Bluestone High School - Golden Link Yearbook (Skipwith, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1961 volume:

The 1961 WEI HI B1 uestone High School Skipwith, Virginia Editor, Barbara Clark Asst. Ed., Ann Tarlton Bus. Mgr., Andy Smith Adviser, Mrs. Juanita Clarke VOLUME 6 The Bluestone High School ring symbolizes Blue- stone High School. The blue stone of the ring is a genuine emblem of the school, for the blue stone traditionally grants clear th i nki ng and symboli- cally represents fidelity, love, purity, beauty and truth. The ring itself signifies high rank and achievement. Therefore, believing that the ring symbolizes the school, The Golden Link of 1961 has attempted to capture and to record the memorable school year through the images r ef 1 e ct e d by the blue stone of the school ring. 4 OUR FACULTY, Emitting Treasures Of Learning With Patience And Firmness OUR CLASSES, Glowing W ith Self- Searching Preparation OUR CLUBS, Sparkling With Effective Projects Of Superior Achievement 7 1 OUR SPORTS, Dazzling With Images Of Team Spirit And School Loyalty 8 OUR FEATURES, Portraying Special Events And Time-Honored Customs 9 10 Mr. Propst Is A Capable Teacher Mr. Donald E.

Preparations for money-raising projects kept them all busy. A Christmas dance, beauty pageant, stews and various other activities added to the funds and helped sponsors and students know each other better. Besides working hard together outside class, they also worked hard on English, U. S. History, French, plane geometry, chemistry and other subjects. There are many things they are anticipating; the Prom and ordering class rings are two exciting events in the junior year at Bluestone. OFFICERS: President Vice- Pres Secretary.

The only score, setup bypasses, was a two-yard plunge by Alex Burnette. The Barons ' win, 6-0, put them in first place in the District.

This group of ten girls started practicing in the summer, to be ready to cheer for the Barons. They supported the athletic teams by holding pep rallys before games. During f ootball season they sponsored dances after home games, de- corated, and participated in parades to advertise the games and urge everyone to attend. They encouraged spectator enthusiasm by leading them in peppy yells at both football and basketball games. The cheerleaders, sponsored by Miss Mildred Lewis, have whole-heartedly supported athletics at Bluestone by encouraging the fans to back the team.
