T he idea of the original thirteen colonies and their leaders was born out of a passion to be freeeto chart their own destiny of building a country out of this thin fabric called Freedom. ' ' The break from England was not to come easily, as this fledgling was viewed as a ser- ious threat to the tentacles of the vast and far-flung British Empire. atriots rose from every corner of the struggling country. Help came from other European countries to add to the flame of breaking the grip of England. Farmers, fish- ermen, cobblers and men from every walk of life took up their arms to defend this new- felt right to be free. As the smoke began to clear, ideas on organizing this diversity of colonies into a coalition of united states I began to take shape. The form of a Constitu- tion and Bill of Rights was molded by states- men who previously were nonexistent. n wau ts ts vast do- 1mm1gran lers were i th d resources, thousands of poured in to start a new life.

The battle was to leave scars which would heal only after generations had passed. Out of the wounds came a stronger fiber of freedom for the individual; man. The country had survived as a unit and now its energies would be put to work in rebuilding the found- ing fathers, ideals. ' t .1 $513,er ..

As students raced through the halls during the first days, additions to the school, such as the smoking areas and a senior lounge, were easily visible. A new football locker room and equip- ment were christened at the first offi- cial football practice at 12:01 am. on August 15. The gridsments hard work and devotion were rewarded with a well-deserved MSC championship. A lone loss to Providence was the only mar on an otherwise perfect season. $$mw : O 1 .36 'ts....... lVlS Act Motivators . . . . . .50 .82 Contenders . . . .

The main program began with the presentation of colors by the fife and drum corps, a division of the band. With Uncle Sam as MC, a patriotic atmosphere developed. A choral reading, a colon- ial fashion show, and a speech about the bicentennial heritage were ac- cented by an emotional patriotic finale of ttAmerica the Beautiful? Following the program, members of the public were invited to view the various historical plays, documents and inventions exhibited by the stu- dents. The signing of the Declaration of Independence and the recreation of old America were examples of studentst ingenuity. On April 20th, students and com- munity took a trip into history to recreate 200 years of independence and to celebrate the nationts bicen- tennial birthday. tabovey Senior students Susie Reis and Steve Spencer dramatize the meeting of the first Continental Congress. tbelowt Making up displays are antique household items and colonial tools. tabovey Uncle Sam, alias Tom Brower, says, bl want you to enjoy yourselves?

Even with laughing in class and going barefoot in cow pastures for pictures, the staff always got the work done. The pencils 0f the copy writers, the proportion wheels of the layout staff and the new camera for the photographer were busy re- cording the year. Working hovertimett to get each shipment in before the deadline and having to do work when they were in thelaziest moods possible made the staffers wish they had never set foot in the yearbook room. Their efforts werentt altogether unrewarded: they produced the ttPirate Log 76? which proved to the staff members that their time had been well-spent.

Hurrying to get each paper done and invariably missing the deadline was a part of journalism the Newspaper Staff hangt expected. Adding to the friend- ly arguments about LaDon Jamest wast- ing paper were Miss Finchts lectures .on how to separate words. The staff camera refused to operate properly, and pictures were hurriedly retaken before each issue was due. Keeping the staff intact was another problem, for halfway through the year, two members departed. They were quickly replaced by two eager report- ers, who completed the staff once again.

By hosting both the foot- ball and basketball Homecoming dances and Spring Day, helping the student body obtain smoking areas, and participating in the Clark County Walk-a-Thon,the Council felt they had 3 Members check out the ttagendatt at a student council meeting. 4 OFFICERS: Billy Smith tPresJ, Marianne J ones tTreasJ, Joanie Lyons tSecJ, Mrs. Merillat tsponson, Susan Long tRepJ, Susie Reis tVPL Randy Henderson tRepJ. put in a full year.

Bananas and Soap Highlighted Spring Day If it hadn,t been for the surprise ap- pearance of the sun, the third annual Spring Day could have appropriately been called Winter Day. But the cold and windy afternoon became warm and sunny and Spring Day was on. The chocolate-faced banana eaters and the soaking wet, soapy-faced ob- stacle course runners added new ex- citement to the competition. The sophomores and juniors made a two- team affair of it, as they fought their way through the afternoon. In the end, the sophomores proved the mightiest, as they came out victors in Spring Day 76. 1 J erri Ingram slides to the finish line dur- ing the obstacle course race. 2 Diane Abbott aims carefully at the bottle during the water carry competition. 3 Susie Schafer traps an apple. 4 The obstacle course sends Angela Crace running in circles. 5 A Spring Day participant splashes his way down the obstacle course. 6 Doug Coyne shows the banana eating contest is ttfinger lickint good? 7 Marsha Johnson and Lanie Huttelmayer ready themselves for the VW race. 8 Marvin Stewart and Valerie Hidalgo demonstrate the messiness of the banana-eating contest. 9 Pulling with all their might, the sophomores win the tug-of-war. 10 Waiting for the starting gun are sack racers Steve Pogue and Shelly Orman. 1 Waiting for the senior night banquet to begin are J erri Ingram, Kathy Daugherty, Shelley Kemp and Rhonda Hopwood. 2 Glenn Ward cautiously adds another can to the ever-growing tower. 3 Kim Rostad chooses from a variety of delicacies at the senior girlst tea. 4 The senior fuing-squad- Paul Knight, Bill Smith, Dan Powell, Dan Rehm, David Propes, Keith Fischer and Steve Hall-attack the photographer with squirt guns.

In the line of the usual, the school offered typing, woodworking, painting, com- pleting math problems, naming coun- tries, writing sentences, taking notes, composing literature and any number of other choices. Getting ttmarriedh in WIhatis Lifeti class, running an obstacle course in physical education and boys taking home economics were all part of the not-so-usual.

The team consisted entirely of underclassmen, with the exception of senior David Propes, who played only in the conference and sectional.

Their season began with new wrestling facilities, a weight room and three victories. Their new facili- ties relieved the overcrowding of the gym and their undefeated start made the matmenis season look hopeful. The remainder of their schedule, however, turned out to be quite a bit tougher, for the wrestlers completed their regular season with a 7-9 record.

The first half of the season was highlighted with the Piratest defeat of Silver Creek and Clarksville to bring home the Holiday Tourney Keg. But the toughest part of the sched- ule lay ahead. A hard fought battle at Floyd Central failed to produce a victory and losses to Austin and Salem ended hopes for a conference crown. In the end the team overcame tough competition to win 20 games, tying a 1937 CHS record. The favored Bucs defeated Madi- son in the sectional finals to earn a second consecutive trip to the re- gional, where they defeated North Harriosn in the opening round.

After leading at halftime, they finally fell to Jeff 44-29. Their lack of size, both in height and number of players, was one reason for a 4-10 season.

They regained confidence before the sectional, however, with two victories, one over a tough Lanesville team.

Community Spirit took many forms, such as the new Civic Center, the lined streets and packed town square during the parade on Home- coming Eve and the wild crowds at football and basketball games. These were only a few examples of involve- ment that made students feel apprecia- tive towards Charlestown and the support it gave. More evidence of support was the backing of the Pirate Achievers of Charlestown.

Moved by this ghost of the past, the class 0f 76 worked to show the other students that the last year should be the best. The seniors, feeling of togetherness began with the presentation of 21 Ben- nington Bicentennial flag to the school. ' This spirit continued on into football season, where, despite placing third in the float contest, the seniors won homecoming spirit week honors. As soon as football season ended, basket- v ball season was upon the school, and the seniors, leading school spirit again, helped push the team to a sec- tional Victory and a 20-5 season record. The Winning tradition was carried on in the girls basketball tournament, where the seniors came out Victorous. . . , , The seniors were kept busy, but CLASS OFFICERS: Becky Williams tRepJ, Pam Cox tTreasJ, Diana Fulkerson tPresJ, Paula somehow they found time to make Heltsley tSecJ, Teresa Phipps tVPT.

But being a teacher at CHS had an additional meaning. The faculty members usually had to double as coaches, sponsors and sometimes, friends. But this close- ness brought about better cooperation between the student and the instruc- tor. This mutual understanding made the teachers special people and the classes a lesson in learning and life. 1 MR. DON NODERER: Insturmental Mu- s10. 2 MR. J OHN MASTIN: Physical Education. 3 MRS.

Starting with band camp in July and ending with Murfreesboro in Oc- tober, the band worked to uphold these words. At band camp, they were faced With the task of changing their style of marching from precision to drum and bugle. After three months of worn-out shoes and fallen arches, they began reaping the rewards of practice and determination. Their initial contest at Danville brought them a first in their class and somewhat reflected their entire season. A second state championship and a clean sweep at Campbell County were two major events that continued the bandts success. Their frne work and to- getherness will help them recall 1975 as a winner. ' 1 Award winning field commander Susan Long adds a sense of pride to the band. 2 The wood- wind section proudly marches across the field. 3 Director Don Noderer instructs the band in their maneuvers. 11,, 1 Towing Europe during the summer of 1975 with Youth in Concert were Lynn Bradshaw and Paula Heltsley. 2 Performing at an assembly program are trio members Linda Mayfield, Lynn Bradshaw and Paula Heltsley.

Musical Groups Combined Talents Marching season ended in the fall and so did the long hours of practice, bus trips and contests. It was then time to transform from a marching band to a concert band. One of the goals of concert band was to improve musical techniques in order to better prepare the members for the upcoming marching season. The concert band doubled as the pep band and played at all home has- ketball games. The highlight of their season was putting on a Bicentennial program with the chorus in the spring.

M. 1;! - c 3hr ' 5 mix? a CV WIN x x WM ' 4wwMWM 42' WWMM ma It was a year of reaching out to ex- perience both the 01d and the new. F mm a second consecutive sectional title to a first regional win and from a sophomore victory on a chilly ttSplring Daytt to a warm Commencement exer- cise, students began to realize the school year was finally nearing an end. No plays for juniors or seniors, plus a ttskip daytt which resulted in the can- cellation of senior day, made the year seem one of many losses. Despite these losses, however, it was truely a ttbusyh year for everyone in his or her own way. Girlst sports expanded and captured more interest and enthusiasm. Bicen- tennial night brought school and com- munity closer together for a chance to relive the ttdays of old? Seniors received their red, white and blue Bicentennial memory books, and the ever-familiar sound of ttDontt forget mett echoed through the empty halls. , The 1975-76 school year was filled with experiences, and the students re- acted with spirit and enthusiasm. 1 David Propes looks in disbelief at the food he is to eat on senior night. 2 Students anx- iously CU prepare to give blood. 3 Mass hys- teria fills the gym as the Pirates capture the sectional crown. 4 Adding flavor to Spring Day is the banana-eating contest. 5 Rapping on the steps are JV team members Kevin Simms, Randy Henderson, John Kellax and Dwayne Mason. 6 Anticipating the needle at the Red Cross Blood Drive is Lisa Johnson. A Year of 1 Adding a memorable moment to the prom coronation is Kathy Daughertyts balancing act with her crown. Lin Ferguson, a member of the court, shares her laughter. 2 One of the many athletes attending the Athletic Banquet is Paula Heltsley. 3 J erry Johns0n, junior coach for the girlst interclass basket- ball tournament, tries to arouse enthusiasm during the time out. 4 Showing that teach- ers have spirit, Mrs. Clyda Lutz dresses in her Bicentennial costume. Experiencing Ended in Memories 1 The senior boys show brute force in the tug-of-war contest on Spring Day. 2 Sherry Hashhs campaign is underway. 3 Protesting the cancellation of the traditional senior day are the students of CH8. 4 Students crowd the football field to observe Spring - Day activities. Spirit is the controlling force of al- most everything. When people are present, so is spirit; it needs only their interest and energy to ignite the fuse. From the opening kick-off of the first football game throughout graduation and the parting of friends, all strived together to achieve the ultimate goal- attaining the greatest amount of spirit. Spirit made the school year of 1975-76 what it was-unique. The ,76 Pirate Log is a uniquely special book to capture the happenings of the year. Contributions from sponsor, Mrs. Dianne Merillat and dedicated staff members, who worked long hours after school, made this book possible. Thank you, the people of CHS, who star in this book and make up its epi- sodes. Diana Fulkerson Editor
