Mostof these impressions have been good; however, a few have been bad. Good or bad, these impressions make up the traditions and spirit of our high school. In this volume of the IVY, the staff will try to compare these impressions to footprints. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow expressed our feelings soaptly intwoverses of his well known Psalm of Life. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A torlorr and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.

In 1959, when the name of Blackstone High School could be found at the bottom of almost every list of sports standings in the district, B.H.S. was fortunate enough to gain a new faculty member and coach, Mr. Charles D. Padgett. Wasting no time, Mr. Padgett began a drive to build up the athletic department of B.H.S. and the school spirit. Through his efforts, both the student body andthe community began to come out and support B.H.S. in all school athletic events. The 1961 football team, which won the Group II, District III champion- ship, was a climax to his several years' work in athletics. In recognition of his influence as a coach, teacher, and friend, the 1962 IVY staff would like to dedicate this volume of the IVY to our own ''Coach , Mr. Charles D. Padgett.

For students wishing totake a business course, the Commercial Department offers three subjects, two of which are given for two years. The courses are Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, and bookkeeping. These courses provide material which gives the students a good background for business school or else prepares them for work after graduation. Students in the commercial classes are assets to their school in many areas such as, compiling and producing the school paper and printing material for various school functions. These activities also help the students gain a working knowledge of commercial activ- ities. Mrs. DeBusk gives dictation to the shorthand class. Typing I Class takes one of its first timed writings. STUDY OF LANGUAGES IS ALL-IMPORTANT Mrs. McKie L. Farley : Mrs. Kathleen S. Hamlett Miss Martha Hammock Teaches Driver Education. B.S., Radford College B.A., Longwood College Teaches English. Teaches English French. Sponsors Senior Class. Sponsors Junior Class. The goal of the English Department is to instill in the student a thorough under- standing of the English language. Our English courses provide the student with the principles of the language and also acquaint him with the past and present literature of the world. BHS also offers two years of either French or Latin. These languages help the student under- stand the derivation of many words in his own language. Clearand logical reasoning also is acquired in the study of languages. This year BHS has enlarged its English Department by the addition of a class in speech. This class, specifically directed toward those students who plan to enter college, includes work in vocabulary, public speaking, enunciation, and foren- sics:. Altogether our language department is well-rounded and complete. Many BHS graduates go on to outstanding work in college English, using the fine background they received while in high school. Speech class hears description of pygmies from Sammy. French II sentences present problems to Ruby and Jennifer. STUDENTS GAIN VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE Mrs. Olivia C. Harrison Mr. Harold H.

In the past several years, there has been an increasing stress placed on scientific education. BHS has met the challenge this new emphasis has produced. Our science department has continuously been revised and modernized to keep abreast of the changing times. This year we not only addeda new instructor but also devoted another classroom entirely to biology and general science. The chem- istry and physics laboratory was equipped two years ago with new labtables and equip - ment for experimentation. In this same respect, our biology department is equip- ped with the latest specimens, slides, and laboratory tools. The complete science course includes general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Any college- bound graduate of BHS cantruly be a credit to himself in the all-important field of science. Dissecting worms in biology proves to be interesting to all the students. Mrs. Harrison demonstrates the buoyancy of water to physics class. KNOWLEDGE OF PAST MAKES BETTER CITIZENS Mrs. Virginia F.

Through the classes, history students have acquired solid foundation for daily problems and for future use. The valuable knowledge gained in the courses of United States history, world geography, and world history cannot be measured. The background received in the required government class makes each student a better citizenanda better leader. Each of the classes enables the student to express himself to the fullest and to back up his opinions withfacts. Blackstone High School can truly say that through its teaching of heritage, it has made each stu- dent proud to be an American, a Southerner, and a Virginian. Mr. Padgett locates historical points for the U. S. history class. Ann Dishman gives her current event in govern- ment. VOCATIONAL CLASSES PREPARE FOR FUTURE Mr. Ramsey L. Taylor Mrs. Erma Thweatt Mr. Robert Thomas B.S., Virginia Polytechnic Ins- Dietitian titute. Teaches Agriculture. Sponsors F.F.A. The vocational training offered at BHS provides excellent background for those students planning to make homemaking or agriculture their lifework. The course in agriculture is essential to tomorrow's future farmers. In this course, one gains the knowledge of planting crops, using modernfarm machinery, and raising live- stock. Valuable training in the shop is given, plus an extensive study in parlia- mentary law. Boys graduating from BHS find that their study of agriculture helps them in becoming better leaders in their community. For girls, the outstanding classes in home economics provide similar training. Future homemakers gain valuable know- ledge and experience in the skills of de- signing, Sewing, cooking, budgeting, and raising a family. The modern home ec. department gives an informal atmosphere in which many close friendships are formed. Vocational classes suchas this do a great deal to enrich the curriculum at BHS.: Jane puts finishing touches on garment in Home Ec. Mr. Taylor gives Johnny some hints on how to im- prove his shop project.

With the advent of graduation the class bids a fond farewell to the ''Halls of Ivy'' and ventures forth to new horizons. This class has truly held its standards high in school work, student government, class responsi- bilities, sports, and all phases of school life. Since the bewildering days of the eighth grade, they have faced life together harmoniously. Rat Day brought the various costumes, smeared lipstick, and many tasks to be performed in order to enjoy the Homecoming festivities. The class worked hard while still in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades to raise money for their Junior-Senior. Then as energetic Juniors they labored together to present ''In the Heart of Dixie for their Junior-Senior Prom. The Senior year has brought many problems and triumphs--applications for colleges, college boards, the annual Christmas Dance, and the Senior Play, THE MATCHMAKER. These Seniors have selected invitations and cards and have been fitted for caps and gowns in preparation for their big night''. With an inner glow of achievement the Class of '62 bids farewell to the halls of B.H.S. to venture forth into the world in many different directions, guided by their motto to ''be a light in someone's sky. 14 COLLEGE BOUND SENIORS FILE EARLY APPLICATIONS MARGARET DALE ADAMS Transferred 4; Library Club 5; Pep Club 5; Tri- Hi-Y 5; Dramatics 5.

Byrd gives Irene Rash the trophy for being the high salesman in the magazine campaign. Bev gives her report on the DistrictS.C.A. meeting to the student body at assembly. This year the §.C.A. Council undertook several new pro- jects besides carrying out its regular duties of backing the successful magazine campaign, passing dances, and making donations to worthy causes. Included inthe new projects was a door decoration contest among the homerooms at Christmas time, which not only in- creased the B.H.S. Christmas spirit but also helped the winning homeroom financially. The springtime brought another ex- citing event whenthe council sponsored a Sadie Hawkins week. This proved to be quite interesting and a great deal of fun for all students. The success of the annual Homecoming Dance and Care drive were the result of hard work by council members. The S.C.A. also gave a badly needed Virginia State flag to B.H.S. Now, at the end of the school year, the B.H.S. Student Co- operative Association can look back on a truly successful school year in which both students and community played a major role. (EAR’S ACTIVITIES S.C.A.

Rush! Rush! Rush! There's the fa- miliar mad scramble as IVY staff mem- bers race frantically to meet those last minute deadlines. It all begins each summer when the business manager and his assistant begin the hectic process of collecting ads. When the school year starts in the fall, staff members are Seen poking their heads into classroom doors, around corners, in buses, and under chairs to snap those all- important ''casual''shots. Meanwhile, an- nuals are sold to the students, the cover and color of the annual are carefully se- lected, layouts are drawn, the copy and headings are typed in, and the various sections are arranged in order. Finally, when the last page is sent in, members breathe a sigh of relief and sit back to await the arrival of the annuals. IVY Staff: SEATED--M. Gravatt, Editor; A. Rand, Assistant Editor; B.

DRAMA High standards of productions and perfection of skills are the primary goals of Troupe 891 of the National Thespian Society. Outstanding work in the various phases of drama is honored by Thespian membership. The work, however, does not stopthere. Thespians guide the members of the Dramatics Club to better performance and generally help to improve our school through drama. This year the Thespians began a program to improve drama at B.H.S. with a special work- shop in which they demonstrated pantomime, movement, and dialogue for the Dramatics Club. This was followed by programs dealing with lighting, costuming, and make-up. The Thespians again sponsoredan entry in the District One-Act Play Festival and helped inall school productions throughout the year. B.H.S.

CLUB STIRS UP LOCAL INTEREST IN CIVIL WAR Sammy and Robbie lay a wreath on the W. R. Turner Memorial at Saylor's Creek. Are you intrigued by the thoughts of days gone by? Do you sometimes wish for a castle all your own, a ride on a river boat, hoop skirts or buckles? If so, then the W. R. Turner His- torical Society is for you. Early inthe year, all the new students were invited by the History Club to a special night meeting. The members presented a history of the county, adding many amusing sidelights. Using the recipes found in ''The Keybasket , published by the club last year, the members held an old-fashioned Christmas bake sale to increase the treasury. There are always cer- emonies to participate in, demonstrating youth's active interest in its heritage. Besides these things, there are exhibits and special meetings. During the next few years of the Civil War Centennial, the club plans to be particularly active in gathering data concerning Nottoway County's part in the Civil War. 50 4 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: SEATED--W.

At every football gamethe girls sold concessions and programs and helped the cheerleaders urge the Rams on. The Pep Club helped the cheerleaders in another way by buying asetof pom-pons for them. When the big Homecoming week- end rolled around the Pep Club sponsored the parade, decorated the stadium for the game, and arranged the half-time cere- monies. Helping the Athletic Association financially was still another project. During basketball and baseball seasons the Pep Club was still supporting the teams and selling concessions atthegames. Inthese ways the club carried out its objectives. Lunch time pep rallies sup- ported by the Pep Club members were some of the many ways the cheerlead- ers built up school pep.

Those who be- long to this honorary literary society have won membership by doing outstanding work on the school publications and by being in the upper third of their class. To get money for their year's project, the Quill and Scroll sponsored a dance in January. At this dance they capi- talized on the dance craze of the year, the twist,'’ and sponsored a twist contest. At the end of the year, the club members with the aid of the B.H.S. English teachers compiled a book of student writings and sold them to the student body.

Led by guard Freddie Palmore, the Rams sported a rock-ribbed defense which held the opponents’ scores low. The driving offense featured the passing of quarterback Dave Hobgood, the hard running of the backs, and the pass catching of the ends. None of the gains would have been possible without the good block- ing of the linemen and the holes in the opponents’ lines that they opened. Although the B.H.S. gridders lost key players be- cause of injuries, their opponents could not slow them down. Even though they were small in size, the Rams displayed afighting spirit and, even when the going be- came rough, the best of sportsmanship throughout the season. Three B.H.S. players were recognized for their outstanding play during the season. Guard Freddie Palmore and center Bobby Alkire were selected for All-District honors. Quarterback Dave Hobgood, be- sides being named to the All-District team, received High School All-American Honorable Mention.

Running laps, practicing lay-ups and ball handling, shooting foulshots, and working on offensive and defensive plays filled the time spent there. This year a combination of hard work and six returning lettermen produced a winning season. The girls also won a berth in the tournament held at Randolph-Henry High School with their fine record of nine wins and two losses. The girls' determination and spirit showed up in their record, and their good sportsmanship made the community and the high school proud of the girls basketball team of 1961-62. Starting line-up gets instructions from Coach Padgett. They are B. Crowder, L. Reams, P. Daniels, M. Manson, A. Rand, M. Gravatt, and J. Yelverton. 76 Coach Padgett describes a play to co- captains Mary R. Gravatt and Anne L. Rand. Jenny Read gets ready to shoot a foul shot. Mary Rebecca gets the tap. Linda Reams intercepts a pass.

RAMS OF THE FUTURE WORK TO LEARN PLAYS The J.V.'s battle for a rebound in practice. The Blackstone Junior Varsity has been very active this year, playing six games and com- peting against much larger schools. The boys improved with every game and gained a great deal of experience. They showed determina- tion, drive, and good sportsmanship in every game which is the stamp of all B.H.S. teams. The work and hustle shown by the Junior Var- sity showed to all that B.H.S. will have many cager stars in the future. 78 — There's a good time coming, it's almost here, 'Twas a long, long time on the way. -Henry Clay Work- HOMECOMING COURT LEADS FESTIVITIES __ Ee QUEEN LEADS DANCE FIGURE HOMECOMING COURT--FRONT ROW: Alice Mae Gaskill, Senior; Byrd Crowder, Junior; Brenda Carrier, Sophomore; Alice Ann Purcell, Freshman.
