Each symbol on the emblem represents some part of our school life here at B.H.S. A wreath of ivy leaves surrounds it, while the crest, a ram's head, stands for our mascot, the Black- stone Ram. It is only natural that the emblem contains a lamp of learning which is continually burning from the time of birth to the time of death. The scroll, designating the past or the classics which have become a part of our herit- age, is contrasted with the open book that denotes the modern learning which surrounds us, Be- side the book is scientific equipment that brings tomindthe ever growing and intriguing world of science. Finally, the motto, 'Let knowledge in- crease,'' expresses our purpose as students. Thru your days at B.H.S. may the coat of arms be a reminder of your responsibility to yourself, to your friends, and to your school; and may its symbols interpreted in THE IVY re- mind you of the aspirations we shared this year at Blackstone High School. FeO) OHA ln, Miss Hammock's radiant personality is well known to her students. Throughout her years at B.H.S., this teacher has faithfully and unselfishly givenher talents and skills to the service of her students. Besides teaching French J and French II, Senior Eng- lish, and other academic courses, she has accepted the great responsibility as sponsor of various clubs andclasses. In recent years as sponsor of the Junior Class, she has accepted with a sense of duty and dedication the responsibilities given to her in this position. Her vigor, encouragement, and enthusiasm have inspired many B.H.S. juniors to plan and execute excellent Junior-Senior Proms. Her friendly and warm personality have caused her to become a beloved and respected teacher by all who know her. We, the IVY Staff of 1964, with a great deal of pride and joy do dedicate this annual to Miss Martha Hammock.

Many students at B.H.S. base their entire future on the Commercial Department and the training they receive there.

The French course, which has been length- ened to three years, provides the students with knowledge not only of the language but also of the history of France. In the two years of Latin, students read myths and learn of the language, customs, and contributions of the Romans. Equipped with a thorough knowledge of the English, French, and Latin, the students entering college are capable of doing excellent work.

This hunger for knowledge is satisfied in the courses of civics, world history, U.S. history, world ge- ography, and government. Through these courses and the knowledge that is obtained, the students gainafirm basis for work in college and in later life. The fifth period government class ponders over questions on the 'No. 1 pop test given by Mrs. Cobbs. Eighth grade students study civics during a free study period given by Mr. Hobgood.

CLASS OF ’64 IS OUTSTANDING Class Flower: Golden Sceptre Rose Class Colors: Royal Blue and Gold Motto: 'The stars our goal; the Lord our guide. ''The stars our goal; the Lord our guide is the motto of the thirty-seven seniors of the Class of 1964. As graduation draws near, the class prepares to bid a fond farewell to the Halls of Ivy.'' This class has excelledin school work, school government, sports, class responsibilities, and all phases of school life. As these students entered high school in the eighth grade, they faced together the fun and problems of being students at B.H.S. Rat Day came with the pranks of upper classmen and their numerous tasks to be performed in order to enjoy the Homecoming festivities. In the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, the class worked together to raise the money needed for their Junior-Senior. Then came their junior year with class rings, term papers, and the presentation of their prom, ''Around the World. The senior year has brought many new problems and victories--college boards, college applications, the annual Christmas Dance, and their play, THE GREAT BIG DOOR STEP. As the big night approaches with cards and invitations ordered and with caps and gowns fitted, the Class of 1964 prepares to venture forth into the world, guided by their motto, ''The stars our goal; the Lord our guide. 14 GRADUATION APPROACHES LONNIE BOTHWELL ADAMS, III MARGARET FRANCES BASKERVILLE JEANNETTE ARLENE ARMES CHARLES CLAYTON BLEVINS CHRISTMAS DANCE BERNICE ESTA BOLTON BRENDA ELOIRE CARRIER WILLIAM ANTHONY BRADFORD ELLA LYNN CHURCH ENJOYED BY ALL JAMES EDWARD CRAWLEY, JR.

The Student Cooperative Association was the ruling body of Blackstone High School this year. Representatives from each club and class were joined together to pass or defeat motions in order to make this school success- ful. This year the council members undertook projects suchas the magazine campaign, ugly boy contest, and the Homecoming festivities. They also sponsored a door decoration contest 50 among the homerooms during Christmas. This activity helped bring out the creative ability in the school and the Yuletide spirit. Through the year, the council kept a Scrapbook of their various activities. This book was later presented in an exhibition at the state S.C.A. Convention. At the end of the school year, the old officers handed over their torches to the new officers in an impressive assembly program. S.C. A. SPONSORED XMAS DOOR CONTEST The S.C.A. Council again sponsored the traditional Christmas door decorations to in- spire the true meaning of Christmas. Each homeroom in the high school competed to win first place. The following homerooms won in each of the three categories of entry: Room 12, most beautiful; Room 6, most religious; Room 11, most original, Each of these rooms received $3.00 as a prize which was added to their trea- sury. The students who worked on the doors realized the true meaning of Christmas dis- playedtheir belief by the various scenes. S. Gravatt and E. Williams put up their homeroom decorations while C. Cundiff supervised. This room received the most beautiful prize. SITTING--Mrs. Harrison, Sponsor; J.Snead, President; D. Jones, Vice-President; A. Harrison, Recording Secretary. FIRST ROW--D.

The Wrigglesworth Chapter of the National Honor Society has been very active again this year, even though the membership was very small. At the beginning of the year, it distri- buted student cards to all B.H.S. students. Dur- ing both exam periods, the members placed pledge posters in all of the highschool rooms. The trophy case was also decorated with figu- rines representing the various changes of the 52 sport life at B.H.S. The members have also drawn up the names of those students on the Honor Roli. At all times the members were willing to help any teacher when called upon. Through all its various activities during the year, the National Honor Society never failed to encourage high scholastic standards throughout the school. STUDENTS EXHIBITED CREATIVE ABILITY As in other years, new members were taken into the Quill and Scroll according to their grades and according to their work on either of the school's publications, THE IVY or THE RAM'S HORN, One of the club's activities was the re- vision of the parallel reading that gave books which should be read by all college-bound students. It alsolisted books whichare helpful for book reports and for reports that must be given in each of the various classes, Another activity was the presentation of adelightfulassembly program. However, the high point of the Club's activities was the production of a booklet of creative writing of students in the English classes. The booklet, which was published once before, gave students the opportunity to show their talents in prose and poems, The Quill and Scroll was truly a busy club which provided further practice and train- ing in the field of journalism.

Articles were written, pictures taken, and layouts drawn as each deadline approached. This year a new theme was used and the staff members kept the theme and dedication a secret in order to surprise the student body. As always, this year's staff believed that the 1964 IVY was the best annual ever published and proudly entered it into the judging at S.I.P.A.

Its members and sponsors showed unending patience, co-oper- ation, and hard work through all the various tasks that were required. The RAM's HORN contained all the latest school events, opinions, and ads. Two special editions were also published by the staff. They were the Senior issue andthe T.B. issue which won first place. F.

It also took up tickets, sold candy, cleaned the stadium, and published and sold programs for the football games. The biggest responsibility of this club was the Homecoming Parade and Game. The members worked hard to fix posters, to find cars, and to arrange for escorts. The Pep Club was a hard working organization and greatly contributed to school spirit at B.H.S.

It placed a window display in local department stores and later in the elementary library. An effective assembly program included the tapping of new members into the club.

During the Tri-Hi-Y assembly, newly installed officers watch as new members return to their seats with lighted candles. 60 One of Blackstone High School's largest clubs, the Tri-Hi-Y was also one of the busiest. This year, with an increased membership of about sixty girls, new members were required to sign an oath pledging obedience to the club's high Christian standards. To provide money to the Model General Assembly in Richmond, the Tri-Hi-Y conducted a stationery drive and hada successful dance in October. Laterin the year, the Tri-Hi-Y met the Hi-Y in a basketball game. As part of the devotional program the club promotes in the school, a book of daily medi- tations was placed in every homer oom. The devotions, furnished by the Tri-Hi-Y, were a meaningful partofthe assemblies. This year, 1963-1964, one can certainly say the group fully achieved its goal--tocreate, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the home, school, and commu- nity high standards of Christian character. HI-Y PROVIDED DEVOTIONS FOR ASSEMBLIES This year was the most ambitious of all for the Hi-Y Club. In December, officers were installed at the. Baptist Church and at Christmas, the boys contributed food and clothing to a needy family. At the end of the year, three boys went to the Model General Assembly in Richmond. Throughout the year, the B.H.S. Hi-Y has added greatly tothe high Christian morals and standards at our school, not only throughtheir actions but also through their inspirational devotions in assemblies. Mr. Thomas, the Hi-Y sponsor, worked dilligent- ly to prepare a program for the club. SITTING--D. Jones, President; J. Crawley, Vice-President; R. Happel, Secretary; T. Williams, Treasurer; W.

This year, the F.H.A. girls have been launching good citizenshipthrough home mak- ing. The theme has been''Know and Understand Your Neighbor.'' This was accomplished by having a dinner and inviting people from differ - ent countries in the community to speak on family life in their country. One of the F.H.A.'s money-making pro- jects was to serve the supper for the Rotary Club. By serving at this supper, the girls learned how to serve meals. 62 Again this year, the F.H.A. ''adopted ' a little first-grade girl. Throughout the year, the girls made her clothes and at Christmas the tadopted child was givenpresents atthe Home Economics party. All during the year, the F.H.A. girls have been living their motto. Through this motto, the girls have built and strengthened their ch aracter as well as that of the school. ‘ SS 7 F.F.A. CHALLENGED TOMORROW’S FARMERS The F.F.A. has been one of the most active clubs here at B.H.S. this year. It has not only been active in school projects, but also in community activities. Soon after school opened, the members entered a project called Keep Virginia Green. In this project each member took lessons in fire prevention and fire fighting. Later the boys entered a crop judging contest in which they ranked among the top ten. In helping the appearance of the school and community, the boys have put up new mail boxes in the rural area, put new equipment in FIRST ROW--B. Ward, Sentinel; C. Procise, Reporter; M.

Week, the club had a radio program, articles in the local paper, and pro- grams giventothe churches in order to arouse public interest in the work and purpose of the club. Without a doubt, the F.F.A. has been a very helpful and useful club in the community and school. +X ‘ SX � VAYANANAA , ae BS: ‘ STUDENTS DISPLAYED ACTING ABILITY FIRST ROW--J. Inge, President; J.

The successful reali- zation of this fact was attested by the numbers that the club had on its roll.

However, the students and townspeople of Blackstone were rightly proud and pleased at this Homecoming when the twenty-five piece band and drum major paraded down Main Street and again that night at the Homecoming game. Since then, under the direction of Miss Town- send, the band had been in four parades. The band continues to practice and grow in numbers. It can be assured of continued support from the students and townspeople of Blackstone. 66 C.Crusenberry, still inhis Rat Costume leads the band in the Homecoming Parade.

The members have also tried to stimulate and encourage an interest in reading. One method was to encourage students to buy some of the paperback books on display in the library. These books were re- presentative of all the various types of writing of the past and the present. Proper behavior while visiting or studying inthe library was shown by Library Club members as they tried to encourage others to follow their example. 68 Another responsibility of the Libra- ry Club was to decorate the bulletin board that is just outside the library. This was usually done by arranging book covers in an attractive pattern or with scenes from the various holidays of the year. All through the school year, the Library Club members contributed to the reading and studying habits of those who visited the library. Variety's the very spice of life.

Coach Padgett and Coach Clayton worked with undying effort to produce a winning team. Led by Captain William Bradford, the Rams displayed clean sportsmanship and dauntless spirit through the toughest games. The hard running backs and charging linemen con- | sistantly made trouble for the opponents. Two Rams received outstanding awards. Jimmy Snead was named to the All-District team for his athletic ability while Ronald Happel was chosen for the RICHMOND-TIMES DISPATCH All-Star team. Although the season was not too good, both coaches never ceased trying to produce a victorious team. The Rams' most valuable player, R.

THE HALLS OF IVY Oh, we love the Halls of Ivy, Which surround us here today, And we shall not forget Though we be far, far away. To the hallowed Halls of Ivy Every voice will bid farewell, And shimmer off in twilight Like the old vesper bell. One day a hush will fall. The footsteps of us all Will echo down the halls And disappear. But as we gladly start Our journeys far apart, A part of every heart Willinger herein’.

KENNEDY 1917-1963 Saturday's dark gray skies lent themselves tothe sense of grief which hung in the air throughout our nation andthe world. The nation, still stunned with shock and grief, attempted with difficulty to readjust to the loss it had suffered. President Kennedy was a manof the world, who understood the role of the United States as a world leader. He was a man of peace, who had experienced war at first hand. He was, above all, a politician who appreciated what the United States could do and what it could not do in its relation abroad. There aretwo great tragedies to mourn at the grave of our late President. The greatest isthe untimely death of a man in the prime of life. The other is the failure ofan advanced democracy and self-government in its one hundred and seventy-sixth year which still has not had its citizens learn to respect the life and safety of our highest servant. Inthe spirit of his inaugural address, John Kennedy asked only what he could do for his country, and did it. Ironically, it is the country he strived so hard to serve which somehow failed him. by Lonnie Adams GLENN T. BRIDGMAN, JR. 1945-1963 Blackstone High School was grieved to learn that, on the night of November 28,1963, one of our most beloved and respected former classmates, Glenn T. Bridgman, Jr. met his deathinatragic airplane accident. G. T. was always among the most faithful and industrious of his fellow students. While at Blackstone High School he accomplished much. Asajunior, he was tapped into the National Honor Society and was elected its president the following year. For two years he faithfully served as secretary of the Hi-Y Club. Listed among his other achievements are class and church positions which he always executed to the best of his abilities. To testify to his fine character, he re- ceivedthe I Dare You award at graduation. He will always be remembered by his friendly, soft-spoken manner which was admired by all. The best memorial to G.T. is no tangible monument but for us to uphold the high standards he stood for. As Emerson said: So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth replies, 'I can.' ' G. T. certainly could. by Johnny Inge ° - : be i : ] my . ° hy lf 4 aii ¥l ae (la hy 7 ‘ 4 yas as ‘ ty ig we “ ‘ i 4 ' - . ‘ ‘ - - !
