The first step toward a central high school to serve the county was taken in 1950. A school building survey committee to make a study of the school building needs of Floyd County, headed by Dr. Claude R. Graham, was ap- pointed by Dr. Dowell J. Howard at the request of the Floyd County School Board. After a thorough study of the needs of our county, the committee recommended, among other things, one consolidated high school to serve the entire county. The second major step toward our dream was on March 26, 1957, when Mr. R. O. Slusher, chairman of the Floyd County School Board, stated to an assembly of county citizens that the school board had unanimously approved the tentative consolidation program and urged the citizens of the county to support it. Definite action was taken in 1959, when the building site was selected. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors March 9, a resolution was approved to proceed with negotiations for the purchase of the site. Hayes, Seay, Mattern, and Mattern Company was selected as architects and engineers to design the building. The building contract was awarded to J. M. Turner Construction Company. The awarding of the contract climaxed four years of work to choose a site, secure funds, and let the contract that would put Floyd County on an edu- cational par with other progressive school systems in the state. The cornerstone was laid on October 13, 1961, for the new building. Senator S. Floyd Landreth of Galax was guest speaker. He stressed the importance of the church, home, and school as cornerstones in the life of our nation. David Turman, Carolyn Conner, and Glen Phillips represented the student body of the three county high schools and presented signatures of all students in grades seven through eleven to be placed in the cornerstone. Also placed in the cornerstone were the signatures of the school board members, members of the electoral board, and teachers. Winston Spencer, county clerk, submitted the names of county officials. In addition, data regarding the design and cost of the new school, names of officials of the J. M. Turner Construction Company, and a copy of the county newspaper was placed in the cornerstone. This cornerstone was placed in the structure to the left of the main entrance of the building. Dr. W. W. Wilkerson, state superintendent of public instruction, at the Dedication Ceremony November 11, 1962, pronounced Floyd County High School as the culmination of a dream. Superintendent Alonzo Monday, Jr. received special recognition for his efforts in turning Floyd County's dream into a reality.

The site selected for the new high school was cleared to make ready for the beginning of con- struction. The cornerstone, symbolizing a step forward in the educational system of Floyd County, was placed in the building structure. The structure, scheduled to be finished by September, began to take shape around mid- spring. Citizens and officials gather Dr. W. W. Wilkerson, state superintendent of public instruction, congratulated the citizens of Floyd County on their hard work and determination to furnish the best in education for their youth. On behalf of the citizens of the county, Mr. R. O. Slusher, chairman of the school board, presented the building to the students and faculty members of FCHS. Expressing his pride and pleasure with the completion of the new building, Superintendent Alonzo Monday, Jr. introduced platform guests present for the memorable occasion. Enthusiastically, the citizens of Floyd County display the co-operation and determination which made Floyd County High School possible. 6 to dedicate Dream” P R 0 G R A M Mr. Alonzo Monday, Jr., Superintendent, Presid.ng _______ Flcyd County High School Band BAND CONCERT-----------------“ Mr. jack Kaufman.

Without your efforts, our dream would not have been fulfilled, and this publication would not have been possible. Your diligent work in perfecting our dream will not be forgotten. You have exercised your talents and abilities to achieve this dream for us—the youth of Floyd County. Among these citizens, we wish to express our special gratitude to the members of the Floyd County School Board—Mr. R. O. Slusher, Sr., Mr. R.L. Nixon, Mr. W. O. Showalter, Mr. B. P. Simpson, Mr. J. H. Sumpter, and Mr. M. L. Cole; also to the Division Superintendents—Mr. G. F. Poteet, Mr. W. W. Robinson, Mr. A. S. B r o c k m a n, Mr. J. H. Combs, and Mr. Alonzo Monday—who have furnished such able leadership during the duration of our dream. You have given unselfishly of your time and resources for our benefit. We hope that we may in some way repay your unlimited kind- ness by our future successes. To you, the citizens of Floyd County, we present a resume of the first year of county consolidation—through the pages of this, THE 1963 BISON. 8 In Memoriam William Thomas Harry was a man with a smile—but he could understand sorrow and sympathize with others. He was a man with a dream for the progress of the youth of Floyd County—but had realistic suggestions to meet the practical problems of each day. He was ener- getic and always busy—but never too busy to take time to help some- one else. He had a sense of discipline—but his appreciation of fair play made him always ready to listen to the other side of the story. He was sincerely interested in the life of the community as a whole— but he made more individual friends in four years than many people make in a lifetime. He was a man who respected young people and believed in them—but was even more concerned that they should have self-respect and believe in themselves. He had a keen sense of humor and a ready laugh—but he was fully aware of the seriousness of the problems which had to be met and solved at home and abroad. He was modest, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, beloved by his staff and students alike, and was held warmly in the hearts of those whose life touched his. He will long be remembered by those whose friendship and respect he won, and kept. Tradition grows as formal touches are added COI NTY CRIER SCHOOL COLORS: Black and Gold FLOYD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL ALMA MATER Like the tow'ring mountains round her Pointing to the sky, Emblem of a noble vision, Floyd County High!

A new high school, with varied offerings and a well qualified faculty, gives each student an opportunity to develop to his highest potential. Through study, the future citizen is being moulded into an indi- vidual of maturity, depth, and purpose. Having met the high standards of qualification, Floyd County High School is fully accredited by the State Board of Education, Richmond, Va. Minimum state requirements form only a base for the varied offerings at Floyd County High School. She offers her 844 students a well-balanced curriculum consisting of 84 offerings. Each classroom has modern facilities. The extensive curriculum enables the teachers and students to do their best work in the fine tradition already established at Floyd County High. The five-year high school is planned around three specific areas: academic for those going to college and looking forward to some type of profession; vocational for those interested in the business world, agriculture, or home economics; and general for those who do not choose to specialize in any one field. Through the accelerated program students arc permitted to advance according to their abilities and efforts. The School Board believes that quality in education should be attained before quantity. The five-year high school program is set up on the theory that education is growth; growth requires time. All students are required to carry four major subjects and register for advanced courses. Floyd County High School's curriculum is representative of a tremendous forward step in pro- viding high-quality education for the youth of our county. Consolidation is concerned with the individual in particular and with the students in general. Wisdom, skill, understanding, and perception come to the leaders of tomorrow through our Curriculum... 11 English emphasizes the art of expression To better understand PYGMALION these college-bound seniors watched the television production of Shaw's play and then divided into discussion groups to compare the two. The purposes of the English Department are: to give college-bound students a varied background in literature and grammar for their higher education; and to aid all students in deriving pleasure from the various methods of communication. A pilot program of grouping English students was introduced in Floyd County High School this year. Students are placed into A, B, or C classes according to their scholastic abili- ties. Five credits in English are required for graduation. Teachers in the English Department are Mrs. Hallman, Mrs. Casteel, Mrs. Hewett, Miss Boothe, Mrs. Harmon, Miss Quesinberry, Mrs. Jarratt, Mrs. D. Vest, Miss Dickerson, Mrs. Houchins, and Mrs. Yeatts. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of grammar as freshman students learn to dia- gram sentences. Literature provides sophomores the opportunity to study great literary works and authors. The study of American writers required time and thought on the part of these juniors. English baskets which contain papers of good, fair, and careless work give eighth graders the initiative to make their work better. 12 Languages, speech, and journalism stress understanding The Foreign Language Department consists of Latin I and II and Spanish I and II. These are not required courses, but most college- bound students take one or both of these since most colleges require from two to four years of a foreign language for admittance. Mrs. Harman teaches Spanish and Miss Dobyns teaches Latin. Speech, a new class this year, is taught by Miss Boothe. An elective course, it is taken by students who wish to improve their poise and delivery. The journalism class prepares and edits the school newspaper. Mrs. Hallman teaches journalism and is sponsor of the newspaper. Speeches in second-year Latin class enable students to understand the language and the customs of the Roman people. 13 Interpretation and poise are goals for all who study speech. Math classes challenge Mrs.Leedy shows her alge- bra class the method of cross-multiplication. knowledge The Math Department has course offerings in eighth-grade math, general math, trigo- nometry, Algebra I and II, and plane and solid geometry. Two credits in this depart- ment are required, but a total of seven courses are offered. The teachers in this department are Mrs. Altizer, Mrs. Leedy, Mr. Statzer, Mrs. Howard, and Mr. Enoch. Board demonstration problems enable plane geometry students to discuss the relation of triangles and their parts. General math requires accuracy in working with long problems. Mastering the slide rule provides trigonometry students with questions and answers. Seeing figures in three di- mension and finding the values of the parts provides many challenges for the solid geometry class. 14 Eighth graders find eighth grade math an interesting, but hard course. New labs increase opportunities in science classes The Science Department includes General Science I and II, Science III,biology, chemistry and physics. A course in human anatomy was introduced for the first time this year. Expensive laboratories and equipment have improved the science department to the extent that now students have facilities available for individual experiments. Special equipment for the biology and physiology classes enables more specific studies of plants, animals and human beings. Teachers in this department are Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Rutrough, Mrs. Effinger, and Mrs. Yeatts. Human physiology, a new offering at FCHS, gives students an oppor- tunity to study the functions of the human body. The study of the torso, shown above, was a main project. With the aid of microscopes, biology students are now able to study plants and animal cells in detail. Eighth graders find science more interesting now that they can experiment with the plants, etc., which they study. The Social Studies Department includes United States and Virginia history, United States and Virginia government, civics, world history, eighth-grade history, and world geography. Juniors and seniors take required sub- jects, United States and Virginia history and United States and Virginia govern- ment, respectively. Also a credit in either world history or world geography is required Civics and eighth-grade history are only a few of the many electives that are offered to students. Teachers in this department are Mr. Harmon, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Enoch, Mrs. Hewett, Mrs. Jarratt, and Miss Quesinberry. Social studies classes unveil past, present, and future Eighth grade history provides students with a background of American history and heritage. Panel discussions highlight the world history classes which study past and present world affairs. The study of world geography allows students to learn about the people, industries, and products of new and strange lands. Business classes prepare students for future careers The Business Department offers courses in bookkeeping, Shorthand I and II, general business, and Typing I and II. New courses offered are personal-use typing, office practice, and business math. As no credits in business are required for graduation, all of these courses are elective. Specialization in business education is offered to students who choose the vocational curriculum. Teachers in the Business Department are Mr. Leedy, Miss Slusher, Mrs. S. Vest, and Miss Shelor. Business students use modem office machines in solving bookkeeping problems. Mr. Leedy explains operation of the cash register to students during a general business unit. Office practice students learn to apply previously-acquired skills in practical office situations. Senior students strive to obtain maximum dictation speed before seeking employment. Students learn to compute interest, a unit taught in busi- ness math classes. Students enrolled in personal-use typewriting learn fundamentals of theme writing. Students master applied arts with skilled training The Applied Arts Department includes courses in agriculture, shop, and home economics. Added to this year's course offerings were industrial arts and distributive education. All courses in this department are elective. Teachers are Mr. Keith, Mr. Agee, and Mr. Jennings, agriculture and shop; Mrs. Cockram and Mrs. Gardner, home economics; Mr. Elliott, distributive education; and Mr. West, industrial arts. The boys in industrial arts trans- fer their book learning into practical situations. D. E. students get on the job train- ing at local busi- nesses. items, among these being equip- ment for this year's track team. The study of seeds and soil constitute a major part of the agriculture classes. Instruction in home economics classes includes selecting patterns and materials for new and attractive clothing. Band trips and participation in parades and concerts highlight the daily practice of the band students. Music and art require talent and skill The Music and Art Departments con- sist of band, choral, and basic art. Art is offered for the first time this year and is taught by Miss Boothe. These elective courses give students the opportunity to improve their self- expression and to develop their talents and skills. The band director is Mr. Kaufman; Miss Quesinberry teaches choral. Art students find painting and drawing a new method of self- expression. Choral classes practice daily for participation in concerts and in special programs. Students develop physically and mentally The Physical Education Department offers courses in physical education and health. Exer- cise, relays, and games are stressed in physical education class. First aid, health, and driver's training are also taught. The girls' health and physical education teacher is Miss Dunford. Mr. Sloane is instructor for the boys. The importance of safe driving and a knowledge of the rules of the road is stressed in health classes. Striving for physical fitness, physical education classes provide exercise and fun. Study halls stress disciplined study habits The library provides reading sources for both pleasure and information. Books ranging from biographies and autobiographies to novels and fiction are included in the library. Books for research, magazines, newspapers, etc., are kept on file for the students' use. The school librarian is Mrs. Dalton. Her assistant, Mrs. Elliott, is in charge of the audio-visual aids. The library serves as a perfect place to obtain mate- rial for research papers. Study halls pro- vide students time to do their home- work. 20 Examples of daily activities at FCHS A familiar sight—students from all parts of the county unload from the buses ready to begin another school day. The guidance staff proves to be invaluable to the students at FCHS as they fix schedules, plan courses, and help seniors with college plans. They are Mr. Harman, Miss Dobyns, Miss Shelor, and Mr. Sabo. The lobby of the guidance offices always seems to be filled with students. Students find that the wide halls seem to get narrowe r and narrower between classes. With three separate lunch groups, the cafeteria is an important part of the school. Students enjoy participating in ’'extras” One of the many parades in which the band participated was the annual Christmas parade. College Day gave students the oppor- tunity to t a 1 k with representatives from their chosen col- leges. Sales of concessions at home games serves as major money-making pro- jects. Members of the senior play cast try to relax before one of their per- formances. Exercise and prac- tice, practice and exercise, help the football team toward a successful season. Warm-up before each game and practice every- day merits victories. Students taking driver’ s education get behind the wheel training in this '63 Ford. ■ in Administration • • Floyd County High School's administrative staff includes men and women who arc dedicated to the common endeavor of helping mould a better world, and who are qualified and interested in supplying individuals with the knowledge they need and must have to survive. The superintendent, school board, maintenance staff, teaching staff, and office staff are all essential parts of the school system. They were the chief agents in the completion of our dream. The faculty provides the knob for the Door of Learning. They know that the urgency is too great and the times too critical to be satisfied with anything less than the highest vision of future achievement. Teachers are the directing force behind students, and they are keenly aware of the demands of this age of automation. They understand that the continuing growth of our heritage is a lifeline linked with the success of our school. They execute the thoughtful responsibility of guiding the youth of the county. Per- haps these are people who work harder than any others to foster but control our dreams. Those who furnish leadership to youth are pictured in the administration section which follows... • • Y 23 Administration staff leads school Mrs. Virgie Weeks, secretary to the superintendent; Alonzo Monday, Jr., superintendent of schools. Floyd County High School had been a dream for many years, and much of the credit for the M dream - come-true goes to the Floyd County School Board. This group, along with the citizens of Floyd County, spent many hours of planning and working to present to the students of Floyd County a school of which they can truly be proud. Their work has been suc- cessful because Floyd County High School students are now enjoying the best facilities offered in an accredited high school. When they proposed the idea of a consolidated school for the county, the board knew that they would face many difficulties before their proposal would become a reality. Education has advanced rapidly in the county over the years, and the board has helped to make this advancement possible. Today we have a school and an educational system superior in many aspects. Thanks to the concern of these men, we can proudly display our educational progress through Floyd County High School. MRS.

Managing the difficulties and activities of a consolidated high school can present many problems. The able leadership of our principal, Mr. R. L. Hollandsworth, and his entire office staff has guided the students at Floyd County High School through a most successful year. However, Mr. Hollandsworth's work began before September, 1962, when Floyd County High School opened its doors to students for the first time. The summer before school be- gan was spent planning schedules, working on records, and finishing last-minute details. Throughout the year, Mr. Hollandsworth stressed the importance of good principal, teacher, and student relations. Practically any day of the week he could be seen having a friendly chat with students. This is only one example of Mr. Hollandsworth's genuine con- cern for each student at Floyd County High School. Our sincere thanks go to the man who has led us through a most enriching year—Mr. R. L. Hollandsworth. MR. R. L. HOLLANDSWORTH B.S., M.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute Principal 25 MRS.

The lunchroom workers play an important part in the school day of both faculty members and students. They arrive at school early each morning and start the prepa- ration of the noon meal. The cooks share the responsibility of providing hot well-balanced meals for approximately 800 students who eat lunch every day. The custodians spend long hours during and after the school day in order to keep the building in spic-and- span condition. Even though the cooks and custodians are kept busy by their many responsibilities, they always have time for a friendly smile and warm greeting for everyone. Custodians: Mr. Tommy Royal, Mr. Jimmy Thomas, and Mrs. Jimmy Thomas. 32 . . . in Classes . . . The 844 students who arc pictured in the following section came to Floyd County High School from all parts of Floyd County. They arc students with the opportunities of a lifetime—a new school with wide offerings, modern facilities, various activities, and new sports to make their education one of superior rank. Friendships, activities, and sports have grown among the wide variety of students who arc engaged in study and activity at Floyd County High. Classes have united to continue their struggle for education and true sportsmanship. From the moment a student enrolls in Floyd County High School until he graduates, he is adding to his experiences, making new friends, exploring the wonders of knowledge, planning his career, and dreaming his special dreams of the future. There is an uncertainty that cloaks the future—an uncertainty that is tantalising as it beckons youth to prepare for it in his progress as a member of high school classes. The forces of consolidation have struck simultaneously and left the students with but one ob- jective-respectful honor for their alma mater, Floyd County High School. Their scope of achieve- ment is immeasurable. They have started traditions, enforced regulations, and contributed that part of their talents which will affect all future generations who attend Floyd County High School. The first year of consolidation was made by these students.. . 33 Miss Marie Boothe, Mrs. Ruth Hallman, Mr. John Harman Co-sponsors 34 Class of 1963 CLARA IMOGENE AGEE NANCY CAROLYN AGEE KATHLEEN STELLA AGNEW ROGER DOUGLAS ALDERMAN CONSTANCE REBECCA AKERS NANCY MILES ALLEN STAR SUE AKERS JAMES HERMAN AUSTIN FREEDA ANN ALDERMAN JAMES WELDON BELCHER 35 NANCY HALE BENNINGTON LINDA SUE BURNETTE HOSEA HENRY BLANKENSHIP LEWIS EDWARD CANNADAY SCA representatives: Mike Shelor, Linda Wimmer, Kay Reed, Robert Poff, Camile Stewart.

Floyd County High School has twenty-one organizations to enhance her total program of student growth and development. Extra-curricular activities furnish opportunities for growth in leadership and responsibility which are as necessary- to the student as his actual class work. Sharing ideas and experiences with those with whom he has a common interest helps the indi- vidual to develop his qualities of service, character, and initiative. It is through his membership in the organizations of the high school that the student has the foundation laid for membership in civic, political, cultural, and religious organizations that will beckon to him in adult life. Opportunities are provided through the various student activities to help the student develop leadership by working with his age group, by extending his interests and abilities, and by taking part in the life of the school. The aim of all the activities is to provide worthwhile goals in keep- ing with school programs. Each activity relates directly to a phase of the school program and exists mainly for that purpose. The organizations are somewhat limited as compared to those open for membership in the former county high schools. Membership is more specialized, but students still have a wide variety from which to select the two organizations in which they are most interested. They may also join an honor society on invftation. Each club is planned to allow the student to benefit most from membership in it. All clubs are designed to advance the individual's chance of success in future endeavors. The entire club program is scheduled to meet the needs of each student both collectively and individually, and special effort is made to interest the individual in an organization parallel to his study program. FCHS clubs meet on the third Friday of each month during different class periods in the day. However, special meetings may be called at other times during the month. Whether it be a publication club, vocational club, art club, or sports club, all twenty-one clubs sponsor programs to promote good relations with the public and contribute to school spirit. Following is a roster of Floyd County High School's organizations... 85 Student Co-operative Association gives voice to Officers: David Turman, district committeeman; Joyce Conner, reporter; Catherine Vaughn, vice- president; Martin Hall, secretary; John King, presi- dent; Jimmy Shaver, treasurer. The Student Cooperative Association of Floyd County High School is a state and district affiliated organization which is composed of all students and faculty members.

Compton Chapter in honor of the late Mr. Compton, clerk of the Floyd County School Board. Members of the FTA are preparing for their future jobs by helping a teacher of their selection in everyday work such as preparing bulletin boards, grading papers, and cleaning up the room. Various committees are set up during the school year, and many are responsible for writing the club's consti- tution, finding a suitable motto and discussing means of raising money. Not only do the FTA members make ready for teaching careers, but they help the school during the process.

Library Aides is a club with a dual purpose—members learn about the many phases of the library's operation and, at the same time, serve their school by performing various tasks in the library. During the year, students serve at the circulation desk, prepare new books for the shelves, file magazines, prepare bulletin boards and dis- plays, and assist in ordering new books. Members of Li- brary Aides find that they learn skills which benefit them in their school work as well as in many vocations which they may enter after graduation. The local club is a member of the District M Feder- ation of Student Library Assistants which offers an oppor- tunity twice each year to meet students with similar interests from surrounding schools for a day of training in library techniques and fun.

Members of the FBLA Chapter served as guides. In addition, the chapter sponsored a window display at one of the business establishments in Floyd during this week. As one of their projects, the chapter sponsored a school-wide spelling contest. Words were se- lected from the National Office Management Association word list, duplicated, and then dis- tributed by the members to the English teachers who gave the tests on a given date. Christ—The Light of the World was the theme of the Christmas float which was built by the members. The nativity scene was portrayed on the float by the members and their sponsor. One of the most important projects of the club was conducting the March of Dimes campaign in January. FBLA members feature Christ—The Light of the World in float at annual Christmas Parade. Mr. Vernon Harris, Chairman of Floyd County National Foundation, was assisted by members of the Chapter in distributing March of Dimes material. Members of the FBLA relax after making name tags to be used for open house held during American Education Week. Students find it is easier to duplicate the spelling list for the English classes than it is to take the test. 105 FHA officers: Seated: Catherine Vaughn, vice-president; Nancy Howard, president; Alice Epperly, secretary; Linda Wimmer, parliamentarian.

In addition to study, the first year of county consolidation has been marked by various featured activities. Through choices made in a democratic manner, Floyd County High School sponsors special events with appropriate celebration. As students receive honors, as featured on the following pages, students in this school are learning that one must contribute if special recognition is to be merited or bestowed. More must be contributed to merit any acknowledgement at all in this rapidly changing world. Thus, valuable experience in the art of living with one's fellowmen comes to students in Floyd County High School as they mould a part of their adult life through special events and features. These features of the school year supplement the months of actual study and provide a social, as well as an educational background, for FCHS students. The opportunties offered for this social development are presented in the following section_ 117 Cast: First row: Miss Marie Boothe, director; Martin Hall, Donna Reed, Hazel Hatcher, Carol Falls, Linda Nolen, Karen Thompson, Kathleen Agnew, Diane Hatcher, Diana Rakes, Nancy Allen. Ushers: Doris Quesenberry, Mary Gray, Kay Reed. Second row: Scott Sowers, Don Williams, Robert Britt, Mike Audiences blinded by courtroom sparks in It's a lie, a shameless lie! I'd do any- thing for Bjorn Faulkner-even murder. Fiery words such as these highlighted Night of January 16, a comedy-drama in three acts, which was presented by the Class of '63 on November 28 and 29. The entire play took place in a courtroom where Karen Andre, portrayed by Kathleen Agnew, was on trial for the murder of her ex- employer and close friend, Bjorn Faulkner. Furnishing the jury for both performances, the audience played a large part in the play. David Turman and Kent Howard played the leading roles as the district attorney and defense attorney, respectively. Since both boys gave an excellent performance, it must have been Defense Attorney Stevens' honest looking face that attributed to his client be- ing acquitted of murder both nights. The evidence was mostly against Miss Andre, and the performance of Karen Thompson, who portrayed Mrs. Bjorn Faulkner, captured the audience. Miss Marie Boothe, director of the play, spent many long nights in preparing the cast for the performances. Miss Boothe, a graduate of Floyd High School, was active in several high school plays herself. She also took part in dramatics at Radford College. The entire cast felt the hours of practice and the performances were most rewarding experiences, and the memories of the play will always linger in their minds. Miss Boothe, Mrs. Elliott, and Mrs. Howard apply make-up to three members of the cast. 118 She lor, Roger Alderman, Kent Howard, Garrett Hollandsworth, Danny Turman, Chris Perry, David Turman, Donald Roberson.

One of the most desired honors for a senior girl is to be chosen to serve as the Madonna at the Christmas Assembly. The recipient of this honor is selected by the members of the Senior Class, her qualifications being that she shall, in her own life, exemplify high Christian standards, and have demonstrated her personal qualities of moral responsibility and leadership, as much as having proven herself to be a good citizen in her school, community, and church. The faculty of Floyd County High School selects six girls for candidates. To be placed on the ballot is an honor bestowed on a senior girl even though she is not selected in the final vote by her class.

The Buffaloes finished their first season of football success- fully with a 4-3-1 record. Many hours of strenuous practice, hard work, and determi- nation were the keys to their success. Due to the fact that none of the boys had ever lettered in football, coaches Bob Statzer and Bud Elliot faced tremendous problems when they began practice on August 15. After almost two months of practice, the team played its first game and came home after shellacking Franklin County J.V.'s 27-7. Jim Sutphin, who scored 41 points during the '62 season, coaches Bob Statzer and Bud Elliot were was among the leaders in the district. However, football is a extremely proud of the team after its first team effort and everyone is looking forward to the next season. football season. 144 — give teams winning season 1962 BUFFALO SCORES Floyd County 24 Sparta Floyd County 27 Franklin County JV's Floyd County 6 E.

Party delegates try to solicit votes for their nominee. Political demonstrations brighten the con- ventions as a party meeting is raided by the opposing party. The first Student Cooperative Association election at Floyd County High combined a voting contest and first-hand experience with political conventions. Mock political convention, for two opposing partieswere held and a slate of officer candidates was drawn up by each separate party. The procedure for the conventions was borrowed from the Boys' and Girls' State meeting held each summer. Following the ceonvention, partieswere dropped and each student voted for the persons he considered to be more capable. By casting their secret ballots, the student body elected an all-boy executive council. 136 Sports The athletic program at Floyd County High School consists of four team sports and cheer- leading. Although football and track are new in the county athletic program, they are participated in as energetically as the already-popular baseball and basketball. Team spirit and the desire to win are only two of the many qualities that athletics instills in both its participants and the sports fans. The athletic program, provides a chance to develop friendly relationsnips with the members of the community and to develop within them an interest in the school. 137 Baseball offers spring sport for team members Team Members: First row: John Harris, Harry Harman, Hosea B 1 a n k e nsh i p, Michael Turman, Ronnie Vest, Michael Smith, Roger Alderman, Jimmy Sutphin.
