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

Text from Pages 1 - 182 of the 1962 volume:

FOREWORD Seven is a magical number. Add one and there will be eight; subtract one and there will be six; but there will not be the romance of sailing the Seven Seas, even in dreams, or of see- ing, in imagination, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Favored in legend, in history, in theology, in literature, seven may count oceans and movintains, heroes and battles, virtues and sins, or the seven ages of man. Oh, seven is a magical number. According to tradition, the city of Rome was built upon seven hills; and, in Greek legend, seven heroes besieged the walls of Thebes. History records the Seven Days ' Battle, the Seven Weeks ' War, and the Seven Years ' War. And somewhere between history and legend is the story of a spider spinning a web and making a king by teaching the fugitive Robert Bruce that a seventh attempt may be successful after six failures. In religion, the number may be the Seventh Heaven of the Mohammedan or the number of Man ' s virtues since Christian theology added faith, hope, and charity to the four cardinal virtues of the Greeks that Plato explains in the THE REPUBLIC. As allegorical figures, the Seven Deadly Sins appear in theological and literary works of the Middle Ages. They determine not only the theme but the sevenfold structure of Dante ' s DIVINE COMEDY, one book of which is organized around the seven virtues. Later it was Shakespeare who numbered the ages of man as seven: . . . one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages. Seven. You are seven when you finish the first grade and seventeen when you start your last year of high school. Bluestone High School is seven years old. Oh, seven is a magical number. We hope this seventh issue of the GOLDEN LINK tells the magic we found together at Bluestone High School, the magic of work, the magic of fun, the wonderful magic of friends.

In 1958 the athletic sta- dium was completed with a seating capacity of 1500 to 2000. Then in 1959 six new classrooms were added to the back wing. This year, 1961-62, saw the addition of a scoreboard to the athletic field and the addition of an academic section to the annual. This section will serve to inform the public of the work in the classrooms and give the students an insight into the courses they may take in the future years. 1 1 LANGUAGE’S CREATE INTEREST IN LANDS English is undoubtedly the most important subject taught at Bluestone. Through the English courses stu- dents learn correct grammar usage, how to interpret and appreciate great works in literature, and composition. The first four years at Bluestone all students par- ticipate in the same English program, but in their senior year college bound students are given a course to pre- pare them for college while business students are given a course to prepare them for their life’s work. Instructing the students in this important field are: Mrs. Hilda Collins, Mrs. Agnes Jeffreys, Mrs. Calais Blevins, Miss Shirley Albertson, Miss Polly Batts, and Mrs. Rebecca Moses. Skinner Chumney reads SILAS MARNER to Miss Albertson ' s tenth-grade English class. in ninth grade English. | 12 ! i Maxine Kimball and Lucy Bugg check their work with the help of the newly purchased laboratory equipment. BOTH HERE AND ABROAD Latin and French are the two foreign languages taught at Bluestone High School. These courses are taught by Mrs. Bernice Owen and Mrs. Laura Bragg, respectively. Mrs. Owen keeps the so-called dead language very-much-alive for the first and second year stu- dents. Though Latin has no value as a spoken lan- guage, it does much to improve a student ' s cultural background, as well as his English vocabulary. Enthusiastic French students study grammar and improve their accents by listening to the newly purchased laboratory equipment. Both first and second year students prepare a scrapbook, thus supplementing their studies. Mrs. Bragg and the tape recorder help Walter Beales and Patsy Ed- gerton with their pronunciation. In Latin, as in all classes, one must study diligently, as Ginger Hart is doing here. 13 In Mrs. Chappell ' s Plane Geometry class, Arlene Boswell and Chandler Williams show the class the solution to a difficult problem. MATH AND SCIENCE General math, algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry are the math courses taught by Mrs. Rachel Pixley, Mrs. Martha Chappell, Mrs. Betty Crowder, and Mrs. Laura Bragg. The students discover that all these courses are quite exciting. The math ex- perience of the industrious student imprints upon him the final impression that math has been, and will continue t o be, both pleasant and profitable. Connie Tate and Randolph Williams find the product of a number on the slide rule, in third year algebra. 14 Cabell Mills and Becky Hopkins study an inclined plane in physics. CHALLENGE THE CURIOUS Science courses at Bluestone prove to be a real challenge to the students. In biology, stu- dents learn to reason scientifically and to use laboratory equipment properly. Many students then pursue chemistry, while those who desire knowledge concerning physical changes in matter enroll in the physics class. Joining Miss Emily Anne Turner, Mr. A. A. LeGrand, Mrs. Helen Gregory, and Mr. Harvey Jeffreys to enlighten the students in these fields is Mrs. Betty Crowder. Tony Accuttello and Joan Black work hard at a chemistry experiment. Jerry Hayes, Mrs. Gregory, and Barbara Stembridge discover the wonder of weights. Janice Adcock, Claire Lewis, and Bob Bjork intriguely watch the newly build rat maze. 15 Stella Wilson and Dorothy Vaughan practice what they have learned about making cloth- ing. Students exhibit their excellent work at the school fair. HOME ECONOMICS In the attractive practice house quar- ters at Bluestone, students of home eco- nomics plan programs on child care and development, clothing, foods, health, and housing. Home economics courses seek to make the students aware of the value of a good home. The girls learn to cook for their fam- ilies and to plan and make many useful gar- ments. These courses, taught by Mrs. Mary Wood, and Miss Mary Copley, help students to meet the actualities of everyday life and become trained for solving future problems. Many Home Ec, students receive fair a- wards for outstanding accomplishments. f Miss Mary Copley superintends the Home Ec. display at the school fair. 16 AG. AND IND. ARTS BUSY DEPARTMENTS The Agriculture Department and the Indus- trial Arts Department of Bluestone High School have a busy year. The Industrial Art students spend about half of their time in class learning the principals of making things and how to use the machines in the shop. The other half is spent putting this class work into practice. They go through several phasesin the shop; wood working and metal work- ing are two examples. While the Industrial Arts Department is busy in its shop the Agriculture students work in their shop, too. They make things which they can put into practical use on their farm. They spend a- bouthalfof the year in the shop while the remain- ing part is spent making an intensive study of their farm animals. Some of this time they spend fitting their animals for fair exhibition. During the year they study the conservation of wildlife. These students also make a complete study of parliamentary procedure. Mr. William Hahn, Mr. R. B. Carter, Mr. A. A. LeGrand, and Mr. Donald Propst are instruc- tors in the agriculture department. Gene Pennell and Ted Rice assemble parts after having cut them out. 17 At the end of each year the handiwork of each student is exhibited at the school fair. Jimmy Payne and Ann Newman study the government chart as Mr. Crowder explains the branches of government. SOCIAL STUDIES BROADEN OUTLOOKS: The purpose of the social studies is to give us a knowledge of the past, as well as a better under- standing of the national and world problems of to- day and the future. Under the direction of Mr.O. B. Crowder, Jr., government students learn the background and function of our democratic form of government. Other classes include: American history, world geography, and civics. Miss Arlene Sheffield, Mr. Joseph Plaster, Mrs. Priscilla Clawson help stu- dents profit from the experiences of past genera- tions. Ginger Hart and classmates study diligently for an upcoming test. Mrs. Clawson discusses world geography with Cay Elam and Margaret Pennington. 18 Wayne Crump transposes for a dictaphone machine. Mrs. Lenhart confers with a Finishing Plant employee during the annual trip of the Busi- ness Department to the plant. PREPARATION FOR BUSINESS FUTURE Under the direction of Mrs. Mary Lenhart, Mrs. Ida Sorrell, Mr. Gene Pfoutz, and Mr. Berman Scott, the business education department at Bluestone offers courses in typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, general business, office practice, business mathematics, and business law. With the use of a dictaphone machine and many other machines, the students are preparing for a place in the business world of tomorrow. Glenna Bevell works diligently in a typing class. Business students practice what they have learned in the office at Bluestone. The assistance of Mrs. Parks, the school sec- retary, is very helpful 19 Tinker Gill draws creatively in Miss Spicer ' s art class. For the creative student, the Fine Arts Department seeks to develop a love of art and music. Miss Rebecca Spicer teaches the stu- dents the various techniques of tempera, charcoal, and pencil drawing. The art course is one of the most popular of the school. Musically inclined students participate in the band and choral classes taught by Mr.G. B. Harris and Mrs. Elizabeth Owen. The band entertains the community at the football games in the fall, while the choral club gives concerts throughout the year. Under the direction of Mr. Harvey Jeffreys, students tackle the fine art of dramatics. Aside from presenting plays for the enjoyment of the public the students also learn poise and correctness in public speaking. Art students wash up after a period of creative work. IMAGINATION, BY WORD FOR Paige Allen, a last year graduate of Bluestone, helps prepare the art ex- hibit for the school fair. 20 Becky Allgood and Henry Hunter present a skit in dramatics. REATIVE STUDENTS Carolyn EUiott gives a speech for dramatics. This is a very im- portant phase of dramatics. Bluestone ' s Band gives very fine entertainment at the football games. Mrs. Owen and Mr. Harris prepare the band and choral club for the an- nual Christmas concert. 21 Patricia Luffman, Carolyn Hite, Faye Dean, and Betsy Yancey practice what they have learned about basketball. FUN. SPORTS AND SPORTSMANSHIP Eighth, ninth and tenth grade students having physical education on their schedules look forward to a period of pleasure and learning. Miss Barbara McCool directs the girls in team and individual sports including basketball, softball, and gymnastics. Mr. Donald Jackson executes a well-planned program for the boys designed to teach physical skills and to provide enjoyment of various sports. Coach Jackson plays with a physical education class. An eighth grade health class listens attentively as Mr. Jackson lectures on bones and muscles. 22 T senior chss With the beginning of the 1961-62 year the seventh graduating class of Bluestone High had one goal in mind — Graduation. As the magical year progressed, the reality of being a senior came with the class rings. More work added to the reality. The seventh graduating class worked diligently raising money for a gift to the school. Seniors headed many organizations: the S, C. A., Beta Club, F.F. A., Scribblers, Golden Link, Moni- tor, and the Band. The seventh and magical year at Blue- stone was certainly such a year for the seniors who will leave high school with many memories and a better preparation for life. 23 Burnette Lewis Carter Moore Hodge SENIOR CLASS President . . .

Elmer Hodge SPONSORS Mrs. Mary Lenhart Mrs. Rachel Pixley Miss Rebecca Spicer Miss Emily Turner The Seniors of today could hardly be recog- nized as the eighth graders of five years ago. Many things have happened since then: as ninth graders they began taking part in more outside activities than ever before. In the tenth grade many of them laid plans for their futures as they began to realize the nearness of independent lead- ership. As upper classmen, they entertained the Seniors at the Prom and smilingly marched into their final year at Bluestone High School. As graduation approaches many of them plan to further their education and others plan to take their place in the business world immediately. Whatever their plans may be, they are anticipating the future with eagerness.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Helen Gregory, Mr. O. B. Crowder, and Mr. Harvey Jeffreys the junior class directed their efforts to making money for the seventh annual prom. In December the annual Christmas dance was held. Other projects for raising money included selling pom poms, sweat shirts, and the sale of stew and sweets in the different towns. After the excitement of the prom the junior class ordered their class rings and began looking forward to their senior year. 45 THE JUNIOR CLASS President . . . Vice-President Secretary . , .

Crowder, Jr. Mr. Harvey Jeffreys As school opened inSeptember the Class of 63 was raring to go. They immediately set forth to plan money making projects for boosting their funds. Among these projects were a beauty pageant, Christmas dance, sweet sale, pompons, sweat shirt and nittee sale. With these projects came hard work, but the students enjoyed working together and had fun doing so. Not all the juniors attention was on money making, however, because with such subjects as chemistry, English, American history, French, and plane geometry, grade making was important also. All the Juniors are looking forward to the prom and the ordering of class rings which are two exciting events in the Junior year at Bluestone. 46 Tony Accettullo Scarlett Bass Bob Bjork Joan Black Patricia Blackwell Randolph Blanks JUNIOR CLASS Martha Boswell Jane Brewer Charles Bridges Ruth Buchanan Lucy Bxigg Brenda Burnette Mac Burnette Sandra Burns 47 Stanley Carlton Nancy Carr Jerry Carter Martie Chappell Carolyn Chewning Patricia Clark JUNIOR Ann Coleman Jerry Dalton Esther Dayberry Hilda Edgerton Patsy Edgerton Carolyn Edmunds John Elliott Wayne Falls 48 Rachel Faucette Barbara Franklin Judy Garland Patsy Garrett Zennie Garrett Linda Greene CLASS Eddie Gregory Wade Gregory Bobby Griffin Mary Haga Mary Frances Harris Linda Hawker June Herndon 49 Carol Hite Margie Holbrook Vickie Hope Nancy Howerton Julian Hudson Dorothy Humphreys JUNIOR Peggy Jennings Hilda Jones Louise Jones Chester Johnson Annie Sue Keeton Virginia Keeton Betty Lail Jane Lenhart 50 Ray Linthicum Judy McCall Kaye McCutcheon Douglas Moore Jeanne Morgan Warren Mosely CLASS Ernest Newcomb Julia Newcomb Betty Newman Pat Newton Robert Owen Rufus Parker Nancy Parks Beatrice Pruitt 51 Harrison Puryear Cortez Ragland Tommy Ritt r -r Esther Royster Brownie Sales Linda Satterwhite JUNIOR Jimmy Seay Charles Simmons Stephanie Sizemore Wayne Sizemore William Smith Connie Stembridge Shirley Stephens Doris Terry 52 Laura Jean Thomas Nancy Thompson Randy Thompson Evelyn Toone Lacy Toone Leonard Towery CLASS Mary Alice Towery Blanche Tuck Milton Tuck Shirley Jo Waldrep Tommy Walker Beverly Webb Joyce Webb Linda Wilbourne 53 Marshall Wilkinson Mason Wilkinson Marshall Williams 1 Martha Williams Myra Williams Betty Witherspoon JUNIOR CLASS Charles Yancey Floyd Yancey Frederick Yancey Roy Yancey 54 This the seventh magical year ot Bluestone was the year the tenth graders began to discover the enjoyment and enthusiam of high school a tenth grader usually finds at this time.

They eagerly looked forward to their first year of high school, and dreamingly longed for the day they would be upper-classmen. Atthe close of school many of them were chosen to work on the MONITOR and the GOLDEN LINK staffs, and in other organizations at Bluestone High School. 75 The eighth grade began this year with a confused but enthusiastic state of mind. They soon became aware of the many opportunities offered in the school curriculum. Participating in extracurricular activities this year, the students have already begun to feel a part of their school. From them will come new ideas and talents.

From the very beginning of plans for the year’s work, theSCA has vigorously strived for better stand- ards at Bluestone. Many committees were ap- pointed and accomplishments of each proved outstanding. The over-all goal during the year was to make the students feel that they are a part of the SC A . A donation to the future in- tercom-record player for the school was the SCA project for the year. Many activities were aided by the SCA including Homecoming; May Night; and the White Christmas, Red Cross, Tuberculosis, March of Dimes, and Easter Seal drives. The District, State, and National As- sociations were also influenced by the work of the organization, and students represented Blue- stone at District meetings and the State Work- shop and Convention.

IMPROVES SCHOOL GROUNDS At the beginning of the school term, a slate of officers, who are responsible for FHA programs during the year, are presented to the FHA members. These officers attend Fed- eration meetings and the FHA State Convention. Those who attended the Convention, held at the Hotel Roanoke at Roanoke, Virginia, last June 19 through June 22, were Joan Spain, Brenda Burnette, and Peggy Pennell. The activities andworkfor this year were devoted to one national objective; to interpret the value of home economics as a basic part of one ' s total education. State projects selected were; (1) understanding the homemaking program of work, (2) becoming acquainted with the responsibilities of a homemaker, and (3) planning work areas in the home. The executive committee, officers and class representatives, plans the meetings for the year. There is a FHA and FFA Camp at Mogart ' s Beach, Smithfield, Virginia, for anyone tak- ing home economics or agriculture who would like to attend. The members of the FHA have projects on which they work at home. They also have entries in the County Fair each year. On April 27, 1961, Bluestone ' s FHA chapter honored all the schools in the Twin County Federation at the annual Spring Rally. Last year the FHA chapter planted a rose bush on the grounds with plans to build a trellis. 104 FIRST ROW: J. Rice, D. Frazier, J. Spain, H. Jones, B. Burnette, L. Cody, P.

In 1958 the athletic stadium was completed and Blue- stone played their first of many games before a capacity crowd. This year, 1961, saw the erection of a much needed electric scoreboard for toe athletic field. The football team finished second in the District last year, and the basketball team has participated in several District tournaments. The first seven years at Bluestone have certainly been magical for the sports minded of Bluestone. 109 UNDERDOG BARONS Head Coach Don Jackson Assistant Coach O. B. Crowder Assistant Coach Joe Plaster The surprising Bluestone Baron foot- ball team secured an over-all 6-3 record against a murderous schedule. The young Barons playing with only two returning lettermen amassed a 5-1 record in Group II District -in. Their district record was good for second place in the district stand- ings, the highest in Bluestone history. The Seven Seniors R. Ramsey, J. Lewis, B. Buchanan, L. ElUxon, T. Gill, M. Chewning, T. Wildman. Quad-Captains T. Wildman, R. Ramsey, L. Ellixon, T. Gill SURPRISE THE DISTRICT The underdog Barons emerged victorious as they crushed the league -leading Park View Dragons 13-0. Bluestone ' s offense sparkled as Ronnie Ramsey scored a 68 yard touchdown. The Rebel defense stunned the Dragons when they stopped their fast backfield and intercepted four aerials. John Lewis, who intercepted one of these aerials, ran 69 yards, and scored Bluestone ' s second touchdown. The Barons completed their district schedule by traveling to Charlotte Court- house and defeating a strong Randolph Henry team, 13-6. This victory assured the Barons of a second place finish in the district. The same night, however, the Barons lost their chance to be champs as Blackstone defeated Crewe to take off the crown. The Barons got on the winning track when they met Victoria in Bluestone ' s Home- coming. The Barons looked good as they carried off a 13 to 7 victory. Bluestone won their first game against a stubborn Buckingham team. Again the Barons showed their lack of experience, but they got together to push across a late touch- down and secure a 7-6 victory. Although the Barons lost to Fredrick Military Academy, it was that game that made a team out of the Barons. The Barons, although outweighed over twenty pounds per man, did not back down and remained in the game almost all the way. Fredrick prevailed however by a score of 37-25. The Barons opened their season against a strong Brunswick High School team that was the preseason favorite to win the district championship. The Barons played a hard game but showed their inexperience at times as they fell to the Bulldogs 19-0. For their third game the Barons traveled toBrunswickfor a return match. The Barons opened fast and carried a 12-7 lead into half- time, but in the second half the much larger Bulldog team wore out the Barons and carried off a 25-12 victory. The Barons played one of their fine games as they defeated a strong Greensville County High team 20-0, after going into the half tied 0-0. The season ended on Senior Night when the much improved Baron team defeated Prince Edward Academy 19-0.

The cheerleaders put in many long hours of work to get ready for the football and basketball games this year. Among some of the cheerleaders ' activities were decor- ating the goal posts before games, decorating the halls and stadium with posters, holding pep rallys, and having a bon- fire before the Homecoming game to encourage school spirit.

The Bluestone Barons successfully open- ed their 196 1-62 basketball season with a 49- 38 victory over Kenbridge. The Barons made a surprisingly strong showing considering that most of the squad lacked experience. Ronnie Ramsey and Richard Burnette were the only two returning from last year ' s team, Jerry Carter, Jerry Dalton, and Bobby Griffin were the new members of the team in the starting line-up. Bluestone ' s first game in January was played at Crewe. The Barons met a strong Crewe team and lost a hard fought battle. It was a tight game thoughout, but Crewe man- aged to score those all important baskets near the end. Although the Barons kept fight- ing, they were defeated by a score of 44-43. After a five game losing streak, Blue- stone traveled to Blackstone. The Barons played hard but were losing at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the de- termined team outscored Blackstone to take a well-earned 39-35 victory. I I 1 19 BASKETBALL TEAM On January 12, the Barons broke a five game los- ing streak by downing the Blackstone Rams 39-35. The Barons took advantage of several Blackstone errors to pull ahead in the closing minutes of the game. After a defeat by Kenbridge and a victory over Randolph-Henry, the Barons met Victoria on the Pan- thers home court. At the end of three quarters of play, Victoria was leading 31-28. However, Bluestone pulled ahead in the fourth quarter by an extremely strong ef- fort to win the game 51-42. On February 2, the Barons interrupted their dis- trict schedule to take on Prince Edward Academy. The fine offensive and defensive play of the Bluestone squad enabled them to take the lead early and hold it through- out the game defeating the Wolverines 66-55. When the 1961-62 basketball season ended, Bluestone had a 5-9 record in the district and a 6-9 record in overall compe- tition. Standing eighth in the district, the Barons played Brunswick in the opening tournament game on February 21, at Hamp- den-Sydney. Brunswick High School, who later won the tournament, eliminated Blue- stone in this game. As the season drew to an end, Bluestone met Em- poria, who downed them 55-50 at Greensville. Then the Barons played Randolph-Henry and Park View in return matches to be defeated by the Statesmen 51-36 and the Dragons, 49-43. 120 4 WINS SIX LOSES TEN Richard Burnette Ronnie Ramsey Jerry Carter Terry Wildman Bobby Griffin ;2i Jerry Dalton Randy Thompson Nicky Collins Lynn Rockwell Bobby Lenhart 122 J V FOOTBALL TEAM GOES UNDEFEATED FIRST ROW: C.

The little Barons were victorious over Halifax, Brunswick, Kenbridge, Randolph-Henry, and Park View. Victoria defeated the J.V. ' s by a nar- row margin; and, they were defeated in return matches with Halifax and Park View. Outstanding play was ex- hibited this year by H. J.

The Brunswick girls held the Baronettes to a tight score during the first quarter, but as the game proceeded the Baronettes pulled into the lead. The Bluestone offensive and defensive teams continued their strong effort throughout the game to down Brunswick 54-30. On January 19, the Bluestone girls met Kenbridge in a match which proved even as the game ended in a tie. After one overtime the game was still tied, so a second overtime followed in which the Kenbridge girls managed to get the lead and defeat the Baronettes 59-54. The Baronettes played the last game of the season against Park View, February 16, on their home court. The Bluestone girls displayed fine team work and spirit in the match against their cross-country rivals defeat- ing the team 54-26. Standing fourth in the district, the Baronettes jour- neyed to Randolph-Henry, March 2, for the opening tournament game against the number one team, Ken- bridge. The score was tight throughout the game and ended in a tie. In the overtime which followed the Ba- ronettes lost to the Comets 46-43. 125 Patsy Edgerton Forward Esther Royster Forward Brownie Sales Forward Ann Wildman Forward Jean Helms Forward 126 Mary Ann Wood Guard Patricia Wooton Guard Elaine Crowder Guard Mary Haga Guard Betty Moore Guard Diana Frazier Guard 127 Nancy Carr Guard ' 61 TRACK TEAM BREAKS THREE RECORDS FIRST ROW: J.

This record gave the Barons a second place standing in the district. The Barons opened the season against a strong Victoria team but showed their first game jitters as they dropped a 5-2 decision after leading 2-1 going into the last inning. Bluestone won their first game of the season when they defeated a strong Brunswick team 3-2 in eight in- nings of play. The Barons took their second victory in a row as they defeated Emporia 9-6. The hitting attack came alive in the next game when the Barons defeated the visiting Cumberland High School team 6-0. The team then traveled to Charlotte Courthouse to play the undefeated Randolph- Henry Statesmen. The Barons led 5-3 early in the game but Randolph- Henry scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win 6-5. When Bluestone met Victoria again, they failed to get a hit and were downed 3-0. Next the Barons met their county rivals, Park View, and defeated them 5-3. The Barons entertained Emporia in a return game and soundly defeated the Eagles 9-1. Next came the Barons high point of the season when they downed previously undefeated Randolph-Henry 3-2 with a run in the last inning. In a return engagement with Park View, the Barons stomped the Dragons 9-1. Bluestone closed their season with a 4-1 victory over Kenbridge. Coach O. B. Crowder Hughes Roberts winds up for the big pitch. That all important game. 130 Seven magical years at Bluestone have produced many traditions. Each year the Homecoming Court and May Day Court are elected. For the first time in Bluestone ' s history the same girl received both honors of Homecoming and May Day Queen. In the last few years Miss Bluestone and Miss Golden Linkhavebeen elected. Another feature at Bluestone which is looked forward to is the Junior-Senior Prom. These are some of the activities which afford enjoyment for Blue- stone students. 131 HOMECOMING OBSERVED OCTOBER 20. 1961 Sara Childrey, Homecoming Queen Through the seven magical years at Bluestone traditions have been made and this year some were changed. For the first time in Bluestone ' s history the Homecoming Queen was not announced until the dance.
