On opening day, old faces and new blended togeth - er. At first, everything seemed to go on as usual, but there was an underlying current that something great was going to happen. First, it became apparent when students started to shine in their classes. Clubs started early and members got busy raising money and planning activities, he junior class jumped right in and started fund raising activities for the highlight of the year, the junior-senior Prom. Athletics started out with a bang as the girls jumped out to a string of victories. Even the old school building started to perk up as new coats of paint were applied to the hallways. Ever- ything looked great. The brand new things gave the school a super-star look and the students accepted it right off. They began to act like stars, and to take everything on with great effort. The community once again became involved with their school. School dances became fun once again. It was a renewed spirit. The kind of spirit that would make for a fun year. It was time now to shine. Everyth- ing was on course. It was apparent FHS was star- tracked. 4 A good game plan is a important part of any team. Coach Zimmerman puts down the final parts before the game. Above: Forward Ed Smith uses his jump- ing ability to win the toss against South Harrison. Above right: The team wins an- other one by a total of 24 points. The 1980-81 clock favored Flemington a total of 37 out of 42 times. Making super tracks Join S.A.E., F.B.L.A., French Club, Pep Club, any club or sport. Just join something. Every student in this school has their own special place to shine, all you have to do is Find it. There is a place in the sky for every star to shine, and so there is a place at F.H.S. for every student to shine, whether it be on the basket- ball court, with an algebra book, or just being with people. The most important reason for getting involved is to participate with pride in making Flemington High look great to outsiders. Be- cause if they think the school is great, the students must be great too. Above Left: Having bake sales during lunch was just a few activities held by S.A.E. club. Members Allison Harris and Kathy Gray take their turn at the stand. Above: Hard workers make a superstar club. Barbara Layman and Sonya Knotts put their time in for D.C.T. Left: Some members of S.A.E. get together with advisor Pat Walls to discuss trip to Jack- sons Mill. S Without a doubt the stars of any school are its students. Whether on the field or in the classroom, they get the year mov- ing in the right direction. Without a good and active stu- dent body a high school could not function properly. Students do their own thing, which makes for a variety of activities, whether it may be basketball, reading, classwork or just plain hanging out. A Flem- ington student is doing what they want to do. They are making their own star tracks of happy memories that will remain with them for their entire life. Above right: Students get started early in the morning, before the first bell rings. Tom Sheme, Jeff Morris and Steve Law- son, get the day started off by playing basketball. Above: After the work is done in American Studies there is time for fun and relaxation. Right: Making last minute touches on her hair is senior Charmeigne Marks. 6 Left: The library is a good place to talk and catch up on assignments. Juniors, Mi- chael Fragale and Jackie Crouse enjoy the library atmosphere. Below: The desk of authority. These are just some of the interesting things that can be found on Mr. Shields desk.

Below right: Flemington High School stands on top of a hill and that’s where its student body stands, an all -star cast, above all others. A ★ Area job market tight Even though job market at Flemington may be a dog-eat-dog world with the employment of the fittest, students still find a variety of jobs to keep them going. One of the largest student in- dustries is lawnmowing. It's not always an easy job due largely to the hilly terrain. Often a job can bring up to fifteen dollars for one lawn. Other students work on area farms during the summer. Their jobs often include loading hay and stacking hay. Sometimes students can find a secretary job or perhaps a job at one of the fast food chains located in Bridgeport. Whatever the job, students show through their hard work, their stars can still shine during the summer. Above: Senior Pam McCloy enjoys her free time with nature. This peaceful atmo- sphere gives Pam time to collect writing material. Right: Some students help the cooks in the kitchen. Junior Joyce Palmer divides classwork and kitchen work suc- cessfully. 0 Besides school work, many students are involved in after school jobs. Tony Cotrrill delivers papers for the Clarksburg Tele- gram. Many students attend school only half a day and then straight to work. Senior Donna De - laney is one student who keeps this busy schedule. 9 School doesn't have to be all work. Junior Rick Palmer catches up on last night’s sleep during lunch. French Club sponsored a cupcake-a-gram earlier in the year. Donny White seems ready to devour his. Music is an important part of a high school student. Music sets different trends off around school. Students Krista Smith, Kathy Gray and Kelly Ware listen to some popular sounds. 10 Fashion stars jeans Every star has his favorite outfit, and at FHS that outfit is jeans. No matter where you look jeans are everywhere. From the straight - legged look to matching plaid shirt to the cowboy hat, students got it all together. These clothes can be seen in school, at parties, at work or just about anywhere you would find a student. Even on those occasions when it is necessary to look your best, such as on picture day, it is a sure bet that there always is a spare pair of jeans around. Left: Different kinds of tee-shirts can be seen around the school. Allison Harris. Cyndi Stewart and Michael Fragale show just a few. Middle: Following the country and western look is eighth grader Julie VanGilder. Jeans boots, and a cowboy hat is a popular dress style among students.

Below right: Relaxing during gym class is Richard Taylor, as he takes a breather from the action. ★ Sidetracked Many students arrive at school as early as an hour before the first bell rings and have quite a lot of free time. There are many favorite hang-outs within the school but there are two certain spots that are more popular than the others— the library and the gym. The students spend their time studying, doing last night’s assign- ment, or enjoying a friendly game of chess or basketball. In some instances there may be as many as four basketball games going on at one time. Either place is a great place to sit and catch up on the latest. Top left: Watching the action are Doug Rus and Sonya Lipscomb. The balconey is just one the popular hangouts at school. Middle: Before leaving for Grafton, senior Sylvia Cobb finishes an article in her fa- vorite magazine. Above:Martha Lipscomb and Allison Harris, seniors, discuss one of their homework assignments. Left: A lot of exciting action in the gym catches the eye of Cindy Trimble and Deneise Wil- fong. Several students gather in the gym to watch basketball games each morning. U pig-out time other source of food supplies. A quick bag of potato chips between classes provide many with the get up and go that they need. And then there is the rush at lunch time. And still at the end of the day someone will have a candy bar or some other treat saved to tide them over until its time for supper. Top Some students simply go for the junk food as Lisa Bailey munches on a candy bar. A bo ve:Trina Rager hurries through the short lunch period. Right: Waiting for his tray is junior John Victor. Stars have to eat too! Quite of- ten you can find someone happily stuffing his face with snacks, can- dy bars, food from bake sales, and even mashed potatoes.

Senior, Ron Devores clowns around in the morning. 16 ★ Living with a senior Everyone knows what it is like to be a senior, or at least soon will know what it is like. But what is it like to live with a senior? Just ask any parent, younger brother or sister of a senior. For instance, many claim that a senior takes twice as long getting ready in the morning, so that they can have that all important senior look. Then there is the way a senior acts. They have been watching for five long years other senior classes, so that by the time they reach twelth grade they have reached perfection. They know all the ropes now, they know their priveleges. Ah! It’s great to be a senior. Above left: Waiting for the bus is Tammy Luckey. The glimmer of sunshine gives hope for a beautiful day. Below left.

Different types of food kept the guests nibbling all night. 18 Stars coming out On the morning of May 10 ju- niors and seniors began final prep- arations for the Prom. Through all the rush of picking up flowers, tuxedos and being late for hair ap- pointments, everyone seemed to make it on time for the Grand March, held at the community center. The song, All Of My Love, theme for the Prom, started out the festivities. The evening was highlighted with the crowning of the King and Queen, Edith Palmer and Leonard Schorr. Princesses were Karen Williams and Vicki Bowers. 19 Trucks seem to be a favorite vehicle among students. Beth Mazzie prepares to leave in her Chevy truck. It would not be the same without seeing Greg Gregory in his van. Wheels Wheels seem to be one of the average teenagers favorite words. It seems like everyone has them and the ones that don't have them, want them. Wheels are a way to describe freedom and accomplishmnet. Many students spend several hours fixing up their set of wheels so they will be real superstars. ★ Left: Students- vehicles are always lines up on the athletic field.

High school memories always stay with a person. That’s why the memories have to be great to re- member them. After having a super star year and attending a super star school, nothing could be better than memories of those days. Super stardom does not stop after school, it’s just the founda- tion for super things to come. Top A lot of practice is necessary for a super star band as Mark Cottrill and Pual Lambert practice. Middle: A principal col- lects many things through the years, as Mr. Shields shows Donna Delaney. Right: Tammy Luckey reflects on her last year. Above: Seniors can always have fun as Mike Hayes and Brian Chockey show. Sports - star studded The winning tradition of bas- ketball has returned to the Grey- hounds. Both varsity teams com- pleted a star-studded season with spectacular records. However the important part of the story is that both teams are coached by the same man, Greg Zimmerman. Flemington is not the only small school in the state, but chances are not too many others have the same coach for both varsity teams. Coach Zimmerman has performed this duty for the past two seasons. This season he has a combined boys and girls record of 37-5. Coach Zimmerman has been the main ingredient in the turn-around of Flemington athletics. Congratu - lations to the Greyhoundettes, the Greyhounds and their star-stud- ded coach for a terrific season.

Sports Star shooting When the '80 girls' basketball season got underway, there were a lot of high hopes and expectations for the experienced team. These hopes and expectations came true for the Flemington fans as they watched their team com- pile an undefeated 18-0 record, while coasting to most of their victories. The Greyhoundettes won their first three games in an easy fash- ion, by defeating Rowlesburg, R- W and Notre Dame. In these first three games the character of the team was shown. Against Rowlesburg, they showed their capability of blowing a team off the court. In the R-W game, they got in early foul trou- ble, only to pull it all together for the win. The victory over Notre Dame showed their talent. The 'Houndettes did not play well but came away with a 65-37 victory. In the fourth game, the girls proved that they could keep their composure on the road. They de- feated Doddridge County in what was their closest game of the year, 44,-42. After that, The 'Houn- dettes breezed through their schedule, winning the remaining 14 games by 15 points or more. Opposite page: Good passing ability made the Houndettes a super star team.

Above: A strong, fast break was the key for victory in many games. Diana Coltelli scores a lay-up off the break. Aggression was key A well-balanced scoring attack and an aggressive defense seemed to be the backbone of the team. All-state center, Lisa Bailey, aver- aged 21 points and 25 rebounds a game. Diana Coltelli, who aver- aged 14 points a game, showed ballhandling moves essential, in breaking a press. Hot shooting from Penny Williams, with a 10 point average, helped win games all year. Senior playmaker, Jackie Knotts, played consistent, pulling the team together, while forward, Pam McCloy showed an accurate touch with baseline jumpers. A steady sixth player was Cindy Trimble. 25 Regionals halt title hopes The team took its unblemished record into the tournaments and won its third sectional title. They defeated Notre Dame and Rives - ville handily. Controversy surrounded the Regional tourney, as Flemington had to take to the road to play Tyler County High School on Tyler’s home court. Before a packed house, the Houndettes came from behind to take a slim 33-31 edge in the closing minutes before losing their only game dur- ing the ’80 campaign, 48-37. 26 Top: New strategy was the main issue dur- ing this time out.

Jitters build up during bus rides The one thing that always pre- ceded a game was the bus trip it took to get ball players, cheer- leaders, scorekeepers and coaches to wherever they were going. A bus ride may be long, tire- some and cramped, but rarely bor- ing. For the team, armed with tape players, bubblegum and bags of Doritos, the ride was a tense time. Pre-game jitters and occasional butterflies seemed to intensify as the ride progressed. The girls' squad traveled ap- proxiamately 816 miles to its 18 regular season games, and an addi- tional 202 miles to tournaments, which added up to 1,018.

It starts far in advance of the basketball season, in early summer, raising money for uni- forms and camp And if you rhink camp is a barrel of laughs you've got another thing coming. This past summer, varsity cheer- leaders attended the United States Cheerleaders Association camp held at WV Wesleyan College. Up at 7 every morning to the aroma of BenGay wafting through the air. Breakfast at 7:30 and then calis- thenics at 8:15. After that it was stet. Even the evenings were filled with the sounds of cheers. To end the day there was the assembly. Every squad had to go out in the middle of a huge gym floor. After that it was back to the dorms where cheerleaders had just 30 minutes until lights out at 11. Yet all this agony was rewarded as the varisty squads cheered for both girls' and boys' teams during their best seasons in years. It really was a year for stars. As a Greyhound player sinks a foul shot, the cheerleaders and fans show their ap- proval. Above: Super fan, senior Paula Marra, lets everyone know that the Greyhoundettes are number 1. Bottom. During a time out, boys' varsity cheerleaders pep up the crowd with a favorite spirit cheer. 30 Super spectators spur on wins Standing, stomping, screaming and screeching were the four major elements employed by enthused Grey- hound fans as they cheered both varsity teams to their best seasons in years. The stars were not only on the floor, but also in the stands, doing their part in capturing a victory. Screams of delight and dismay could be heard from the cheering crowd as it urged the teams on to victory. Screeches, loud enough to send shivers down a spine, accompanied every opponent's foul shot. The crowds followed the teams to all games, even when it meant hitting the road. With this super star support, the 'Houndettes rolled to a 20-1 season, with the boys claimed an impressive 17-3 record. A great crowd during the year helped to boost athletics to a star-studded season. Top left: Showing the fans that the team is on top, varsity cheerleaders perform. Loud and Clear.

Those two ti- tles came to the Greyhounds in easy fashion. The blue and gold coasted to their first ten victories in a row and was ranked third in the state among Class 'A' teams. Among the first ten triumphs were victories over Central Preston, Rivesville, South Harrison and Bruceton. Winning soon became the trade- mark of the Greyhounds. The team used aggressive de- fense, patient offense, and the ability to run with the ball, to the delight of the fans. Victories rolled in, but they came with good team effort. Jerald Riffle led the team with a 16.1 average and 161 total points through the first half of the season. Senior David Bays was close be- hind with a 15.8 average. Bays showed good hustle and came up with a lot of big plays. Center Son- ny Bailey led the team in rebound- ing with a 14.9 average to counter with his average of 14 points per game. Forward Mark Mazzie aver- age 5 rebounds a game and 13 points. Mazzie came through with a lot of key shots from the base- line. Sophomore Ed Smith pro- vided the extra punch in rebound- ing and scoring, averaging six points a game and 5 rebounds. The Greyhounds showed they were able to come from behind as they did in the Bruceton and Ri- versville games. The ability to get a lead and hold it also showed in games against South Harrison and Coalton. It was all there, all the ingredients needed for a winning team. So far that's just what the Greyhounds did. Flemington fans couldn’t wait for the second half of the exciting star-filled season. Below: Fighting hard for the loose ball is senior Mark Mazzie.

Among the seven wins were im - pressive victories over Pine Grove, Clay-Batteile, Hundred and a sec- ond victory over Central - Preston. The Hounds tasted defeat for the first time as they lost to rival Notre Dame, then came a close loss to Riversville. Another disap- pointing loss to Nortre Dame did not break the winning mold as the I team finished with an impressive 17-3 mark. The Greyhounds also stayed in the top ten among Class 'A' teams in the state. Tournament time rolled around and Flemington drew a tough op- ponent, the number one Class 'A' team in the state, Morgantown St. Francis. The team fought hard all night and lead midway through the third quarter but came up on the short end of a 59-44 score. Top right: Sophomore Jerald Riffle scores two Above: The scoreboard shows it all as the of his 14 points against South Harrison.

Getting ready For the most part junior high and junior varsity basketball arc for young players to gain experience on the court. Improving, learning the game and pressure situations, and running a set offense or defense are just some of the qualities a junior varsity or junior high player learns. Under Coach Tom Reneau the JV's struggled to a 3-12 season, while the junior high team finished with a 2-9 slate. But beyond records the young players learned valuable les- sons that will help them as they go on. That's the important thing about these two teams. These players will be the foundation of Flemington bas- ketball for years to come. There is still a lot of hard work, shooting drills, defense drills, and ball handling to come. Hard work is what it takes to be winners. The young players of junior high and junior varsiry are just get- ting their first taste of winning. 37 A fierce scramble for the ball by junior varsity players resulted in a jump ball. I Junior high players Paul Lambert and Da- vid Vincent go up for a rebound against Grafton. Seventh graders Raymond Bray, Calvin McCloy and Duane Elsey listen for instruc- tions at halftime. 38 Ups, downs, part of experience Locker room rest One of the most enjoyable and memorable times in an athletes life are those moments spent in a lock- er room before, at halftime and after a game. Many emotions are experienced during this time. Ups, downs, happiness, anger and sad- ness. These emotions are all a part of that locker room feeling. Before the game, along with the taping of ankles and lacing of sneakers, there is an excited feeling of knowing what’s expected and realizing that there are 600 people who are going to be watching you do it. At halftime, the team troups back to the locker room for a much needed rest, and a chance for the Coach to revise his defenses and offenses. To all beginnings there must be an end. When the final buzzer rings and the team leaves with happy satisfaction or sad disap- pointment for the locker room, once again more as another game comes to a close.

The school takes pride in provid- ing the best education for its stu- dents,” stated counselor Mrs. Joy Lynch. Every year we try to choose the best courses for our students. A Shining Star along with sports, clubs and activities must also shine in the academic field. The future looks bright for academics at FHS.

Below right: A Singer unit consists of a filmstrip and a cassettte tape giving directions to the stu- dents. An eighth grade student prepares the biscuits according to the directions. Job head start With more and more emphasis on find- ing jobs for high school students, Taylor County got a head start by providing ju- nior high students with ' hands-on” exper- ience by using the Singer units. Located in Miss Sue Ann Ielapi's room, eighth graders lay bricks, mix biscuits, and repair small engines, among other jobs, in hopes of finding career preferences. But it is much more than that. Students are introduced to various careers and their expectations. With all these early prepara- tions, students are sure to be on the right track to a great future. � i 44 Year of the big check Check it out Every seven years or so, schools in West Virginia can be evaluated by the North Central Association. The school itself put on a fresh coat of paint, and the teachers busied themselves with evaluation forms and questionaires. Even stu- dents were involved in the prep- aration as some students answered questionaires themselves. All was in ready for the team to come. It was the year of the BIG CHECK.

Many students from Flemington learn a salable trade before leaving school. Gore and Grafton have been a big help in training students before leaving high school. A strong be- lief among students and parents is that to face the world without training for a job, is a waste when these vocational schools are sitting in our laps. Look over every class before you decide on the one. Make sure that you will enjoy this type of vocation. Top Right: Getting gooey is Vickie Wise- man making a paper mache basketball player.

With classes being offered at the United Career center and the Taylor County Vocational Center as well the high school, students at Flemington have a large variety of opportunities. Not only to learn a skill or trade but to learn some- thing that may help you after you graduate. Sewing, designing, writing and experimenting are a few of the nu- merous activities pursued by stu- Juniors Regina Smith and Jackie Crouse check over an assignment in Drafting.

Therefore the attitude toward these classes is good, and it is something that a student is inter- ested in. This fact also helps the teachers because they are teaching interest- ed students what they want to learn. This provides for a all-star education. 47 Brighter stars Students at Flemington are right on track with a hunger for learning and a will to be the best at what they are doing. Because all the students are stars and can be nothing but the best. With the help of teachers and friends, and not to mention par- ents, the students will grow to be- come bigger and brighter stars; to go out into the world and shine for all to see.

Using a gentle touch, senior Cindy Fast completes her chemistry class experiment. 49 Can education be fun? Along with the everday hum- drum of studying and homework students at Flemington High also get to enjoy themselves while they learn. In Home He class students learn to cook and afterwards get to eat what they learned to make. In Driver's Ed students enjoy taking a drive through Bridgeport and learning how to control a car through traffic. So you can see it doesn't have to be boring to get a good education. Helping Home Ec teacher Beverly Work- man is mother Susan Saltis, teaching Patri- cia Ross and Willa Sheme how to sew. A Holiday dinner prepared by the senior high Home Ec class was enjoyed by teach- ers and students alike. Kelly Duncan and Penny Parks are carving the turkey. Driver's Ed isn't only educational it's a lot of fun. Senior Penny Parks is going for a spin without Mr. Findley. SO Students help clubs to shine Even though there are not as many clubs at Flemington High School as there may be at other schools, stu- dents tend to look upon their clubs with pride. With every care wash, a bake sale, or other fund raisers, the support is super. That’s what makes the clubs so super; interested students with super activities that shine. The band performs for the Taylor County senior citizens at Grafton. Geoff Marshall and Mike Saltis awaits the start of the concert. Below: Freshmen Kelly Ware and Tish Marra start out their cupcake -a -gram. Over S200 was made in this French club venture. Organizations FHA forsees a fine future FHA was one organization that saw its star rising with an increase in membership and activities. Mrs. Beverly Workman, a former teacher at the Taylor County Vocational Center and now home economics instructor, was the adviser of this active club. Perhaps one of the more noticeable events held by this club was the faculty Thanksgiving Banquet pre- sented by FHA members.

What were they? Aliens? Of course not! They were French club members delivering cupcakes. It was the third annual French club cupcake sale. Among those who dressed up were a hobo, army personnel, a gypsy, a Zombie and several indistinguishable creatures. The cupcakes were taken the week before so that all could be ready for Trick-or-Treat. Those strange creatures are gone now and so are the cupcakes, but never fear, maybe you’ll see them next year.

New course offering opens career goals There is something new at FHS this year. It is called Diversified Cooperative Training. The object of DCT is to find out what occu - pational field a student is interest- ed in and to teach the student to work toward his career goals. The first year is spent learning basic skills needed to get along in the world of work. The second year is for on-the-job training in the stu- dents' chosen Field. Another popular club is HERO, or Home Economics Related Oc- cupations, and is designed for stu- dents whose future is in food ser- vice or child care.

Senior Geoff Marshall pays close attention during VICA meeting. a VICA activities great If a student attends one of the vocational schools and belong to a club, he has something that non- vocational students don't have—a chance to meet new and exciting people from other schools. If the club is VICA, there is also a chance to get involved with the school and community affairs. For example, the VICA members at UCC made Christmas baskets for needy people, sold fruit and par- ticipated in the Skill Olympics. From the way things look now, and from the view point of the members, it looks like VICA will be a Very Interest Club . . . Always. VICA members were: Row I- Mike Brown.

As members of the yearbook staff. Journalism stu- dents must learn to have patience, to accept critisism and to be ready to do everything over if it isn r right. It takes a very dedicated and loyal student to rewrite a story for the fourth time and not to show his feelings. A student who enjoys writing or has talent for artistic design couldn f find a better place to put his creativity to work than on the yearbook staff It also gives that student an all star feel- ing to see the story he has worked so hard on finally appear in print.

Vo-ed becomes trend Educational trends are moving more and more toward vocational education. There are presently several ju- niors, seniors, and some sopho- mores choosing, as electives, the two career centers. At the county center many stu - dents are enrolled in welding, ag. mechanics, machine shop and nursing. The United Career Center at Gore is picking up enrollement in drafting, electronics, air condition- ing and business and office. A part of being enrolled in a vo- tech school is the option to join one of the vocational clubs which provides the leadership necessary to make Flemington students star shine brightly. Participating in the VICA meeting are of- ficers Penny Williams and Greg Gregory. 62 Displaying his talent is junior John Victor who won third place for commercial art at the VICA skill Olympics.

Could we have the SAE mem- bers over here?” Tall people in the back, shorter people in the front. Does this sound familar? , Once a year complete chaos reigns for an entire day as clubs try to get the best possible place and position for their pictures. Sched ules are turned around, students are everywhere and yet, through all the confusion the pictures do get taken. But on the sidelines there are always a few show- offs and fun times. It's all a part of this hectic, confusing day. Top right: It's hard ro be serious when club pictures are taken.

Many teachers at the school live in Morgan- town, Buchannon and Philippi and spend up to an hour on the road getting to and from school. While this may be relaxing on a bright spring day, when winter hits and ice and snow covers the road, the trip can often take as long as two hours. Despite this obstacle, many still choose Flemington as the school they like to teach at, and often prefer teaching at.

Great in their own right, they support the school and all that it stands for. They are in the clubs, pitching right in there to make sure it is great, they are in the sports, learn- ing the ropes so that they to will be able to take over. Underclassmen fol- low every activity with a watchful eye, knowing that someday soon, it will all be theirs. Eighth grader. Mark Hill kicks around a bas- ketball between classes. Junior Roger Glaspell works on an assign- ment during class. Hard work is a sure sign of an underclassman. One of the students gets down to business and reads his assignment. Underclassmen Vocational education provides key Juniors make tracks into job market A few juniors elected not to attend a vocational center. Cindy Elsey and Cindy Trimble work during journalism class. Flemington High School believes that every student should have a sal- able skill by the time they leave high school, stated Mrs. Joy R. Lynch, counselor. Maybe that's why 33 out of 41 juniors go to the Taylor County Vocational Center or the United Ca- reer Center. One student replied that she Loves it. Kim Gerard is taking courses in drafting to prepare for col- lege. Another junior. Bo Brown, thinks that shop is interesting,” but he doesn't plan to become a machinist when he finishes school. Sylvia Upton said that Child Care is preparing her for college, where she plans to major in elementary educa- tion and child psychology. Career education, it’s a terrific ex- perience, replied Judy Lipscomb, who is enrolled in the Nurses' Aide program at the Taylor County Center. It's preparing me for a nursing de- gree,” stated Judy, who plans to join the Air Force. Some juniors decided to stay at school to pursue other career goals These students take typing, art, chemistry, accounting, French and journalism to help them plan their career goals.

Biology class was ready for disecting. Greg Marshall and Jerald Riffle inspect some material. Edith Allen George Bailey Demarus Bays Connie Brown Peggy Campbell The big Brian Cleavenger Bob Colebank David Costilow Tina Curtis Trina Elsey cut up Is it really dead? I thought I saw it move! These are a few comments one hears when that funny and some- times dreaded occurence happens - disection. To some girls, a worm or frog is an ugly creature but things get even uglier on the inside. To oth- ers. the day is a lot of fun. One good thing about disec- tion, the animals are dead, unless there is a shortage. Everybody has to start with simething—whether it is an earthworm or a grasshopper, or the ultimate challenge, the frog. Disection is OK, except when Biology comes third period. What do you have next? LUNCH! Well, so much for lunch. There is a serious side to disec- tion. It teaches us the inner work- ings of living organisms. But it still doesn’t prevents one’s face from becoming green. 83 Anne Gallo Buddy Glaspell Mike Greathouse Tom Greathouse Duane Green Sandy Jenkins Tammy Jones Brian Kittle Gary Knotts Steve Lawson Timberly Layman Greg Marshall Beth Mazzie Finally it was time for the sophomores to begin their work.

Jimmy Allen David Ball Debbie Boyd Brad Chocky Tony Cottrill Patty Drummond Lisa Gain Jeff Gray Career choices mark 9th grade Finally, ninth grade. The eight years of reading, writing and arith- matic are over. However, with the freshman status also comes a re- sponsibility—deciding the right combination of classes to help plan a student’s career, whether the plans include vocational studies, college prep or the job market. To aid students in this selection, career exploration devices were started with the freshmen last year. Under the direction and supervi- sion of Mrs. Joy Lynch, guidance counselor, these students were the first to use the Singer Gra-Flex Career Exploration Units, located in Miss SueAnn Ielapi’s room. A trip to both career centers pro- vided more aide to the students. Late during the freshman year, the GATB is administered to help di- rect students toward various voca- tional fields. For freshmen at Flemington, there are five required classes, which include: General Business, American Studies, English, math and science. The General Business class is a new requirement this year for all freshmen, and is offered as a career exploration experience. The remainder of their schedule has room for three electives. Students can choose from a variety of busi- ness, science, math, social studies, art, music, French and journalism courses. 86 Freshmen Mark Gray John Harman Greg Knotts Linda Knotts Terry Knotts Jim Layman Lisa Lindsey Greg Lipscomb Judy Loughran Tish Marra Bobbie Jo McCloy Robert McCoy Clay Parks Ellen Reed Lisa Reed Garry Riffle Typing, one of the many electives that a freshman can choose, provides a skill that will be useful in any career choice.

An eighth grader exper- iences what is called being on the borderline.” The borderline is a line between feeling grown up because you're not a seventh grader, and still feel- ing young because you haven't en- tered high school yet. Being an eighth grader at Flemington can be especially hard. There is no separa- tion of junior and senior high school, therefore an eighth grader feels in the middle. Being together with the senior high can have advantages too, Take junior high basketball, there is always someone around to help you with your game. Surely an older student has had the same classes and once again, he is there to help you out. Eighth grade is tough, but it has its advantages, 91 Melony Allen Tina Ball Raymond Bray Regina Burton Danny Campbell Paul Campbell Gerald Carr Diana Davis Matt Dillon Virginia Drummond k A class, such as Home Economics, can have its advantages, like being able to eat what you cook. Seventh Graders, Chuckie Gobel, Raymond Bray, Pat Whitehair and Duane El- sey, roll out their dough for bus- cuits. Duane Elsey Pat Flemming Randy Fleming Timmy Glaspell Chuckie Gobel Vickie Greathouse John Hardesty Jimmy Hayes Ronnie Knotts David Kyle 92 Cooking favorite in 7th grade ft Richard Mayle Larry Morris Roy Moyer Mike Olivio Mary Parks Lisa Rager It doesn’t make any difference whether the chore is at home or in school—doing dishes is not a fa- vorite among seventh graders in Home-Ec. class. This year, the students are cooking and eating and loving it. They have made several goodies this year, including: pies, pizzas, cookies, candy and buscuits. However, there's always a bad side and for them, it’s doing dishes and cleaning up afterwards. Most of the students in this co- ed class liked it, and all but a small percentage of them would like to take it next year if given the chance. Mrs. Workman, the new teach- er, said that she was unfamilar with teaching junior high but that she enjoyed it. T ' ■ John Starky Tony Stewart Tammy Taylor Stephanie Turnbull Debbie Victor David Vincent Glenn Weaver Billy Williams Donald Wiseman Tina Workman Debbie Wright Debbie Yoak I After the mixing and the baking it’s time to turn around and look at the stack of dirty dishes created by the class. Regina Burton and Diana Davis wash and dry the dishes at the end of the period. 94 Area stores right on track Even though Flemington is a small town, students have available to them some of the largest cities in north central West Virginia to will provide plenty of stores for those school supplies or special Christmas presents. In addition to these stores, re- area include Clarksburg, Bridge- port, Phillippi, Grafton, Fairmont and Morgantown. Advertisements i FARMERS’ DELIGHT CO.

Promises were made in those last months never to for- get and always remember what a great year it was. Soon it would be all behind the senior class, but in their footsteps the juniors were making plans for another great year.
