We dedicate the 1959 Golden Link to this group, 5he Bluestone Stadium Commit The Bluestone Stadium Committee was an out- growth of a P.T.A. group originally formed of Clarence Johnson, H. E. Dunn and J. E. Smith to investigate the erection of lights and construction of a stadium at Bluestone School. From this small group came an independent organization, a stadium committee, which met for the first time on June 23, 1958. Garland Moss was elected chairman of the com- mittee at the first meeting. Vice-chairmen select- ed were: W. B. Bryson, Harvey Dunn, Clarence Johnson and George Spaulding. F. C. Chuchek was chosen to serve as secretary-treasurer. A 513, 500 note for the construction of astadium with approp- riate lights was backed by the personal notes of 140 Bluestone supporters. Immediately becoming active the Committee ar- ranged contracts, and work was begun on the sta- dium in July, 1958. A concrete stadium seating 1800 people was erected. Field lights were placed into position, a six-foot fence encircled the field area, a concession stand was built. On September 13, Bluestone met a traditional rival, Park View, on its home field, the new stadium. Dedication of the stadium took place at the first football game on September 13. Congressman Watkins Abbitt along with the entire Bluestone School Board and other notables took part in the half-time ceremony of dedication. Bluestone students and patrons point with pride to their stadium, a product of the BLUESTONE STADIUM COMMITTEE.

Hutcheson Qntenfion Men crossed mountains, braved flood and tide, Sailed across dangerous seas - - They fought the jungle - - they died in desert heat They tunneled through ice and snow - - They froze to find an Arctic. Then they who moved on horse or sled Learned steam and rail. And finally the old men said, This is the last frontier - - There are no frontiers left save The frontiers of the mind. Think again, old men. This world is hurtling through infinity. Above and beyond is unfathomed space, And we, the young, are not shackled To the earth. An airplane is our horse and buggy. Go to sleep in the sun, old men, This is the Sputnik Age. The frontier is always over beyond, And we mean fwell, maybe not soonl We mean to fly to the moon. f f , ' X w v , x fl N f ix Qf.

Myrna Hudson The Senior Class of 1959 having only twenty -three members is a verysmall class. This was caused by the addition of the twelfth grade in 1954. Of the twenty-three members, twenty are from the original class, two are transfers, and one is completing highschool a year early with summer school credit. At the beginning of this school year we received our class rings, the most awaited event of our high school days. We are all looking forward to graduation and the tradi- tional class picnic, class day exercises, and commen- cement. Some of us plan to attend college next year, but the majority will be working in the industrial world. I8 9 Mrs. ff Hilda Collins Sponsor '-'Ee QW?

These were familiar exclamations as the Class of '60 searched the halls for classmates not seen during the summer. Amid tales of summer adventures and trips, many could be heard saying, I'm taking five subjects, and at last I've got a study hall. Others retorted that they had two study halls. With the dropping of physical education as a required course for the Jolly Juniors, many found time to participate in extra-curricular activities. In every phase of school activity are found many Juniors who are adequately taking heavy re- sponsibilities. Pursuing such studies as English and American Literature, Dramatics, Geo- metry, Chemistry, Shorthand, Bookkeeping and French, the Juniors find many challenging fields of learning opening to them.

Everyone buckled down to hard study - - each student trying to raise his previous academic standing. Class members are enrolled in academic, vocational, and business courses. In addition to their participation in scholastic activities, the Sophomores are busily engaged in extra-curricular activities - - dramatics, sports, clubs and social pursuits.

Wilma Davis The year 1959 found the freshman class a little older and wiser in the ways of Bluestone. Classes in Civics, English, algebra, general mathematics, business mathematics, general science, Latin and physical education claimed the majority of the students, but some freshmen were found in art, home economics, band, agriculture, mechanical drawing, biology and French. The class eagerly renewed their support of extra-curricular activities and took pride in the established position as first-year high school students at Bluestone.

Immediately, the editors began to study all sources of information that might simplify the task ahead. Some attended the annual Southern Interscholastic Press Associa- tion held at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, where lectures were given explaining the various processes of editing an annual. At the beginning of the school year, the new members of the staff were elected, and the theme for the annual was selected. Each editor then began to assemble his part of the annual. The advertising staff worked diligently to raise enough money for publication. Each person has had a part in producing this annual.

Each year the second year students initiate the first year classes by having them dress in humorous attire and by having them bring free treats. This is a hilarious time. The Latin Club presents at least one assembly program during the year. This usually includes Latin songs, Latin scripture, a Latin playlet and talks about the Roman people. Club officers are: President, Phyllis Carterg vice-president, Otto Sandersg secretary- treasurer, Billy Crowderg reporter, Mary Leigh Ramsey. Sponsor is Mrs. Bernice Owen. Latin fun at school.

The 1958-59 Geometry Club was formed to increase the interest of its members in the course, to increase the knowledge of the subject, and to pass on to others the value of the subject. Through the monthly programs we have learned the history of geometry and many of the why's which were present at the beginning of the course. This year we wish to purchase some construction equipment with a portion of our dues. This equipment will make under- standing geometry easier for us and for the many Bluestone geometry clubs of the future. 61 5He fihrary Club Officers President, Mary Newton, vice-president, Betty Jean Johnson, secretary, Janet Fuller, reporter, Juanita Westg adviser, Mrs. Lois T.

Both coaches in their first year at Bluestone found that the Barons had no senior players which made quite a disadvantage in experience but they had the spirit and willingness to win. Theteam led by Captain Bryce Sneed and Co-Captain Otto Sanders deserve much credit for their three victor- ies, two in which they romped over Bluestone's dearest rival, Parkview!

This year, as usual, was one of both excitement and trouble for the Blue and Gold. In the opening game, at the dedication of Bluestone's new stadium, the Barons climaxed a memorable occasion by defeatingthe Park View Dragons. This was the first time the Barons had defeated their dearest rivals in football in the history of the two schools. Coach Scogin said, The victory was a result of the effort, condition, and willingness to win on the part of the whole team. Following this victory the Barons had a losing streak in which they were defeated by Buckingham, Brunswick, and Victoria. Victories over Greensville and Park View brought back the old spirit to the Baron fans once more. 77 :ll of wi 5 'll fs.

Playing only four games, the team came out on the losing end of each score. Because the Varsity was besieged by in- juries, many of the J.V.'s were promotedto Varsity, and by the end of the season there was no Junior Varsity. 81 sv. img-'Q-my 5--s Left to right, Rachel Owen, Glenna Bevell, Sara Childrey, Jean Spaulding, Barbara Chappell, Winnie Walker, Gerry Thompson, Ann Scott Thompson fCaptainJ, Lyell Blanton, Judy Griffin, Betty Moss, Judy Webb, Brenda Brewer, Connie Nunn, Meredith Howerton.

Varsity Basketball The'58-'59 Basketball team of Bluestone consists of an inexperienced but promising group of players. Desire, determination and hustle characterize each practice and game. From the beginning of early practice, the team began setting sights for a tournament berth in the spring. Coach McPherso: and the boys in typical time- out position. Losses to Greensville, 45-35, and to Victoria 65-40 were followed by heart- breaking scores of 51-50, Park View the winner, and 35-33, Amelia the win- ner. Wit h characteristic Bluestone spirit, however, the roundball handlers broke into the win column with a 35-39 victory over Kenbridge. Againthe home team edged to victory over Crewe with a 31-26 score. The two victories seemed to be just the needed vitamins when Bluestone met Brunswick, undefeated District II team. Bluestone frightened these leaders and left the floor defeated by a 59-53 score but happy to have a close score for the January 13 contest.

QU, Basltethall Through the middle of January the Bluestone Junior Varsity Basketball Team was undefeated. The possibilityof continuing throughout the season without a defeat will demand the continued hard work and teamwork the boys have shown thus far. Outstanding play up to date has come from Hughes Roberts W ! ayne Garner, Earl Berry, Walton Yancey, Johnny Woodson and Bill Colgate. Hughes Roberts and Wayne Garner have recently been promoted to the Varsity squad. Reserves David Averette, Bobby Lenhart and Steve Spain have moved up to fill th ' e1r shoes. McPherson, varsity coach, has promised help from his squad. Newcomers Jerry Carter, Sam Davis, III, and Jerry Dalton are showing steady improvement and are likely to pressure their teammate f ' ' s or a playing assignment. 87 Qirls' Baskeffiall Coach Craig Campbell has been putting the 14-member Girls' Basketball team through torrid paces during the season. Working with only five lettermen, Campbell and the team faced a challenging task of building. Early season contests saw the Baronnettes on the short end of the scoring except for one game. Despite these losses, the girls are constantly working to improve team and individual play. There are five juniors, seven sophomores and two freshmen on the team. Since none of the team will be lost through graduation this spring, Campbell expects the experience of this season to produce atop-notch winning team next year. Coach Craig Campbell First row, C.
