'FEATURES OF YEAR AREtWELL-REMEMBERED EVENTS From the beginning of school, one event after another burst upon us in rapid sequence. The events not only included working and learning together, as pictured on the preceding pages, but 'laughing and playing together. We have recorded in this section outstanding events of the year. It was felt that recognition for achievement should be given to whom it was due. Fieldale High School certainly always has its just share of beauty, talent, personality, and scholarship. Therefore, the FIELDCREST inthis section has honored those who received awards, also. - No student knew who the recipients of these awards were until May, immediately before the Hi gh li gh t i n g the year was the long-awaited and festive junior-senior banquet and prom held at the Lynwood Club. With their backs to the camera are, left to right: Joy Smith and Iva Jarrett. Across the FIELDCREST was to be distributed. During the awards program, c 0 pi e s of the FIELDCREST were presented to these students first in order to further honor them for their accomplishments. As we finger through these pages, we may linger on one special page. For there we may live once more a happy moment of the by- gone year. Whether it was the v e ry f i r st opening assembly in the auditorium, the harvest festival, the beauty pageant, the banquet and prom, a- wards day, or the night of graduation, we re- member it all. It was ours--a time of enjoying life to the fullest, a time we never had before and shall never have again. table facing the camera are Janet Smith, Mary Ann Shires, Audie Turner, and Jeanette Setliff serving tea to Jean Plaster.

CPENING DAY IS ONE OF EAGER EXPECTATIONS Onthe opening day of school, Mr. Iler welcomes the old and new students to F. H. S. As the doors of Fieldale High School opened in September for another season, our principal, Mr. Iler, and student council president, Randy Joyce, greeted the student body and faculty with words of welcome. This year our enrollment was increased by a large number of eighth graders who took part in many activities of our school life. With a p r o m i s i n g and capable faculty, we began to live this school year in hopes of gain- ing knowledge not only from books but also from many other experiences. We looked forward to the year with great expectations of continuing old friendships and making aquaintances with new students. Randy Joyce, the S. C. A. president, addresses the student body and faculty on the first day of school.

WITH FALL COMES BLOODMOBILE AND TESTS The senior class of Fieldale High School sponsored the bloodmobile. Our students com- bined their efforts with Fieldcrest Mill's in an attempt to serve the County by obtaining blood donors from the s u r r o undi ng communities. 'Several of our own students, who were already eighte e n years of age, gave blood. We were very proud that We exc e e de d our quota. The blood was supplied to the blood bank of the Roanoke District. In late September, Fieldale students took three tests: Schools and Colleges .Aptitude Test KSCATD, Sequential Test of Educational Progress CSTEPJ, and the Differential Aptitude Test QDATJ. The members of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades took the SCAT and STEP, and the eighth graders, the DAT. SCAT tests measure a p e r s on' s ability to solve p r o ble m s of a mathematical nature, to give m e ani n g s of Words, and to understand Our community physician, Dr. G. W. Curwen, gives Frank Bossart his okay before Frank donates his pint of blood. sentences. The STEP tests include math, science, social studies, reading, listening, and writing. These tests measure how well a person is able to use what he has learned and not what he remembers. DAT includes verbal r e a s o ni n g , abstract reasoning, language including spelling and sen- tences, clerical speed and accuracy, mechani- cal reasoning, and space relations.
