Time flies but yet goes as slow as the sand trickels languidly to the bottom of an hour glass . High School years are the most important of our life. They mold our life. Let ' s not waste our time. During high school you develop your person- ality and your character. When you leave high school this is the person you will live with for the rest of your life. Turn back and look at your school. What will become of your life as time goes by is a result of your high school years .

In 1885, Rachmoninoff went to Moscow and continued his piano studies with Zverev, then with Alexander Siloti, his cousin. Tchaikovsky, impressed with the young man s talent, gave him advice. The famous minor Prelude, Op. 3, No. 2, written by Rachmaninoff when he was but 19, became one of the most performed and beloved works in music literature.

He then became a pupil of Louis Pabst in Melbourne. Grieg chose Grainger to perform his piano concerto. It may be attributed to Grieg ' s exomple of intense concen- tration upon national music, thot Grainger porticipoted in the movement for recovering English folk songs. His works for strings or orehestro, such as Mock Morris and English Dance display a rhythmic vitality and whimsicol interplay of parts which they hove in common with the ever-populor folk songs.

He studied piano with Ricardo Vines ond com- position with Charles Koechlin. Poulenc, who was a member of Les Six, carefully avoided romantic sentiment. The group of six composers avoided the extremes of the impressionists. Poulenc ' s earlier works have a definite youthful charm that results from the frank, bold treatment of musical problems. Later works reveal delicacy, tender irony ond remorkable melodic gifts. His great sense of humor is very apparent in the opera Les Mamelles de Tiresias. 1964 AUGUST 1964 SUN. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2.-I ao 25 26 27 28 29 The Presser Calendar of Twentieth Century Composers FRITZ KREISLER 1 875 - 1 962 Early in life Kreisler ' s musicality became apparent.

Although he dis- played an early inclination towards music, his parents wished him to follow a business coreer. When he was twenty he was put in chorge of on orange grove in Florida. While in America he devoted far more time to o serious study of music then to business. Delius returned to Europe to continue music studies at the Leipzig Con- servatory. His “Over the Hills end For Away“ o fon- tasia-overture was no doubt inspired by the scenery of his native Yorkshire. Koanga reflects the tropic luxuriance of Florida. Sir Thomos Beecham wos an enthusiastic champion of the remarkable Delius. I � 6 t I � ft I The Presser Calendar of Twentieth Century Composers MAURICE RAVEL 1 875 - 1 937 In 1889, Ravel entered the Paris Conservatory. He studied harmony with Pessord, counterpoint with Gedolge, and composition with Foure. Le Tombeou de Couperin reveals his unerring sense of form. His style is chorocteri zed by clear contours and exquisite detail. Although La Valse and Bolero have ochieved wide popularity they do not indicate the great range of Ravel ' s ort as does L ' Heure Espognole. He is acknowledged everywhere as one of Fronce’s most representotive composers. 1964 NOVEMBER 1964 sir It. aoft. TV . JBV. nu.

For this year, the Mountaineers captured their 1st football cham- pionship in 8 years. They settled for nothing less than to march off the gridiron with all 4 district games plus 4 nonconference contests. The only defeats came at the hands of Buena Vista and the Covington power house. An 8-2 record was simply the result of a strongly balanced team effort. Many thought this to be the year arch rival Central would take C.F.H.S. But, with other things in mind, the Mounties sent Central home with a 27-0 loss on their hands. Just getting started, C.F.H.S. next rolled over Roanoke Catholic 28-12. Then came Lexington whom the Mountaineers hadn ' t beaten since 1954. This fact was no hinderence as they displayed their greatest offen- sive show of the year in rolling 504 yards to a 42-12 win. Still winning, the Mountaineers stopped Rockbridge 27-6, a strong Botetourt team 40-12, and Natural Bridge 35-13.

Rockbridge gave the little Mounties a scare before falling 33 to 31 and James River fell one point sh ort in a 29 to 28 result. Not only do the J. V. ' s continue to have winning seasons, but they also continue to promise a bright future for the varsity Green and Gold.

TITLE A GAIN Up -Up goes Letcher Humphries for two points against James River. For the second time in a row, the Mountaineers got a second place in the District V Basketball tournament. This year the Mounties of C.F.H.S. ended up in first place for the regular season with an 11-1 record. The over all record before the tournament was 15-3. With high hopes of a championship, the Mountaineers went into the tournament slightly favored. By way of a bye, the Mountaineers weren ' t required to play until the second night . With high spirits, C.F.H.S. met the potent James River High and turned them away for the third time of the - basketball season. The result was a victory.

As public opinion wouldtell it, the Green and Gold would have no trouble in taking second place Riverheads off the court . But when championship night arrived, a different story was told. Nothing seemed to go right for C.F.H.S. The Riverheads threw up a full court press early in the game. This was only second nature to the Mounties but time and again the ball was stolen or thrown away . Leading the entire game by at least one point, the Mountaineers saw their first real hopes of a basketball championship go down the drain in the last three or four minutes of the last quarter . Riverheads took advantage of a mental block, pulled ahead points and sent the broken hearted Mountaineers to the showers . Representing Clifton Forge on the all -tournament team were Danny Watts and Letcher Humphries . More honor goes to Humphries for scoring his 1000th point in the James River game . Maben Koethcke was elected to the 2nd team . With two starters and four firstline substitutes returning next year, the Mountaineers and Coach Paul Manning are looking forward to another fine season.

The victories came over district opponents Central, Covington, and the C O Nurses and non -district opponents Monterey, Lexington, Valley, and Rockbridge. In gaining their 16-0 record, the Mountainettes defeated the Central girls for the district championship. The Mountainettes averaged 49 points a game with forwards Betty King, Judy Sinar, Diane Linkswiler, and Sally Entsminger providing the scoring punch. Miss Entsminger led the team in the scoring department with a 24.4 average per game and also set a new school scoring record of 47 points in one game. Guards Ann Wallace, Jane Farrar, and Alexis Chapman, held the opposition to an average of 28.5 points a game. Although they didn ' t see a lot of action, praise should be given the substitutes for working hard throughout the season.

SECOND ROW: David Taliaferro, Eddie Fisher, Mike Bursey, Chip Snead, Walter Vermilya, Don Walker, and Melvin Adams. THIRD ROW: Ned Snead, Cal Griggs, Bill Caton, Tan Shires, Rich Fuhrman, Mike Engle, Bobby Topping, and Ray Doyle. For the 1st time since their reorgani- zation in 1962 the C.F.H.S. trackmen came out on top of a track meet . This feat was the result of a 64-54 win over James River. While the Mountaineers were not so victorious in the remaining meets, their performances were proof of the hard work that has led to such great improvement in only two years of reor- ganization. Examples of their improve- ment were shown when a first place, three seconds and one third place were gained in the District V track meet . Letcher Humphries gained a first in the high jump, a second in the discus and a third in the shot. Richard Fuhrman fin- ished second in the mile run and the C.F.H.S. relay team drew a second place in the mile relay. C.F.H.S. came in fourth out of seven teams represented at the district meet .

SECOND ROW: David Pollock (Mgr.), Maben Koethcke, Tan Shi Smith, David Hickman, and Coach Totten. A so-so season probably overemphasizes the success of the Mounties this year. Their record was only 5 wins and 11 loses. However in view of many, the season was a success for the simple reason that Central was upset by a score of 9 to 4 . The Mountaineers demonstrated the brand of ball they were capable of playing in this game and also when they handed Rockbridge an 1 -3 defeat be- hind Danny Watts’ one hitter. Pitching depth seemed to be the main problem throughout the season. Steve Craft banged out 26 hits, more than any player has gotten in one season in many years . Despite the pitching problem, C.F.H.S. plans to make a better name for itself on the diamond next year . LEFT: Maydian lays down a bunt against James River.

The Queen was Dianne Shipp, and her court consisted of Jackie Salyards, Brenda Humphires, Shirley Salyards, and Susan Shipp. These girls represented our student body well . Aside from the court, there was a parade and a dance . The winning float came from the junior class and was en- titled Mountaineer Mash. The dance also was an enjoyable event. This year, the theme was Mountaineers at Home. The sophomore class did a fine job of decorating and handling this dance . The sophomores are busy fixing the armory for the Homecoming Dance. Besides these, there was, of course, the football game! The mountaineers were victorious again! This put the finishing touches on a most enjoyable Homecoming at C . F . H . S .

The ex- citement really got underway when Patty ' s diary got mixed up with her book . When her diary was published in the local newspaper instead of her book, the whole town was out for the unknown author’s hide. It was not until the end of the play that Patty confessed that she was the unknown author, Ermintrude de Lacey. Last minute preparations for the big night. Lana Jean Simpson, Billie Mullins, Margaret Alfonso, and Jane Gilbert put the finishing touches on Pete Smith, Ruthie Peck, Betty Jo Rhodes and Ginger Evans.

Music was provided by the Telestars. Junior class president Cal Griggs and his date Dianne Shipp enter Prom through the rose trellis. MOONLIGHT Every year Prom is one of the big events of spring and this year was certainly no exception. For the theme, Moonlight and Roses, the Juniors transformed the stage into a beautiful rose garden. As the couples entered the garden through a rose trellis, the eight serving girls gave them Prom booklets and party hats . The backdrop was a stone wall covered with climbing rose vines and was set off with a mountain lake scene on either side. The couples danced to the swinging music of the Telestars from Charlottesville until 10:30 when refreshments were served in the cafeteria by the serving girls . After refreshments, the couples returned to the rose garden and were entertained by the music of Mr. Waugh and Mr. Sutherland, two faculty members . When intermission was over, the Telestars again provided the music and the couples danced until the stroke of twelve . Prom agained lived up to its reputation and everyone had a lovely evening . 76 Juniors and Seniors dance by the light of the moon with a mountain lake for the background. 77 Catherine Grimes and Maben Koethcke roll out the gifts for class mates.

That cash crop is TREES. All over the nation, from Maine to Texas and from Florida to Oregon, the sign of the accredited Tree Farm is becoming a familiar symbol. More than 50 million acres are now being cultivated under the Tree Farm system, whereby cutting, seeding, harvesting, fire and disease control are carried out ac- cording to tested, scientific forestry methods. Tree Farm- ers. oneratinff as urivate. tax-oaving individuals, are helping to assure the increasing raw material needs of the nation’s wood-using industries. These industries, in turn, provide our Tree Farmers with ready markets for America’s fastest growing cash crop— TREES. West Virginia Pulp and Paper CLIFTON FORGE HARDWARE INC.
