In December 1953, the idea of having a branch ofthe University of Virginia was versed by Mrs. W. A. Thompson and Mrs. Lois B. Tracy to Mr. Sam Crockett who was then teaching extension classes in Wise. Following the sug- gestion a committee of men composed of Mr. W. A. Thompson, Mr. Fred Greear, Mr. K. P. Asbury, and Mr. M. M. Long met with Mr. Crockett to investigate the possibility of such an establishment. Obtaining the permission of Dr. G. B. Zehmer, Dean Extension and President Colgate W. Darden of the University, they met with the Gen- eral Assembly to get its approval of a branch. In January 1954, it consented and made a small appropriation to carry out this experimental program. By the last week of April, 1954, the Board of Supervisors of Wise County composed of B. H. Body, G. Maddox, G. Horne, and W. B. Lay offered the facilities of Wise and the building known as the County Poor Farm to the development of a college. In July 1954, the inmates of the home, originally built as a Detention Home for de- linquent girls in 1924, were transferred. Mr. Charles B. McElroy, local architect , directed the work which imme- diately began upon the building to suitably remodel it for ya school program. Mr. Crockett converses with Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Thompson.

Harold Jackson and Orby Cantrell of Pound gave another S 500. In order to furnish the building with necessary equipment, contributions totaling more than S 5000 were made by various organizations and individuals in this area. The community which the college was to serve lent valuable support without which the college experiment would have been retarded. Fred Greear, University Alumnus, headed a group of Wise County Alumni in support of the college. He has now become a member of the Board of Visitors which keeps the University aware of the needs of the college. Other contributors not pictured are Herb Thompson, Piggly Wiggly, and many others. During the summer of 1955, with a special grant of S 5,000 from the C. Bascom Slemp Foundation and the re- mainder appropriated by the University, a modern well-equipped Chemistry Laboratory was established. The obvious success of the operation came by late fall of 1955 when the people joined with President Darden in requesting the legislature to appropriate funds to make the institution permanent. The 1956 session of the Virginia General Assembly appropriated a small operating budget and S 500,000 for the building of new buildings. On July 1, 1956, the Wise County Board of Supervisors, this time composed of E. E. Brooks, R. C. Sikes, E. D. Mullins, and John McKilgore officially deeded the property to the college. The University immediately purchased adjoining tracts of land to create a campus of approximately 250 acres. Earl and Payne Jackson of Pound contributed S 500. George Wharton of Wise who sparked the gift fund presented the first check of S 500 to Will Bond Lay.

Campbell was appointed Dean, and he came in the process of the remodeling of the building, bringing his helpful partner, Mrs. Campbell who was to head the Business College. The faculty arrived, and some were recruited from the area. ln September, 1954, 135 students axembled outside the school for the orientation program. Mr. Crockett gave the principal speech in which he said, You are making history today. This new branch is the first such branch in the history of the University.

Subjects were limited, but first year courses were offered in Education, Engineering , and Arts and Sciences. and Be Came a College After a few weeks of organizing, the students were anxious to show off the faculty and school to the people. The occa- sion for this was Open House in October, 1954. In the receiv- ing line there were President and Mrs. Colgate Darden, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Crockett, and Senator Robinson among others who were eager supporters of the college. The response that we received on that cold, rainy day was an indication that this was a college of the people of Southwest Virginia. The project had begmm as an extension center, evolving to the Clinch Valley Division of the University of Virginia, and finally adopting a permanent name, the Clinch Valley Col- lege of the University of Virginia. To 54 students , having completed successfully a two year course, this college did offer certificates thus graduating its Pioneer Class in spring 1956. -- L! as 2 M we. f-.si -v -'-- , - -1 was Leng? .4 .3 ' f ,z -A ef ,-.cf ,wg im n TOP-Some members of first faculty.

We remember the zeal- ous young professors who fostered such cordial and healthy relations and the older experi- enced professors who shared with us the priva- tions and inconveniences of a new experiment They accompanied us through thick and thin. As we cleared the way to education to- gether, a congenial relationship existed which is more firmly molded as the years pass. Our pioneering class shared with the faculty and administration all the hardships and ex- citement which accompany the establishing of a college. While we took written tests they took tests of their endurance, tests which were difficulty yet they succeeded in scoring high when we sometimes failed. We had other faculty members the second year, and we continued to grow under their supervision and guidance. We greedily con- sumed the variety of courses they offered. Although Charlotteville is 350 miles away, and we may sometimes feel like a distant child, the frequent contacts and visits from there lend guidance and support. We are proud to be the first branch of the University of Virginia and their history and tradition gives us a feeling of noble birth. Dr. GEORGE B. ZEHMER Dean of Extension, University of Virginia and Director of Clinch Valley College 1954-56 The new branch was placed under the direction of of Dr. Zehmer, whose long experience in exten- sion and understanding of community education made him an able director. Kindly and sympathet- ic, he has helped mold Clinch Valley into an institution suited to the needs of the area. as 1 2 ' , ,L ,WW,,,.. is ' its . it New sg , M -mf at N if , Mm W . 5 1.-at 2 sa-'X , LJ, , unfit-f'L ,- ,H my -.qi ,HLSI1 as ,, Q.. was - fc-se. 1 ami .A 3 , , W B.

DARDEN, Jr. President of the University of Virginia At his inauguration as President of the University in 1947, Mr. Darden expressed his belief that the University should take greater responsiblity for the education oi all its cit- izens anri that the University's influence should be felt in every community in Virginia. He stated It is my be- lief that we must seek to accommodate those who have the capacity and the desire to extend their mental hori- zons. We may do it here or at associated colleges, but it must be done. It is no wonder that he was receptive and enthusiastic to the request from the people of South- west Virginia for a branch college. His support and en- thusiasm has continued and grown so that by the end of the first two years he remarked Clinch Valley is the most refreshing experiment in education that I've ever seen, barring none. C 1 i nch Valley has grown and prospered with his active leadership and encouragement. A new institution could not have found a president, more sympathetic, more en- couraging and more helpful. w 1 r si mall.: . 1 'i Mr. SAMUEL R. CROCKETT Director of Extension, Southwest Virginia Director of Clinch Valley College 1956-67 Due to Mr. Zehmer's illness, Mr. Crockett, the energetic dir ector of extension services in Southwest Virginia, became Director of the College the third year. Mr. Crockett, who was instrumental in the establishment of the college , acted as liaison with the University throughout the first two years.

ViC2 -President: Elizabeth Colley, Secretary Student Council '55-'56 tudent Government The idea for student government originated with the pioneer class. The student body e- lected its officers October 27, 1954 who were President - Kyle lessee, Vice -President - Howard Dean, Secretary - Victor Hamilton, and Treasurer - Shirley Wilson. The officers represented the pioneer class, namely the student body. There was no constitution. The student body of 1955-'56 elected student body officers: President - Kyle lessee, Vice - President - Roy Wells, and Secretary - Treasurer - Elizabeth Colley. These student officers working with a committee of students and faculty members submitted a suggested constitution to the student body for approval. The final constitution was adopted October 30, 1955 for the student body. One of the things for which the constitution provided was a Student Council, to be the major factor of student government. The student body officers were to be Student Council officers. An election for class representatives to the Council was held January, 1956. The three Council officers who were Kyle Jessee, Roy Wells, and Elizabeth Colley and the four class representatives Dalton Graham and Elizabeth Stallard from the freshman class and Ed Gilliam and Ronald Sturgill from the sophomore class comprised the first Student Council. 24 ,ii 1956-57 Council The beginning of the term 1956-'57 saw the election of new student body and Council officers who were: President- Robert Leonard, Vice -President-Jerry Brickey, and Secretary- Treasurer -Elizabeth Stallard. Each class elected its representatives to the Council, and they were Tommye Branham and Paul Kilgore for the sopho- more class and Larry Midkiff and Judy Bond for the freshman class.

Honor Court Interest in having an Honor System pattemed after the mother institution was shown the first year at Clinch Valley College. The spark was rekindled again in 19 55 by several students when a sort of Honor Club was set up to consider the question of having an Honor System. The group paved the way for a constitution which would provide for the Honor System. The adopted constitution not only included pro- visions for an Honor System, but it included provisions for an honor code and court and all necessary imple- ments of an Honor System. The Honor Code prepared by a group of students Ronald Sturgill, Carol Sue Wil- liams, Paul Quillen, James Lipps, and Linda Addington was adopted by a choice of 95 per cent of the students in May 19 56. An Honor Court, an implement necessary for the full fledged operation of the Honor System, was elected in the fall of 19 56. It consisted of :Eve students Emory srauard, Jolene Yates, and Dan Joyce of the sophomore class and Mary Frances Burton and Wilma Nash of the freshman class.

William Wordsworth CLASSES Students were admitted to the various schools at Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia in September, 1954. Courses such as chemistry, physics, and calculus were the delight of every Engineer- ing class. You can bet no campus has been surveyed so thxoughly as ours. Come rain, snow, or sun, the claxplotsthe location of every ant hole on campus. The Liberal Arts and Science program in- clude clases of foreign language, English, Philosophy, Psychology, and sociology. How many were able to translate the grunts from French records? The abstract splotching of paint on canvas was the primary interest of the art class. Not everyone was able to analyze the H2 S fumes from chemistry lab especially when they were combined with the delicate perfumes from sharkfish in the zuology lab. The Business and Commerce students lived 'and thought to the peck of type- writers. No problem was too big for them to tackle. The Education studenls took professional courses along with liberal arts courses. They rose nobly to the cause of the teaching pro- fession. Many were their solutions to improve the educational system of this area. A common thought was tlnal examinations and a Basal stampede before sunset. Weep- ing a.nd gnashing of teeth accompanied our anxiew before exam retums, but in the normal course of events we are a hard work- ing and industrious group at C.V.C. '49 The First Assembly The Pioneer Class When many of us first applied for admission to the new college in Wise, it was with much hope and a great deal of faith that we applied to the University of Virginia Extension Division in Marion for admission to a college which was not yet in existence. It was with a growing faith in the permanence and future growth of the newly or- ganized school that we enrolled, entered and attended but it was not until spring of the first year that we were actually attending Clinch Valley College, for it was called Extension Division, Extension Center, and Clinch Val- ley Branch all in succession before the name of Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia was finally settled. We remember very well the first day at the new college at the county poor farm, and many were the jokes of attending P.F.U. On the first day as we were receiving our orientation lectures from Mr. Samuel Davy Crockett in barnyard number one, we were commended for our zeal and great interest in education which led us to come so eagerly seeking knowledge. At this remark a litter of little pigs and their mother galloped eagerly down the hill to join the group. We had many barnyard friends during the first two years, an important one being Old Horse John without which a course in Commercial Law would have been impossible. The relations existing between faculty and stu- dents were cordial and fraternal from the start. The students and faculty alike felt the excitement of the new venture and the earnestness and stimu- lation of the beginning years were intensified by the knowledge that many of us would never have been able to attend college without Clinch Val- ley. The building has been hurridly remodeled and equipped, and there were many privations and in- conveniences. Who will forget mixing chemicals on the basement floor until the desks and equip- ment arrived, and who among the men students will forget the scarcity of co -eds?

With wailing lungs and icy fingers the young men pushed each car to the highway. They became one of the first social clubs known as the dirt daubers. Our class history for the first year was the history of the school for we were not only a class but the entire student body. We elected Kyle Iessee student body President, Howard Dean - Vice -President, and Secretary - Victor Hamilton, and Treasurer - Shirley Wilson. That first year we began the glee club, veterans club, basketball and baseball, social activities, student gov- ernment, and the school paper. The second year we welcomed a first year class and being old timers we con- stantly reminded them of how it was in the beginning and how times have changed. This second year we e- lected the following class officers: President - Bruce Scott, Vice -President - Larry Branham, and Secretary and Treasurer - Evelyn Bolling. As a whole we were a serious and earnest group stimulated by the feeling of being pioneers beginning something important and lasting. It is with great pride that we were the first class at Clinch Valley. The 39 college and 15 business students who re- ceived certificates in May, 1956 felt like true pioneers. iticking . . . social center in the library . . . beards . . . baseball queens . . . Elmer.

Last year the num- ' ber who received certificates were twelve. Many of these people now serve as secretaries, clerks, and typists for the various businesses of H L this area. The business program is now being reorganized so that those who will specialize in business take a general college course along with requirements for a degree in secretarial science. As the pro- gram was arranged formerly, students did not work toward a special r degree, but certificates were awarded those who completed a year of business courses. Mrs. Emma McCraray who came to school in the fall of 1956 is developing the curriculum for the new program.

On our arrival at Clinch Valley College, which was then in its sec- ond year of operation, we had the feeling of encountering a new and different experience. We helped wreck walls and enclosed porches to make additional classrooms. We mixed chemicals on the basement floor and trudged through mud getting to and from classes. We welcomed new faculty members who taught second year courses for the upperclassmen, and we elected the following officers: President, Don Womack, Vice-President, Jeanette Fuller, and Secretary, Joetta Nash. Various activities claimed the time and energy of the students. Jeanette Fuller played the leading role of the play production, 'Our Town , given by the Gladeville Players of Southwest Virginia. In our production of 'Blithe Spirit', Jack Jones, Bruce Rusell, Jolene Yates, and Elizabeth Stallard played lead- ing roles. The freshman social committee sponsored one social affair where the students and faculty were entertained. Don Womack and Jeanette Fuller reigned as King and Queen of Hearts. This year, 1956-1957, we bade farewell to Dean and Mrs. Campbell and Brownie and welcomed the new Dean, Mr. Smiddy. We envision a beautiful H-shaped building on the ground where our faithful Don WOMACK, Class President of 1955-56 my N H u1?5? f ' of Year HSS '57 R X crmr 4.90 STMAS DANCE 1956 Q96 P339 We overs SOM friends, the cows, pigs, chickens, horses, and turkeys once roamed. The barn equiprneht which adorned our original campus has been replaced by sewage diggers and surveyors for the new building. We became the upperclassmen, and again we greeted new faculty members and saw new courses in- troduced. Our elected class officers were: President, Bob Colyer from Wiseg Vice-President, Dan Joyce, from Richlandsg Secretary-Treasurer, Tommye Branhan from Big Stone Gap. With student body President, Robert Leonard. and other college leaders from our class we took new dignity. 'Red' Purkey even stopped rolling coke bottles and 'Slick' Light attended one out of six class es. Our Christmas season was climaxed by a formal Christmas party midst starlight and greenery. Ken- neth 'Red' Purkey and Jolene Yates who were crowned Mr. and Miss C.V.C. reigned over the party for students and faculty. The activities of the students were varied. Several people played leading roles in two one-act plays sponsored by the Drama Club. Bruce Russell of our class directed 'The Sheriff', a one-act play while several students worked backstage with property and lights.

Shirley Stanton in Art-2 Since Clinch Valley College began operating, Saturday and night classes have been included in the program. Courses are designed for those people who have careers and cannot attend regular day classes. Teachers who wish to re- new teaching certificates take the required courses at night and Saturdays, while business personnel have the chance to develop new skills with business courses. Many take art, philosophy, typing, and other courses purely for en- tertainment and self-improvement. Night and Saturday classes served 116 persons the first year, 107 the second year, and 129 enrolled in 1956-'57, Summer school has been offered at Clinch Valley College two summers with 177 enrolled in 1955 and 163 in 1956. Instructors from other institutions come to offer new and varied courses, and workshops and labs are a vital part of the summer school program.

Various clubs are approved by the Constitution and these clubs are designed to amuse and edify. At times, the problem of picking appropriate times and places for meetings is a hindrance both to the growth and popularity of the club, but our spirits are not dampened. We like to think that few colleges with a commuting student body as ours can boast such enthusiasm for activities. ' Major activities include the HIGHLAND CAVALIER, Drama Club, Future Teachers, OUTPOST, band, and Glee Club. When new talent appears we will readily cultivate it and recruit new interest to organize another activity. The Social Committee plans and provides socials which have been and continue to be a vital part of our activities. Basketball and baseball are the only com- petitive sports we have. Boys who play either game have our recognition and support. They have no monetary or scholarship enticements, but they compete with other colleges for the love of the sport. The activities in our various home com- munities consume much of our time. Many students are employed part time at jobs, and many participate in community activities. Last year Wise County celebrated its centenn- ial, and the college furnished its share of people for the pageant. The forums for which The Inn is noted claimed the time of several students. Never has a beginning college boasted of a student body with such varied activities. Activities include everything from coon and deer hunting to trout fishing and managing chicken farms. i viii..

Professor W. L. Wilson gave an answer to this request when he met with interested students in journalism. He and they gave birth to our HIGHLAND CAVALIER. Paul Kilgore was the first editor-in-chief assisted by Elizabeth Colley. Mitch Turner and Charlotte Dison were also a part of the staff. The first three issues of the paper were mimeographed. The school officials were impressed with the progress of the paper, and through the efforts of Mr. Crockett, Mr. Wilson, and the splendid cooperation of Mr. Pres Atkins, editor of the COALFIELD PROGRESS in Norton, the fourth and all subsequent issues of the HIGHLAND CAVALIER have been printed.

At the be- ginning of the second semester Jack Jones relieved Roy as Editor-in-Chief and Cecil Walden became assistant to him. The pair ably headed the staff through this year. During the first two years of operation Billy Joe Sturgill very capably handled the paper's business activities. Bill E.

A yearbook is a lot of hard work but come the end, a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. For fur- ther information ask Tommye Branham, editor and Frank Cloud, business manager of the first yearbook. Interest in a yearbook started the second yearg and Ed Gilliam was named editor. Some pictures were made and plans drawn but too many other committments grounded the project. When the students ar- rived in 1956 the interest was strong and the Student Council took the initiative by appointing a staff. Mrs. Helen M. Lewis was named faculty advisor. The results are before you. In a close and exciting election THE OUTPOST was selected by the student body as the name, edging out THE MOONSHINER. Then the work began. Don King Studios of Appalachia made pictures with snaps made by Carl Snodgrass, Paul Kilgore, and Mrs. Helen Lewis. Charles Taylor organize picture schedules, and Buddy Davis and Janice Eblen handled the class pages. Mary Lou Johnston drew up the pages, the cartoons, and the map. Elizabeth Stallard and Lou Castle put together all the writing with contributions as follows: History - Carl Snodgrassg Sports - Dale Bessp faculty - Jimmy Varner and other reports on clubs and activities by Jolene Yates, Helen Hale, Don Gilliam, and Faye Tucker. Kyle Jes- see and Elizabeth Colley of the Pioneer Class sent in material on their first class and the first two years at C.V.C. 84 Post Staff 5 The writers There was plenty of business to handle and Dan Joyce and Zelma Mullins had the big job of ,circu- lationg contacting last year students, publicizing, soliciting subscriptions from the present student body and collecting money. Bob Shepherd, the assistant business manager, Robert Leonard, Emory Stallard, Bruce Russell, Marshall Vicars and many others sold advertisements in their far-flung communities.

College people participating in the play were: Jack Jones, Jeanette Fuller, Diane Bryson, Jim Barr, James Varner, Bobbie Tiller, Mr. Judd Lewis, Mrs. Helen Lewis, and Mis Anna Miller. The group became officially known as the Highland Players in early 1956. The group began with twenty members and e- lected the following officers: President - Evelyn Bolling, Secretary - Elizabeth Stallard, and Treasurer - James Barr. The first production was B1ithe Spirit by Noel Coward given twice, once in Wise and once in Pound. The members of the cast were Edith - Elizabeth Stallard, Madame Arcati - Diane Bryson, Dr. Brad- man - Jack Jones, Mrs. Bradman - Linda Addington, Ruth - Carol Sue Williams, Charles Condomine - Bruce Russell, and Elvira - Jolene Yates, stage manager - Kyle lessee, lighting and properties - James Barr, costumes and properties - Betty Mullins, Directors - Miss Miller, Mr. Lewis, and Mrs. Lewis. The Highland Players gave two one-act plays in February 1957, one of which was taken to Richmond and entered in the Vir- ginia College Play Festival. The Sheriff and Happy Journey had student directors Bruce Russell and Jack Jones. 'VIC O TOP: Jolene, Bruce, Liz, and Jack practice Blithe Spirit.

G ee Club and Band Plans for a singing group early September '55 got underway when Barbara Winstead organized the first Glee Club. Mr. Joseph Smiddy directed our singing group to the pitch note of Mr. Gibson's coke bottle. Stickes, washtubs, and spoons served as accompaniment until Lynn Sheeley Piano Company donated a piano. Our club accepted many dinner engagements at which we sang many old favorites. Steak dinners were too enticing to pass, and we thoroughly enjoyed singing at any dinner engagement. Remember the effect of Jim Varner's and Diane Bryson's solos upon highschool boys and girls the first year. Remember the complicated activity period system when we became rusty from lack of prac- tice, but how we came forth with renewed interest in choral and a organized one of the favorite activ- ities of C.V.C. How we enjoyed those trips to surrounding county schools and the clubs, and how we .thrived under Mr. Smiddy's direction. Newcomers in '56 became interested in a college band which could play at college socials. Lacking soline basic insturment Mr. Smiddy and several students have succeeded in getting together and playing li e a combo. Mr. Smiddy, Anne Newberry, Delores Barker, Vin- cent Babrosky, and Bucky Jones The Veterans The first year the veterans organized and elected officers who were: President - James DeWitt Bond Vice-Presidnet - Curtis Lyons, and Secretary and Treasurer - Troy Gardner with Professor Vance as advisor. The club gave 21 few parties, and the ma- jor accomplishment was providing a parking lot for C.V.C. The oiicers elected for 1956-'57 were: President - Bramble Davidson, Vice-President - Creed Beverly, and Secretary and Treasurer - A1- bert Snodgrass. 'XS I Future Teachers of America Several prospective teachers in 1954 became interested in organizing a chapter of the Future Teachers of America, but the S. R. Crockett Chapter of the F .T.A. was not organized until the fall of 1955. Dr. O. K. Campbell and Dr. John C. Sheffield, both education instructors, proposed affiliation with the national club. The first officers were Victor Hamilton - President, Carter Collins - Vice President, and Evelyn Bolling - Secretary and Treasurer. Dr. John C. Sheffield was sponsor. In the spring of 1956 the chapter was acting host at the Regional Conference of the F.T.A. held at The Inn. The officers for 1956-'57 are President - Cecilia Walden, Vice- President - Elizabeth Addington, and Secretary and Treasurer - Zelma Mullins. The program committee consisted of several students: Emory Stallard, Lynn Wells, Carol Stallard, Shirley Heaberlin, and Lorene Addington. The VETERANS gather on the front porch 1.5 .. 4 Baseball Sports activities began at Clinch Valley the first year with both men's basketball and baseball. Lack of money, equipment, gym, playing field, and transportation did not deter the athletic-minded players. The 1955 baseball team started slowly but finished impressively by winning the last three games of the seven game schedule. The early losses were to Lincoln Memorial University, Tusculum, Hiwassee, and Keokee High School. The three wins were from Tusculum, Keokee, and Hiawassee. Professor Gibson was acting manager of the team assist- ed by Joe Slaughter, the regular shortstop who has chosen field captain. This first team was composedof Jim Lipps, Don Jack Mullins, Joe Slaughter, Bobby Tiller, Huillet Hubbard, Larry Branham, Raymond Carter, Carter Collins, Paul West, Dewitt Bond, Lawrence Dingus, Howard Dean, Sheriel Hayden, Kyle Jessee, Paul Kindgore, Troy Gardner, and Ronnie Sturiill. The baseba team began a tra 'tion -- electing and crowning a ay Queen. Carol Sue Williams was crowned at the Tusculum game. Patsy Stanley and Shirle Wilson were runners-up. Lady Luck did not smile on the basebalfteam the second year. They played L.M.U. , East Tenn. State, Pikeville College, University of Vir- ginia freshmen, and the St. Paul semi-pro team and completed the season winless. Dale Bess, Ray Mullins, Don Womack, Bramble David- son, Jim S1ick' Light, and Kenneth Red Purkey joined the team, and Professor John Litton acted as manager and Joe Slaughter as field captain. Despite the losses, it was frm and who will forget when the bearded Abe Lincol.ns from C.V.C. invaded Lincoln Memorial Uni- versity and challenged the Railsplitters to a game of baseball? Again we crowned a May Queen. Tommye Branham was crowned Queen with JeannetteFuller and Venus Trusley runners-up. The crowning occurred when the freshman team from the Charlottesville branch came up for a little molmtain air and a game of a ball. At press time, with snow still on the ground, we are looking for- ward to spring and another ood season of baseball. We are expecting the following new players: SVincent Babrosky, Skinny Campbell, Buddy Davis, Harold McCoy, Bob Hibbitts, Fred Van Bever, Jerry Brickey, and Tony Jenkins.

The Wise Elementary School gymnasium was made available for practice and games, and the players used their own cars and met the expenses of the road trips. Howard Harrison acted as both player and coach the first and second years. The first basketball team in the history of C.V.C. consisted of L. C. Mondridge, Larry Branham, Huilet Hubbard, Carter Collins, Grady Maggard, Troy Gard- ner, Lawrence Dingus, Kyle Jessee, and Howard Harrison. At the end of the season C.V.C. had won 4 and lost 6, playing the following high- school teams: Haysi, Clinchco, Pound, Whitewood, Ervington, Keokee, and Appalachia. Who will ever forget the trip to Whitewood which seemed always to disappear over the next mountain? Eventually, after going around Jim Young Mountain, Up Contrary Creek, over Dismal River, and across Pilgrim Knob, we arrived. The second year the following were added to the team: Roy Artrip, Dan Joyce, Don Womack, Dalton Graham, Emory Stallard, Robert Leonard, Jerry Brickey, Earnest Mullins, Lowell Wright, and Jim Barr. Games were played with small colleges and independent teams in- cluding Pikeville, Bluefield, and Steed Colleges, and the season ended with 8 losses and 3 wins. Professor Goode assisted in transportation with the use of his Cadillac to go to Pikeville where the team was edged by the score of 106 to 38. Who will forget the snowy trip to Bluefield in a black 40 with only a spotlight working? We arrived only to discover that the game had been cancelled due to the weather, but we had not been notified. 'Twas a cold and bitter slide back across the mountains to Wise. Larry Branham's broken leg was our major casualty of the season. The third year brought cheerleaders and the following new players: Slick Light, Frank Horne, Sam Zirkle, Robert Skeens, Frank Hillman, Morgan Bolling, Buddy Davis, Skinny Campbell, and James Watts. Sam DiJCOn, coach at Appalachia High School, was employed as part-time coach for the team. The schedule included Sue Bennett, Tusculum, Cumberland, and Pikeville. We have not yet won as we are playing good, experienced teams, out of our class, yet as we go to press our hopes are still high. The motto of the Clinch Valley Basketball team might be We may not win, but we get some good exercise, see the mountains of W. Va. and Ky. and have a lot fun. What more should basketball bring? 91 ' A s 1 , ,44- Baagetba Captain Campbell and Coach Dix on w K I l i ,,-f' THOSE FIRST YFAR PARTIES! ! Social Life 4. Q'- 'I'he scarcity or co-eds limited the Pioneers class's social to three memoriable ones. The Thanks- giving dance, held at the Fort De Glade V. F. W. was the beginning of much fun and good times. The students took advantage of the Christmas season to get better acquainted at an informal party at the 'Club House. The 'capping stone' was the semi-formal Valentine's dance at the Fort De Glade V.F.W Post. Next year more co-eds came which created a sharp demand for social affairs. The new student body felt it need be the benefactor and beneficiary of socials galore. Valentine 's dance over which the King and Queen of hearts, Don Womack and Jeanette Fuller was sponsored by the freshman class. And who be- sides the refreshment committee knows the amount of apple cider imbibed by the students and faculty at an old time square dance? Better even, who forgot the h1mg jury and starnrnering judge in the hog calling contest? V' Nowis the hour when we did part - the pioneers waltzing hom our lives and leaving us to carry on, but they departed tactfully, so sad because they could not continue, yet happy that we were able. YE OLD BARN DANCE!! INN C' Fmal Fo 172131 of 1 Jack and Jolene in charge of the Christmas Dance. We have maintained the informal and friendly atmosphere which has provided a zip to our socials. The new class boast- ed many co-eds and yotmg men. The Drama Club Sponsored a masquerade Halloween party with a setting of eerie spooks, ghosts and goblins with a cast of Spanish girls and fortune tellers and the plot to have a good time. The King and Queen of C.V.C. reigned amongst the Canes and Candles at our memoriable Christmas dance. The basketball team was our guest at a banquet March 8, a token of our appreciation to their devotion to basketball. Who can forget the picnics and weiner roasts at Valley Lake in the spring. Can Miss Kegler's students forget the parties in class just before Christmas? Who of the Blithe Spirit cast can forget the informal gatherings at the Lewises 's home and drive-in? Lets not forget the parties in the lolmge and Snack Bar, where students and faculty alike danced and reminesced to the tunes of Fats Domino. Open house was held each year for students, friends, family and faculty.

Among others to participate in the pageant were Carol Sue Williams, Lona Wharton, and Elizabeth Stallard who shared in the fun making episodes of the old square dance days. The college in general joined in observing the centennial. Beards and string ties were a must for the well-dressed gentlemen.

Many students work in various occupations and businesses through- out the area and are, therefore, vital parts of the economic life of the region. As many stu- dents become better trained they will contri- bute more to the future growth and prosperity of the area.. Our advertisers come from the communities served by the college, and their support of Clinch Valley College is greatly appreciated. 97 GLADEVILLE COAL CORPORATION A + O ,qt Q 1. 5 I A ll 2 Jing: ff -N BV 'NH H W A WR H qv T O W Q -Le NW 'uh' H'-H gfgiuli F' I rv .I 6' MINEHS AND SHIPPERS OF BITUMINOUS STEAM AND BY-PRODUCT COAL Phone: Wise 5646 , ' P.

Anqusrlura The S500,000 appropriation by the Gen- eral Assembly brings to reality our dream for a new academic building for Clinch Valley College. The large double L- shaped building of brick and glass, which we hope will be ready for occupancy in summer of 1958, includes a library, cafe- teria, and much needed class rooms and of- fices. It rises high as the spirit of CVC and peers down at our present building. The new building will be situated on the saddle of the two hills in the background of this picture. Johnson, Craven, and Gibson, A.l.A,, are architects with local architect Charles Mc- Elroy assistaing. He will be on the grounds to supervise the construction. 1 1 0 fa 4, kv, 1 l ' fl Y 0 N' .

The new modern faculty houses will over- look the tree-lined boulevard which is to come up the valley, following the route of the sewer line pictured above. Joel Vicars designed and l will supervise the faculty housing project. 111 n f60 Q, 6 COMPLIMENTS OF I KENNEDY'S PIGGLY WIGGLY STORES, INC.
