Everyone knows that we come in odd sizes, from different back- grounds, and have var- ied tastes. Some of us like athletics, some aca- demics, and still others like the arts.

Spirit is one thing that makes us proud to say that we are a part of our alma mater. 2 Lookat Us! Look at Us! Look at us! We’ve had our growing pains, but we are GHS and proud. Last year, the Evaluation Committee from the South- ern Association looked at and offered suggestions for improving our curriculum, activities, buildings, and per- sonnel.

From leather to felt to straw, Danny Russell, Bill Hall, and Duane Beck are proud of the look they create. A down-filled vest, plaid shirts, and jeans add to their western wear. Western Hats and Campus Plaids — We Got Them All We wear a variety of clothes. The everyday casual look consists mainly of jeans with coordinating sweaters, shirts, and shoes. One popular sweater is the soft velour and for both guys and girls, the red and white GHS sweater bright- ens any day while showing extra school spirit. The tennis shoes we wear on our Cas- ual days range in every possible make, color, and size. From Nikes, to Con- verse, to Sears, each has its own identity and look. Daily we students lean toward another fast developing style — the preppie look of dock side shoes, Izod and Oxford shirts, and khaki pants. The Izod 4 Clothes We Wear craze not only offers the little alligator, that ‘mark of prestige,’ on shirts, but also belts, raincoats, key chains, and even socks. We not only have a casual but also a dressy side — one that grows with each passing year. Girls are wearing dresses, velvet blazers, wool skirts, high heels, and boots while the guys are wearing dress pants with coordinating shirts, and either crew-necked or V-necked sweat- ers. Western wear — cowboy boots and hats, bibs, corduroys, flannel shirts — are part of the clothes we wear. Bibs, made of different materials, come in an assortment of colors as do corduroys. To add that final touch, many guys and some girls wear cowboy hats and boots. Coats are part of dressing and we def- initely have a variety of these. For dressy wear, girls turn to the long winter coats or the short leather or fur jackets; guys wear overcoats or down-filled jackets. For everyday wear, we turn to the ever-faithful lettermen and band jackets to ski jackets and vests. We are individu- als who wear clothes that reflect our personalities. . | ‘{) ¢ More of the western look as Susan Bush and Monique DeAngelis sport straw hats for pre- game activities prior to the Grundy game.

Many of our par- ents rode the bus or walked, because it was a real privilege to drive a car. Today, though, we drive our own car, ride a bus, or walk. More teens are driving smaller cars than’ ever because of today’s fuel cost; any- where from $1.15 to a high $1.40 a gallon. Some students refuse econom- ics and still drive gas-guzzling sports cars, trucks, and four-wheel drives. We also see the “buy American made cars’ theme in our parking lot as we view small economy cars like Chevette, Mustang, and Monza. The American made gas hog is also popu- lar with our students as a variety of Camaros, Firebirds, Jeeps, and trucks fill our lot every morning. Daily we use all means of transportation to carry our sleepy bodies to first-period classes. We drive a wide variety of vehicles to school and Andy Maitland likes to begin his day with a drive in his brown Scout. 6 ‘Transportation We Use Diana Puckett, freshman, waves a cheery good morning to her friends as she and Connie Vance arrive at the bus port, courtesy of A fun way to travel to school is in Jim Penning- ton’s red Chevrolet pick-up truck.

At the time, reading little red-covered books about Dick and Jane and writing the numbers from one to ten seemed to be difficult chores. Our parents, however, always helped by reminding us when to get busy and by checking on our progress. As we continued through school, our lessons became more difficult and we had to devote more time to our studies. | Although our parents were always around to help, the main responsibility to get our homework done lay with us. enberry take time out to smile at a joke. Senior and Junior term papers use many encyclopedias, card catalogs, and hours of work. Now that we have reached high school, we have generally accepted the fact we will have at least a small amount of studying to do each night, and we find that we can no longer rely on our par- ents to keep track of it. Each day, it is our responsibility to set aside a time and place to study. As we look around the school, we find that some of us choose to spend the morning, before class begins, sitting in the bandroom hall putting the finishing touches on the day’s homework. Others prefer the more studious atmosphere of the library and appreciate the many LOOK AT US! eae af Seige ae . “i Pe pT As J 4 Home at last, Ronnie Tabor checks over geometry homework at his desk.

A few of us work better sprawled in our car with the doors open and the radio blaring. However, for especially tough assignments, we sometimes find that a quiet, well-lit desk in the privacy of our own room best serves the pur- pose. Ultimately, it does not matter how we get our homework done as long as we do it. The time spent in studying will even- tually result in the good grades for which we all strive.

LOOK AT US! Playtime Is a Change of Pace Whether it’s goofing off or playing a sport, we students like to break away from it all. Due to a longer lunch period, we find a bit more time to relax and play our favorite songs on the jukebox. Although lunch study is intended for us to finish homework or prepare for a test, many of us use this time to play cards, talk to friends, sleep, or just be silly. While some of us like to stay in bed an extra twenty minutes, others come to school “bright and early” to get in a quick game of chess before first period. We put in a hard day’s work at school and we like to relax by playing pool, prac- ticing techniques of frisbee throwing, or listening to our ‘“souped-upped”’ Hi-Fi systems. We spend our summer days at the beach or lake enjoying the sun and the surf before a new school year begins.

These are the moments when we find time for each other. Whether we go to the movies, sleep late, attend church, or just laze around the house, good times are to be had on our weekends. A weekend gives us the time we need to spend with that special girl- friend or boyfriend. Cheering our G-Men on to victory, we attend ballgames through the rain, sleet, snow and dark of night. Others enjoy the presence of their family by going out to eat, seeing a movie, or just staying home.

Although the work is demanding, vol- unteers find it greatly rewarding. The warm feeling of helping someone or saving a life makes the hours well spent. Teachers are also involved in com- munity services.

Cathy Brown, one of our graduates, works at Peters Mining Equipment, while other graduates work at Southwest Bank and Randy’s Restaurant. Participating in the community by starting in high school helps us in later years. While working as a volun- teer, we are actually involved in many aspects of the community.

Enthusiasts Put Best Foot Forward Even though we played, worked, or slept away the summer, we liked the busy schedule that school offered. We awaited the return of the football sea- son, for that brought pep assemblies, spirit contests, and a homecoming that was staged in a downpour of rain. The presidential election (we had our own mock election), the immunization clinic, the band, the choir, the Theater Arts Class, the Junior Class Play, the Catching a few pointers from “Hot Rod” Hun- ley is Dwayne Quesenberry during a_ fall assembly. Hunley performed at our school with several members of our own basketball team while assisting in an advertising cam- paign for the United Way program. SCA-FTA-NHS Clubs, and the Rich- mond Symphony Quartet brought spe- cial programs. We extended classroom learning by participating in a School Fair. We received special honors in contests, such as forensics, Voice of Democracy, and Matheletics. In February we elected a Miss GHS and honored her and her court with a dance. In May we danced away hours at ped the Junior-Senior Prom. Finally, we sadly said good-bye to the Class of 1981. We had fun preparing for and partici- pating in the varied activities which enriched the long school days. When it was time to come back to school from the restful summer, we put our best foot forward and it showed in everything that we did.

Most of the couples who went to the prom thor- oughly enjoyed their special night out.

The activities were highlighted as Danny White discussed “Secrets of the Universe” in his saluta- tory address. Cleo Lawson Mitchell scholar, Mary Beth Rusyniak, centered her valedictory remarks on the topic, “Gather All Our Courage.” After all of the speeches were given, the awards were presented by representatives of local civic organizations.

Both of these days were exciting but could not compare with the fun of Western Day. Cowboy hats and boots were everywhere!! Receiving two free tickets to a football game for being “Best Dressed” was Vanessa Wolford. Class Color Day was also a big success with each class proudly wearing its class colors. Mrs. Hart’s homeroom received a trophy for decorating a door which best represented the GHS spirit. The Keyet- tes successfully planned the Homecom- ing Parade with each class and club par- ticipating by entering a car or float in the event. Following the ballgame a dance sponsored by the National Honor Society was held. Pleased with her homeroom’s first place win in the door decorating contest, Jennifer Wyatt shows Jimmy Bailey the finished product.

Our Extra Hours Make Us Sparkle Looking down the halls, long after the final bell of the day, we usually saw ac- tive students doing their own thing. Before the state math contest, students returned to school one night a week to prepare. ‘“The Voices of Graham” put in after-hours to polish performances. Members of the Festival Play cast had many after school rehearsals to perfect their one act “Crawling Arnold.” The cheerleaders, dedicated to their cause, stayed many afternoons making colorful signs to promote spirit in pep assemblies where they created daring mounts and special skits for our athletes. The long, hard hours of practice paid off for our G-men and G-girls in top performances in all sports. The SCA was always busy preparing assemblies and events to give us a break from classes. A statewide math contest ranked our students on top. Ronnie Tabor placed first in level 3-AA, while Gina Popp earned eighth place in level 5-AA.

As in the other sketches, the success of “The Bremen Town Musicians” depended on the hard work of the stage crew. Sherri Thomason and Cathy Cruise did a fine job in the wardrobe department creating the unique costumes under the supervision of junior sponsor, Mrs. Alice Barnett. Several hours were spent applying stage make-up with the help of Kim Williams, Denise Daniel, Nancy Stacy, Kelly Baker, and Lori Berry. Eddie Hall and Doug Hoover took charge of stage props as Darryl Sarver and Tim Roark controlled stage lights. Tommy Martin managed sound effects, and Debbie Lawson, Rosa Lewis, and Sherry Holston organized publicity and programs.

Aesop Goes Mod on Empty Stage The student body gave the Junior Class Play a standing ovation; proving that it was one of the most successful plays in the history of our school. Directed by Eleanor Douthat and student teacher, Lori Makela, “Story Theatre” consisted of ten popular stories from the Grimm Brothers’ collection and Aesop's Fables. Among these were ‘Henny Penny,” “The Golden Goose,” and “The Tortoise and The Hare.” Heavy make-up, outlandish costumes, and exaggerated pantomime all contributed to the appeal of the play. Students were featured in character roles: Susan Baker as Henny Penny, Ron Harrell as Cocky Locky, Beth Ann Blankenship as the Flounder and Marie Hamilton as The Maiden. The proceeds went to the prom. “They'll cook you and eat you,” the old woman, Robin Jackson, warns the maiden, Beth Gillespie, in ‘The Robber Bridegroom.” Junior Class Play 39 40 Miss GHS and Her Court Each year the student body nominates five senior girls for Miss GHS.

We Get Back More Than We Give We were definitely into sports whether we were participants or spec- tators, we all enjoyed being competitive. Sports were popular all year round. During our summer vacation we en- joyed such sports as swimming, golfing, and skateboarding. Our school athletic season began with football. (We had a great year— 6 wins Both the girls’ and guys’ track teams had a outstanding season this year. Here Elaine Hall gives it all she’s got at the Tazewell meet in the and 4 losses.) The end of football ushered in the beginning of winter sports such as basketball, wrestling, and volleyball.

A time of condition- ing, the team practiced six days a week in long, hot two-a-day sessions; during the three weeks, the Women’s Booster Club prepared nutritious protein- packed lunches. Basically, the morning agility drills, seat rolls, grass drills, and other quickness exercises were tough at first, but as the days progressed we found we were quicker, although sore and tired. We devoted the afternoons to learning plays and positions. When school began, we moved from drills to pads. Daily after school, we rushed to the locker room to dress and to head into the heat and dust of the practice field. Three hours later, forty guys trudged to the locker room for showers. Our hard work climaxed at eight p.m. on August 29th as we met the Bluefield Beavers head on. The score, 19-7, did not indicate the fierce play or deter- mination of our team. The power of our defensive play was evident the follow- ing morning when we compared bruises. We bounced back the following week to overwhelm John Battle in the final quarter, 15-6. Again our crunching defense led the way as John Battle never crossed mid-field after their only scoring drive. Offensively, our newly- n District Games found passing attack prevailed as sophomore quarterback Eddie Neel passed for 85 yards, the decisive offen- sive game margin.

Last year Mike wa’ selected to the position of catcher on the Secon All Area Team. | Benette Barrus, Miss Basketball, participated on the JV team her freshman year and on the Varsity squad her remaining years in school. As Captain of the team she was elected to the All Area Second Team and has lettered each year. Benette is a guard. Her second title, Miss Varsity, was earned because of her participation in track, volleyball and basketball. Fellow teammate, Tammy Jones said, “she always gave our basketball team a 100% effort. We team members chose her to be our captain because of her ability to lead. She is a friend and a leader off and on the court.” “Benette is our ideal,” said Lisa Lester, a freshman who served on the volleyball team with Benette. ‘Even though she was super on the court she never failed to honor her own classes. She was consistently on the honor roll, so she is a person to follow. We like her as a person and as a fellow athlete.” : Not only was Chris Morris chosen Mr. Football 1980-81 but he was also honored by being named to the All Tazewell County Team, All Southwest District Second Team, and the All County Team as an offensive end for his four years of dedication to the football team.

Not only does each cheerleader spend every week-day Prachi, but also she sometimes arene about it in her sleep. Working all twelve months these girls devote much of their time (six-hundred hours) to practicing, painting signs, attending ballgames, planning skits and pep assemblies, and most of all, promoting spirit. Not only do the girls learn cheering techniques but also they learn the impor- tance of friendship. Each girl expresses her desire to become a cheerleader in the spring when try-outs are held. Those who make the squad begin practicing immediately to prepare for summer camp. This year the squad attended the National Cheerleaders Association Camp at Appalachain State. The group returned with twelve Superior Rahbane! a spirit stick, aah the Award of Excellence which was given to the most outstanding squad at camp.

Varsity Cheerleaders 63 WwW 6 Six Little Gals Cheer for a Win Along with the Varsity Cheerleaders the Junior Varsity Squad also attended camp at Appalachian State. They returned with eight superior ribbons and a spirit stick; in addition, the squad was selected to compete for the Award of Excellence. They were the only Junior Varsity Squad at camp to attain such an honor. After returning from camp the J.V. cheerleaders immediately began practicing for the girl’s basketball games. Cheering at two games a week and keeping up school work is no easy job. Not only do they support the girl's basketball team, but also the boy’s basketball team. They work closely with the Varsity Squad preparing pep assemblies and painting signs.

As Men of Action We Spark Our Days With Meetings Through organizations we demanded that our classmates and parents look at us! We were involved and proud of each club. Our clubs had a purpose; members grew and learned as they participated. We learned about unity through clubs. We discovered that twenty people were better than two people if we wanted something done. Those who met the demands of the club found that they were involved and were not just a name Western Extravaganza — Hats, boots, scarves and guns are the accessories of these partners.

The busy and hardworking Student Cooperative Association members, with President Donnie Tabor working to bet- ter solve issues of the students, set the pace for all other service clubs. The Junior Civitans, another service club, conducted a Thanksgiving program that involved the school. The admission to the program was a can of food. This resulted in 700 cans of food which was distributed to the needy in the homes of the community. Besides the service clubs, both the. school and the community benefited directly from co-curricular clubs such as Future Business Leaders of America; from extracurricular clubs such as the Pep Club whose members supported the teams at all games; from cultural clubs such as the Band Club whose members participated in all parades. There was a club for each of us. 4 are dressed for the Western Day sponsored by the cheerleaders along with the Pep Club dur- ing Homecoming week. “Get off that drum” screams Nancy Stacy gestur- ing for emphasis.

Learning new cheers is a major concern of the Pep Club members. ‘Hip, Hip Hooray’ Boosts Our Team With the Pep Club’s aid, our basket- ball court, football field, and pep assemblies have been bright spots in a highly successful sporting season. One section of the stands always completely full was where our “Spirit Boosting” Pep Club sat. Their enthusiastic cheers and excited support was a needed morale booster. Numerous posters in the gym and at Mitchell Stadium sported firey slogans such as, “Turn on the Power’ and “We're on Top, Can’t be Stopped.” These masterpieces were the contribu- tion of the members of the Pep Club.

Funds from a spirit link cheerleader project were used to purchase a new set of dry paint colors especially designed for the intricate chore of spirit sign designs. Spirit links, posters and signs used in the halls and cafeteria were also used to decorate the wire fences at Michell Stadium on game night.

On the float, a snow castle constructed of styrofoam symbolized the parade theme, Winter Wonderland. The group made plans for a trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring. Bake sales were also planned to help pay for needed supplies. The SCA sponsors many activities throughout the school year. Many of these activities not only involve the school but others as well. The Christmas toy drive includes the many needy children in our community as well as the students who bring the toys. The SCA tries to involve everyone in the school through the annual variety show which is usually a success with all at school. All organizations need good leadership to suc- ceed.

Government Runs Our School Life The Student Council Association is the link between student and_ ad- ministration. Under the leadership of president, Donnie Tabor, the organiza- tion is composed of elected SCA offi- cers, homeroom representatives, club presidents, and class officers. A promise-filled campaign week is a spring activity. Candidates not only fill the hands of potential voters with a mass of pencils, key-rings, and assorted candies, but also the ears of the elec- torate are filled with promises of future school improvements. Elections are run according to na- tional criteria, as we have our campaign managers, exuberant pre-election pro- grams, and voting areas. In addition to hosting the faculty to an after school mini-buffet, the group organized a Student Relations Commit- tee to handle student to student and stu- dent to faculty problems. A new innovation this year was the appointment of Mike Simpson as ‘House and Grounds’ committee chair- man. Because of the often messy condi- tion of the grounds, Mike was to oversee the condition of the school property. Election and presentation of the Miss GHS Queen and her court was a major activity of the SCA during the winter semester. Mrs. Carole Hutchinson is sponsor of the state affiliated organization.

Civitans held two raffles for game balls with proceeds of the October raffle go- ing to Harvey Willis, a boy with Leukemia. They also found time to collect eyeglasses for the needy and to put a car in the Homecoming parade. In November, they sponsored their annual Thanksgiving program for the student body and collected cans of food for ad- mission. Members rang bells for the Salvation Army and adopted a grand- parent at the local nursing home, in December. They collected tin cans, in March, to raise money, to sponsor Julie Rusyniak in a 25 hour Dance-a-thon held in Canada.

The selling of mums during Homecoming helped provide the Health Careers Club with money to support their ac- tivities. In November, they decorated walls and doors at local hospitals and nursing homes. In the spring favor loaded trays were taken to patients for a brighter day. Taking happiness and love to the lonely and needy was the Bible Club’s first priority. In December the club collected items to donate to the Southwest Virginia State Hospital in Marion. To spread the Christmas Spirit locally they took fruit to pa- tients at Bluefield Multi-care and sang carols in the town Christmas parade. fi 102 Health Careers Club Each first Tuesday the club met to discuss how they could help others in our community.

To Get the Sums Add the Nouns Each year certain students are picked from th e math classes to compete in dif- ferent categories of the Matheletics con- test. The preparation for this annual event is a long and hard one, but the rewards are worth it. Our math program offers each the op- portunity to elect the courses which will help him in his chosen field. General math is geared to the student who needs a basic review; algebra for the advanced. The mysteries of grammar are unraveled in the English classes as each reviews the basic parts of speech and proceeds to the more complex areas of verbals and word usage.

The Science Department offered physical and biological sciences. The department was a four year one which gave each student the opportunity to learn about science. The freshmen had a choice between Earth Science and Biology I. These two classes differ great- ly in that physical science is the study of the earth’s formation and Biology is the study of organisms which inhabit the earth. Other students had a choice bet- ween Anatomy, Chemistry, Physics, or Biology II. All of these classes, with the exception of Anatomy, included ex- periments and investigation which re- quired the mind to question all data. Anatomy students studied the _ in- tricacies of the human body, including organs, tissues, and muscles.

Here, Brian Mat- tox and Tommy Carroll search the Ad-Builders for a Dennis-the Menace logo to place in a Dairy Queen ad. After they collect all the components of the ad, Brian and Tommy will paste them on a white sheet of paper in an appealing arrangement the size of the final ad. Mike Mullins also aids in the production of the finished ad by verifying the addresses and phone numbers that will appear. Accuracy is a most important factor in producing a paper. Many hours are spent to achieve a paper of high quality, from the first story idea to the finished product; a six page issue on sale monthly during the school year.

As every member performed his duties on the staff, the annual slowly took shape. When the final deadline was in the mail headed for Dallas, each member of the staff gave a sigh of relief. Under the leadership of Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Welcker, our advisors, and editors, Michelle Frescura and Millie Hankla, the staff preserved the highlights of the 1980-81 school year. When the finished books arrived they were proud to say “Look at Us!” COs After the work has been done and the pages have been sent to the printers, the process of waiting for their return begins. The pages return one by one to be proofed by the staff. Nancy Hill is shown here proofing one of these “brownlines” with Bobby Riffe, Jeff Light, and Becky Hobbs looking on to help.

We Push Aside the Hours to Work, Play, and Study People were special because they made the school. Desks, chalk, and blackboards were the window dressing for learning. These materials were necessary; however, we remembered the people who were fantastic. We liked watching them. Teachers gave us opportunities to par- ticipate in choir and athletics besides regular classroom work.

There were other times when people wanted to be alone in the library reading or studying. We worried about jobs, weekends and sometimes about our school work. We shared everything important and some things not so important. Everyone contributed to a great year. It is fun to share report cards with a friend. At least Mark Farmer and Monica Bailey think so. Mark seems happy with his grades.

Whenever Mr. Brewster is away, Mr. Meadows continues the duties of the administration. His job as assistant principal includes helping those who may have discipline problems or conflicts with others, and supervising teachers with homebound students. Our Administration Is the Hub of Our School! Leadership abilities of Mr. James L. Brewster and Mr. Roy Meadows helped them to keep the school year organized and efficient. As the year began, they welcomed us back to the classroom, introduced the new Tazewell County Hand- book, which included rules and regulations acceptable in the school, led our teacher in service meetings, coun- ciled with parents and students, arranged time for our weekly club meetings and other special events, and still had time to greet us all witha smile. Morning announcements, bell schedules for those snowy days, and teacher assignments necessary to the smooth operation of our days were also the responsibili- ty of the administration. Administration Smiling Faces Always on Tap to Greet a Day According to Mr. Glen Carlock, ‘The Guidance staff believes that each stu- dent should have an educational plan to provide for both academic and voca- tional growth. Its objective is to help each student achieve a clearer understanding of his strengths and limitations.

Planning several dishes and a dessert for three lunch periods every day was not an easy task. We greatly appreciate their willingn ess to assist us. The custodians were also important service personnel. On call almost every hour of the day and night, they were around to help with any emergency. We regret that Mr. Pruett had to leave after the first semester since he provided a great service to our school.

Outstanding Seniors Each year the senior class nominates five boys and five girls for most outstanding seniors. In the final run off election, the class of 1981 named Donna Moore and Mike Branham the class choice as outstanding senior girl and boy. The election and tabulation of votes was con- ducted by the sponsors of the class. Donna and Mike are worth looking at! RPI EEE IER ED EIT ISLES TIES TE ILI ENE EE ES EPRICE AN ET) Fellow seniors offer congratulations to Donna Moore and Mike Branham after the announcement of their election as outstanding seniors. “I am proud to represent the senior class of 1981 as an outstanding senior. Thanks for selecting me to hold this honor,” says Mike as he shakes hands with Chris Morris. Excellent vocalist, Donna Moore, was elected most outstanding senior girl by her classmates. Donna was a member of “The Voices in Color” during her sophomore year; attended District VIT All Regional Chorus, and performed with the choir in her senior year. This outstanding senior traveled to Europe with the All-Student U.S.A. Band and: Chorus on a 1980 concert tour. Donna's academic record was comparable to her music. Her membership in the Lewis N. Dalton Chapter of the National Honor Society was only the beginning of her achievements. Donna was named “commended student” by the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Black Students for her performance on the PSAT N MSQT. In addition, she was named to the 1980-81 edition of Who's Who Among American High School Students. She won various business and math contests. Donna's school spirit shone on “G-men day” when she won the prize in her junior and senior years for piling on everything in sight that had a ‘“G” on it. She played volleyball for two years and helped with statistics the re- maining two. She received a medal for playing interclass basketball in her sophomore year. Donna was president of the Bible Club in her senior year, as well as claiming membership in FBLA, FHA, SCA, had a leading role in the junior class play, and served on a prom committee. Our outstanding senior boy was active sportsman Mike Branham. He was on both the basketball and baseball teams for four years; he lettered in both these sports. His exceptional skill as catcher for the baseball team resulted in his being selected for the all area team dur- ing his junior year. Mike was not only outstanding in sports, but maintained an ex- cellent academic record. He was consistently on the honor roll and was inducted into the Lewis N. Dalton Chapter of the National Honor Society. In his junior year, Mike won third place over all in the school after participating in a series of math contests. He was selected to the 1980- 81 edition of Who's Who Among American High School Students, represented our school in The American Legion's Boys’ State, and was a member of the Student Relations Committee. “Look at us, we have chosen the best.” Outstanding Seniors 1 ) 1 William Adams Becky Akers Kim Allen Donnie Amos Donna Anderson Melanie Bailey Sherry Bailey Ronald Ball Pam Bandy Once Upona Time We Were Freshmen Once upon a time when they were lowly freshmen, Jack Fields and Joey Bourne helped smash an old car, an SCA sponsored project, to raise morale for the opening football bout with Blue- field High sana We lost!

It was their job to clean the auditorium in preparation for the Baccalaureate. Flowers for the Baccalaureate and Commencement were provided by the sophomore class. It was also their duty to clean and decorate the gym for the Commencement Exercises. Although this is hard work, the class delighted in joining together for the first time to serve our school. 180 Sophomores Sophomores Randy Mathena and Melvin Madison, manager of football and basket- ball, were absent on the day regular pic- tures were taken.

A Supportive Community Earns Our Applause The businesses in our community looked at us, and we looked at them and thanked them. We thanked them because if the supportive businessmen had not bought ads, some of our students could not have purchased the yearbook, for the cost would have been prohibitive. We thank the businessmen for their friendly and cooperative attitude. We urge our school to patronize their businesses. The student body shops at the stores, and some of the businesses employ our students. This year the completion of the Mercer Mall brought a variety of new businesses to our area. We all enjoyed shopping at our new mall, but we still supported our downtown merchants. COE, DECA, and other students like making extra spending money by working part-time during school and fulltime in the summer months. Before long we will be their future customers mh... 2 won when we have finished our schooling and have established families and homes of our own. It is difficult for a school to exist without an interested community, and we are lucky that our community takes such a big interest in us and offers financial and moral support. With a community such as ours, we look forward with anticipation toward the future. Looking over some on-sale jeans, Kenny Bourne, owner of the Jean Barn, a favorite downtown shop, prepares his stock. Mr. Klien demonstrates the loading procedure of an old musket to Robbie Cook, Robbie Peery, and Roba Kidd. Dry Gulch Junction’s owner, Ron Klien, fre- quently brings an “era of the past” to our new Mercer Mall with his historic displays.

The girls prepared treats for the children during Halloween and Easter Baskets during April. The kids also en- joyed a night out as the guests of the club for dinner at the Pizza Hut. Ellen Crabtree. The Debonaires sold candy and doughnuts to pay for their half of the Christmas For- mal. To pay their share for the beach, each girl sold a variety of items. They did not work just for themselves, however, for they performed service pro- jects throughout the year to help the needy. Funfilled Social Clubs Add Sparkle to Our Lives Although the Debonaires and Sub- Debs are two very different clubs, each strive for the same goals — to promote close, sisterly friendships among their members that will last in as well as out of school and to aim for high social standards. The Sub-Debs, who also sponsor the Children’s Temple Mission, were led by Rhonda Heldreth, president; Susan Kessler, vice-president; Sherry Bailey, secretary; Millie Hankla, treasurer; and sponsors, Cherri Arkell, Kay Eakes, and Brenda Phillips. Supervising activities for the Debonaires were Chrissy Busick, presi- dent; Julie Rusyniak, vice-president; Stephanie Hurt, secretary; Randa Pat- ton, treasurer; and sponsors, Ginny Beaver, Rose Ann Goddard, Charlene Hurt, and Barbara Nash. Everyone appears all smiles; and why not? These girls are proud of the evening they worked so hard to make a success. Gathered around Miss Sub- Deb, Rhonda Heldreth; and her escort Richard Boone, are Lynn Lawson and Randy White, last year’s queen, Kathy Baker and escort Mike Crockett, Pat Crockett and Larry Dunn, Lori Berry and Jim Brigham, Donna Backus and Tommy Roher, Bonnie Ledford and Barry Ellison, and Susan Kessler and Estel Singleton.

We Remember Our Joys, Sorrows and Triumphs With the closing of another term, we remembered our joys, our sorrows, our triumphs, and our failures. We felt many emotions; we had received praise for our accomplishments; we learned from our varied experiences, even our mistakes. Freshmen became acquainted with high school life and labor; sophomores established their “place in the sun.” Juniors busied themselves with the class play, the prom, and rings. Seniors Taking a break from their prom entrance com- mittee work are Millie Hankla, Stephanie _ Hurt, and Randa Patton. These girls are just a prepared for the future and the long- awaited diploma. Every activity made the year exciting. Homecoming 1980, Miss GHS dance, and the prom led to that final day. By participating in clubs, organizations, and sports we learned to give of ourselves. All activities were fun, and we were glad that we were involved. This year we elected our fortieth president, brought our hostages home, spent hours watching Shogun, marveled YL nen ot bes | th i Pane ‘whe Tee G2 Bias. the scenes preparation for the May Junior- Senior Prom. at Mt.

It was a year to look at and to remember. ; Before seniors knew it, the year was over. They looked at themselves, happy yet sad that they must go their separate ways. As they looked at the year, they found it fabulous! “Is this the book you wanted?” asks Bonnie Led- ford of Kenneth Jackson. Lockers crowded with books are a necessary part of school. Closing Divider 237 Bells and Books Are Put Aside The year has flown by, but the class of 1981 has left its impression on all of us. As we prepare to go our separate ways, whether to go to school, to get a job, or to get married, it is impossible not to feel sad, but we are always joined in spirit and memories. Three of our students give their version of life after high school. “On June 10, 1981 I am going to marry my fiance of eight months, Danny Kitts. I'm very excited at the prospect of set- ting up house,” said Sherry Rose. “I feel that a college education is necessary to prepare me for the future. I plan to attend Montreat-Anderson Col- lege where I expect to obtain a degree in Christian Education,” stated Debbie Murray. “IT feel lucky to have found a pro- fitable use for my vocational skills with a job at N. and W,” Anthony Gibson confided. Annuals are the most exciting part of the senior year. The annual contains memories we may have forgotten over the year.

As seniors we view the world as our very own to conquer and enjoy. We pause briefly to reflect on the pride of accomplishments, the excitement of fall evenings at Mitchell Stadium, throbbing feet at the end of a band festival, excite- ment of a fine play, dreams of the long- awaited prom, the quiet of our Bac- calaureate, and the tears shed at graduation. Made only of paper, images, and ink, this yearbook will serve as a reminder of our time together. Our eyes are focus- ed on tomorrow. Look out, world, here we come!
