Flemington High School - Memories Yearbook (Flemington, WV)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1982 volume:

It has been said that it is not the automobile that reflects uniqueness, but the driver be- hind the wheel. This is also true of Flemington High School. This school is more than classrooms, halls and stairways. Beneath the brick exterior lives the true essen- ce— the- students and faculty. Over the years, people have been constantly stereotyping the students. Other schools try and fit this school into a mold, but time and time again the students have shown WE DON'T FIT THE MOLD—WE BREAK IT! This school is not something to be taken lightly. Within these four walls lies a group of spirited individuals, each with dreams, hopes and desires. Top: Taking it easy their way were David Ball, Kim Ross, Mike Brown and Sonya Lipscomb. Center: With a little bit of pride, John Stewart fin- ished his art project. Above: A win- ter scene outside of school shows the beauty of Taylor County. Left: Doing it his way was Mr. Mike With- ers, social studies teacher.

Braving the cold January day were Gary Ross and Tony Cottrill. Right: One way students express them- selves is through music. FHS has been recognized as having one of the finest bands in the region. 2 P This school is very differ- ent and a lot better for it. We have a very personalized school—a lot of close rela- tionships, stated senior Bill Shelton. This is why we don't fit the mold others try to cast us in. This is the image students wish to create and keep for themselves and for their school. Instead of criticisms and jumping to conclusions, let those look closer. Let them notice the good qualities of this school, its students and faculty. Mr. Robert Shields, princi- pal best explained it, There is a closeness with the com- munity, teachers, Board of Education and administra- tion. The mold and the image that appears stereotyped has been misconstrued. From our four walls come doctors, law- yers, school teachers, engi- neers, physical therapists, bank presidents and many more in the professional and working field. The reason for our success at FHS is the closeness and togetherness that we receive from the guidance of our administra- tion and faculty. In essence, you might just say that we are a family. Above: A lot of students have a spe- cial place where they can go and think things out. Marian Loughran has her own place close to her house. Left: Most students who at- tend Flemington High come from a rural setting much like this one out- side of Flemington. 3 Top: Stuffed animals continue to be popular even as a girl grows up. Re- gina Smith, senior, posed with a furry friend. Center left: Grades always become an important topic as the marking period rolls around. Mr. Guy Costello checked grades for ju- nior, Chris Willis. Center right: At one of the first marching perfor- mances, the band lined up at the Buckwheat Festival. Right: It's time for another morning of school as Terry Palmer, senior spent some last minutes outside. Far Right: Karen Sheme, sophomore, needed some help to finish a French class assign- ment. 4 Flemington High School may be just another small school in West Virginia to some people, but to the stu- dents of the school it's a spe- cial place in its own way. We may be small, but we stick up for each other, said Cindy Trimble. All the teachers are easy to get along with, they take time for you, said junior Greg Marshall. There are just a few reasons why the students think they are spacial and have things better in a small school. When you have a combina- tion of our teachers with the students, everybody has a re- laxed feeling about them. It makes it a lot easier in the classroom too, as well as coming to school, contends senior Joe Petroff. If you were ever to walk into the school, the feeling hits you in a second. The feeling that tells everyone that Flemington is different, that we do break the mold. Students know what to expect out of each other and they don't expect more. It's a nice feeling around here, said Miss Carol Flouhouse. Top: Clowning off in the halls were seniors, Joe Pernell, Jackie Crouse, Michael Fragale and Jon Loughlin. Above: Taking a break between classes were students, Rick Palmer, Rosie Palmer, Mike Brown, Mike Greathouse, Joey Ball and Jeff Vin- cent.

I thought it was a very ex- quisite Prom ... it had a very romantic atmosphere, ever- ything went smooth, com- mented Doug Rus, senior. Indeed the Prom was ex- quisite. Blue and silver deco- rations adorned the ceiling and walls. A silver stairway to heaven with white clouds highlighted the dance floor. Guests danced to We've Got Tonight ' the Prom's theme song, performed by Pipe Dreams. The total effort was summed up by Barbara Layman. Everything went the way we wanted it to. To support the Prom, ju- niors sold magazines and re- cords. Car washes and a raffle also helped the cause. The dance was held at the Flem- ington Community Building on May 8. Junior Beth Mazzie summed up all the hard work. It was a good Prom ... it was very organized.

Center left: Trying to stuff all your stuff into one of the smaller lockers is no easy task as Steve Gallo demonstrates. Center right: Some students take a great deal of time trying to make their locker homey. Here is a locker with a message. Right: Perhaps this poster sums it up best. To try to make a locker neat, it takes a lot of monkeying around. 8 HOMS AW y PdOM HOMS Where is that one place at school that is considered sa- cred? As the saying goes, A place for everything and everything in its place. This could only be a description for a locker. Untold treasures have been found laying at the bot- tom of a locker. That lost li- brary book from November or the cheese sandwich from September can often be found there. Some people of course do not treat their lockers like that. Instead an avalanche greets them everytime the door is opened. Still others keep signs in their lockers to remind them of their latest love or simply some funny slogans of the day. Some students claim that keeping a messy locker makes them feel right at home. I know where to find everything —on the floor, said one anonymous student. Some believe keeping a clean locker is a waste of time. When you clean it, it just gets messy again, said seventh grader, Crystal Bar- ney. At the end of the year, however, comes a day long job—cleaning out the locker. And in some cases it is a whole day— and more.

Talking to friends. Playing ball in the gym. All of these are activities that make up a typi- cal day. But what would a stranger see? A series of bells, that are confusing even to veteran teachers on opening day. A relaxed atmosphere where students are able to be them- selves. A school set among the hills of Taylor County, thus giving it the family” at- mosphere we hear so much about. Attending FHS is all of this and more. It is pride in our work and our friends. This is all a typical day at FHS. For Jon Loughlin, learning something new is part of a typical day. Eighth grader Regina Bur- ton said a typical day is Be- ing with friends and talking. I remember being carried up the stairs by Bill Shelton and Terry Riffle against my will, said Lisa Lindsey. Karen Sheme also remembered the stairs-falling down them. Freshman Stephanie West- fall and Barbara Sandy like being with their friends and goofing around. Top: Enjoying one of the 'Houdettes games was Mike Grathouse. Above: Sharing the same opinion, that FHS is number one were Karen Sheme and Mark Cottrill. Left: Getting down to Physics were Mr. Hooper and Cindy Elsey. n Getting into it! What do pets and a Rubic's Cube have in common? These are both two things that take up a great deal of a student's time, both in and out of school. . Pets seem to be a popular pasttime with many students. Some pets range from the common to the exotic. Many students have dogs or cats, some horses, but how many people do you know have ex- otic birds such as peacocks. Senior Sonya Knotts does, plus many other types of birds. Many students have farm animals to care for and this takes up much of their out- side time. On the calmer side, many students take up their time by listening to the radio. I listen to my stereo, it gets me away from reality, said Amy Guynn. A popular sport at school that fills in the afternoon lunchtime gap is a game of friendly football. Working the Rubik's Cube is a hit with many students. For some a cube brings many hours of enjoyment, others 30 seconds of agony. Top left: The kick-off starts right after lunch. Top Right: The Rubik's Cube gang gets together to com- pare their styles. Bottom Left: Ra- dios often accompany students to school. Jeff Morris listens to a tape.

Bottom left: One of the most unusual pets has to be those of Sonya Knotts. Here are her peacocks. 13 Catch the fever! WBOY Channel 12 news dirrector Bob Fulton visited the school in early March to talk about the weather and its various changes in north- central West Virginia. Students in Mrs. Pat Walls English classes got to ask the newsman many different questions about the weather, as well as the operation of a TV station. I thought the talk was in- teresting. I never knew just how weather predicting worked, said Mark Cottrill. Getting involved with the community is a project that Flemington students have done well for years. People like Bob Fulton add to the success of community in- volvement, but students play a vital part also. The new special education building beside the school was built by Flemington and Grafton students taking building construction class at the Taylor County Vocational Center. The important aspect of this, is that actual students received a chance to help their community and school. The building will serve as a big help to the school in the years to come, commented special education teacher Mr. Jerome Octave. Community involvement is special . . . Catch the Fever! Top: The special education building was constructed by area students who attend TCVC. Bottom: Pride was one of the important parts in the daily life at school. Right: Bob Fulton explained the weather with the help of a map. Top: Taking notes in class is always time-consuming for these West Vir- ginia History students. The school al- ways produces winners in the Gold- en Horseshoe contest sponsored state-wide. Finalists this year were: Regina Burton, Duane Elsey, Mike Olivio and Stephanie Turnbull.

Center: Breaking the Coalton zone defense was sophomore Kim Ross, who averaged six points a game for the season. Right: Administration relationships with parents is an im- portant part of a good team. Mr. Shields discussed the 61-24 loss to Coalton. 16 Rebuilding a skyscraper The 1981 Girls' basket- ball season began a new era in the program. Gone were the 17-1 and 20-1 seasons. In came the 2-17 season. Gone were the experienced all- staters. In was a new crop of young inexperienced players and a new coach, hopeful of a winning sea- son. Students were not used to seeing the team lose or to have so many new play- ers. However, with these changes came some bright spots that will lead to a new foundation. Leading the way in the attack were senior Cindy Trimble and sophomore Bobbie Jo McCloy, both averaging eight points per game. Guards Kim Ross and Twyla Edwards, aver- aging five and six points, learned while playing against some fine guards. Vickie Wiseman now knows what it is like to go up for a rebound. Sylvia Upton provided the steady play for the team. Ready to fill the gap were players: Linda Knotts, Lisa Vincent, Kim Turnbull, Kelly Ware, Julie Vangilder, and Cheryl Palmer. These players know what they have to do next year. Drawing the foul from a Coalton de- fender was Cindy Trimble. Center: Cindy Trimble made a sound bounce pass to Bobbie Jo McCloy. The fans and cheerleaders watch as the team tried to make a comeback. 17 Building on the basics Basketball is a chal- lenge to me, I like com- peting, said sophomore Kelly Ware. Why do they go through the two hour practices and the sore muscles? Because I like repre- senting my school and winning for it, said Twyla Edwards. Basketball is my life, responded center, Bobbie Jo McCloy. Guard Kim Ross agreed and added, I love basketball. To me it's well worth the effort. I just love to play. This year we learned a lot and gained playing time. Next year the team will be tough. I only wish I was a part of it, said sen- ior Sylvia Upton. Cindy Trimble, senior, felt posi- tive about next season for her teammates. They now know what it's like to win and they know it feels a lot better than losing. First year head coach, Mike Carey, looked back on the season: We had to teach the basics and once we learned them, we started to play better. I'm sure we will be ready to go in September. Above: The '81 Houndettes were: Twyla Edwards, Lisa Vincent, Kim Ross, Kelly Ware, Julie VanGilder, Bobbie Jo McCloy, Vickie Wiseman, Linda Knotts, Kim Turnbull, Cheryl Palmer, Coach Mike Carey.

The Greyhounds listen intently to Coach Zimmerman. Above: Listening closely to Coach Zimmerman's instructions, senior guard Jim Oliverio goes on to have a fine floor game as the Greyhounds defeated Notre Dame 54-50. Right: After stealing a cross court pass in the second quarter,junior guard Jer- ald Riffle goes the length of the floor for a layup while center Sonny Baily provides backup support. 20 Tradition carried on One of the hardest things to do after coming off an im- pressive 17-4 season, is to re- peat that success again the following year. That's what the Greyhounds did as they finished with a 17-3 slate. Things didn't start out in winning fashion as the 'Hounds dropped their first two games. However winning streaks of seven and ten games established the Grey- hounds once again in the Class 'A' ratings. Leading the Greyhound at- tack were juniors Sonny Bai- ley and Jerald Riffle. The two all-staters provided good floor leadership and led the 'Hounds in scoring. Forwards Doug Rus and Ed Smith ad- ded some extra scoring punch and played vital roles on the rebounding boards. New addittion Jim Oliverio closed out the starting five. A winning team cannot have success without the help of reserve players. Bob Colebank, Tom Sheme, Brian Cleavenger, Roy Reed, Mike Saltis, Gary Knotts and Brian Kittle did an excellent job. They came through when we needed them, said Zimmer- man. Above: The Greyhounds led at the half 36-16. They have no trouble get- ting fired up for the second half as they improved their mark to 6-2 in the young season. Far left: Junior forward Ed Smith goes up for two of his six points as FHS downed Hun- dred 63-33. Left: A baseline move past two defenders gives Bob Cole- bank an open layout. Ya gotta love it! Why do people go out for basketball? You really learn a lot and you get to know other play- ers from different schools. said junior Steve Lawson. From November to March, basketball players travel to and from practice every day, trying to improve and to get ready for game situations. However, what is their driv- ing force? Their motivation? I enjoy all sports, I like to be active, said senior Doug Rus. I love playing in the games, it's a challenge to compete, added Roy Reed. Other players on the 17-3 team play for more reasons than just the fun of it. I al- ways want to get better and improve my game. Our team goal is to go to the state tour- nament, said all-stater Son- ny Bailey. Basketball gives me a chance to keep in shape. We had a super season, next year will be better, contends ju- nior Tom Sheme. The past two seasons the Greyhounds have a com- bined record of 34-6. We had high goals this year and we reached them Next year ought to be terrif- ic! said Bob Colebank. Above: Leading by thirty over Hun- dred provided valuable playing time for the Greyhound substitutions. Here Coach Zimmerman sets the of- fensive play during a time-out.

Junior high basketball will get us ready for varsity action. All of us are looking forward to it, said eighth grader Da- vid Vincent. Basketball takes my mind off things so I can relax. I like winning, adds Calvin McCloy. With the help of JV coach Mike Carey and junior high coach Tom Reneau, young players at Flemington are get- ting their first taste for the fu- ture. Personal Sports Sports goes far beyond the usual basketball, baseball and football. Students enjoy oth- er special interests like checkers, weightlifting and chess to name just a few. Chess is a challenging game, you got to be thinking all the time, contends Bill Shelton. The basketball players work on weights to get stron- ger while our leaper machine builds on their jumping abili- ty, said Coach Greg Zim- merman. Above: Needing a quick two points in the junior varsity game against South Harrison, the JV's set up for the upcoming jump ball. Top: Mem- bers of the junior Varsity squad were: David Furbee, Paul Lambert, Tony Cottrill, Lonnie Colebank, Tim Spencer, Dave Corby, Mark Cottrill, and Robert Lipscomb. Coach was Mike Carey.

Coach was Tom Reneau. 24 Top: Sports is not only basketball at FHS. There are a lot personal sports around the school that students en- joy. Jeanette Starkey and Juanita Du- ley start another lunch period with a game of checkers. Above: On the new leaper machine, Jerald Riffle strengthens his jumping ability for the upcoming season.

Above: Cheering the Greyhounds onto victory during the Hundred game were Kim Ross and Tish Marra. Right: Cheerleaders for the varsity this year were Tish Marra, Lisa Reed, Lisa Lindseym captain, Kim Ross, Krista Smith, and Karen Sheme. 26 We've got the spirit! They stand along the side- lines with one eye on the game and the other on the crowd. They are known for having some of the biggest mouths in school. Rightly so, these people are cheer- leaders and their job is at the same time hard and fun. By the end of the season they know the plays as well as the players do. They can get you to just about any small school within the region. They are also experts on how to take a nap on the bus. Why do these girls go through this job? What do they get out of it? Most will agree that they cheer because they are inter- ested in basketball. They all feel that they play an impor- tant part during the season. Often they are the only ones from the school when the team take on a far away school. Aside from this many amusing things can also hap- pen to cheerleaders. Perhaps the most embarassing is for- getting a floor cheer. At the end of the season, the cheerleaders regretfully stop. But soon, they begin making preparations for the next year. Top left: Junior Varsity cheerleaders were: Lisa Vincent, Janine Clea- venger, Vickie Wiseman and Tammy Moore. Bottom Left: Junior High cheerleaders were: Patricia Ross, Crystal Barney, Denise Upton, Tina Ball, Regina Burton and Debbie Vic- tor. Above: Waiting for the game to resume were cheerleaders Karen Sheme, Lisa Lindsey and Krista Smith. 27 Being respected Key to Principal He is very friendly and it's easy to respect him, replied Lisa Lindsey, in regards to principal, Mr. Robert Shields. Mr. Shields is constantly on the move, making sure ever- ything is running smoothly. He will be missed a lot when I graduate, said Cindy Elsey. 28 Principal Robert L. Shields is on top of al- most everything that happens at FHS. In his fifteen years as principal, few things have hap- pened that he doesn't know about. Before becoming principal Mr. Shields was basketball coach. He has been at FHS since 1954, a total of 28 years. Right: At every home game, Mr. Shields can be seen intently watching the Greyhounds' performance. Left: No matter who you are, when you enter Mr. Shields' office, you're greeted with one of his warm smiles. Painting, sculpting appreciated in art In Mrs. Donna Jo Hause's Art class, students participate in a variety of Art oriented ac- tivities ranging from basic drawing to painting to sculpt- ing. Senior Sylvia Upton said, I think Mrs. Hause is a good teacher but we don't have suf- ficient Art supplies. We have a good teacher, agreed Kim Turnbull, who said sculpting and painting were two things she likes to do best in class. Mrs. Donna Jo Hause has been at FHS for three years. Mrs. Hause is qualified to teach grades K-12. She majored in Art at FSC. She picked art because it is what I am best in. Teaching art is fun she continued. Most of the students like art. Top: The craft project in Art class kept sophomore student Kim Turnbull busy. Left: Three students work on a large canvas for class. Right: Mrs. Hause explains the project to class. 29 Jean Burton gets down to business There is one room in school that really gets down to iness. Mrs. Jean Burton is the teach- er and everyday the students work on accounting, typing and a variety of business courses. You learn things you can use after you get out of school, said Cheryl Palmer, Business Math student. Most students voice the same opin- ion. Other students enrolled in typing classes claim it is one subject they can use after school and . . . is useful in finding a job, added Demarus Bays. 30 Mrs. Jean Burton has taught at FHS for thir- ty-three years. Mrs. Burton has an AB in Math from Salem and a Masters degree in Vocation- al Technical Education from Marshall. She said the challenge of business education appealed to her. We have a school of good students, she said when asked for her feelings about FHS. 3 % Left: Putting in overtime to finish his typing assignment is Mark Hill, freshman. Right: Getting things straight- ened out in typing class is Mrs. Jean Burton and fresh- man, Robert Lipscomb. Counseling is never-ending job Who is there when you al- ways need her? Mrs. Joy Lynch, Guidance Counselor, has a difficult task, but handles it with apparent ease. Even though she's always busy with counseling and scheduling, Stephanie Turnbull said, I like her because she is a great help in deciding which classes to take. Both Louise Everson and Jennette Starkey, 7th graders, said she was a big help to them their first year here. I like the close family atmosphere here. Students are the most important part of my job, said Mrs. Joy Lynch, guidance counsel- or. Besides counseling, she teaches pre-voc. studies and also teaches at the graduate level. She attended WVU where she earned a de- gree in counseling and an advanced degree in administration. Left: Arranging schedules and colleges for students are not that easy. Mrs. Lynch makes arrangements on the phone. Right: It could be called clowning off, as Mrs. Lynch and friends celebrate Halloween. 31 Tackling the roads part of Driver's Ed. Tackling the county roads and mountains of West Virgin- ia is a more difficult task than one might think. Students get a first rate view of the roads in Mr. Mike Carey's Driver's Ed. class. After six weeks of book work, the students start driv- ing in one of thier two cars. I like going out to drive, it's a different change of pace ' said senior Jackie Crouse. Mi- chael Fragale agreed adding, I like driving different cars and seeing how they perform. 32 In his first year at FHS, Mr. Mike Carey has kept himself busy teaching Driver's Ed. and the new Pre-Vocational class. He also divides his time between basketball jobs as Girls' and JV coach and Varsity assistant. This page, Left: Buckling up for safety is Terry Riffle. Right: Mr. Carey goes over Health notes.

People appeal Key to English If you walk pass the English classes, it is likely you will hear a wide range of topics: reading a short story; diagramming sentences; writing an essay; preparing a speech; writing a news story. Mr. Guy Costello, Miss Mary Ellen Paugh and Mrs. Pat Walls are the teachers who offer this variety. Stephanie Westfall likes English because there is a vari- ety of stories. Speech and Dra- ma, a new class, gained praise from its students. Rose Palmer explained, It brought me closer to people in class and helps me relate to them. Mr. Guy Costello holds a masters degree in English and Social Studies and has been teach- ing at FHA for nine years. Mr. Costello trained at Salem college and WVU. He explained that he likes working with young people I and that is what makes his job special. He also said he liked working in a small school because of closer contact with the students. Mrs. Patricia Walls has been teaching at FHS since 1970. She teaches 7-12 English, and American Stud- ies. She holds a masters degree in secondary education from WVU. One reason she gives for teaching English is because she enjoys reading herself. French class is cultural experience If you want to have fun, join French, were the words of advice from Karen Sheme, sophomore. The students in French class have been known to learn hundreds of French words as well as speaking it. French class isn't only speaking French. The students learn about French culture through slide shows and the magazines Bonjour and Ca Va. Barbi Sandy stated this will probably help her if she went to France. Lorna Vincent said this was her favorite because she got “A“s on the tests. 34 “I want them to appreciate the culture and language of foreign countries, stated Miss Mary Ellen Paugh on her feelings toward French class. She is a graduate of Fairmont State and holds a double major in Journalism and French. She also holds a Language Arts Specialization. She has been teaching six years at FHS. Top: Enjoying a cultural experience are Janine Clea- venger, Tammy Moore and Stephanie Westfall. Left: Clutching her French book is first year student, Lorna Vincent. Right: Kelly Ware practices her French during class. Coping everyday purpose of Home Ec Home Economics and Adult Roles are two important classes dealing with everyday life. Judy Mullenax, Home Ec student, commented, It's a good experience. I like cook- ing and sewing. Barbara Lay- man agreed, adding, Mrs. Workman is a very good teacher. Adult Roles, a new class, is also popular. This class helps students learn about them- selves, by studying those things helpful in adult life. I like my job knowing there are students that I can help and for what they can teach me, expressed Mrs. Beverly Workman, teacher for two years.

At least sometime during the week, every student will wind up in there, some for an assignment, but for many, just to hang around. Mrs. Bette Garrett, librarian, instructed seventh grade on using the library for enjoy- ment and reference. Tammy Gaines, seventh grader, summed it up best, I like it because I get to read in my spare time. 36 I've worked a lot at updating the books for the students and I feel that students are using the library and the books much more, said Mrs. Bette Garrett, librarian. A graduate of WV Wesleyan and WVU, Mrs. Garrett holds a degree in sociology and a masters in library science.

When you learn your part, you are pointed out and it makes you feel good! exclaimed sophomore Judy Loughran on her experiences in Band class. Students interested in the subject of music can have an inspiring start in Mrs. Peggy Agnor's music classes and Mr. Phillip Rossano's Band classes. In these classes they study mu- sic, history, culture and sing- ing. Band is offered to both ju- nior and senior high students. Mr. Phillip J. Rosanno selected his field in teaching because it was easy for him and fun. Mr. Rosanno has been teaching band and in- strumental music for five years at FHS. He attended FSC and stated that kids is what makes his job special. Mrs. Peggy Agnor stat- ed that I taught music so I could give others the chance to enjoy different modes of music. She attended WVU and majored in music education. She teaches seventh and eighth grade general music. She also added that the students were very fank and let it known what they like and don't like. Building up program part of coach's plan Seventh and eighth grade students learned to divide their time between Phys. Ed. and Health classes. While in P.E. class the stu- dents take on a wide range of chores that get them into shape. Whether it be soccer or dodge ball or basketball, the students are always active. “Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Carey always have us doing different things, said eighth grader, Raymond Bray. Mike Olivio and Teena Sau- cer both enjoy Health because of the range of topics dis- cussed. “We also see lots of good films, added Teena. “Working with young people and building a successful basketball program is what Phys. Ed. and Health teacher Mr. Greg Zimmerman enjoys about his job. He has taught three years and enjoys the school for its closeness.

Cherie Gray agreed, and stated she thought Mrs. Dier- inger was nice. “A good teach- er makes all the difference, she added. The reading class is open for seventh, eighth and ninth grade students. 40 Giving the students reading below the grade level the opportunity to increase their vocabulary and reading comprehension, is what Mrs. Sue Ann Dieringer strives for in her reading classes. Mrs. Dierienger is a gra- duate of Fairmont state and is presently get- ting her masters in Reading from WVU. Top: The seventh graders go over their special reading assignments in Mrs. Dieringer's room. Left: Working on an assignment is seventh grader Ricky McGee as Mary McGill reads a book.

Freshman student, Twyla Edwards expressed her class interest by stating, “It's fun to study about history. 42 Mr. Mike Withers, a teacher of 13 years at FHS expressed his idea of what is special about his job by saying, I think the answer to most of America's problems lies within its educa- tion of its citizens.

Mrs. Sandy Bellotte's and Mr. Jerome Octave's Special Education classes are impor- tant to them and to the stu- dents they help. These classes teach the basics of reading, English, math and social stud- ies. Margie Peters, senior, stated she enjoyed English more than any other part of her classes. Vicki Taylor, ninth grader, said the films were her personal fa- vorite. Roberta Moore feels she will be able to use what she had learned in special education later in her life. Being able to know that the students can accomplish or pass a class that they've failed is what Mrs. Sandy Bellotte, first year Learning disabilities teacher, feels about her job.

In prevocational classes, stu- dents get to experience what it's like to be in a vocational school without leaving FHS. They get to take a hand in car- pentry, small engines repair, bricklaying, architecture and advertising plus a variety of other subjects. In Mrs. Workman's class they did surveys and prepared menus. In Mrs. Burton's class, students wrote commercials and advertisements. Checker boards and architectural de- sign were some of the high- lights of Mr. Carey's class. Stu- dents worked on the Singer units under Mrs. Lynch super- vision. Lisa Vincent, freshman, stat- ed It's teaching us how to prepare ourselves for the fu- ture. Career plans, college ... Advanced students can elect to go to the Taylor County Vocational Center or the United Career Center. 44 Behind the scenes service keeps going The service personnel keep the school going.

Those are just some of the remarks from yearbook staff members. Everyone thinks the yearbook is writing sto- ries and looking at pictures. Learning layouts, becoming more aware of the press sys- tem and accepting responsi- bility are other happenings that take place in the class. Each student has their own speciality. Terry Riffle likes to write stories. Deneisc Wil- fong is interested in creating layouts. Connie Brown en- joys the pressure of meeting the deadline. She said, Ever- ything is rushed but it gives the students a challenge to take on, a mountain to climb, When I walk into the room there is a different feel- ing about me. I feel more comfortable and relaxed I guess it's because we all get along so well, it's like a fam- ily. stated Tarina Swiger. Journalism instructor Miss Mary Ellen Paugh likes to cre- ate the relaxed image. It is something that works out very well. Each student knows their job and what is expected out of them. If you like to write, work with your hands and create new things, then you will be a successful candidate for the yearbook.

Going steady Going steady is the highlight of high school and what goes better with steadies than class rings and dates, both which come about in the junior year. Most juniors rccieve their class rings their junior year, but how long do they keep them? Gary Knotts stated, I had mine less than a day. I had mine for just about a week, said Krista Smith. Of course after going steady, the driver's license comes next. That will lead up to the next great junior ritual; taking a girl on the first date. Rings and cars do go together. 74 Tom Greathouse Dwayne Green Amy Guynn Steve Highland Sandy Jenkins Cindy Jones Tammy Jones Barry Kisner Brian Kittle Gary Knotts Steve Lawson Timberly Layman Opposite page: Left: Making sure everything is in place before the start of class is Tammy Jones.

Howev- er, school can be fun. Where else can you find such great friends to laugh with or teachers to share a good joke. How many times can you walk down a hall seeing ev- eryone you know talking and smiling? I like to come to school to talk and see my friends, commented Cheryl Palmer.

No matter what it is, when- ever there's a chance to grab a free minute or a quick laugh, sophomores take ad- vantage of it. To them friends, fun and laughter are fine and they're gonna' enjoy it.

We're allowed to use some calculating machines now, commented Dave Gorby. The freshman class is learn- ing more about responsibility each day.

After work there is usually a time to relax and en- joy free time. You can bet they love to talk to one another as all stu- dents do. But some would rather finish their work or sit and listen to others talk.

And now the seventh graders can sigh with relief because their first year of school is finished and they can smile at last. They finally made it. 91 Mary McGill Timmy McGee Everette McKinney Roberta Moore Dora Holliday Wayne Palmer Oakey Peters Shawna Pyle Wayne Queen Arlie Riffle Daydreaming School is fine, but each and every class you find a dreamer. You can always tell a dreamer, they have that far away look that makes you wish you know what they were thinking and just what it is they are really wanting to do. I think about riding my motorcycle after school . . . and girls, said Todd Blake. Terry Cavallier adds, I just wish it was time for school to be out.

However, those funny times are not remembered after graduation alone. Many students can remember fun- ny times right now. One day Mr. Costello told the class that he missed a hair. Then he went over to the mirror and started shaving. It was hilarious, said Lorna Vincent. The time Michael Fragale flipped chocolate on Krista Smith's new white pants, that had the whole lunch room dying, adds Tammy Jones. There was one time when Vickie Wiseman shot the ball at the wrong basket and made two points for the oth- er team. It was funny but Coach was mad, said Linda Knotts. Students can go on and on all day with their funny sto- ries. Stories that can keep you rolling on the floor. It's times like these that make high school the important period of time that it is. Once I applied to get into the girls' chorus, and they ac- cepted me, laughed Bob Shelton. And the funny times roll on.

The relaxed proud attitude of Hemington High School stu- dents. It has always been here and it will remain for years to come. Other people are not aware of our quality. Our special ways that set us apart from other schools. Fleming- ton students are individuals with their own opinions and interests. However the indi- viduals mood changes when the topic changes to the school. The student body transforms into a whole, a certain unit that is called a family. It's our closeness that makes us so special. This special feeling has not developed in just one month or one year. It keeps growing as the years roll by. The family keeps getting stronger. Top: A visitor could enter the school and have no problem finding out how students feel about their school. Steve Lawson shows the champion style. Above: Music can relax students so that they can start studying. Sophomore, Kelly Ware listens to her favorite station in study hall.
