Wolfenbarger Mr. Wolfenbarger Is Dedicatee Through the past several years, there has been a person who has been devoted and conscientious in his service to Clifton Forge High School. Many students have been influenced by his instruction and his gui- dance. As a student he attended Rye Cove Memorial High School and received his B.A. degree from Emory and Henry College in 1952. He served four years in the United States Navy before returning to Rye Cove as a mathematics teacher. He then did graduate work at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Virginia. From the latter he was granted a Master of Math Education Degree in 1959. Shortly thereafter he joined the faculty at Clifton Forge High School as a math instructor. One year later he was named assistant principal, while con- tinuing to teach some classes of math. For the past three years he has served the students and faculty as principal. Arriving early and remaining late, he is always available when school activities are in progress. He is loyal to his faculty, the school curriculum, and the Mountaineers in all of their events. He has worked most cooperatively with the annual staff this year by allowing more pages in the yearbook, by approving more money-making projects, and by willingly ad- vising the staff. It is with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for his many contributions as a friend and educator that we dedicate this 1971 edition of the Alleghanian to Mr. Sam B. Wolfenbarger. 2 Above: Darlene Humphries, Senior Class President, presents a gift to Mr. Wolfenbarger. Above right: Mr. Wolfenbarger shows school spirit at a pep rally.

For the seniors it has been a year of eager waiting for the long sought goal of graduation . . . for the juniors a year of looking forward to the day they will become seniors . . . for the underclassmen a year of hard work in preparation for the high school years lying ahead. 1970-71 has been a wonderful year... a progressive year... a year of working together and being together ... a year for much happiness along with some disappoint- ments ... a year with some surprises in sports ... a year for some new classes and activities ... a year with some new privileges ... a year for some reforms and changes. It has been a year of awakening to new experiences and realities ... a year for setting more far-reaching and challenging goals ... a year for looking to the future ... a year for realizing that — WE ' VE ONLY JUST BEGUN We ' ve only just begun to live, White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we ' re on our way.

Presents Musieal — Our First Through the suggestion of several students and with the approval of Mrs. Gantt, Mr. Bilger, and Miss Anderson, interested and talented members of the student body prepared and presented our school ' s first musical on Saturday, May 1. A series of murals, painted by the art classes, were used as the back- ground for the various numbers selected from Broad- way hits and popular and secular songs. Two dance routines added variety to the program as did the prologue presented by the Concert Band. For those participating and those in the audience, Encore: A Broadway Revue will long be remembered.

Darnell; Superintendent of Schools; University of West Virginia, B.S.; University of Virginia, M.Ed. Sam B. Wolfenbarger; Principal; Emory and Henry College, B.A.; University of Virginia, Master of Math Education. Clifton Forge High School students consider them- selves very lucky to have a man like Mr. Charles Darnell as superintendent of schools. During the past three years he has performed his duties well, and students and parents alike have always found him fair, honest, and willing to cooperate to improve education in the city schools. Being principal is a very difficult position for anyone to hold. When the term principal is men- tioned, the immediate picture that comes to mind is one in which the person is strong in his beliefs and yet willing to listen to the suggestions of others. This year several reforms have taken place in our school due to the combined cooperation of Mr. Wolfen- barger and the students. Mr. Wolfenbarger stresses the importance of gaining a sound education through scholastic work and through extra-curricular activ- ities. He shows interest in all aspects of school life. Mr. Darnell and Mr. Wolfenbarger in conjunction with the school board, faculty, and students are working to make C.F.H.S. a better school. 17 Mr. Strong, Mr. Pederson Help Make Decisions Seated: Mr. Pederson.

Pederson Lynchburg College, B.A.; Guidance Director, S.C.A. Sponsor the competent direction of an assistant principal, guidance director, and faculty. As assistant principal, Mr. Strong ' s main duties are concerned with attendance, discipline, and school ’ athletics. He teaches Algebra I and trig and is always available to lend a helping hand when anyone needs him. Mr. Pederson, new on the staff this year, has done a fine job of aiding the students in making decisions and helping them adjust to high school life. He pro- vides information about colleges and guides them in making choices about their future career. Girls from the business department work in the guidance office one period a day answering the phone, writing letters. Edward D.

Standing: Karen Van Lear, Becky Miller, Bonnie Hickman, Donna Mays, Paula Craft, Pam Black, Helen Claire Carter. Behind every good teacher or administrator is a successful secretary or teachers ' aide. This is certainly true at C.F.H.S. Mrs. Sheets and Mrs. Dunlap aided the teachers immensely this year by doing a great deal of their paper work for them and substituting for classes whenever the need arose. Mrs. Vira Noel, who keeps the office running so efficiently, had to be temporarily replaced by Mrs. Dunlap because of illness. The secretaries are helped by commercial students, who provide valuable assis- tance to the office staff. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Slusser, who perhaps have the hardest job of all, kept the study halls running smoothly and quietly. Mrs. Brown supervises study hall. 19 Languages Broaden Young Minds Mrs. Patricia M. Gantt Mars Hill College, A.

The Language Department includes English, Spanish, and aspects of speech, drama and journalism. The teachers aid the students in constructing varied and effective sentences and in appreciating the works of famous authors. The study of Spanish enables students to meet language requirements for college at the same time broadening their cultural education. The new course, journalism and drama, has en- couraged students to express themselves creatively and to gain confidence in public speaking. Mrs. Agnes P.

The basic fundamentals of math provide a means for the student to acquire practical skills and knowledge needed at the present time; the more advanced courses help prepare the student to meet college entrance requirements and enable him to un- derstand more technical problems. Each teacher in the department is very competent and has sufficient background to meet the needs of his students. This year, for the first time, the Math Department, in cooperation with the Math Club, sponsored a schoolwide Math Fair which is hoped to become an annual event. Participation in the fair allowed stu- dents the opportunity to reach immediate goals for self-satisfaction and to enjoy the competition with their classmates. Reasoning Mrs. Brenda R.

With the addition of more and better equipment, the students can gain practical experience in the laboratory. Each year the Science Department sponsors the Science Fair, which this year included the Math Fair. This fine department is under the direction of Mr. Ambler Sutherland, who teaches Chemistry. Other members of the department are Miss Lauren Anderson, who teaches Biology and Science 8; Mr. Colby Trammell, who teaches Science 8; and Mr. Steve Moore, who teaches Science 9. Because of the effort and instruction of our dedicated science teachers, C.F.H.S. students grad- uate with sufficient knowledge to cope with the problems of the scientific age in which they will be living. Mr. Trammell lectures to his eighth grade class about nuclear chem- istry. Lauren A. Anderson Madison College, B.S., Science 8, Biology, Eighth grade Sponsor Steven W.

History, geography, and government are the main aspects of the social studies department. Under the direction of Mrs. Lillian VanLear, Mr. Jack Rich- mond, Miss Gay McGuire, and Mr. Edward VanLear, students learn of the past, the present, and what to expect in the future. Miss McGuire joined the staff at mid-term to replace Mr. Richmond, who was drafted into the Army. Mock school elections, sponsored by the social studies department, are always interesting and some- times bring unusual results. The eighth grade students also worked up very informative projects on the his- tory of Clifton Forge. Mr. and Mrs. VanLear share materials they can use in their history classes. Edward T.

Ed., Physical Education, Head Football Coach, Wrestling Coach, Track Coach The health and physical fitness of the students of Clifton Forge High School is directed by a fine staff in the physical education department. Two new in- structors, Miss Barbara Strong and Bill Lewter, bright additions to the department, joined Miss Watts and Coach Scott this year. There is usually much excitement and pleasure experienced from participation in a variety of active sports by the eighth and ninth graders. The study of health helps build strong minds and bodies. In ad- dition to other activities, classroom driver education and Red Cross First Aid are required on the tenth grade level. The total course of study for the physical edu- cation program prepares students both mentally and physically for a richer life. Pam Abbott has a driving lesson from Mr. Lewter.

Adm., Appalachian State University, M.A. in Economics, General Busi- ness, Business and Con- sumer Math, Economics, Typing I The world of business is rapidly expanding. A large variety of commercial courses are offered at Clifton Forge High School to students interested in becoming successful business men and women. Perfection is stressed in such fields as typing, shorthand, book- keeping, and office practice. The teachers of this department—Mrs. Clift, Miss Mansfield, and Mr. Tan— are the finest. With per- sonnel such as these teaching and developing the skills of the business leaders of tomorrow, our community, and, indeed, our nation, has promise for a most prosperous future. Miss Mansfield and Mr. Tan watch as Debbie Broughman tries out a new machine. Mrs. Clift shows her class the keyboard of a typewriter. 25 Vocational Training — Vast Help in Future Mrs. Gretel J. Anderson Virginia State College, Hampton Institute, B.S., New York University, M.A., Home Economics, F.H.A. Sponsor, Freshman Class Sponsor Mrs. Gretel Anderson instructed the home-economics classes in which the girls learned the fundament als of cooking, sewing, and managing a home. In addition, they have become aware of the new concept incorporating consumer education with homemaking. This course, a very practical one, provides instruc- tion that the girls, as future homemakers, cannot get along without. Mrs. Anderson instructs Leigh Ann Tucker in the operation of a sewing machine. Joseph E. Conley West Virginia Tech, B.S., Industrial Arts 1, 2, Mechanical Drawing 1, 2 Under the direction of Mr. Conley, excellent classes in Industrial Arts and Mechanical Drawing were offered to C.F.H.S. boys interested in a vocational field. The boys gained experience in drawing house plans and working with raw materials. These courses give students a chance to exercise their practical and mechanical abilities useful in the home and on the job. Students observe as Mr. Conley gives a demon- stration. 26 Arts Offer Means of Self Expression Mr. Duff, a typical master artist, makes plans for his students ' work. For those students who have a need to express a talent, there are two roads to take. If one is interested in playing an instrument, he may be a member of the band. The other road leads to the art classes, where one may experience many moments of self-satis- faction with paint and brush. Under the direction of Mr. Bilger, the band had a very successful and eventful year. The calendar in- cluded such activities as football half-time shows, parades, a Christmas concert, All-Area concert, a Spring concert, the Dogwood Festival, and, of course. the Apple Blossom Festival. Their many perfor- mances demonstrate the abilities and talents of both the students and the instructor. Many promising new artists were discovered this year as the art classes, under the instruction of Mr. Duff, turned out many fine projects. Using a great variety of skills, the students worked with many different materials to express themselves creatively through their art work. By creating scenery and decorations for school functions, these students prove to be a valuable asset to C.F.FI.S. 27 Library Provides Resources for Mental Growth Cyn Brown, Maitland McCoy, Toni Wallace, Lynn Smith, Wanda Hughes, Lana Stinespring, Iris Martin, Debbie Rapp, Vicki Tuke, Mitzi Agee. Along with their everyday activities of helping Mrs. Morris in the library by cataloging books and maintaining a quiet atmosphere, the Library Club had various other activities. They sponsored a float in the Homecoming parade on October 30. They also observed National Library Week, April 18-24, by putting up posters and decorating halls. Mrs. Lois B.

Varsity Gridders Work Together Bitter defeat and ecstatic victory were again part of the C.F.H.S. football scene, but the hustle and desire expressed by the team members themselves were what led the Mountaineers to their season record of 6 wins and 4 losses. With a district record of 3-3 the Mounties finished fourth in Blue Ridge District Standings. David Hickenbotham set a new school record by scoring 122 points this season bringing his career total to 304 points, another school record. He also was named to the All-American Football Team. He and Steve Carter, Dale Crutchfield, Walter Worth, Danny Megginson, and C. W. Linkswiler were named to the All-District team. The eleven seniors on the team provided the good leadership necessary for any successful football team. David Hicken- botham, Steve Carter, and Dale Crutchfield served as team captains. Head Coach Ed Scott and Backfield Coach Colby Trammell provided superior leadership and training for a superior team. 62 Mountie co-captains David Hickenbotham and Steve Carter confer before a game with referee and Alleghany co-captains. 1970 Varsity Football Statistics C.F. 22 Liberty 18 C.F. 20 Addison 18 C.F. 6 William Byrd 28 C.F. 6 Alleghany 19 C.F. 28 Pocahontas 14 C.F. 26 James River 27 C.F. 14 Glenvar 13 C.F. 24 Buena Vista 12 C.F. 12 Lord Botetourt 0 C.F. 27 Covington 36 Another Mountaineer victory!

Victory and defeat were felt by the members of this year ' s Clifton Forge High School Junior Varsity football team. Always playing against teams of great- er size and experience, the Junior Mounties ' spirits were never dampened. Although the scoring did not indicate it, the team played good, hard football and gained valuable expe- rience for next year. The best game and only win tallied by the J.V. ' s was against the James River A Mountie player is downed by overwhelming odds. Knights. A touchdown scored in the two final, spine- tingling minutes of the contest accounted for the win. Three players, Gary Scruggs, Chappy Morris, and Samuel Thompson showed great ability with the pig- skin and good varsity prospects. What is in store for next year? The coaches, Stephen Moore and Jack Richmond, expect a bigger and better team and a bright future for J.V. football in Clifton Forge. 1970 J. V.

Sadness prevailed throughout the halls of C.F.H.S. as the plans of the annually scheduled Homecoming game washed away with the torrents of rain outside. The parade and game previously scheduled for Friday, October 30, had to be postponed until Monday, November 2 . A somewhat brighter aspect of the day was the Homecoming Dance which was sponsored by the Sophomore Class. Entering the Clifton Forge Armory, couples were engrossed in the mood of mystique and bewitchment as portrayed by the theme Mountie Magic. Beneath a sky of silver stars and around a bubbling caldron, couples danced to the music provided by the Stonehenge of Covington. The long awaited parade, game, and crowning of the Queen and recognition of her Court came at last. The festivities ended on a high key with a 12-0 victory over Lord Botetourt.

The season was very disappointing from the standpoint of injuries. By mid-term the Mounties had lost five key players, but they were not discouraged, A lot of determination and effort pushed them through many close, but unsuccessful games. The Mounties ' best game effort was a loss to the powerful Glenvar team on our home floor, and Mountie fans were thrilled with the team efforts which led to two seasonal victories and a district win over their arch-rivals, the Alleghany Colts, Several team members established outstanding individual records, Walter Worth and Gilbert Davis were high scorers for the season with 241 points apiece, Walter Worth was also the rebounding champ for the season, Joey Johnson had the highest game scoring record averaging 12,1 points per game. The season ' s close saw injuries heal and a strong finish in regular season and tournament play. Winning second place in the District tournament earned the Mounties a berth in the Region III tournament where they lost in the first round to Chatham High School, C,F,H,S, can be proud of a team which expresses so much determination, and we can look forward to an even better team next year. 1970-71 Varsity Basketball Statistics C,F, 53 Natural Bridge 74 C,F, 64 Lord Botetourt 71 C,F, 73 James River 76 C,F, 46 Glenvar 99 C,F, 54 Addison 73 C,F, 63 William Byrd 83 C,F, 68 Alleghany 59 C,F, 48 Roanoke Catholic 49 C,F, 67 Covington 54 C,F, 56 Addison 75 C,F, 58 Lord Botetourt 80 C,F, 65 Glenvar 73 C,F, 68 James River 73 C,F, 63 William Byrd 78 C,F, 87 Alleghany 66 C,F, 46 Covington 51 C,F, 75 Roanoke Catholic 72 C,F, 61 Natural Bridge District Tournament 66 C,F, 70 Lord Botetourt 68 C,F, 56 Alleghany 49 C,F, 43 Addison Region Hi Tournament 73 C,F, 73 Chatham 99 68 Hurry, Chip!

The team had an overall record of 13-5 before losing to Addison in the J.V. tournament for the district championship. C. W. Linkswiler, the most experienced J.V. hoop man, led the Mounties with a 14.6 scoring average. He was followed by Walker and Allen. Chappy Morris and Leonard Wallace both saw a lot of action for the Mounties and are eligible to play J.V. ' s next year, for they are only freshmen. Greg Megginson, Rodney Unroe, Eddie Pullen, Wayne Hailes, Fred Clark, and Tussy Humphreys are also eligible next year. Unfortunately, the team was plagued by some bad luck. Three players, two of them starters, lost their eligibility at mid-semester. Another player. Chappy Morris, a starter all season, was injured in the last game with Glenvar and was not able to finish the season. Despite these handicaps, the team finished their winning season on a bright note and are looking forward to another good season next year. J. V.

The starting games were slow, losing their first two games to Natural Bridge and Covington. Then they started to play and win, bowing only once more to Bath County. Coach Jack Richmond was proud of his team ' s showing throughout the season. Captain Greg Via and leading scorer Tussy Humphries led the pace as the other members followed suit.

Miss Bar- bara Strong provided excellent coaching, and her varsity team put forth a great deal of hard work as they strove to succeed as a team. The girls won only two games this season, but they played hard and learned from their mis- takes. After suffering bitter defeat at the hands of James River in a 41-14 loss, they came back to defeat Alleghany 38-27 in their last and best game of the season.

The final record was 2 wins and 9 losses. The Mountie grapplers placed fifth in the district tournament and out of 13 teams, they placed fourth in the regional tournament. Several wrestlers won individual honors in post season tournaments. Larry White placed second in the district, first in the region, and fourth in the state. Steve Albright finished first in both the district and regional tournaments. Thomas Paxton finished second in both the district and region. Wayne Wallace and Kevin Davis finished fourth in both the district and regional tournaments. 1971 Wrestling Statistics C.F. 21 Covington 31 C.F. 35 Addison 22 C.F. 14 Alleghany 32 C.F. 13 William Byrd 30 C.F. 23 Alleghany 31 C.F. 31 Addison 18 C.F. 14 William Byrd 32 C.F. 13 V.S.D.B. 35 C.F. 6 Glenvar 38 C.F. 22 Covington 30 75 Track Team Small But Mighty Kneeling: Ricky Hailes, Coe Pullen, Bobby Simpson, Bobby McGuire, Tony Kelly, Dennis Duff, Greg Via, Dickie Paxton.

Rebuilding is a long, hard process as the track team at Clifton Forge High School knows. After not having a team for two years, a group re-organized under the direction of Coach Ed Scott. The varsity as well as junior varsity team competed in three-way meets in competition against larger schools such as Glenvar, William Byrd, Addison, Lord Botetourt, and rivals Covington and Alleghany. Dickie Paxton leads his opponent in a running event. Sammy Thompson takes the lead in the high hurdles. While track is a team sport, its success is due largely to the individual abilities of its members. High scorer for the varsity team, Dickie Paxton, led the team with eighteen points. Exceptional talent was found on the junior varsity squad in Dennis Duff running track, Tony Kelly putting the shot, and Wane Hailes with the discus. Though this year ' s squad was small, they worked hard and can be proud of their performances. 76 Girls’ Track Team Flourishes First row: Miss Strong, Iris Hyler, Becky Linkswiler, Mauri King, KrisBackels, Natalie Callender, Maitland McCoy, Nancy Rankin. Second row: Rachel Drumheller, Lynn Smith, Vicki Tuke, Kim Mays, Robin Downey, Teri Woodyard, Benay Hatcher, Linda Powell. Third row: Carol Van Lear, Ellen Tucker, Oretha Brown, Robin King, Brenda Deaton, Teresa Knick. The girls ' team can do other things besides run track. Even though the girls ' track team at Clifton Forge High School is small, they put forth a lot of team effort and hard work in displaying their skills. The girls attended only three meets, but several of them placed each time. Six girls qualified for the State meet. They did not place, but they made a fine showing for their school. The coach, Barbara Strong, anticipates larger and stronger teams in years to come. 77 Team Effort Aids Baseball Season First row: Coach Watson, Dick Woods, Dusty Walker, David Shores, Mike Wilcher, Kippy Carter, Jimmy Saunders, C.

Third row: Gary Stuple, Mac Beard, Monte Scruggs, Chip Woodyard, Greg Haynes, John Perdue, Gary Hutchison, David Ralston. In summarizing the Mountie baseball season, the team was perhaps lacking in talent and depth, but had a wealth of desire. After adjusting to the new, but excellent coaching of Mr. Watson, the team had a fairly successful season posting a record of 5 wins and 11 losses. There was good team leadership in the form of Dale Crutchfield and David Bradley. Both Jimmy Saunders and Chip Woodyard made the All-Area team, and Chip Woodyard made the All-District team. Dale Crutchfield also had a good season behind the plate allowing only 5 stolen bases in 16 games. Greg Haynes accounted for 5 of the Clifton wins. A final acknowledgment must be payed to players, who certainly deserved letters but did not have enough innings, for their vast contribution off the field as well as their limited contribution on the field. Good team effort paid off for the Mounties.

Cheerleaders A chieve The day starts early at Camp Farrar in Virginia Beach where our Varsity Cheerleaders again attended camp this summer. New cheers were learned and others shared as the week progressed. All the hard work was not in vain, as this year ' s squad placed second in final competition and brought home several superior and excellent ratings. Back in Clifton Forge more surprises were yet to come! As the football season began, it brought with it new uniforms for the cheerleaders and proud looks Cheerleaders display Mountaineer spirit prior to the Clifton-Alleghany Football game. Left to right: Romania Wallace, Kim Mays, Becky Linkswiler, Sara Burger, Cindy Anderson, Teri Woodyard, Mauri King, Kris Backels, Kimberley Hamilton. Superior Rating beamed everywhere. The Junior Varsity squad appeared at every J.V. game to encourage their team members and add color to the games. They participated in pep rallies and shared the duties of cheering for the wrestling matches with the varsity girls. Everyone was kept in high spirits during the sports seasons with pep rallies and posters. Special tourna- ment preparations ended a very busy year. Left: Teri Woodyard, Head.

Under the staunch leadership of its president, Doug Finestone, along with the helpful assistance and cooperation of the sponsor, Mr. James Pederson, our Student Council has this year helped to bring the students and administration into better communication. The S.C.A. had helped to bring about several changes in the cheerleading selection and the dress code policy of our school. In its aim toward better understanding, it has partaken in discussions and seminars relating to the drug, environment, and racial problems. Representatives have actively participated in District and State conventions at Alleghany County, Roanoke, and Richmond. Again this year, the S.C.A. sponsored the annual Homecoming parade and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The S.C.A. was also the initiator in sponsoring couples from C.F.H.S. on Saturday Session. For its fund-raising project, C.F.H.S. T-shirts, jackets and sweatshirts were sold. Students were given the opportunity to voice their opinions in school activities through the use of the student bulletin board provided by the S.C.A. Always concerned with the improvement of our school, the S.C.A. can truly be called an active organization.

The boys have been active in other school and community projects, too. To show their interest in ecology and desire to live in a safer environment, the boys spent several Saturdays cleaning up var- ious areas of the city.

Spring was certainly in the air when the F.H.A. presented their Fashion Show on May 3 in the C.F.H.S. auditorium. They also took part in the many activities at the spring rally held on April 19. 91 A Band for A ll Seasons The Clifton Forge High School Concert Band The school and community activities of the Clifton Forge High School band are as regular as the seasons. Their busy pace began in the fall with the performance of halftime routines at the football games. Winter brought the band ' s annual Christmas concert and later found Terry Bruffey, Sally Finestone, and Carol VanLear as auditioned representatives in the District VI Regional Band. Old Man Winter also saw musical history being made in our area. Director Larry R. Bilger organized an All-Area Band that involved the top bandsmen from the high schools of Alleghany, Covington, and Clifton Forge. The selected students presented a concert on February 14 under the direction of Mr. Paul B. Noble, Jr. from the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music, Winchester. Besides an annual Spring Concert and a trip to Winchester for the Apple Blossom Festival, this season revealed another first for the C.F.H.S. band and its director.

Then, whenever a forest fire is started, on private or government land, they answer the call and work day or night to save the land. This year the boys fought fires in both Alleghany and Botetourt counties.

Through writing and photography, our Alleghanian staff strives to recapture all the happy moments experienced here at C.F.H.S. Under the guidance of our editor, Carolyn Hall, the Alleghanian staff has held several workshops in preparation of our yearbook. In relation to the financing of our annual, the Alleghanian staff was in charge of the concession stands for one football game and during basketball season. Only through the combined efforts of the sponsor, editor, assistant editor, and the copy, business, and photography staffs can the Alleghanian staff hope to edit an annual of which the students at C.F.H.S. may be proud.

Science Fair Integral Part of School Program To arouse curiosity in scientific experimentation and to give an opportunity for students to share their interests, the science department annually sponsors a Science Fair. Mr. Sutherland, the head teacher- sponsor, works diligently with the staff, students, judges, and community in making arrangements for the fair. This year a Math division was added under the direction of Mrs. Esther Lee and the other math instructors. This allowed more students to participate and gave a greater variety of exhibits. Following the evaluation by qualified judges from the Clifton Forge-Covington area, the winners were announced. The fair was open to the public on both Friday evening and Saturday morning. The first place winners ' projects were entered in the Regional Fair at Roanoke College in April. Above: Plant experiments are very popular in the biological division.

Expertly painted murals of trees, flowers, and elves created a truly beautiful background. Carrying out the theme of a whispering. calm summer night was the combination of a love seat, wishing well, and rolling brook. Providing the musical atmosphere for this beautiful summer night was The Galaxies of Lynchburg. Further enhance- ment of the evening was the appearance of the serving girls frolicing around the punch bowl in their mystical fairy attires. The Juniors ' long hours of laboring were well rewarded. Couples walk into a dream come true. These juniors illustrate the hard work that goes into getting the scenery ready. 106 The Serving Girls Left to right: Tuck Crabill, Joan Chaplin, Donna Conner, Oretha Brown, Dianne Back, Janice Stinnett, Sue Roalf, Pat Dowdy.

Entertainment was presented by the Senior chorus, a musical group composed of class members. There was also informal singing in which everyone participated. Miss Gay McGuire and Carolyn Hall were the accompanists. Most all of the seniors and faculty members en- joyed the festivities.

The evening concluded with much fun and gaiety being shared by all. Pam Black, Patricia Eubanks, and Jane Morgan wait to be served. 110 New Market Site of Senior Trip On May 27, 1971, the Seniors of Clifton Forge High School boarded the buses bound for New Market, Virginia. Amid much noise and singing, the Seniors finally reached their destination. First on the agenda was a very informative talk and tour of New Market, the battlefield of a War Between the States victory for the South. The actual site of the battle and antique relics were viewed after two historic films of the War Era. Journeying on to the second event of the day, starving Seniors made their way to the Endless Cav- erns and southern fried chicken. After lunch the Seniors split up into two groups and proceeded on the two mile journey through the caverns, viewing the beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. At the end of a fun-filled day, a group of tired Seniors mounted the steps of the buses on their way home. But there was still some spark of life in the eyes of some Senior girls as they viewed their hand- some bus driver. A truly educational, but fun-filled day was enjoyed by all.

To produce a yearbook would be impossible without your support. As this yearbook closes, so does this school year— a year of many memories. In the many classes, sports events, and activities, we have found the happiness, joys, heartaches, and disappointments that were a part of the story of 1971 at Clifton Forge High. Now it is time for graduation — the seniors say their good-bys to this phase of their life only to move on to more challenging goals, the juniors move up to the place of highest distinction, and the underclassmen move upward on the ladder of school life. With those who leave the halls of C.F.H.S. go all of our good wishes; with those who are staying remain memories of many happy moments. And so it ends . . . this wonderful year of memories ... a year that has prepared us to make wiser choices ... a year that has helped us face new horizons with confidence ... a year that has caused us to realize that so much of life is still ahead, that we must find our place in the world, and that we must develop our entire selves to the fullest extent.
