A TIME FOR: HA Time for . tae Almost all of us agree that there is rarely enough time in the day to fin- ish everything we want, but there is always a time for what we really want to do. One thing is for certain: For ten months out of each year, there is a time for each of us at Gra- ham High School. Winter is a time for - basketball, Christmas baskets, exams, research papers, and snowballs. Be OH Gh Sehool Published by the Bluefield, Virginia 24605 Volume 34 a a if - 7 . Table of Contents —9 .

The fine musicians, Drum Majorette Sally Saunders, and six majorettes, who always perform well, participate in all school and community parades. JO Sports provide a time for competing. There is no better example of good sportsmanship than the G-Men. In the game with Bluefield High, Eddie Hall, 32; Joe Jenkins, 44; Jimmy Bailey, 65; and Chris Morris, 88, helped the other G-Men with the cov- eted win. Clubs provide a time for people to associate with each other. The SCA, with Kelvin Williamson (standing) presiding and Donna Ford, Kelly Surber, and Donnie Tabor agreeing with his proposal, sets the tone for all the other clubs. 58 Curriculum provides a time for learning. Graham prepares its stu- dents both for further education and for immediate jobs after graduation. Jay Jennings, Darryl Cox, Pat Thompson, and Marty Nash admire potatoes grown in the horticulture class. People provide a time for knowing. It is the people people will remem- ber. Sherry Lawton, Monigue DeAngelis, Denise Daniels, Mark Kensinger, (standing) Mike Simpson, and Phil Lester will know each other at Graham; but, all too soon, each will go his separate way. 12q Ads 17g Gndex 213 Community-School Helped Each Other oe © See : Our school and community are entwined.

Through all of these we come in contact with each other and with the community. Four years pass quickly for some; slowly for others. Still, there are moments, events, and decisions made during the freshman-senior years that we shall cherish forever as joyous memories. Activities give us a chance to do “our own thing” apart from scheduled classes. Talent abounds not only in organizing but also in participating. There is always time to perform in a play, dance at a prom, march in a parade — always time for one’s favorite activity. wa ce Jimmy Ballard sings in the “Hee Haw” show. é | ee� le. + om ZS ve 4 a ‘“ on « Bay a Tages 0 Ae os, arry Dunn, visit the city.

The G-Men and G- Girls always competed well; remained humble in victory and never gave up in defeat. There was always a time for practicing, par- ticipating, or watching.

Education is the primary purpose of Graham High School, believe it or not. Yes, there is a time for classes. Three language experts visited Mrs. E. Jones’ fourth period English class. They are Bongo Thumphead, expert on pre-historic Egyptians; Victoria Wells, PHD of English at Oxford; and Earl Clampett, custodian of the unknown County School System. These “experts” appeared in connection with a skit presented while the class studied the history of the English language.

It was held at Graham High School to pay final recognition to the Class of ’79. Kim Bowen, Chip Hurley and Deanna Williams were Valedictorians and Marti Rich was Salutatorian of their class. The Class of ‘79 will always be a part of Graham High School, and their achievements will long be remembered. Seniors of ’79 gather for the last time to sing with their fellow choir members.

A pep assembly. Pep assemblies were more than just a chance to get out of class. They were impor- tant to the morale of our ath- letes. Knowing that the entire school is behind you was enough to inspire our G-Men and G- Girls to do their best. ee ll SS wee , Setogeirit durthg ‘the long await of a group of our May graduates. — OO laps her hang i, 18 YB ig G-Band at Bristol The Big G-Band participated in many activities through the year.

Last summer both squads attended a Cheer- leading Camp at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Spon- sored by the National Cheer- leading Associa- tion, the squads learned new cheers, chants, stunts, and spirit raising projects. At camp the Varsity won the award of excel- lence which was the top award for overall perform- ance and appear- ance. Also, they won the spirit stick three out of four nights. On the last day of camp, six top squads were selected out of a total of sixty-four. Both the Varsity and J.V. were in the top six. In fact, the J.V. was the only J.V. squad represented in the top six. The Varsity participated in the Garden High School Invitational Cheer- leading Tournament in October when they won the top Trophy. The Varsity, with Melody Stevenson, captain, and Kelly Surber, co-captain, sold sweaters and spirit links to raise money to buy their uniforms. Every spring, the Varsity hold a clinic for Little League Cheerleaders. At this clinic each little girl pays $5.00 per session for instruction and lunch. The squad applies this money toward uniforms, too. The night before all games, the Varsity decorated the boys’ dressing rooms and left extra treats (candy bars and cookies) in the boys’ lockers. In addition, they presented Mr. Football, Mr. and Miss Basketball with a cake: gave Mr. and Miss. Varsity a silver charm. At the final pep rally of the football and basketball season, the underclass Varsity Cheerleaders honored the senior members with a corsage. In March, the Varsity girls conducted a clinie for both the Varsity and J.V. squads. Judges for this tryout were previous cheerleaders and other people in the community familiar with cheerleading. The top eight scores in this tryout determined the Varsity; the next six, the J.V. The J.V. squad, with Cynthia Williams, captain, and Lisa O’Neal, co-captain, was always ready to assist the Varsity. They gave treats to the girls’ basketball and boys’ J.V. teams. Their attitude and willingness to coop- erate and work hard gave good background for advancing to the Varsity.

In addition to the knowledge gained in the class- room, members of the Art Club learned many things from their trip to New York City, the Big Apple. The excitement started as the chartered bus unloaded the students at the Guggenhiem Museum of Modern Art and continued until the bus started back home from the Museum of Natural History, three days later. In between, they saw many famous sites, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center Towers and the largest department store in the world, Macy’s.

Class of 1981 The 1981 Junior class sent sparks flying when they entered the halls of Graham this year. Full of spirit and ready to work, they began by selling mag- azines and records to help pay for the prom. Also, they had floats in the Homecoming and Christ- mas parades. Activities were headed by Terri Nash, president; Donna Moore, vice-president; and Chuck Richardson, secre- tary and treasurer. Spon- sors were Mr. Tom Rohrer, Mrs. Pat Jones, Mrs. Bob- bie Bowman, Mrs. Debbie Hart and Mrs. Rose Ann Goddard. A few minor difficulties held up the production of the Junior class play, but, “Off the Track” was pre- sented February 7-8. As the year closes the Juniors wait with great anticipation till next year when they are seniors. 157 158 William Adams Becky Akers Kim Allen Donnie Amos Melanie Bailey Sherry Bailey Ronald Ball Pam Bandy Bennette Barris Vance Barskill Duane Beck Janine Bertel Kathy Biller Byron Boone Dreama Bowman Joey Bourne Mike Branham Patrice Brown Crissy Busic Richard Carbaugh Tommy Carroll Beth Church Cathy Clark Cathy Cochran O Democracy Ae Competition Cindy Crabtree Dwayne Crewey David Crockett Dede Deskins Randy Dietrich Bobby Dishman Jo Dishman Kathy Dyer Donald Farley Jennifer Faw Marco Fender Jack Fields Michelle Fields Montie Fleshman Tara Fogg Edward Fortune Diana Fox Thomas French Michelle Frescura Anthony Gibson Richard Gibson Tammy Gillenwater David Gillespie Dominique Goninet 159 Seni Nash Was Jimmy Hale Bill Hall six feet,fall.

We have done many things to be proud of, like the win over Beaver in football, the emotion-packed game against Tazewell in the District basketball tournament, the Junior class play, and others that left us with a feeling of accomplish- ment. We on The Graham staff have tried to capture the moments of happi- ness and victory in this annual. We would like to thank the teachers for allowing us to interrupt their classes to take pictures. We want to thank Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Belcher in particular for letting the two of us out of class to do all the little jobs that needed to be done. We thank Coach Carlock for letting us into the football games to take pictures; Mr. Jones for letting us go with the band; Coach Austin and Coach Phelps for letting us go to the away basketball games; Mrs. Welcker for taking pictures we could not take. We thank Mr. Brew- ster, Mr. Meadows, Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Brown for helping with all the problems and answering all the questions. We wish to thank the other members of the staff. We had a great time put- ting the annual together. But most of all , we want to thank Mrs. Emillie Jones. She is the person behind all the other staff members, for Mrs. Jones put in hard work and had much patience with us. We wish everyone the best of every- thing next year, whether at college, at work, or at Graham High.
