives. We feel that this activity is a great stride forward for our school and we hope to make it a permanent part of our work.

CLARK Vice-President ANNE DAUGHERTY Secretary-Treasurer JIMMY MURPHY The most exciting event of the year for the Roman Club was the an- nual initiation. The high school received on initiation morning, a group of distinguished Roman Women, garbed in white stolas and laurel wreath, and carrying a raw egg, the symbol of this ancient organization. There was many a slip twixt 9:00 o ' clock and 3:35, with the initiates doing jani- tor duty on the floors and steps.

We were sorry to lose Bill Fitchko from our coaching staff, but we were happy to have as replacements, Joe Starnes of Gate City and Burchel Stallard of Coeburn. At the beginning of the sea- son a large squad reported for practice, and although we lost some members during the season, we felt at the end that we had had a good year.
