Anne Lewis Rand Foreword As you leave Blackstone High School, you will take with you many memories. Some will be slight and fleeting; others will be so mucha part of you that they will continue to influence your lives. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, each memory will fall into place to form a whole-- your picture of your school. Many things will make up the pattern; teachers and studies, classmates and clubs, sports and gala events. The color will be as bright as the memories of these years together. We hope that this volume of The Ivy will recall each memory and you may find yourself and your youth in this picture of Blackstone High School. Dedication 2%.

H.S., Mrs. Hutcherson has been a friend to all students. She has tried to instill a love of languages in her pupils. As sponsor of the Ram's Horn, she has worked faithfully and tirelessly to see that the paper came out on schedule. For her time and devotion to us and our projects, we the 1961 Ivy Staff dedicate this annual to her. Mrs. Hutcherson shows Latin I students how to write sentences. Dedication School Day Has Varied Program A well stocked library enables the students of Black- stone High School to have the information for term papers and reports, to read the morning paper, and to have the opportunity to read good books. In class, the students strive to learn and to understand the basicneedsfortomorrow. By daily participating in class room discussion and by really studying they get to know what makes the world go 'round and why certain events take place. What could be more important to students than time out for lunch? The well-balanced meals in the cafeteria provide much needed nourishment and bring a much welcomed break in the daily routine. Music isapart of everyone's life-- and this holds true at Blackstone High School. Many students show great enthusiasm for it by belonging to the Glee Cluband Band. They learn toappreciate music from the classics to the lighter, popular selections and enjoy themselves while learning. Happy is the man that findeth wis- dom, andthe man that getteth under- standing. Proverbs 3:13 Faculty Sets High Goals for Students MR. HUGH L. BLANTON MR. WARREN L.

Sponsors Help in Fund Raising MRS. KATHLEEN SNOW HAMLETT MISS MARTHA HAMMOCK MRS, OLIVIA C. HARRISON B. S., Radford State Teachers' B. A., Longwood College B. S., Madison College College English, French Physics, Chemistry English United States History General Science A complete science program con- sisting of general science, biology, chemistry, and physics, offers the college-bound student a good back- groundforfurther study in this field. By adding new science equipment the science program has grown consider- ably and accordingly has encouraged the students to become more interest- edin science. Thenew equipment not only helps to prepare the student for a better future but also gives the stu- dent a better basic understanding. Extra Curricula Activities Play Big Part MR, HAROLD H.

By giving oral book reports the stu- dent is encouraged to speak before others and to lose the tendency of being nervous when such an occasion arises. By making the languages an enjoyable subject, there are more students taking, and enjoying them. Faculty Endows Students With Knowledge MR. CHARLES D, PADGETT MRS. MOLLIE W. SANGER MR, RAMSEY L. TAYLOR B. S., Western Carolina College B. S., Longwood College B. S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute World History, Government B. S., in L.

A future farmer is offered the knowledge of learning to operate farm machinery, learning to judge and raise improved livestock, and learning better methods of ro- tating and raising crops. They are also trained in soil conservation and forestry management. A workshop is also included in this program which teaches the students how to make varied objects of use tothem and their families, Students Strive for Their Goal MISS MARY FRANCES TOWNSEND MRS. DOROTHY B. TUNSTALL MRS, ANNA K, WEATHERFORD B. M. E., Madison College B. S., Longwood College B. S., William Mary Music Teacher Math Mathematics The mathematics course offers the students algebra, geometry, and trigonometry which they use in their school day every day. By preparing themselves witha good background in mathematics they are prepared for the future. With so much emphasis placed on science and mathematics it is essential that each student who leaves Blackstone High School take with him a good knowledge of mathe- matics which will help him in college and in his life ahead. Typical School Day is Not Boring Eighth Grade students learn that high school offers many opportunities which were not available to them in the lower grades. Mrs. Sarah Davis, Dr. Epes Harris, and Dr. Charles Scott helped the jun- iors learn about health careers, es- pecially related to tuberculosis in a very interesting panel discussion. Miss Hammock's Senior English Class learns that Miss Hammock has a very different approach to giving out test papers. What could be quicker than to throw them? SES To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding. Proverbs 1:2 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Mrs. Hamlett, Sponsor; Robert Borum, President; Willie Louise Wells, Vice President; Sallie Beville, Secretary; Ann Dalton, Treasurer; Audrey Blevins and Sammy West, S.C. A. Representatives. Class Colors: Forest Green White Class Flower: White Rose Entwining Ivy Class Motto: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. The Class of '61 has’one distinction of which they are proud: they have learned to work together harmoniously. Since the be- wildering days of the eighth grade they have faced school life together happily. Rat Day brought its moments of dread and glory as they heldthe spotlight briefly, As the mem- bers found their places in sports, dramatics, and clubs, they began to make important con- tributions to the school program, The biggest job was making money for the Junior-Senior, and many projects brought the class closer together. After months of planning and secret activities, the Class greeted their guests in oriental splendor as they bade Sayonara to the Seniors. The Senior year has brought its problems and triumphs: college boards, the Senior Play, applications for college, andalways the thought of finalexamsand graduation. In the meantime there are the meetings to be held, the offices to fill, and the fun of being to- gether that make the Senior year the most challenging and busiest and happiest of high school days.

The backbone of B.H.S. has again done a splendid job of governing the student activities in a democratic form of gov- ernment. Not only did they complete their regular duties of passing dances, issueing club charters, and sponsoring the Home- coming Dance, but they also stimulated the students to go over their quota in the annual magazine campaign. Continuously holding drives for needy organizations and con- tributing to the same, their Teacher's Talents Assembly for the March of Dimes proved to be a big success. S8.C.A.

The team, made up of mostly underclass- men, was handicapped by lack of size and frequent injuries. Despite the disappointing odds, each boy on the team gave his best from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. Because of the teams good sportsmanship and spirit, and because they never gave up when the cause seemed hopeless, the local merchants sent the team to see a college game at Charlottesville. Encouraged bythe leadership of Coach Padgett and his staff, the team gained new support not only from the student body but from the faculty as well. 65 Underclassmen Gain Invaluable Experience BASKETBALL TEAM: Mr. Hobgood, Coach; Pack Sheffield, Johnny Booker, Robert Borum, Joe Pete Monohan, Bobby Alkire, Sammy West, Donald Koonce, Robby Westmoreland, Browny Cassell, Dave Hobgood, Fred Palmore, Ned Jones, Manager. From the opening jump to the closing buzzer, the Rams played their best in every game, trying for another B.H.S. victory. The basketball players played with a spirit that is typical of Blackstone High--a spirit which keeps the opponents fighting until the last seconds of the game. Together with this sense of spirit andthe experience gained this year bythe underclassmen, Blackstone High can well look forward to a much more suc- cessful team next year. SWISH!!!
