Flemington was founded by a man everyone knew as Major” Johnson Fleming. He could be compared to the Wright Brothers. They got credit for the first airplane, but Major” gets credit for the first glider in the area. He demonstrated it by flying off the “old college hill, which is where the high school stands today. He used whale bones for the frame and imported Japanese silk for the wings. Imagine Flemington as a booming coal mining town, with a cattle industry, a hotel, three restau- rants and a movie theater. The hotel, run by Pete Davison, had the true leg- end of almost every hotel in the country, posted — Jesse James slept here! The movie theater, the Nickelodian, located on Pennsylvania Avenue, charged only a nickel admission at the time. It was heated by small wood and coal burning fireplaces built around the room. These fireplaces were eventually the down- fall of the theater. Other buildings in the downtown area included a millinery shop, a drugstore, the jailhouse, court house and mayor’s office. Across the tracks from the courthouse was the train depot. This was the most prosperous indus- try in Flemington. Trains carried people, food, cattle, and many other products in and out of Flemington. There was a water pump between the railroad and Simp- son Creek that was used to fill the old steam engines. The creek did not have much sulphur in it at the time. On down the street from the hotel was the Bank of Flemington. Across the bank was the Monroe and Broard Store. It was where the Church of God is located now. Here you could buy anything imaginable, from food to dress goods, to nuts and bolts. On the opposite side of Mills Street from the bank, where the Flemington Methodist Church now stands, was the tannery. Everyone in Flem- ington brought hides here to be tanned and cured for leather. On up Mill Street, the old garage, across from Benda’s Grocery was the Ice House, where ice was stored for use in summer months. There was a gristmill on up along the creek where everyone took corn and wheat to be ground. The old one room school house was where the Flemington Baptist Church sits today. The old schoolhouse bell is still on its pole outside the church. There were two colleges in Flemington. One, where the grade school playground is now, the other, where the present high school is located. Almost every building that made Flemington a booming town is gone, either burned or torn down. What remains, however, are the people of the community and the town of Flemington. 4 Opening A child of the future? Styles sure have changed as well as heroes for the younger set. Here a nhild attends the Halloween dance as a Star Wars figure. Two men pose for a picture at the old train depot. Though several trains still run through Flemington, the depot is now just part of the history of the town. Opening 5 Fashion change, quick If you asked the average teenager today what a poodle skirt is, they would think it is a canine dress. Hot pants? Isn't that what you get when you flick your Bic too close to a pair of Levis? Crew cuts? Please, let’s be serious. Who in their right mind would get a hair-cut like that. Fashions have changed quite a lot. What would the people of yesterday think of today’s fashions. After all, T-shirts are supposed to be worn under a shirt. Look at the shoes. Clogs ... There is only half a shoe there. Tennis shoes being worn out in the snow? Ridiculous, you'll die of pneumonia. Earth shoes? Must be made of dirt. Looking at old photographs you may think that the fashions are strange, but think about them from the other point of view. From the T-shirt and jean style to the shirt and tie, fashion continues to be one of choice. Mr. Shields takes time to talk to students during a game. Although the fashions have changed, the front of school still remains a gathering place. 6 Opening Can you imagine wearing a long dress to school. At one time this dress was right in style. Almost anything can be put on T-shirts nowadays, from slogans to brand names. Sporting their T-shirts are Marian Loughran, Kim Ross, Paula Marra, Ellen Reed. Lisa Love and Sonya Lip- scomb. Though it is not a popular style, one can always see a cast or two roaming the halls during the year. Comfort and style are the impor- tant points to today’s fashion. Mrs. Burton works during her planning period. Opening 7 s o 8 Prom Remember when — — Remember the night of May 5, when Sharing the Night Together was the theme? — Remember when Rhonda Carder was crowned queen of the Prom with Susan Riffle and Trudi Chockey served as her princesses and Mark Haney was crowned king? — Remember when everyone danced the night away at Flemington's new Com- munity Center, decorated with stars, streamers, and glittering balloons. — Remember when you took a break and could choose from the menu of ham, meatballs, turkey and all the trimmings for a feast. — Remember when the Double Barrel Band played their last song, and the last of the decorations were taken down to deco- rate many a scrapbook. — Remember that special night of songs, flowers and special moments. Remember... To etfyer... Opposite page: Upper left: Sharing the night together are Sharon Payne and Ronnie Powell. Upper right: Dancing to the beat of Double Barrel are Debbie Davis and escort.

Prom 9 The morning bell and The time before class is often used for hamming it up-with friends. Get- ting ready for class are Paula Marra, Kelly Duncan, Leunard Schorr and Lisa Larue. Many students enjoy that last bit of fresh air in the morn- ing before the bell rings. A must for all girls before they go to class is combing their hair. Penny Parks takes one more minute before she is off to class. Watching the action in the gym are seventh grader. Mark Hill and Coach Zimmerman. 10 Opening Upper left: When the bell rings, not even the art work in the third floor hall distracts Tom Stewart. Upper right: Sharon Payne takes it easy while waiting for the bus to the United Career Center. Left: Before the bell rings Donna Wiseman and Judy Mullenax discuss last night's assignments. Lower left: Enjoying a game of basketball before classes begin is senior. Tim Heater. For some students, there is no spare time before classes start, but for those that arrive early, every moment is busy, whether it is catching up on the lat- est news, discussing last night’s movie, or getting in a bit of basketball before that bell rings. One thing is for certain, when the bell calls, stu- dents listen. Everyone moves Opening 11 All in a routine day The last minutes of class are spent gathering books and get- ting assignments. Sometimes there is even a little time for just sitting back, as these students wait for the bell to ring in Biol- ogy class. Classes provide all types of chal- lenges. Liz Norris puts finishing touches on her art project. Not every class goes on the same. Mr. Withers’ social studies class receives an unexpected visitor. Everyone’s favorite part of the day is lunch. Seventh and eighth graders catch up on the morn- ing's news during lunch. 12 Opening Study hall is a good time for Ron Devores and other students to catch up on their work. Seventh graders gather outside during their lunch break. Taking a careful aim at the bas- ket is Denise Wilfong. With a smile on their faces, cooks. Mary Ann Layman and Ruby Kittle prepare plates for lunch. Classes — classes — and more classes Opening 13 Vocational studies gains enrollment Vocational education has caught the eye of many students over the years. The classes, aimed at stu- dents with a technical career in mind, attract a large variety of students, from college bound students to those planning to go directly into a career upon grad- uation. Perhaps the most noticeable turn in vocational education is the enrollment of females in typically male classes, such as carpentry, and auto mechanics. Learning to balance tires at the United Career Center is Skip Ball and Ron Lambert. Discussing the day's lesson at the Career Center are Kelly Duncan, Chriss Riffle and Pam McCloy. Females can be seen more and more in male classes. Criss Riffle takes a swing in carpentry. 14 Opening In aulo body class at Gore. Butch Vincent and Mark Mazzie work on a car. Putting their brains together are John Smith. Ron Vincent, and Jeff Marshall in electronics. Working on her typing project is Debbie Davis, during class at the vocational center. Opening 15 Calling it a day After a hectic day of classes, does one go home and take it easy? Probably not. FHS students dance, bowl, skate and go to games plus lots of other activities to keep them busy. Sometimes it is even possible to squeeze in that English homework. After school activities include dances and music. Tim Heater and Greg Greg- ory. members of Fantasy, play at the Halloween dance. Bowling is just one of the winter sports that occupies a student's spare time. Practice after school occupies much of the cheerlead- ers’ time. 16 Opening Below: Learning to neatly fold hospital cor- ners is senior Janie Haney. Right: Learning the parts of the human body in nursing class is senior. Karen Layman. Above: Mrs. Winifred Heronimus, Nurses' Aide teacher, instructs the class. Right: The visitors to the Taylor Co. Vocational Cen- ter received quite a suprise when greeted by the class skeleton. .18 Activities Agricultural Mechanics is one of the many classes available to students. Working on machinery are Tom Duley and Mike Bartlett. Child care is one of the classes offered at TCVC. Getting involved with the students and children is instructor. Hazel Shaver. In a quite moment, Charmeigne Marks con- centrates on her secretarial work. Career choices flourish at vocational centers Opportunities abound for the students at FHS to select a career class to prepare them for the future. Not only does Taylor County boast a new voca- tional center, but students may also elect to attend the United Career Center located at Gore. Throughout the year, various groups from the high school tour both facilities, allowing students to preview the class and the work involved. The trips are usually a success, with many students selecting a class that they plan to carry on through-out their life. Activities 19 Making puppets and writing plays are fun and educational. Jimmy Allen and Karen Sheme work on their English project. Discussing their English projects are Greg Lipscomb and Tarina Swiger. Projects promoted Lots of action started happening in classes as sec- ond semester rolled around. While the upper class- men concentrated on novels and Shakespeare, the junior high took time out for projects such as puppet shows. Party time rolled around in Home Economics as the junior high created a party with favors and decorations to fit the mood of the moment. Are crayons and construction paper just for little kids? Not necessarily, as Patricia Ware and Shellie Spears create their shadow puppets. Muppets? Not quite, but they'll do just fine for Kelly Ware and Donna Wiseman. 20 Activities Displaying one of the many favors cre- ated during Home Economics class is Mr. Anna Whitescarver. teacher. Creating the suitable scenery for their production. Bobbie }o McCloy works on her group's project. Getting down to instructions, Mrs. Whi- telscarver aids students with the cre- ation of their projects. I Activities 21 A favorite pasttime of many stu- dents is bowling. Billy Great- house selects the right size bowl- ing ball for his outing. As natural as eating breakfast, Janie Haney boards the bus at the TCVC. Buses are one thing that most seniors will not miss. Nancy Elsey checks the vending machines after school. 22 Activities Discussing last night's game arc seniors Debbie Davis and Mark Isabella as Mike Fragale looks on. Cracking the books are the junior-sen- ior combined English class of Mrs. Walls. Seniors looking forward When you see a senior you know something is bound to be happening. Seniors fill their hours in with school work, jobs, sports, and just plain fun. Whenever you pass a senior with a faraway look in his eyes, you can bet he has one thing on his mind. There are college and job applications to be completed and careers to be started. However, before this this occurs, seniors look forward to those special days: Prom, senior skip day, awards and finally — graduation. 23 As the schedule is decided for basketball, Coach Zimmer- man and Tom Sheme exam- ine it for the high points! Grading papers. Miss Ielapi takes time out fora break. Even during his lunch period. Mr. Shaf- fer always has time to help and talk to students. 24 Activities - Sen) Qui; ’80------------------------------------------ Is it easier to remember 1980 by the hit songs?

The front of the school, though rarely used, collects its share of students during lunch time. It’s more than a building After everything is over. The dancing has stop- ped. The halls are quiet. Close friends are gone and working faraway. During the long hot spells of summer, everyone takes a backward glance at the school. Remember- ing and waiting for it all to start all over again. 28 Activities A backward glance at tradition One look at the trophy case is all that's needed to assure a casual observer of the fact that Flem- ington High has been very successful from an ath- letic stand point. Flemington, since winning their first third place trophy in Girls’ basketball back in 1931. has gone on to win ten sectional trophies, 5 regional tro- phies and many more Holiday and “Little 10” championships. Not to be excluded were the cheerleaders, with trophies in 1957-58. Basketball at Flemington is on the up-swing again — under Coach Zimmerman, a new teacher to the area. Dedicated to making the Greyhounds a strong team, Coach understands the integral parts of the game. Being a fundamentalist player, Zim- merman teaches his players to play clean, hard, and to give 150% in practice and in the game. Basketball went down after Robert Shields, principal, moved from coach to his present posi- tion. A rapid transition of coaches was one of the major reasons why the basketball program sunk. With Zimmerman’s program, dedication and knowledge of the game is definitely on the up- swing. With a backward glance, the team hopes to bring future teams to the high standard of play that has been such a tradition at Flemington High. 30 Athletics I Aliil fiii. Hit lilt ... 32 Baseball Ron Lambert catches a few before the game. Ain't no sunshine Wet and soggy would be the best way to describe baseball season for the Greyhound team. Try as they would, members found it virtually impossible to play a game under sunny skies. Inexperience also made its mark. Finding it impossible to keep up with more experienced foes, the Greyhounds looked forward to a new season. Rebuilding continues to be the password for the team. With summer leagues making an appear- ance in the area, the Greyhounds will look toward a younger squad to guide them toward sunnier days.

All State and All tourney player. A see-saw season The '79 Girls’ Basketball season opened at Flem- ington with high hopes. This season was different than last. This was a season to rebuild, learn and to receive playing experience. Or at least that is what everyone thought. The first half of the season saw its ups and downs for the Greyhoundettes. Winning their first three games but then losing their next three, the girls would not give up. They came back to win the next three games in a row to finish at 6-4 after the first ten games. Among its wins in the first half, were two over Notre Dame and Rowlesburg. Top: Showing ballhandling and speed, forward. Karen Williams flashes past her opponent from Hundred. Bottom: Throwing a ball inbound, the girls cut to the basket. Girls' Varsity 35 36 Girls' Varsity The school’s enthusiasm and spirit have run over into girls’ sports. Cheering the team on to victory over Hundred are FHS’s fans. Looking the situation over, guard. Penny Williams moves up the court. During a time out. Coach Zimmerman sets the players straight. Getting an itch to coach. Principal Rob- ert Shields, a former coach himself, watches the team in action. Good defense is an important part of the game as shown by Jackie Knotts. Getting stronger every day The second half of the girls’ season began with the ’Houndettes much more court wise. They gained valuable playing experience and learned from the mistakes a young team will make. They were able to gain confidence with every game. In the final six games the team recorded a 4-2 record, making their slate at the end of the season a happy 10-6 mark. The girls defeated Hundred twice plus wins over North Marion and Coalton, losing only to St. Francis. Bring their 10-6 record to Rowlesburg for the Holiday Tourney, Flcmington was favored. They came out of Rowlesburg as champs defeating Cen® tral Preston and Rowlesburg, with a 12-6 record going into sectionals. Girls' Varsity 37 Top Left: To have a good team you have to get tough. That, sometimes can hurt, as the girls get roughed up during sectional play against Clay-Batelle. Top Right: Playing on a court is not all there is to a basketball game. A lot of thanks should be given to the statisticians. The scoreboard says it all. Flemington is victo- rious in sectional tournament play, over Clay- Batelle. The end of a season 14-7 The Greyhoundettes went into the sectionals with a 12-6 record, feeling more confident than ever with a tourney tro- phy already tucked in their pockets. They were not to be dis- appointed in their bid for the sectional title. The team defeated Rivesville with a decisive 51-19 victory then defeated Clay Batelle 59-40, to become sectional champs. At the regionals, foul trouble spelled doomed for the hard- fighting team, with the Houndettes losing a tough game 38-31. 38 Girls’ Varsity Scoreboard Rowlesburg 44-36 R-W 49-40 Notre Dame 40-33 Coatlnn 38-42 R-W 50-52 South Harrison 36-44 Notre Dame 62-47 North Marion 59-41 Rowlesburg 62-47 South Harrison 39-43 St. Francis 31 46 Hundred 72-35 Coalton 64-24 St. Francis 31-36 Hundred 62-28 North Marion 46-42 Holiday Tournament Central Preston 51-39 Rowlesburg 57-44 Sectional Tournament Rivesville 51-19 Clay Batelle 59-40 Regional Tournament Pennsboro 31-38 Tipped into the air, it's now a fight for the ball. Girls' Varsity 39 One of the fans present during section- als. Sharri McKinney shows her enthu- siasm for the Greyhoundette team. Spirit is the key Present at every game this year, the Flemington cheerleaders found plenty to cheer about. But when a game wasn't on, they were doing plenty of other activities to boost school spirit. Signs were made, cupcakes distributed, baloons and gum to get the team up for the game. Behind the scenes, the cheerleaders sat patiently on buses, in the front, going over cheers and motions, getting ready for the moment that they would cheer their team on. Learning new motions to a cheer. Kim Gerard studies the move- ments. Members of the Boys' Varsity cheering squad were: Michele Vincent, Sylvia Upton, Cindy Stewart. Krista Smith. Regina Smith and Kim Gerard. Junior Varsity cheering members were: Demarus Bays. Kim Ross, and Tish Marra.

Beginning to build again Boys’ Varsity 43 Coming down from a hard rebound Jerald Rif- fle has trouble landing on both feet. Jerald was chosen for an all tournament player. Good position and great form are cashed into points, as guard David Bays shows. David was also an all tournament player. Hard work and unity are an important key to success. Pregame pep talks can be an inspiration to winning a game. 44 Boys' Varsity After winning 13 games last season and producing the first winning record in four years, the ’80s boys’ team felt confident of another good season. The team found the early part of the season a rough one winning three of ten games. The ’Hounds suffered setbacks to such teams as Rowlesburg Tyler County, Rivesville and two hard fought games to South Harrison. Three well deserved victo- ries were also present. The fans knew that the mold was there, the mak- ing of a good team. Up for two is forward, Todd VanGilder. Members of the 80 squad were: Coach Greg Zimmerman, Mark Isabella. Jeff Knotts. Skip Ball. Mark Mazzie. John Smith. Todd VanGilder. Ron Lambert. Jerald Riffle. David Bays. Ron Vincent, and Assist- ant Coach Rubonstein. Tom Stewart was manager for the squad.

Baby look at us now — We’re in the BIG TIME now. The stars are out once again as we take our place on the stage. A life of hard work is rewarded up through the years. The growing pains came and with these the joys and sorrows of our teen-age years. At this time, we thought, “I can’t wait to gradu- ate,” but now that we’re here, it’s not like we thought. No noise. No bells. No lunchroom. No lockers. It seems like so long ago, but it was only yesterday. As we remember our adolescent years, when adults told us no —. We rebelled. We fought — we lost. And what did it gain us? Everything —. Because in the end we listened to what was right. And now that we’re Seniors, we’re beginning to see the light. We hope we teach as well as those who taught us.

Diane Coltelli models her version of the western look. “Hey, did you go shopping for your Prom gown yet?” “No, I’m going this Saturday. I can just see how it’s going to be now. Anything I pick out is going to make my mom say it shows too much of me and anything my mom picks out is going to make me say it shows too little of me.” “Have you ever seen your mom’s Prom pic- ture?” “No, why?” “Well, I bet you if you find one of her and your dad, that her dress will be just as low cut as any- one you picked out. Maybe even more so!” “Really? How do you know?” “Our moms went to the same school and they were good friends remember?” “Yeah.” “So, I found my mother’s Prom picture and boy, was her dress low! I’ll bet your mom’s is too.” “I’ll see, looks like I get the dress of my choice this year.” Juniors 65 Carol Allison Mike Bartlett David Bays Lois Bowers Roy Brammer Susan Brown Bryan Chocky Sylvia Cobb Diana Coltelli Brian Cottrill Dan Criss Teresa Curtis Donna Delaney Ron Devores Kelly Duncan I Cindy Fast Rick Fleming Kathy Gray Joey Gerard Carl Greathouse Mark Greathouse 66 Juniors Charlie Green Greg Gregory Jenny Griffith Allison Harris Mike Hayes Jackie Knotts Lisa Larue Martha Lipscomb Velma Little Tammy Luckey Charmeigne Marks Paula Marra Juniors 67 Geoff Marshall Mark Mazzie Ed McCauley Pam McCloy Mike McKinney Sharri McKinney Marty Miles Annette Mullenax Ken Norris Penny Parks Ron Powell Regina Rager Dallas Reed Criss Riffle Kim Swiger Beverly Taylor Buddy Trimble Butch Vincent Penny Williams 68 Juniors A change in time “Hey, did you get our 5th period assignment? I wasn’t here yesterday. “Sure, we're studying the school system, old versus new.” “What did you do yours on?” I picked clubs. They had a lot of funny clubs back in the olden days.” Oh yeah? Like what? “Well, the old Glee club is now Chorus. The old Palette Club is now art class.” The old Library club is now just the library. The old Ukelele club is now extinct. “That sounds like a good report. I think I’ll use it.” “You can't, I already turned it in. Why don't you do yours on old cheaters versus new cheat- ers?” “Sounds good to me. Just joking.” Yeah me too.” Top: Studying has not disappeared through the years.

I’m starting a collection.” Oh really? How many do you have? Lots of them.” “Why so many?” Are you kidding? With the price of clothes today, this is the only thing I can afford to wear. “That’s a real neat bike you got there too. Does it cost much to run it?” “No, it's cheaper to drive than a car and it's faster than a horse. No mess to clean up either.” I see what you mean. Boy, our folks must have had it made back when they were kids. They didn’t have to pay much for clothes or buy gas to fill up their horses.” But you’re forgetting that they didn’t get around to see their friends either.” “You’re right. Let’s take a ride.” “Sure, hop on.” Above: As inflation continues to spiral, freshman, feff Ketterman, expresses everyone's sentiments with his T-shirt.

Last night when my parents took me shopping, mom threatened to buy me a dress instead of the jeans 1 picked out.” “That sounds funny!

But looking through old yearbooks or old pictures, you can find aunts, uncles, mothers and fathers in the same clubs you are in today. Organizations have always been an important part in school life. Often clubs help with career decisions as well as providing a break in the school day. Student Action for Education, Future Business Leaders and Future Homemakers, are a few of the clubs that have survived the times. New clubs, aimed at the vocational students are gaining mem- bership every year. No matter what your choice, large or small, aca- demic or fun, there is always a club for every stu- dent.

Not only does Pep Club help cheer on the team, but prepares to get the students in the mood by dressing appropriately in their blue and gold shirts. Its main fund-raising project is selling popcorn at lunch. The smell of popping corn fills the halls of school, making people’s mouths water that they just have to buy a bag.

BROWNIE’S SKATING RINK We Sell or Rent Skate Shoes Highway 76 — Flemington, WV Phone 739 4423 Paul, Pauline, and Connie Brown Skating and bowling are less expen- sive and a lot more fun. In this area alone there are four skating rinks and two bowling alleys. At BROWNIE'S SKATING RINK, right here in Flemington, you can skate for 2 2 hours with your arm around your favorite gal. For bowling, there is COMPTON BOWLING LANES, on old Bridge- port Hill that features the most mod- ern equipment in the area. Besides being less expensive, both activities have more advantages than a movie. While skating, if the girl starts to fall you get to put your arm around her. If your date is a good ska- ter, trip her. While bowling, you either get to be a bowling show-off or a gutter ball roller. Also there is more money, so then you can go out and eat. 108 Advertisements Ljsa Wilson watches the action in the gym before school starts. Looking over the newspaper are Jenny Griffith.

The halls, now deserted, echo with the fading sounds of laughter, slamming lockers and . . . wait a minute, there it is, the trady bell, better go get a tardy slip. Do you remember all the times you skipped gym to go down- town and it usually started pouring the rain down. What about the time we went sleigh riding on Talbot’s Hill when school was called off early. It seemed we always got in trouble for staying in the gym during class and all the boys who went to play pool never got caught. When we think of it all, the good times we had, we believed it would go on forever. Now as we look back, the bad times don’t seem so bad, the sad times, so sad. 110 Closing Good bye to all the seniors who are going their separate ways. Each to lead a life of their own. that was partially molded here At Fleming ton High School. Good luck to those still here, may all those dreams become realities. Closing 111 Tomorrow ... it seems like forever A poem without any rhyme Our lives like a leather bound book Whose pages turn one at a time Our thoughts on the pages behind us Our dreams like a sour-sweet wine The chapters that reach out before us Must be lived one at a time. — Pam McCloy 112 Closing
