. . . by Buffalo Mountain Buffalo Mountain has a rather interesting history. At the close of the Revolutionary War, Light Horse Harry (Richard Henry) Lee was given a grant of 19,000 acres of land for his gallant services to his country. Six thousand acres of the grant lay in what is now Floyd County, and the remainder in Patrick. On the Floyd grant, Lee ' s son, Charles Carter Lee, brother of General Robert E. Lee made his home. The house was located under the shadow of Buffalo Mountain which was also part of the grant. The Buffalo, in the southern part of Floyd County, rises in the sublime grandeur, with clouds floating along its sides. Forming what resembles the hump of a buffalo, a panoramic view of the surrounding county can be obtained from the top of this mountain. Towering to a height of 5,250 feet, Buffalo Mountain casts her shadow of knowledge and strength upon Floyd County High School and the lives of its students. 8

ADMINISTRATION As we stand on the summit, we view the administration of Floyd County High School with gratitude and appreci- ation. In this fast moving era, special emphasis must be placed on a well-rounded education for every individual. The classes at Floyd Cotmty High ate planned around three specific areas: academic, for those going to college before entering a profession; vocational, for those interested in the business world, home economics or agriculture; and general, for those who do not choose to specialize in any one field. The curriculum at Floyd County High School is representative of a tremendous step forward in providing high-quality education for the youth of our county. The more than 61 subjects, offered by the 40 members of the faculty, in themselves offer a challenge to the student who accepts it. These teachers are dedicated to inspiring in their students a love of learning and in preparing them for the future. The faculty helps students develop an independence of thought and action, to learn to plan and accept responsi- bility, and to develop self-confidence. They see the necessity and value of basic education as well as the value of technical know -why and know-how. Through our administration, we honor Buffalo Moun- tain as it appears on the seal of Floyd C o u n ty High School. . . 9
