BILL HOLDING Sponsor MISS I-ORA DINGUS Revillo Holding, Lawson, and Cooper SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Senior year! The closing chapter in the history of the forty-eight seniors during their stay at Big Stone Gap High School. As we recall the many happy events of the past years, we are delighted to report that our high school career has been very successful and one which we shall always cherish. Entering the Eighth Grade, we were dubious about moving from one class to another and taking only four subiects. But, in spite of our doubts, the year proved to be very eventful and an important step for the years to come. Our freshman year brought a closer connection with the school, as many students be- came active in the various clubs, athletics, and band. Under the leadership of Mr. Burchell Stallard and Mr. J. C. Miller, our sponsors, we felt we had overcome our many problems. You Name lt, an assembly program consisting of a series of acts, ushered in our sopho- more year. Later in the year we performed the impossible by having a class party which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We know we shall always remember our sophomore year and the loyal and capable guidance of our sponsors, Miss Faith Cox and Mrs. Wilma Brooks. Up one end of town and down another a group of busy Juniors were selling magazine subscriptions. Needless to say, we were those Juniors and we had some record sales that year, which year proved to be a busy and happy one. We had a great number of problems, one being the prom, but these were soon solved with Miss Sarah Broadwater and Mrs. Betty Neeley to direct us. Then came the busy days when we were out picking daisys and blisters! We were more than amply rewarded when we escorted the Seniors down the aisle knowing, that we too would soon be Seniors. Myra Smith, Virginia Miller, Charlotte Reasor, Jo Ann Burke, Russell Cooper, Bob Ham- blem, Frank Pannell, and Forrest McCoig were our chosen representatives to Girls' State and Boys' State at V. P. l. where they studied our government for a week and also enioyed many other activities. In late August of '54, fifty students rushed for the cherished Senior Room, but before the year was to be finished, we lost two of our members, David Mcliaughn and Sarah Moles. This year's class included six of the first kindergarten class that Mrs. Gordon taught, lust twelve years ago. Soon afterward, we received our long awaited class rings, of which we were very proud. Our senior play was a big attraction, much tothe credit of our directors, Miss Faith Cox, Miss Billie Jean Scott, and Mrs. Betty Neeley. More than two thirds of our class took advantage of the W7OB trip to Washington. Under the guidance of our sponsor, Miss Dingus, the year was indeed a successful one. Myra Smith was chosen as our best citizen. She represented our school in the best citizen- ship contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Then came graduation, our final participation in high school. After commencement, the alumni gave us a magnificient feast-a banquet. Leaving the banquet and making our sepa- rate ways home, many of us thought back to the minute we stepped up to receive our di- plomas. We then knew that we were the builders of America and that with the knowledge we had gained in the past twelve years here and with God's help, we would always strive to make America a better place in which to live.

HISTORY ' As the school yefar of I954-55 began, we the Junjor Class, looked forward to the coming year with high hopes and many pfans. Realizing that this was one of the most important years in our school career, we looked to our capable sponsors, Mrs. Neeley and Miss Broadwater, for ,help When footballseason arrived our class had several boys participating. They were Dean McOue,ry, Chester Palmer,'Roy Laster, Lincoln Kiser, Jack Hill, and Roger Daugh erty. Later when basketball was the seasonal sport,,again our class was well represented this time b Lincoln Kiser, Chester Palmer, Dean McQuery, Roger Daugherty, Norma Morelock, o'berta Clark, Faye Johnson, Mary Fraley, Margaret Mumpower, and Patsy Burke. ' . We were not only represented in sports, but in other activities as well. We had members in the Band, Glee Club, Safety Patrol, Key Club, Spanish Club, Camera Club, and F. H. A. The time came when we had a difficult decision to make, selecting our class rings. But the ring we finally chose, we will wear with honor and pride in our Senior year. In May, we entertained the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Prom, a very successful and colorful event, one which we all shall hold as a very pleasant memory. At the end of our Junior year, we participated in the Commencement exercises. As we carried the daisy chain down the aisle, we thought of next year when we would be walking down that very same aisle as Seniors. 'GF' In 'U '. .. LIUHIUIQ Q, ' El r 'LC F . ? .

EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY As the Pilgrims in l62O were awe-stricken when they launched on strange land in the New World, so were we seventh graders when we entered high school this year. We found the daily schedule of work quite different from that of the elementary grades. We thought that we would have time on our hands with only four classes, but we soon found that as we did our work well and participated in the school activities we were very busy. We had sixteen members in the band, two on the Safety Patrol, two in the Glee Club and several on the football and basketball squads. Many difficulties were overcome with the assistance of our capable sponsors - Miss Gilliam, Mrs. Whitt and Mr. Gibbs.

Early in the year, the second year members were given a special room to use as their Spanish room. Each student points with pride to the im- provements made to the room, but especially to the very large and colorful mural map of Spain which was made possible by the interested efforts of Mr. Clifford Smith, who made the outline which the students reproduced on the wall. With the decorating finished, the club acted as hosts to the first year members, interested students, teachers, and parents. In December the club presented a Christmas program entitled The Contrast which was musical since most of the main acts centered around music supplied by the talented band members. Climaxing the program, appropriate Christmas music was rendered by the group while Ellen Hackney, creating an unusual atmosphere of reverence, portrayed the beautiful Madonna The P.T.A. asked that the program be given at its Our goal is to have a fiesta at the end ofthe year.

The Key Club strives to develop leadership and to pre- pare its members for good citizenship. Activities for the year began in July, with six members attend- ing the Eleventh Annual Key Club Convention in'Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Forrest McCoig took third place in the International Talent Show. The chief proiects for the year were: securing advertisements for football programs and selling the programs at all Buccaneer home games, helping the Kiwanians prepare and deliver T42 Christmas baskets to the needy, and collecting the grade schools contribution of 3244.91 to The March of Dimes. On March ll, we were hosts to the Division X Convention, Bill Holding has served as Lieutenant Governor of the Division for the past year. The big social event, the Eighth Annual Charter Night Banquet, was held at the Community Club House on March 25th. As always this banquet was a huge success, with a very fine speaker. At this event the officers for the l955'56 year were announced. Delegates were sent to the Kentucky-Tennessee District Con- vention held in Chattanooga, Tennessee on April lst-3rd, The Club purchased an engraved gong and gavel and o beautiful Key Club banner, which is displayed in the Library. Much credit for another successful year of the Key Club goes to Mr. Ross Tilley and Mr. Bill Akers, Kiwanis Advisors, who were ever ready to give their advice and assistance.
