A year’s life of GOING PLACES is crammed into a few short pages. The 1968 Golden Link hopes to capture in pictures and words the remembrance of this student body as we go forward together and develop as maturing adults. The whole story of our progress can- not be found here, only pieces, but pieces designed to bring back thoughts of days gone by. As this school year draws to a close, we continue to move forward to accept the challenge of the future. The Golden Link serves as a proof that Bluestone High School will never stand still, but will always GO PLACES! 7 )e y the 196S staff cfecftcate this year ' s ffofcfen J2inJ ? to JKr. tRanny J J artricfge All students at Bluestone know Mr. Partridge as an understanding friend and teacher. The entire student body profits by his guidance, patience, and unlimited kindness. In his profession of teaching others, Mr. Partridge helps Bluestone students develop their ability and knowledge in advanced mathematics. In school activities, Mr. Partridge participates with enthusiasm. He served, this year, as advisor to the Golden Link staff. Because of his devotion and contributions to Bluestone, we dedicate to him, with ad- miration and love, the 1968 Golden Link. 6 Administration I3eacfs SCHOOL BOARD SITTING: Mrs. Rebecca C.

The students are allowed to illustrate their creative skills through their participation. 12 Mrs. Elizabeth Owen Longwood College, B.A. Bluestone’s Music and Art Departments gave the students a chance to develop their talents and to ex- press themselves. Through participation and practice, the students gained knowledge as well as enjoyment. The band, under the direction of Mr. Conner, and the Choral Club, under the direction of Mrs. Owen, continued to merit attention by their successful per- formances. The Art students, instructed by Miss Holden, learned to recognize the artistic value of all around them. ) Mrs. Bernice Owen Longwood College B.S. £, oreicjn il ancjuaaes Latin and French are the two foreign languages offered at Bluestone.

Future homemakers acquired skills in home management, wardrobe and budget planning, and nutrition. These skills enabled students to be independent in areas such as meal planning, sewing, entertaining, and personal relation- ships. In addition, they learned the management of resources, time, energy, and money as well as the techniques of housekeeping. 18 Mr. W. C. Crowder East Carolina College, B.S.

It did not take them long to get used to Bluestone life. They immediately began GOING PLACES by completing a very successful magazine campaign. At the beginning of their Freshman year, the Class of ’68 started to GO PLACES by participating in Junior Var- sity Sports and becoming members of various clubs and organizations. In their Sophomore year the Class of ’68 really began to play an important part in Bluestone life. They were GOING PLACES by taking part in varsity sports, cheerleading, and clubs. As Juniors they began GOING PLACES by understanding the importance of acceptance into colleges or prepara- tion for a career in the world of business. They took college boards in the spring and also engineered a very success- ful prom, “Oriental Gardens”. Entering their final and most important year, the Class of ’68 numbered 131. They immediately began GOING PLACES when they received their long-awaited class rings in September. Throughout the year they practiced their seniority as leaders of the school in clubs, classes, and sports. As the time for graduation drew near, the Seniors made plans for the future. In spite of the sadness in the hearts of the Seniors as they remember their five years at Bluestone High School, they will experience a thrill of excitement when they remember that they will continue GOING PLACES throughout their lives. eniors Joseph David Beam James Edward Bohannon Doris Jean Bell Wallace Randolph Bowen Paul Duffer Billings Kenneth Warren Blankenship Claude Cecil Bowman, Jr. Jacqueline Louise Brame 23 Alice Belle Brewer Charles Edward Buchanan Nancy Lee Brewer Samuel Larry Bugg Carl Edward Bruce, Jr. Michael Ray Burnette Linda Beales Bryson Roy Jackson Burns, Jr. eniors SENIORS working on the Senior Class Float are, Anderson, Paul Owen, Thomas Stembridge, Joe Tis- Priscilla Dawn Campbell James Bailey Coghill Martha Jane Carter Carolyn Finch Colgate Jacqueline Lee Chappell Gloria June Collins Richard Phillip Clark Linda Kay Crawley eniors LEFT to RIGHT: Sonny Keene, Hughes Rhodes, Roy dale, Kent Wilmouth, and Wright Sizemore.

In the fall, they made a stew and collected dues in order to help finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Many Juniors found themselves taking chemistry, algebra and trigonometry, American History, French, and English. They participated in varsity sports and cheerleading, the Monogram, Pep, and Beta Clubs, the Monitor and Golden Link staffs, and the S.C.A., F.B.L.A., F.F.A., and F.H.A. As spring approached. Junior activities included the prom, the ordering of class rings, and college boards. These things helped to make many Juniors aware of the advancement in their high school careers. Yes, now that only one year of high school remains, the Class of ’69 will indeed be GOING PLACES.

In GOING PLACES the sophomores revealed their talents by taking part in JV and varsity sports. They displayed their interests by taking part on the annual and Monitor staffs, the FHA and FFA clubs, the Choral Club, and the Band. The Class of ’70 also is represented in the SCA and the Monogram Clubs. In GOING PLACES these students have explored into many fields by taking World History, Biology, Business Math, Latin, Typing, Geometry, and other subjects. By having reached their many goals this past year, the Class of ’70 determines to continue GOING PLACES by gaining helpful knowledge throughout their future. cS ophom ores JoAnn Carter Mary Etta Carter Ann Catnipe Allen Davis Jimmy Forbnes Larry Chapman Kathy Dean Roger Franklin Eddie Coghill Brenda Evans Augusta Frazier Deborah Coleman Marilyn Coleman Bob Fleming Phyllis Flinn Barbara Freemen Debra Freeman J.

The mysterious expectations bewildered these new students, who joyously looked forward to the road which lay ahead. Where were the places they could go? What were the activities in which they could participate? Soon they answered these questions by taking part in extracurricular activities such as JV cheerleading, football, and basketball. These eighth graders were indeed GOING PLACES! They also proved this by their magazine sales, by creating a Homecoming Float which took the prize for third place, and especially by bettering their school with their help in clubs, sports, and organizations.

The GOLDEN LINK staff has really been “going places” by time and hard work to make the 1968 GOLDEN LINK successful. Although the staff was smaller than usual this year, a business staff was added. This staff, along with the class, club, features, sports, and photography staffs, had specific duties. In September, staff members began the various tasks necessary to make an annual. They sold ads and annuals, and planned pictures to be taken by Max Ward and the two staff photographers. Later, the pictures were classi- fied. articles were written, and layouts were made. These were sent into the publisher by December 15 and Janu- ary 15, the two deadlines. Then everyone could sit back and await the result of their efforts.

Jrauef the Roacf of 5 xperience Coach Crowder gives Pre-game instructions to Lenhart, King, Judy, and Wilson. The team started the season with a win over Randolph-Henry 31—26. Moving to our county rival. Park View, the J.V.’s were defeated 45—28 and also downed by Halifax 27—21 and Dinwiddie 33—23. Despite these losses, the J.V.’s pulled through and defeated Cumberland 40—16 and Halifax 47—33 in a return match. The team was defeated in the next two games, Park View 47—33 and Central 31—29, but the enthusiasm of the boys gained them two wins in the final two games of the season, Central 31—28; Randolph Henry 30—28. Bagbey goes up for two in Dinwiddie game!! 107 Under the direction of Coach O. B. Crowder, the J.V.’s com- pleted a season with a 5-5 record. The team showed great abilities, even though they only had one player returning from last year, Johnny Lenhart. The fine teamwork and enthusiasm proved to be two of the team’s greatest assets. John Tull, a transfer student from William Byrd High School in Vinton, Va., joined the team late in the season and proved to be a great aid in offense, as well as defense.

Jjarons D ' inis i JiJtD in District Getting off to a slow start this year, the Barons finished the season with an impressing string of wins. Six out of the first ten games were losses, but from that point the Barons carried a six game winning streak to the end of the season. Four out of those last six games were wins over the top seated teams in the district. The Barons ended up in fifth place in the district at the end of regular-season play. Beating Cen- tral of Lunenburg in the quarter finals and Randolph Henry in the semifinals, the Barons lost a very close game to Park View to come in second only to the champions in tournament play. Managers: Charlie Ramsey and Clift Morgan Coach Ed West Ricky Rickman Wayne Lenhart Harrell Bagbey Frankie Smiley In the season opener, the Barons traveled to Brunswick and were handed a 33—46 defeat. The Barons fared much better in their second game against the Buckingham Buccaneers. Due to a solid team effort, the Barons were able to defeat the Buccaneers 45—26. The Barons fell victim to their county rival. Park View, in the third game of the season. The closely matched teams fought hard throughout the entire game, but the Dragons edged out 42-39 in the closing minutes of the final quarter. In their first home game of the season, the Barons trounced the Crewe Railroaders 59-29. The better staffed Baron team controlled the ball throughout the entire game. Back on the road, the Barons faced the Blackstone team in their fifth game of the season. The Baron team won a clear-cut victory over the Rams with a final score of 67—45. Clarence Short Leroy King Tyler Howerton Mark Lowery Johnny Bryant Jesse Judy (LEFT) stayed out most of the season due to injuries. John Tull (RIGHT) joined the team late in the year. Lee Easter demonstrates good form as Brunswick player looks on in disgust. On the losing end of a three point split the first Park View game, the Barons turned the tables and defeated the Dragons 51-48. Steadily improving, the Barons met the Central Chargers for a second time and soundly put them down 72—52. The Barons handily over-powered and consistently out-played the Amelia Orioles for an 82-24. The Barons faced the top-rated Randolph-Henry Statesmen and defeated them on their home court. This was a sweet victory for the Barons at 63-53. The Barons finished their season with a six game winning streak, defeating the even ranked Greensville Eagles in a close match. The final score was 57—51. The Barons were hosts to the Dinwiddie Generals in their second home game of the season. It was a hard fought game right down to the wire with the Generals managing to edge the Barons 57 — 48. The next game of the season again pitted the Barons against the Generals. Traveling to Dinwiddie the Barons were handed a 59—43 defeat. The Bluestone Barons suffered another defeat as they fell to the Central Chargers. The final score was 53-43. The arrival of a long awaited victory boosted the the morale of the Baron team as they dropped the Cumberland Dukes 64—5 1 . Bluestone met the Randolph Henry Statesmen for the first time on the Baron’s home court. From the beginning of the first quarter i t was anybody’s game but the Statesmen managed to come out of the win- ning end of the close 55-54 score. The second Bluestone game against the Cumberland Dukes turned out to be a rough one. The Barons main- tained the lead throughout the entire game winning with a final score of 57—31.

This year, the Varsity Cheerleaders were able to create a new interest in promoting school spirit. By sending sev- eral of the cheerleaders to a summer camp, new cheers and ideas were obtained for pep rallies and games. Working together with the band, students and faculty, Bluestone’s support for the Baron’s was the best ever. The cheerleaders introduced surprise send-offs for the Barons before they left to meet their opponents in an away game. This helped give the team the support they needed as the Barons were GOING PLACES! Cheerleaders earn money by washing cars! Mr. T. Wagstaff, Sponsor Promote School Spirit Cheerleaders in action! As basketball season resumed, the Varsity Cheerleaders continued practice and were again prepared for a success- ful season. By alternating turns, each girl was able to cheer at the games. Those cheerleaders not cheering were busy giving their support as spectators. The cheerleaders continued determinedly to stress the importance of sportsmanship to all. Their support en- couraged the Barons and Baronettes to win. The Bluestone Varsity Cheerleaders worked hard to gain everyone’s support, whether winning or losing, to prove true the familiar cheer S-P-I-R-l T!!

Ten spirited girls were chosen in the fall of the year by a group of teachers and students to be the 1967-68 Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. This group, consisting of six freshmen and four eighth graders, made up the seventh squad of Junior Varsity Cheerleaders in the history of Bluestone. The girls were sponsored by Miss Judy Holden and Mr. James Hodson. This ambitious squad worked hard and enthusiastically as they were successful in cheering their team to an undefeated football season. As basketball season approached, the girls divided into two squads led by co-captains Gay Gould and Susan Marks. The J.V. Cheerleaders continued to urge the “Baby Barons” to victory and to promote good school spirit.

Highlighting the activities of the day was the crowning of Homecoming Queen, Mary McWhite. The crowning was done by co-captains, Monte Tamersoy and Ricky Rickman. Other attendants were Jacque Chappell, Joanne Morgan, and Beth Park, re- pr esenting the Senior class. Juniors Linda Bond, Deborah Davis, and Janelle Judy were also on the court along with Debra Freeman and Sylvia Inge, sophomores. The representative from the ninth grade was Susan Marks while Ren Gould was the eight grade attendant. By the final hour of the day the last crepe paper rosette was in place; the band and majorettes at attention; and the students were packed in the stands, anxiously awaiting the afternoon pep rally. The rally began with a caravan of floats representing various classes and clubs. First place was awarded to the ninth grade and second place to the F. F.A. The winner of third place was the eighth grade and the Senior Class won honorable mention. That night at the ballgame, halftime activities included a fire-baton solo by Jackie Brame with the assistance of the Bluestone Band and Majorettes. To make the night even more enchanted, the Amelia Orioles fell victims to the Barons in a crushing defeat. Jt oanne oryan mi Cet i Carl?

The Monitor and the Golden Link were represented by two members each. “Going Places” meant rushing to editorial, feature, sports, business and other meetings. Each school was judged on their newspaper and yearbook. Last year the Monitor and the Golden Link received high ratings. GOING PLACES means traveling for Boys and Girl’s State delegates to William and Mary and Radford College, respectively. Delegates are sent from high schools all over Virginia. During the week, representatives learn about the work of the government and its functions and about accepting responsibilities of state and city offices. Each delegate is selected for his ability as a leader, for his citizenship and deportment, and for his scholastic standing. miuammm Lbl 11 III II il l!
