ALLEGHANIAN The ALLEGHANIAN is the yearbook of the Clifton Forge High School. The purpose of the yearbook is to present to the students of this high school a pictoral record of the faculty, students, clubs, organizations, sports, and other major highlights of the complete school year. It is published in the summer in order to include all of the spring events and to make a complete coverage of the whole school year. The staff is composed of fourteen members. These members are chosen from the eighth grade through the twelfth grade. It is divided into the business and the edi- torial staffs. Each year the business staff goes down town to the various merchants and other business establishments to solicit for ads. These help to finance the book. Fees from clubs and subscriptions complete this financing of the yearbook. The editorial staff does most of the work in compiling the ALLEGHANIAN. The yearbook is planned and drawn on dummy layout sheets which are sent to the publisher to aid in publishing the yearbook. Faye Craft, Gaye Craft, and Maurice Flie.ss represented the ALLEGHANIAN staff at the Southern Interscholastic Press Association in April at Lexington, Virginia.

It is published bi-monthly by a staff of nineteen selected students at a cost of 60 cents per school year. All of these help in the work which includes laying out the pages, typing them, and finally mimeographing and stapling them in the MOUNTAINEER room on the second floor. The paper is a member of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association and sent the following delegates to the convention in Lexington: Van Keyser, Terrie Staton, David Entsminger, Nancy Little and Katherine Rule. Student subscriptions and ads finance the paper. Besides covering sports, assemblies, special events, and club activities, the paper has a regular feature page with a column devoted to interviewing and presenting different seniors to the students. Editorials are presented weekly on current topics of interest. They also feature the Live Twenty-Five, which is a list of the top song hits of the week. The staff gave an assembly program in March of this year. Father Malloy was the guest speaker. Miss Connie Adkins and Miss Jean Martin were the faculty members who helped advise and get the paper out on time.

Hl-Y The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y is composed of boys from the freshman through the senior classes. They are chosen on the basis of Christian character and citizenship. This year the Hi-Y had a bake sale to raise money for their annual Christmas formal. Also at Christmas, they had Christmas devotions, along with the Tri-Hi- Y, in each of the home rooms. A contribution was sent to the World Service Fund by the club, and they collected Good Willy bags for the Good Will Industries of Roanoke, Virginia. George Clark, Olaen Burnside, and Clayton Roberson were sent as representatives to the Model General Assembly held in Rich- mond, Virginia, and in the summer, George Sherman and Clayton Roberson were sent as delegates to the Y. M. C. A. workshop in Blue Ridge, North Carolina.

FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA Spell the word paragraph, or I ' m sorry, but you missed that word were statements you might have heard atone of the several spelling bees held during the school year by the F.B.L.A. for its members. The Future Business Leaders of America is the national youth organizations for high school and college students enrolled in business subjects. It is devoted to providing young adults with educational, vocational, and leadership experiences. The F.B.L.A. of our school was an active club with thirty members. During the year, the members planned and carried out many projects. They got off to a good start in the fall by winning second place with their float in the Homecoming Parade. In order to raise money, the club had a bake sale and sold Christmas holly. An informative assembly program was presented December 5th called Susie Brainless. Later activities included spelling contests, members of the club working down town in a business office, having a business man speak to the club, an awards banquet in May, and a spring picnic.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA With the last knock of the president ' s gavel at the first meeting, the Future Homemakers of America began its 1959-60 year. This organization is designed to help girls become better homemakers for the future. It is made up of girls who take Home Economics; however, when these girls were not sewing, cooking, and studying other phases of housekeeping, they were participating in the many activities of the F.H.A. Some of these many activities included: the pre- sentation of favors to the teachers at the beginning of the school year, entering a float in the Homecoming Parade, selling letter hounds as a moneymaking project, col- lecting a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family, and giving toys and clothes to children of needy families at Christmas, observing F.H.A. Week in April, having a Mother-Daughter Banquet for all the members, and attending the F.F. A. -F.H.A. Camp at Smithfield, Virginia during the summer. Anita Hill, F.H.A. President, was crowned Queen at the Mother-Daughter Banquet held in the high school on April 21st. The club was composed of twenty-six mem- bers.

STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION The purpose of the Student Cooperative Association is to act as a school government. Every student in school is a member. Representatives from each homeroom and four officers are elected each year in order to carry out the wishes of the students. The S.C.A. promoted a knowledge and interest of good government among students. It aids in the develop- ment of loyal constructive spirit among the students and the faculty. It encourages students to accept and to dis- charge their responsibilities to themselves and to their school. This year, the S.C.A. made an effort to increase its power. A new constitution was drawn up, and a sugges- tion box was put in the hall for the purpose of getting new ideas for the constitution. Miss Elizabeth Lloyd, a rep- resentative of the state office, came to advise the mem- bers on revising their constitution. The S.C.A. drew up the school calendar and also a schedule of assemblies for the school year. They held the annual Eighth grade initiation assembly in the fall. At Christmas, a lovely Christmas tree was decorated and placed in the main hall. Three representatives, Karen Deaton, Donna Nelson and Joe Copenhaver, were sent to the High School Forum held in March at Jefferson Senior High School, Roanoke, Virginia.

In 1959 the Mountaineers had a semi-successful gridiron year in which they had a .500 percentage both in the district at 4-4, and over-all at 5-5. To open the campaign the Mountaineers stomped arch- rival Central 28-7. Junior quarterback George Reynolds threw 3 touchdown passes in this game, 2 to halfback Carroll Paxton and 1 to end Mickey Moss. After a 27-0 winover James River, the Mountaineers first tasted defeat at the hands of Waynesboro. But Clifton Forge quickly retaliated with a 19 point final period and 25-6 win over V.S.D.B. And also in the annual Homecoming game the Mountaineers proved victors as they knocked Natural Bridge from the unbeaten ranks 13-6. The Green and Gold, after winning 4 of their first 5, suddenlyfell into a 4-week losing streak and in 3 of these games they had halftime leads. Staunton decisioned the Mountaineers 14-7, after the victors were behind 7-0 at the half. The unbeaten District 5 champion Buena Vista had little trouble with the Green and Gold, as they topped the Mountaineers 21-7 in a sea of mud. After holding a 14-13 lead at intermission against Lexington, Clifton Forge faltared in the second half while the Scarlet Hurricanes struck for 2 touchdowns and won 26-14. In the perennial clash for the Little Brown Jug with Coving- ton, the Cougars scored 3 touchdowns in the final half, after befng down 6-0 at halftime, and won 19-6. The Jug was returned at an assembly there, after a stay of one year in the halls of C.F.H.S. The local 11 closed out the season on a winning note, however, when they blanked Valley 31-0. Burton led all C.F.H.S. scorers with 55 points for the year. He and Moss were both named to the second all -district team. This was the final year for 5 teams in District 5 as they have joined the new Valley 1-B League. Clifton Forge will remain in District 5, along with 5 other schools, until the required number of students is attained.

In the opening game of the season, the Jayvees were beaten by a strong Jeter team from Covington at Burton Field 21-0. Then Jeter again, blanked the C.F.H.S. juniors 36-0 at Memorial Park. Their first win came on the local field at the ex- pense of Valley, 7-0. Another win over the Hornet juniors, this time at Hot Springs, put the Jayvees record at 2-2. In a game with the Craigsville varsity team, the Clifton Forge Jayvees came out on the short end of a 33-7 score. But another win over Valley at Memorial Park pushed the final mark to .500 at 3-3. The games at Memorial Park were held for the bene- fit of the Quarterback Club of Clifton Forge. Coach for the team was Mr. Jack Stallard, however an illness kept him from finishing the season as mentor for the boys.

Michael, Jim Savage, Douglas Howard, George Reynolds, and Scott Hayslett, The 1959-60 basketball season proved disastrous for the C.F.H.S. Mountaineers. They won only 2 contests while dropping 16. Both wins were in the district where the Mountaineers held a 2-13 slate. The 2 wins came in succession. First C.F.H.S. whipped Wilson Memorial 40- 39, and then topped Central 54-52 after dropping the first three district games. Covington, Waynesboro, Lord Botetourt, James River and Lexington each defeated the Green and Gold twice. E. C. Glass, Buena Vista, Central, and Natural Bridge defeated the Mountaineers once. In the scoring department, Douglas Howard was tops with a 10 -point plus average. Scott Hayslett followed him at 8.5. The final few games were played with as few as six boys on the squad due to injuries, academic difficulties, and withdrawals. Tri -Captains for the ' 59 - ' 60 Mountaineers were C. A.

The local juniors came up with wins over Buena Vista, Covington, Natural Bridge, Lord Botetourt, James River and Lexington. The only team that managed to topple the baby Mountaineers was undefeated Waynes- boro. The most exciting Junior Varsity encounter was the 51-47 over-time loss to Covington at the local armory. The team was composed of mostly eighth graders and freshmen. However, the demand for basketball talent on the first squad saw some freshmen play on the senior squad. High scorer for the Jayvees was Raymond Clark, with 143 points in fourteen games, for better than a 10 point average output per game. Coach for the Jayvee team was Col, M. K. Salen. SCORES C.F.H.S.

Mountainettes compiled a 5-3 won- lost slate for the 1959-1960 season. Only 8 games were scheduled because most area high schools have abolished girls ' basketball as a high school sport and have turned to intramural activity. The Mountainettes beat Central and the C. O. Nur- ses twice. They split two games with Covington and lost two contests to Group III State Champs Monterey. After the regular season the girls played two games with the C.F.H.S. Faculty for the benefit of the March of Dimes. Both games were taken by the Faculty. In the scoring department for the girls, Mar-C Milona was tops with an 18 plus average for the first six games. A knee injury kept her from playing the remain- der of the season. Donna Walker was next with an even 11 point output per regular season game. Mrs. Patricia Coleman coached the girls until the completion of the first semester. Miss Margaret Mauk took her place as coach at the beginning of the second semester and finished out the school year. Co-Captains for the year were seniors Donna Walker and Sally Alex- ander.

This year eight enthusiastic cheerleaders were selected by the student body after first having been approved by the faculty. The cheerleaders practiced hard to improve their old cheers and to learn new ones. They led cheers at all the varsity football and basketball games to encourage better school spirit and sportsmanship, and to urge the teams to victory. The cheerleaders endeavored to build up the enthusiastic loyalty of the student body and the teams by planning pep rallies before the games. They also placed pep posters in the halls of C.F.H.S. The main activity of the cheerleaders this year was planning the Homecoming Parade. They sold megaphones in order to award prizes to the winning floats and to pay for the Homecoming Queen ' s flowers. They also decorated and made programs and place cards for the annual Quarter- back Club Banquet. Before the Clifton Forge-Covington football game, the cheerleaders, followed by the Clifton Forge High School Band and the student body, led a parade to honor The Little Brown Jug.

The Clifton Forge Mountaineers had their most suc- cessful season in many years as they compiled an 11-4 record over -all, being 7-5 in the district, good for a spot in the first division. Two wins over Covington and Valley gave the Green and gold an unscathed 4-0 slate for non- district opponents. After openingthe season with a 4-0 loss to the Central Falcons, the Mountaineers won 4 straight games, in- cluding a win over champion Buena Vista. However, less than two weeks later, the Fighting Blues ' ace, Buck Sti- nett threw a 8-0 no-hitter against the Green and Gold. In the next game with the Scarlet Hurricanes of Lexington, the Mountaineers were literally robbed, as a bad call by the base umpire cost them a 4-3 decision. C J .S. then had a 5 game winning steak. They beat Valley 11-9 for the second time on a bases loaded double by Steve King, with two men out in the last inning. Three straight district wins upped the Mounties ' record to 5-3. After a 4-0 blanking of the Cougars, they lost to Waynes- boro, then upset Central 2-1 in a real thriller. The season ended on a winning note by whipping Natural Bridge in 3-2 style. Steve King led the Mountaineers in batting with a .333 average, with George Reynolds second at .304. In pitching, Jimmy Walker was tops with a 6 -2 record, and Richard Johnson posted a 4-2.

THE SENIOR CLASS On April 27th, at 8 P.M., the director Mrs. Johnson and the prompter Pam Goode checked the scenery, made by Carolyn Bratton and Frances Thrasher, and the aunt’s dress, made by Sue E. Stone. When the curtain opened. Jack Chesney (Richard Deaton) was trying to put into words how he felt about the girl he loved, Kitty Verdun (Edna Liptrap), Charley Wykenham (Joe Copenhaver) charged in to ask Jack for help in writing his girl, Amy Spettigue (Helen G. Thomas). Hoping to propose to the girls before they go off to Scotland, Jack and Charlie plan to entertain them in the garden near their rooms at Oxford University. But what about a chaperon? A knock at the door and a messenger handed them the telegram that would save the day. Charley ' s aunt planned to arrive for a visit and this would solve the problem of the chaperon, but she would get in the way. They decided to ask Lord Fancourt Babberly (Norman Scott) to entertain the aunt while they proposed. After an unsuccessful search for Babbs, they found him in their rooms stealing champagne. A telegram informs them the aunt cannot come; so Babbs agrees to pose as a woman, and man servant Bra ssitt (Boyd Nicely) is sent for the costume. The boys propose and everything goes smoothly until the real aunt, Donna Lucia D ' Alvadorez (Linda Roberson) turns up unexpectedly with her ward Ela Delahay (Sally Alexander). Babbs recognizes her as the girl he fell in love with at Monte Carlo. In the meantime. Jack’s father. Col. Sir Frances Chesney (Tom Wood) has taken a liking to Babbs, whom he thinks is a woman. Embarrassed by this and wishing to make himself known to Ela, Babbs tries to back out of the scheme. To make matters worse, Amy’s uncle, Stephen Spettigue (Bob Davis) comes to check up on the girls and also takes a liking to Babbs. Babbs is relieved of one beau when Col. Chesney finds that the real aunt is an old flame from his army days. Mr. Spettigue announces the engagement of the girls to Jack and Charley and is about to announce his engagement to the Aunt when Babbs enters as himself again. Mr. Spettigue inquires who this is and Babbs replies that he is Charley’s Aunt. This lets the cat out of the bag . Upon finding that he was deceived, Mr. Spettigue walks out. But no one cares because every- one is happy and Babbs has resigned to Sir Frances Chesney all claims to Charley’s Aunt. Some of the cast pose for a picture after the play. Mrs. Johnson, Senior play director, gives instructions to the amateur actors at dress rehearsal. Frances Thrasher adds the finishing touches to the scenery. 62 PRESENTS THE PLAY CHARLEY’S AUNT” Really my dearl replied Charley ' s Avmt when Amy Spettigue spoke of being able to pour out her whole heart to such a dear lady. Will you be mine? were the words of Sir Frances Learning the true identity of Ela Delahay was too Chesney ' s proposal to Donna Lucia D ' Alvadorez. much for Charley ' s Aunt, so she fainted. 63 SENIOR POEM THE SEASONS OF LIFE Each of us in life ' s short span Here upon terrestial sphere, Follows, more or less, a plan Like the seasons of the year. Ere each stage has run its course For the next we must prepare, Lest we find with great remorse That too late we came to care. Like to Spring, our childhood, free From all burdens, care or strife As the budding of a tree Bursting with the joy of life. In this time of guided thought There ' s a lesson we must learn. Many things cannot be bought Those worthwhile we have to learn. Each of us this question asks; Must we leave this joyous phase. Gird ourselves for harder tasks. Bid farewell to carefree days? Even as we ask we know That if useful we ' re to be, We must never cease to grow In responsibility. Even as the seasons change Now our Summer ' s drawing near. And though feelings widely range We must not be bound by fear. Now ' s the time for action bold Time for stepping up our pace. Time to leave the family fold. In the world to make our place. Ere the Summer ' s very old Time on wings will seem to fly. Hardly need we to be told Autumn will be drawing nigh. Autumn comes when we will reap Harvest from the seeds we ' ve sown. And the memories we ' ll keep Of the happiness we ' ve known. Winter can be cold and bleak. Saddest time of all the year If perchance we fail to seek Hidden beauty which is here. When immortal soul departs For the realm of mystic rest. Let us leave with happy hearts Knowing well we ' ve done our best. By Carolyn Bratton Class Poetess Now the time has come to part We’ll miss you with all our heart. How we wish we could stay on In our dear school! We love all our friends. And we hate to leave you so; But we ' ll think of you Wherever we may go. Memories will linger on Even after we are gone. We could never quite forget Dear Clifton High. Though today we ' re leaving you And that thought makes us so blue We hope that you ' ll miss us, too After we ' re gone. Tune to ...

Ten years ago, there were only 16 million acres of woodlands on the nation’s accredited Tree Farms. Today, there are almost 50 million acres, a three-fold increase. Each Tree Farm is being operated as a private enterprise, growing trees for a regular cash income, just like any other crop. One of the big reasons why tree farming is a growing business is because the market for wood is growing. Annual consumption of wood products is rising at a steady rate and continues to rise as our economy expands. The country’s tree farmers are able to supply these growing needs because they are employing scientific forestry methods in cutting, harvesting, seeding and through the protection of their timber from fire and disease. This is good news not only for tree farmers and wood-using industries, but also for the nation.
