It may work when you’re late getting home from school because you ran out of gas. Of course, this is your fault because you spent the money allotted you or that you earned for gas on the pool table or pinball machine at your favorite place in town. And all because of this you had to borrow money from your friends in order to get home. Yeah, this answer might fool your parents, but what are you going to say to that teacher who is staring at you waiting for an answer?! One of the popular replies at GHS is the statement, I was at my locker!” You, of course, will not mention the fact that you weren’t there alone or to get your books which you probably forgot. Yes, you may have shared a quick moment with the special girl or boy in your life or just heard the latest gossip. Another reply often heard is I couldn’t get my locker open.” Yes, it is unfortunate that sometimes after nine weeks of a semester of school that you can’t get the hang of your locker combination! Of course, maybe, one reason it wouldn’t open is because you and he (or she) were leaning against it talking. The answer Oh, just hangin’ around” may not be what the teacher wants to hear, but it’s usually what you were doing. 2 _ CONTENTS INTRODUCTION — 3 Hangin' Around in Grafton I Where do students go after the game? what do they do on evenings when there are no games? The answer to both questions is really quite simple — they just hang around. Students hang out at Biggies, Capri. Charlie's Place, Dairy Mart. Riverside Inn. Tastee Freeze or any place where food. coke, music, pinball machines or pool tables can be found. They hand around these places in Grafton waiting for something exciting to happen. (That's why they're always hanging around these places — because nothing ever happens. ) If nothing happens in Grafton they always try some places in Clarksburg, Bridgeport, or Fairmont, these being the Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Pappy's Restaurant, which was closed earlier this year, was a major hang out on weekends and especially after the games or dances. Hanging around these places on weekends gives the students a chance to relax and unwind. Hang outs are where they take their break from Charlie's Place is a major lung-out for students 4 — STUDENT HANG OUTS Mark Hcffcrin relaxes at Riverside Inn Students hanji ut at the Dairy Man after a basketball came. STUDENT HANG OUTS — 5 Mary Gillespie. Dee Dee Jones, and Mark Sciegaj arc thinking, talking, or writing. Hangin' Around School Where do you hang around at school? In the mornings, most students gather at a friend’s locker and talk about yesterday’s occurrences. A lot go to the cafeteria to study for a test or finish homework. Some hang around the ramps or on the stairwell waiting for the bell to ring to go to classes. After it rings few will go right to class. They hang around outside the classrooms. At lunch many can be found hangin’ around where they shouldn’t be, such as in the restrooms smoking instead of outside on the bleachers or outside classrooms disturbing other classes. Those who have free time like to hang around the library to read a magazine or book to pass time. When it’s time to go home most leave in a hurry. Few hang around unless to wait for a bus. The halls are always full of people hangin’ around. 6 — STUDENT HANG OUTS Marti Winfrec. RcDonna Gutherie, and Crystal Shahan hang around the halls looking at decorations. Sandy Lough, Selah Riffle, Jeff Pauletta, Randy Pitman, andj fa k Ringlcr hang around class a while. Sam Gerard hangs around for a quick picture. STUDENT HANG OUTS — 7 Mrs Morrison joins her Psychology class in analyzing the behavior patterns of small children. Coach Chip Ingram demonstrates some of the gymnastic techniques to the co-ed gymnastic class. Classroom Projects Students spend ninety percent of their time in the classroom. Many students like diversified activities in their classroom projects. Some such activities this year include: a Student Government Day where the Political Science class ran the city government for a day and the students in the Current Events class taped a close-circuit television show each Monday. Becky Pederson and Patty Shaffer work on mannequins in Cosmetology class at Gore. 8 — CLASSROOM PROJECTS mmStudent At the top right, Susie Williams models her gaucho outfit and at the bottom, Debbie Cobb, Joedy Lambert, Jeri Trickett, Leslie Boyles, Tim Smith and Dave Robinson work on ramp decorations. 10—FASHIONS OF 77 Hang-On! Take a Look at 'll Fashions Many new fashionable outfits can be seen at GHS this year. The main dress idea is not wearing what everybody else wears but what looks right on you. Sweaters have made a great comeback for girls and guys. Sweaters are great coordinates with slacks, skirts, the ever popular jeans which will probably never die out, and gauc-hos and knickers which are new this year. Sweaters over blouses, making the layered look, are very fashionable. There are many styles from which you can choose: bell-sleeves, cowl necklines, turtlenecks, or wrap sweaters. There are a variety of patterns from bold stripes and tweeds to Indian patterns and designs. The biggest thing to come this year is the huggy. A huggy is a piece of woolen or polyester material shaped like a tube. Its the most versatile piece of clothing ever. It can be used as a dicky under a jumper, a hat, a scarf, or a turban. The length of dresses is determined by the individual, although today more girls are leaning towards longer dresses, the midi, for comfort and warmth. Pantsuits and jumpsuits are a smart look for school or party. Pantsuits can be purchased with a blouse, a vest, a jacket, and slacks. Jumpsuits can be found in one piece or in a simulated two piece look with a jacket. Coming now is overalls with old timer button suspenders. New in the jewelry line are bangle bracelets, string and macrame necklaces and necklaces having a cloth design. Necklaces are worn by girls and guys. Wedge shoes and fashion boots fit the feet now. Also joc shoes for both girls and guys. A comfortable shoe for walking is the earth shoe. FASHIONS OF 77—It Hangin' Around Is Part TOP LEFT.

Come on an' The crowd stands for the National Anthem Hey, ref arc you calling the game or taking a nap?” This is one of the statements you might hear from the crowd at a basketball game. Crowds arc everywhere people are: at games, in the lunchroom, or in the halls. A crowd is a social gathering. Around the locker to hear the latest gossip, in the lunchroom to talk about what you’ve done today, or at a gymnasium or football stadium to watch a sports event are just a few of the places that crowds gather. Students exchange the latest news, while waiting in line to buy Little Debbie snacks. U — CROWDS Join the Crowd CROWDS — 15 Keep on Watchin' This year was a great year for T.V. The shows ranged from the dramas to the comedies. The students of Grafton High were some of their greatest fans. At Grafton High if you kept your eyes and ears open you could hear or even see an imitation of Arthur Fonza-relli or better known as the Fonz” from the show Happy Days. The faces of the Swcathogs, from Welcome Back Kottcr, covered the books and the popular saying Up your nose with a rubber hose!” rang through the halls. Happy Days also brought about the great saying Sit on it.” There were many other shows which won the attention of the students. For example, Baretta, Charlie’s Angels, Family, Laverne and Shirley, One Day at a Time, and Starsky and Hutch. Everyone had their favorite show and worked their schedule so they could watch it. There were many movies which appeared for the enjoyment of everyone. One movie, simply called Roots,” caused a lot of talk. It was a 12 hour movie which showed the life of the Negro slave and how freedom came about for one family through the generations. These shows on T.V. gave laughter, tears, and drama to the students’ life. Posters in lockers, covers on books, and discussions in the classroom all showed the effect of T.V. on the students and their daily life. There were many male favorites Farrah Fawcett was a favorite with male students. Popular T V. stars were seen on students’ bookcovcrs. Pictures of T.V. favorites were found in lockers. 6 — TV AND STUDENT LIFE Music, Music, Music Barry Manilow had a top favorite Ip Everyone likes music. Music is a universal language. Music is for listening to or for moving to; both are popular pastimes of students. Top hits of the past school year ranged from a Disco Duck shaking his tail feathers to a slow love song about a girl named Beth; both were bought by many music loving students. When five percent of the students at GHS were asked who were their favorites, Mary McGregor and Barbara Streisand were the favorite female vocalists, Barry Manilow and John Denver were the male vocalists chosen, the favorite group was the Captain and Tennille and the favorite song chosen was Torn Between Two Lovers.” Leslie Boyles and Gary Moore bump to the beat of the music Cindy Woodyard listens to one of her favorite Ips. Crystal Shaffer shops for one of the latest Ips. MUSIC OF 77—17 Student Employment Teresa Shaw is straightening clothes while working at Heck’s. During the school year many students arc employed in various part-time jobs in the evenings after school, or on weekends. Working part-time helps the student gain experience that is needed when they take on full-time employment. The extra money that a student earns helps their parents with expenses that have risen so much in the last few years. It also encourages the student to handle their own money and spend it wisely. Sometimes it’s hard to get homework finished and study for tests, especially if you work long hours. Sophomore Melanie Snyder works Tuesdays and Thursdays at Beverly’s Restaurant. Meeting people and getting experience is what she likes most about her job. She dislikes the pay. Junior George Cassell is employed at the Garden Fresh. He said, It’s hard to get homework done, but I like the bread.” Dave Posey, freshman, does odd jobs around his neighborhood like mowing grass and raking leaves. Since he only works about three hours each day he has plenty of time to do homework. He likes meeting people and it’s good exercise.

CANDIDS —21 There is more to a student’s life than homework and books. Students need a little diversion from the daily routine. At GHS many students are involved in hobbies as a way to relax and get away from the same ole thing. Hobbies give the student a chance to have fun in their spare time and still be learning too. They help the students increase their creativity. Hobbies were popular around Grafton High School and there was s uite a variety. Some of the students had hobbies dealing with cars, others with animals and some with baking or sewing. Everyone Needs Bunny Tyler enjoys working with her horses as a pastime. Taking care of his car is Terry McDaniel’s idea of a favorite hobby 22 —HOBBIES a Hobby Cake baking and decorating is a hobby enjoyed by Donna Baker Mark Stozcnfcls takes pride in his car and keeps it looking good. Roberta Ash likes talking on the CB as a pastime. Clifford Titchcncll rides his Suzuki as a hobby. HOBBIES — 23 Snow, Gas Our school days were interrupted frequently this winter with cold weather leading to a natural gas shortage and lots and lots of snow.. Snow fell in Taylor County and accumulations made hazardous driving conditions. Temperatures reached far below zero and natural gas consumption rose sharply. The Equitahle Gas Company ordered schools to close in order to conserve gas. Winter’s worst caused a total of 16 days to be missed by siudrtt Most students at Grafton High were not disappointed because they didn’t have to go to school. Many said they got a4little bored but a lot made the most of it and went skiing, ice skating or sledriding. Some spent the time catching up on work they had put off. Area stores were ordered to lower thermostats andjeut back- hours and residential gas customers were asked to lower their thermostats to 62 degrees. With all the cold and snow still another problem arose; many waterlines froze and burst. Water supplies were low and everybody was asked to conserve. Many families went several weeks without water. It was a bad. cold winter and everyone complained about gas Bills skyrocketing, water shortages and bad driving conditions but the winter of '77 will be one to remember. 24 — SNOW DAYS Students sitting at tables in the classroom. 26 — CANDIDS IN THE CLASSROOM It Rained on My Homecoming ’76 will be remembered for its spirit, enthusiasm and excitement. It was a great homecoming for rain, mud and cancellations. Everything was going great on October 7, the day before the big game. The halls were decorated, the parade was that evening and spirit was everywhere! Decorations in the halls were judged in class competition. Sophomores were first place winners and Seniors placed second. That evening it rained or rather poured on our parade! The floats and decorations were soaked and drooping, but the enthusiasm still rang through the streets of Grafton. In float competition, the French Club placed first and the FBLA float took second. October 8 was the scheduled date for the game between the Grafton Bearcats and the Mannington Gators. Even though it was raining and mud was everywhere people turned out to watch. It was about time for the game to begin, when the lights blew out and sparks filled the air. Everyone was in the dark and mud. Well, needless to say, the game was set for a later date, November 11. Homecoming queen Susie Bruner and her escort Joedy Lambert presided over the activities. The coronation of the queen usually takes place on the field during half-time, but since the game was cancelled, the crowning took place at the dance on Saturday, October 9. The Homecoming court princesses were: Parade Seniors Leslie Boyles and Kathy Boyles and their escorts Gary Moore and Terring Skinner. Juniors Michelle Miller and Sharon Swisher with escorts Tom Mcwshaw and Greg LaPcra. Sophomores Sandy Davis and Amy Hcf ferin and their escorts Mike Stockett and Jim Foley, and Freshmen Gail Reel and Christina Boyce with escorts Brett Evans and Adam Gaines. On November 11, the Bearcats met the Gators in a tough defensive struggle. The game was close with the Bearcats losing 6-8 and giving the Gators a tough time. Finally the Homecoming events had ended. It may have been a defeat, but the spirit remained through rain, mud, darkness and cancellations. HOMECOMING COURT 76-77: FRONT ROW: Gail Reel, Sandy Davis.(5jtaron Swisher Leslie Boyles.

Dee Dee and Buddy danced under the summerhouse We’ve Only Just Begun” was the theme of the 1977 Junior-Senior Prom. It was held May 14 in the Clair-Bec Fieldhouse from 8-11 p.m. This year’s senior princesses and their escorts were Mary Gillespie and Gary Gillespie; Judy Haines and Chuck Criss; Zena Lambert and Tony Robinson; Stephany Minney and Chip Kepple; and Wendy Peters and Jack Dempsey; LeeAnn Swiger and I id Morgan. Junior princesses and their escorts were: Cheryl Criss and Terring Skinner; Linda Frey and Mike Ware; Linda Dickey and £uitis McDaniel; Ann Henderson and Greg LePara; Tammy Mayle and Tag Mayle; Vickie Snyder and Mark Hefferin; and Sharon SwIsHeTagd David Heinzman. The senior girls who were last year’s princesses were not eligible to be princess again but they were eligible to be queen. Mr. Arthur Haswell was master of ceremonies for the coronation. He introduced all the princesses and their escorts. Then last, but not least, he opened the envelope and announced the 1977 GHS Prom Queen to be Dee Dee Jones. Dee Dee was chosen by Mr. Bob Griese, quarterback of the Miami Dolphins. During the coronation Frank Sander sang the theme song We’ve Only Just Begun.” He was accompanied by Mr. Kenneth Godwin, Jr. Last year’s queen Tara Campbell crowned Dee Dee while GHS Principal Robert Straight presented her with a bouquet of pink roses. She also received a congratulatory note from Mr. Griese. The queen and her court danced the first dance of the Prom and then everyone else joined in. The music was provided by a band from Charleston called AXIS.” White and pastel shades seemed to be the order of the evening for girls’ gowns, while most guys seemed to prefer a pale blue tuxedo. Decorations for the prom were outstanding. The whole gym certainly didn’t look like itself. There was a false ceiling of streamers and walls covered with ivy. In the center of the dance floor was a summerhouse decorated by dozens of paper roses. The night of May 14 was definitely a night to remember for many juniors and seniors. There was only one problem with the Prom. It wasn’t long enough. Everyone was still going strong when it was over. prom — 33 Prom Queen 34 — PROM 1976 SENIOR PRINCESSES AND ESCORTS.

A Different Game On April 29 in the Clair Bee Fieldhousc a very unusual sport was taking place. Some members of the faculty and the Board of Education were playing a type of game that was new to Grafton: Donkey Basketball. They played the sport of basketball, only from the back of some 'harmless' little donkeys. Their opponents were the members of the Grafton Jaycees who also rode donkeys. Students, members of the community, and donkey fans came to the ficldhouse to see some of their 'favorite’ faculty, board, and Grafton Jaycee members ride wild, bucking donkeys and try to play basketball besides! The spectators laughed as the men tried to mount and then try to stay on the bucking animals. The Board of Education team won the game in overtime. Donkey Basketball was sponsored by the Student Council.

If so, his name is Harvey, the personal friend of El wood P. Dowd. HARVEY, by Mary Chase, was presented by the GHS Drama Society on November 21 and 22 at the GHS auditorium. It was directed by Miss Kathy Fox, sponsor of the Drama club, who also teaches English at GHS and the assistant Director was Mimi Duckworth, a senior at GHS. Rehearsals lasted for two hours a night, five nights a week, for six weeks. The cast worked very hard during this time and many times they felt the play just wasn’t going to make it according to Miss Fox. Once while rehearsing, a piece of scenery fell from above and almost hit an actress, who jumped out of the way. It weighed several pounds and could’ve done serious injury. The scenery shattered and they had to re-build it fast because the accident occurred just two days before they had to go on. Marvin Bartlett, sophomore, who played Elwood P. Dowd, said I enjoyed the play and participating in it. The part of Elwood, I enjoyed, because he was always happy and never let anything bother him. That’s the way everyone would like to be in everyday life.” Joy Steadman, sophomore, who played Elwood’s sister, Veta Louise, said, The play was fairly organized and it was a good learning experience. The cast got along well, too. The character of Veta was rather fun because she was terribly eccentric and son of bird-brained. 52— HARVEY Drama Class Presents d HARVEY CAST Myrtle Mac Judy Yost Veta I aw isc Joy Steadman Elwood P Dowd Marvin Bartlett Miss Johnson Kim Koshka Mrs. Ethel Chauvcnct Diana Thompson Ruth Kelly.

Superintendent of Taylor County Schools speaking to them about the School Bond Levy, which did not pass. They organized the Homecoming dance and all of the other Homecoming activities and also organized the Christmas dance. This year the residents of Grafton were treated to a donkey basketball game, in which members of the Board of Education played. During the year, one of the students from GHS, senior Debbie Tucker, had her house burned down. The Student Council organized a Debbie Tucker Fund to which many contributed. The goal of the Student Council this year was a goal that all Student Council members hoped to accomplish, which is to get students to come to them with their gripes. Student Council also ran the elections for next year’s Student Council members. The election for student body president and vice-president was held on April 25. In the primary election there were five candidates for president. Three juniors included Mike Shuman, Vickie Synder and Bob Walters. The other two candidates were sophomores Joy Steadman and Mike Stockett. Bob Walters and Mike Stockett wfon the primary. Those running for vice-president were juniors Lisa Hcldreth and Bob Jones and sophomore Oran Warder. Each candidate and their managers gave speeches promising to w'ork hard for the students next year if elected. Bill Kline, campaign manager for Oran Warder stressed the fact that Oran Warder was not a jock and had time to devote to the job, while Oran showed that he planned to work if elected. He also showed he had a sense of humor. Bob Jones and his campaign manager, Mitch Maylc, hit a more serious note. Their main point was getting Student Council a bit more actice. Next came Jack Dempsey and his candidate Lisa Hcldreth. Jack introduced Lisa as the girl with a big heart and Lisa’s speech dealt with student rights and howr she would fight for them. Presidential candidates and their campaign managers gave the speeches next. Marvin Bartlett stepped out first with his speech for candidate Mike Stockett. Whether he was for or against his candidate was at times a question, but his humor served to introduce his candidate. Mike Stocket spoke to each of the classes individually and gave a brief summary of what he’d do if elected. Jim Campbell gave a brief and to the point introduction of the candidate that was to be GHS’s new student body president — Bob Walters. Bob went on to outline his plan if elected: pave student parking lot, sell junk food, and revive open campus. Oran Warder and Lisa Heldreth tied. A runoff election was held the following Monday. Lisa Hcldreth became the new vice-president. FIRST ROW: Eddie Bolyard, Greg LcPera. Tim Foley. Oran Warder, Matt Gcnnctte, Donna Moran. DiancU th Afcria Wisniewski. Donna Barthclcmy. Chuck Warder.

STUDENT COUNCIL — 59 Bearcat Re-Echo One Staff Two Publications It was a hectic year for the journalism staff. Ms. Donna Myers, journalism sponsor, decided to try combining the BEARCAT and RE-ECHO staff into one. All year, it was rush, rush, rush. In between putting out issues of BEARCAT, they tried to put together a memorable yearbook. There were seven issues of the BEARCAT with BEARCAT Editor Denise E. Bennett supervising. The big change in the BEARCAT was that it was run off at the MOUNTAIN STATESMAN. The staff had quite a time adjusting to the change and half the time the staff or the MOUNTAIN STATESMAN missed the deadlines. For the yearbook the RE-ECHO, it was a year of changes. The book will now be shorter, yet longer. It will have 40 more pages but the dimensions of the book have been cut. Against the wishes of many students, posed Prom pictures of couples have been replaced by candids. At the end of the book is something new: an index with each person’s name in it and on what pages their pictures appear. Co-editors of the yearbook, Zena Lambert and Bunny Tyler, were often at each other’s throat, but here it is, our YEARBOOK. Staff meetings were frequent but everyone didn’t always show up for them. It wasn’t ail work There was some fun and games. Zena Lambert, co-editor of the yearbook is working on layouts. 60 — JOURNALISM STAFF The photographer caught Maria Wisniewski off guard. Denise E Bennett, editor of the BEARCAT, is always up to her neck in work, but she always has time to smile. Here she is laying out pan of the last issue.

Remember all the times you needed a magazine and one of the girls went to get it or all the times you couldn’t find a book and took one of the girls back there to prove it wasn't there, only to find it right in front of your nose. There wouldn't be much of a library without all the library assistants. 2. Office Aides Office aides were students who have at least one business class and want the experience of working in an office. These girls do all sorts of tasks; like typing, answering the telephone, picking up absence sheets, mimeographing things, and running all kinds of errands, it’s fun. 3. Athletic Ticket Collectors The Athletic Ticket Committee is behind almost every sport at GHS. They sell tickets, collect tickets, and makes sure no one sneaks in or takes cokes into the gym. These girls never get praise for the long hours they put in except from Mr. Spadafore. Without ATC everyone would get into the games free and without money there wouldn’t he much of an athletic program. 4. Teachers' Aides Here are the ones you want to get to when you’re going to have a big test and you don’t know any of it. The teachers’ aides help the teachers. They type tests, run tests off, etc. To be a teachers’ aide you have to have a free period and a teacher who wants you. 1. Those who sec to the running of the school Jibra v include FIRST ROW. K.

The Varsity team ends the season with a 3-7 record, not quite what everyone expected, but injuries plagued the Bearcat team early in the season. A survey was taken and some GHS students were asked, What is your opinion of the Varsity football team?” These are the responses received: Joe Goff, freshman said, We have a great team. Their record should have been better than it was. A muddy number fourteen Mike Ware runs downfield. but they were a 'first half’ ball club.” Sam Gerard, junior, replied I think they did their best. They would have probably done better if it weren’t for their injuries in the first few games.” I would have liked to have remembered a winning team my last year at GHS, but they acted like they were afraid they’d get their uniforms dirty,” answered Barbara Wood, senior. I think they tried hard,’’ said sophomore, Martha McDonald. Patty Shaffer, senior. replied, I really don’t think they tried hard enough.” By winning the last few games, they proved that if it hadn’t been for injuries they would have had a better record this season,” said Shelley Heinzman, sophomore. Dennis Bolyard, freshman, answered. I don’t think they played to their full ability.” Tag Mayle, senior, replied, They started out good, but ended up losing.” Though responses varied, most lean toward backing up their team. These two Grafton gridders are rather occupied with their opponents in white Grafton seems outnumbered here two-to-one. FIRST ROW Paul Faulkner, Bobby Wood, Butch Lantz, Mark McDougal, Tim Foley.

After all the skuffing and hard playing, their record was only 2-15. Oh well, they were a good team, according to most students, and they tried hard. The team did make it to the tournaments, though, for the first time. They played the Washington Irving Hilltoppers at Bridgeport on Dec. 3. They lost the game. The top scorer of the game was Ann Hosmeyer, who was also named All-Tournament player. Three players were named on the All-State team. Those players were Sandy Davis, Karen Hosmcycr, and Ann Hosmcycr. To sum up the year, the team was generally disappointed with the way things went. Some valuable players were lost from the previous year. When asked their opinion, some were hesitant to answer. Junior Debbie Bennett expressed her opinion of the year, I think the team did well under the circumstances. Undergoing the process of a new coach did not have the setback which we anticipated. Our big pull down was lack of school spirit. In my opinion, everyone on the team was disappointed right from the start of the season. We felt that we were let down by the student body, because no school spirit was ever present at any games. We hope next year GHS will take a little pride in our team.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL — 83 Thru the Hoop for Two Varsity players started working hard at practicing on December 1, concentrating on defensive skills, also giving attention to the offense. To get a jump on the rest of the Big Ten. Coach Butch Haswcll’s squad started their pre-season drills at 6:30 a.m. before school began. Promising varsity players included Mike Ware. Ronnie Moran. Mark Hulley, Joedy Lambert. Ed Bolyard. Rich Doughtcry. Tony Robinson, Tim Foley, Jay Smith, Mark McDougal. Greg I aPera. Rich Harbert, and Marty Bolyard. This year’s managers for varsity as well as for junior varsity were Keith Jaco and Bill Boicc. This year opposing teams weren’t the only things that varsity players had to fight against. The winter of 1977 was the worst in many years that Grafton has had. Along with freezing weather, cold buildings, injured students, and cancelled school there were also games cancelled. Through all the cancelled games, the team ran around the cold gym in sweat suits to stay in shape. Because of the gas shortage, the heat was turned down and the players had to dress warm in order to practice. Varsity finished the season writh a record of 12-10. On March 11, at the Nathan Goff Armory the Bearcats defeated Bridgeport in the first game of the sectional competition and entered into the finals the next evening. The Ikarcats were defeated on March 12 in the finals by Washington-Irving and were named first runner-up in the sectional playoffs. Mike Ware and Jay Smith were named to the All-Tournament Team. Graduating players were: Ed Bolyard. Rich Dougherty. Mark Hulley, Joedy Lambert, Ron Moran, and Mike Ware.

If their winning season was any sign of what’s to come for next year's Varsity Team, we’ll be in for one heck of a season. With a record of 14-5 they showed the crowd some pretty exciting moments. Under the first year coaching of Chip Ingram, the team suffered only a few losses and those games were very close ones. They usually lost in the last few seconds.

Tom Kirkpatrick stole 19 bases in 19 tries and Tim Foley stole 13 bases in 15 tries this year. Mark McDougal and Dave Heinzman hit the only home runs. This year a girl by the name of Alice Hcgcthornc was on the team. Alice Hegethorne was the worst player, said Mitch Mayle. I’m not against girls playing baseball, but she just didn’t have it. Her main problem was that she never showed up! Alice Hegethorne was an invention of Coach Chuck Duckworth.

Allowing the freshmen to score only one touchdown, they easily defeated them, 28-6. In the second game neither the senior nor the sophomore teams wanted to give in to defeat. The game ended in a tie. Finally, after seven overtimes, which was history in the tournaments, the sophomores won, 31 24. The championship game which was scheduled for the next evening, was postponed because of rain. It was held later, on October 4, with the junior and sophomore teams in competition. It was a hard struggle, but the sophomores managed to defeat the juniors, 5-2.

Two students died, leaving us to carry on. Rick Wcsterman was a senior at GHS. On September 18, 1976, Rick was killed in a car accident. He had a C average in school and wasn't involved in any clubs or sports. Terry Isner was a sophomore at GHS. On Friday, April 15, 1977, he and four other teenagers, Debbie Gallaher, Ron Stevens, Gary Gaines, and Lou Ann Beverlin were involved in a car accident that occurred on Route 50 at 10:50 p.m. All five were transported from the Grafton City Hospital to the West Virginia Medical Center in Morgantown. Four were sophomores at GHS. Miss Beverlin is from Mount Clemens, Michigan. Twelve days after the accident, Terry died of injuries sustained in the accident. Terry was an average student and was very active in sports. These two deaths will serve as a grief to the student body and faculty at GHS. Words can never say The grief we feel. For now we know That death is so very real. It strikes down the old. And the young just the same; And we never stop to think of it We just play our reckless game. Till one of the players. So carefree and so young. Is struck from the game and the bell is rung. Then we remember, our heads bent low-in pain They were only borrowed, but we loved them just the same. And we stand in the forum without a word to say But the w-histle is blown and the game is under way. Life must continue, but forever they’ll be In our dearest, our best, our fondest memories. — Lisa Black 158 —CAR ACCIDENTS Faculty and Academics ining Skills There are lots of new skills taught at GHS classes.

As the end of school came near, some of the students acted up more in class and did some silly things they wouldn't have done at the beginning, but this can be understood as being free from school makes some people flip-out! Now our halls have been silenced and the classrooms are empty and bare. Not a sould can be heard. It’s a time for saying good-bye to school for a summer vacation and enjoying the parties that come with it. It’s also a time for getting a job or just hangin’ around, going places, and just having a good time! Larry Harton exemplifies that toward the end of school fashions got cooler. Drama students give a party for Miss Kathy Fox At the end of the year students are relieved of their books Gym classes went swimming as the weather warmed up. Students flip-out at the end of the year and do some weird things, as this picture shows 198 — CLOSING Empty for a While Richard Martin enjoys working on the farm in the summer. The school year is over and it is time to clean your locker and find things that you thought were gone Summer is here and all the classrooms are empty Brenda Bevins shows the feeling of most students about the ending of the school year CLOSING — 199 We say good-bye to the members of our Class of 77 never to be together again as a whole. Each will depart with the memories we have captured to look back on and think of one another as we go to our own way of life. Remembering the gcxxl times as well as the bad is just a part of life We'll remember our friends at Grafton High, the happenings and gossip and even some of the things we were taught in our classes.
