A YEAR OF • • THE 1959 Pattie Goodman Harold Browning Miss Louise Snavely Nancie Warren Business Manager Faculty Adviser Co-Editors 2 4 FOREWORD This year has been a year of progress and growth at Chilhowie High School. With the opening of the school year we advanc- ed into the five-year system, thus providing the students with a more comprehensive coarse. The school enrollment was the largest in its history with a total of three hundred eighty- seven students, eighty-six of whom made up the Senior Class of 1959. December 2, 1958 will long be remembered as the day we moved into our new high school building, which has many conveniences we never enjoyed before , i n c I u d i n g among many other attractions a beautiful and acoustically-built auditorium, a large gymnasium with adequate showers, a we 1 1 -equipped laboratory, spacious library and office s , and well-lighted classrooms. These and other improvements provide a more pleasant, convenient, and satisfactory atmosp- here in which we can work and develop better study habits. Our added facilities enables us to have county and district events, thereby fostering friendliness, sociability and co-operation. We hope that 1959 will be remembered as the year which marked the opening of a new era of progress and growth in Chilhowie High School.

At this meeting, attended by more than one thousand high school delegates from eleven southern states and the District of Columbia, critical ratings were given school publica- tions. The winning entries in each of the six yearbook groups were given either First Place, Honor, or Achievement Awards, with only one of the First Place Award winners receiving the coveted SIPA trophy for being best in its division. We are proud THE CHILVALEE received this honor and hope that with this encourage- ment we shall continue to progress and make each yearbook better than the last. . . .

A. ■ SUPERINTENDENT OF SMYTH COUNTY SCHOOLS Shepherd College, Concord College, Emory and Henry College, Peabody College University of Virginia The theme for this volume, Growth and Progress, is a very appropriate one, and I commend the Class of ' 59 for its selec- tion. Your fine new high school building is a visible sign of progress, and my obser- vations lead me to believe that there has been much progress in all phases of your school program. Growth and progress just do not happen. They are the result of careful planning and an eternal attention and devotion to the things which make for a good school. My sincerest congratulations to all of youforyour fine spirit and my best wishes for the future. . Q eryxxJI; Vlf CUtcJL It is my sincere privilege to congratulate our Annual Staff and commend each in- dividual person for his excellent work on this yearbook. The theme of Growth and Progress is so appropriate that any words 1 might write will be an anti-climax. Our new plant and twelve-year program are sym- bols of development. I wish each and every one of you the very best in the future. Remember your school. MR. GEORGE FRENCH KREGER, A. B., M. S.

As we, the Seniors of Chilhowie High School, approach the end of our high schooldays, let us pause for a few moments to look back upon the incidents that have occurred since that August morning of 1955. 1955: A group of students entered CHS, perplexed and bewildered, yet willing to learn, A few of us got lost and went to wrong classes, but other than that, we did rather well adjusting to a completely new schedule.

We were proud, too, because we were the largest Freshman Class ever at CHS. Nancie Warren was class president. With a few drop-outs we entered our second year in high school. 1956: Our Sophomore year began rather well with a total enrollment of one hundred twelve. As underclassmen still, we had a lot to learn, but we were still progressing at a rapid pace. David Blevins was president alongwith an all- male slate of officers, a fact which was very unusual. That season our foot- ball team was a top contender for the District Seven championship but lost to Abingdon. However, we were ve ry proud that our Seniors devolop skills in typing amid the pleasant, comfortable surroundings of the new well-lighted business depart- ment. WILLIAM THOMAS FREEMAN Tom F. F.

We really worked hard selling shoe polish and fountain pens to raise money for a social I in the spring. At Christmas we promoted I a goodwill campaign by helping needy families in the community. With Anna Sue Blevins as president we continued ! to progress educationally and financi- ■ ally. Our presentation of the Junior j Play, A F amily Crisis was very I successful. We made, we feel, a last- ing contribution to our school by select- ing a standard Senior class ring design, I consisting of the Virginia state emblem and a warrior ' s head. Then came spring.

Hol- ston Hills Country Club was the scene of this event, which everyone enjoyed. The club was beautifully decorated in Japanese style, andeach guest received an attractive Japanese favor. Then the following week, to bid our upperclass- men farewell and to show them how much we had enjoyed their friendship, we treated them to a hayride at Hungry Mother State Park. 1958: Finally came our Senior year, the year that we had once looked forward to but now entered reluctantly. We were granted the privilege of being the first Seniors to enter the new high school building. We have enjoyed every minute Gene Autry Blevins very skillfully decorates the chalk boards in several classrooms at Christmas time. BRENDA JOYCE LOVEKN F. H.

We elected David Blevins as our Senior class presi- dent. Anticipating the expenses of a Washington trip and graduation exer- cises, we sold magazines to raise money. We did quite well, even surpassing all previous sales in our school. Sonny Goodman, Barry Rice, Harold Browning, and Carol Bonham were high salesmen. We also hope to break all school records by being the largest Senior class to go to Washington, and to graduate from CHS. BeLuctantly, we are coming to the end of our high school days and as we move on and another class takes our place, we would like to say to the faculty that we really appreciate everything they have done for us.

FOOTBALL The mighty Warriors had one of their most successful seasons under Head Coach Cleve Compton and assis- tant Coach Hubert Ashe this year. The Warriors finished the season second only to Glade Spring, and this was the only district defeat they had. Probably the most exciting game was the last one of the season when the Warriors defeated Abingdon (20- 19) for the first time in many years. The game was an especially hard- fought one because each player was out to win. It was a great team exhibition, but special recognition should be given Don Martin for catching thirteen of thirteen passes thrown to him. We congratulate the Warriors on a thrilling and most successful season. Coaches Compton, Mellinger, and Ashe talk with Co-Captains Don Martin and James Thomas.
