In the fall of 1965, two hundred five eighth graders gathered in the space designated in the hugh gymnasium of Floyd County High School. Teachers led the small, timid students to homerooms for schedules and instructions to follow during their first day of high school. As eighth graders, the class of 1970 accepted more responsibility, created new ideas, and worked together to achieve their goals at FCHS. A few of those goals were reached during the class of 1970’s freshmen year. One freshmen secured a seat in the District Forensic Team. Freshmen boys took important roles in all sport activities and three girls became part of the Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad. The sophomore year proved to be another year of success. Several sophomore boys were accepted to play Varsity Football. One girl represented the class as the only Varsity Cheerleader from the sophomore class. One boy took part in State competition in track, which was an unusual honor for a sophomore. Two class members retained finalist positions in the VFW Speaking Contest, three girls became yearbook staff members, and one girl was accepted for the majorette team. The Junior year was an especially rewarding year. Thirty-six students were tapped into the Beta Club. Five Juniors from the three publication staffs represented FCHS at SIPA. Two Juniors represented the school at All-State Chorus. Early in the spring, Junior officers and Miss Ruth Anfi Slusher made prom arrangements. In May, the entire class took part in transforming the cafeteria into “Three Coins in a Fountain.” The Senior year climaxed the career of 129 students in high school. Five more seniors were tapped into the Beta Club. Senior privileges, made possible by Mr. Hollandsworth and Senior officers acting as representatives of class opinions, proved to be just one more big accomplishment of the complete union and ability to work together of the Class of 1970. The history of the class of 1970 was the reward for the many hours spent planning, studying, and creating. The one-hundred twenty nine members, composing a minority of the student body, were proud to be a part of the successful Class of 1970.
