Annuel Publication of GREEN BANK HIGH SCHOOL Green Bank, West Virginia Memory . . . ever jleeling as lime . . . may be recalled in the pages of this MOUNTAIN BREEZE 7 Oca TOeax xcmd John Walls llevcner, fellow classmate, who is a polio patient at Milton Hospital, Milton, West Virginia—IVe respectfully dedicate this Mountain Breeze. The first school in the vicinity of Grecnbank was erected in 1780. It was a typical pay school of that period; the fee was paid by boarding the teacher a certain length of time, according to the number of scholars in the school. As Greenbank became a larger place than a one-house-town, a school was erected below the town at what was then known as the Crossroads, and named after the location. The school lated until th„� year 1820, and then a school was built on what is now the property of John R. Gum which was then known as Cart- mill Creek. This school served the purpose of educating the pioneer children for a decade or more. As churches were built with better regard to the density of the people, the session rooms became the school houses, the session room of Liberty Church being one of the most important in Grecnbank Com- munity. The session room schools were usually taught (by the pastor, and if the pastor did not teach, outside teachers would teach a term of three months for a dollar a scholar if there were as many as ten scholars. The session room schools lasted until 1842. when the Greenbank Academy was erected where the Odd Fellows Lodge Hall now stands in Greenbank. This was the first free school and was first taught by Professor Benjamin Arbogast, who had influenced the founding of it. The usual number attending was sixty-five to seventy-five. This school -was part of the academy program of the County which called for the erection of three academies: at Greenbank, Huntersville, and Hillsboro. These three buildings were of brick and were the most modern buildings in the County. Most of the people in Greenbank District sent their children to this school. These scholars boarded at Greenbank for there was no method of conveyance from the more distant homes. When a student had finished this school he could attend Institute for a week, and then pass a test given and prepared by the County Superintendent and become qualified for a teaching position. Greenbank District had its own Board of Education at that time, so the teachers went befora them to qualify for a job. But they had to have as many as two trustees of the three to sign their contract before the job was forthcoming; the salary 'being about sixty dollars per month. A frw months after the Civil War, the building w as remodeled and changed to a two-storied one and renamed the “Advanced School.” It had a high standard of education. The Old Academy served until 1916; the last session being taught by C. E. Flynn, who later became County Superintendent. Its place was taken by the High School. In the year 1916, John W. Goodsell. President of the Board of Education, with the aid of Dr. Leland Moomau, founded the Greenbank High School with the grade school being in the same building. The first levy of money called for enough money to build the part known a few years ago as the high school part, which extended from the front of the building to the present end of the press room. At first high school and grades were taught in the same part, but as enrollment increased, the building was extended to the beginning of the gymnasium, and a few years later the gym and the rooms above it were erected. This last wes completed in 1926. Quite a dispute was aroused over the location of the building, so it was submitted to a popular vote. The main candidates for the election were Cass, Dumore. Durbin, and Greenbank, with the latter coming in ahead with a fair majority. , „ . . . « . , ... „ The first term of school ooened in the fall of 1918 with a small enrollment. The first principal was W. P. Haught of Bristol. W. Va.. with Miss Lucv Meredith, Margaret Hunt, and Lillian iMoomau as assistants. The firs: graduate of the school in 1919 -was Grace Curry, who had attended Marlinton for three years. In the year 1920. there wcr° five graduates: Virginia Dare Moomau. Helen Beard, Bertie Beard, Lillian B:ard and Lucille Oliver. In 1921 there were ten graduates, fifteen in 1922, fourteen in 1923, nineteen in 1924, and so on. N. Phay Taylor, the second principal, was succeeded by T. P. Harwood, who served nine years as princi- oal. Mr. Harwood was replaced in 1931 by John Roach, who served four years. In 1946. Claude A. McMillion became principal and served until his death in the spring of 1945, when Mr. Mack Brooks, Assistant County Superintendent, served until the end of the term. In the fall of 1945, Mr. Virgil B. Harris of Gassaway, W. Va., became principal and has served ever since. . . Basketball started early in the school’s history; football not until 1926—first touchdown for the school was made bv Alen Hiner in a game with White Sulphur. Home Economics was installed about three years af r :he founding of the school. The F. H. A. Club was organized in 1930 and is one of the oldest in the state. In 1930. a separate Vo-Ag building was constructed; the following year a huge garage. Hot Lunch Program for Greenbank High and Grade School was introduced about fifteen years ago. In 1936 a new addition to the main building was made and steam heat was installed. In 1944 the G. H. S. Band was organized under the direction of Miss Anna Margaret Johnson. In 1946 a new floor was laid in the gym. A new heating system installed. Poca- hontas Countv added County Music Supervision in 1948 Miss Dorothy McNeel now serves in that department. In 1947. the P. A. System was installed. . A ...... In 1946. the lunch room was remodeled, enabling the Hot Lunch program to prepare and serve the daily noon meals to over 300 pupils and personnel. With the addition of a large deep freeze, the Vo-Ag department ' udents b richer and freeze the meat served at these meals .Mrs. Rachel Wooddell continues to supervise this urogram. The Countv Health Immunization Program began about 24 years, ago under the supervision of Drs. t C MrO cheon and U. H. Hannah. During the past three years, the Baby Clinic sponsored by the Farm Woman’s Club and directed bv Dr. A. E. Amick of Greenbrier County, has served the community with monthly meetings a the high school during the year. „ . , _ Jn 1950. the G. H.

CUSS HISTORY The great halls of learning known as Green bank High School opened wide its doors in the fall of 1947 to a struggling, bewildered, and somewhat lost looking, would be scholars. This group was us or we. anyhow we were they! We soon learned that the term Green Horn” applied to us in a somewhat realistic manned. Our “orientation,” brief and painful, left u s so deflated that the brightest thing about us was our name—“Freshie.” But once established we strove into the fray with banners flying. We elected the following students to serve us through the first year: President: William Sutton Vice-President: Johnny Brown, Secretary: Marlin Shears, Representative; Kenneth Cassell, Cheerleader: Wanda Belle Tracy. The guiding hands of our class were Miss Post. iMiss Johnson, and Mr. Hill. Along with us came three new teachers: Mr. Mosser, Coach; Miss Parg, Commercial Instructor; and in February, Mr. Roy Anderson arrived to fill the v acancy of Miss Johnson, who left her position to be married. One of the main activities of this year was the taking part in the Homecoming Celebration. Our class, along with the others sponsored a float for th e parade at the half of the Homcoming gams, Marlinton vs. Greenbank. Many of our members joined the F. F. A., F. H. A., Band, and Glee Club. Several of the boys showed real ability in athletics. At Christmas time some of our class members participated in a Christmas Pageant under the direction of Miss Johnson, Mrs. Coyner, Miss Smith, and Mrs. Davis. The three members selected from our class to serve in the Snack and Smack” Club were Betty Ruth Sheets, Betty Lowe and Jo Betty Pritchard. The football boys traveled to Lewisburg to win the Greenbrier Valley Championship. Both F. F. A. and F. H. A. sponsored parties but the big social event of the Freshmen Class was our spring picnic. Thus the school year which seemed so long in the beginning came all too quickly to a close and we’re off for a summer vacation. The following fall our group returned in a somewhat smaller number. The most of us came back with the will to work to make our class one of the best. The officers elected to lead ns through our second year were President: William Sutton. Vice Presi- dent: Betty Ruth Sheets, Secretary-Treasurer: Elaine Peck, Representative, Kenneth Cassell, Cheerleader; Wanda Tracy. Our sponsors for this year were Miss Smith and Mr. Riley. Our first class party was held in the Gymnasiu m in the early fall. It remains in our memories as one of the happiest times of our school days. We welcomed our new music teacher. Miss Ellis from Glenville. The Glee Club presented an Easter Cantata in the churches of different communities. The music festival was held for the first time at Marlinton. The Varsity G” Club was organized this year. All boys earning a letter either from basketball or football w ere eligible for membership. Good behavior and good discipline is an outstanding virtue of our class. Upper classmen----Juniors, w'e can hardly believe that we must put away our childish ways and chil- dish things. This year our number is even smaller, many have dropped by the wayside, however, our class is more determined than ever to make an outstanding place for ourselves in the history of the school. Class officers elected this year were: President William Sutton, Vice-President: Betty Ruth Sheets, Secretary: Elaine Peck, Treasurer; Grey Cassell, Representative; Kenneth Cassell, and Cheerleader: Bar- bara How’ell. Our class sponsors were Mrs. Coyner and Mr. Mosser. CLASS HISTORY We welcomed the new teachers, a new music teacher, -Miss Stephaine Bendix from New York, new librarian, Miss Lambert and an additional social study teacher, Mr. McElwee of Dumore, a former graduate of G.H.S.. Mr. Raymond Swadley, a graduate of W. Va. University, filled Mr. Smiths’ position as Vo-Ag instructor, while Mr. Smith was completing work for his Masters Degree at W. Va. University. He re- mained on the teaching staff after Mr. Smith returned. During the summer, fire escapes were installed to insure the safety of the students. In the early part of our Junior year we held our Junior party. It was a very enjoyable occasion. We had a successful year in both football and basketball. Both teams won high honors for them- selves. The Junior English Class debated with the Senior Government Class on the question of Socilized Medi- cine. with our Junior English Class winning. Following the custom of the past Juniors were h ost at the Prom given for the seniors. Happy momories of this occasion will linger long with us. When presentation of awards were made at graduation, Jo Betty Pritchard was chosen by the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary to attend Girls State Camp at Jackson’s Mill. With our senior year challenging us we worked eagerly on. Struggling, striving and ever pushing onward we have finally reached our goal. At last we have reached the year to which all our past efforts have led. Here we are dignified seniors! Unbelieveable but true. Since our freshmen days we have grown to maturity so that we are hardly recognizable. The years that seemed so long at first have passed us by with fleeting wings. We realize now that our happy schools days are passing all too quickly. The days of this, our senior year, were packed with excitment and new adventure. At class election the following were elected to serve us through our last year. President: William Sut- ton, Vice-President: Betty Ruth Sheets, Secretary: Elaine Peck, Treasurer: Gray Cassell, and Cheerleader. John Brown. Our class sponsors were Mr. Blackhurst and Miss Parg. We warmly welcomed the following new faculty members. Mrs. Florence Bailey, Music Instructor, Mr. John Towsend, Social Study Teacher and Band Director. Mr. Ralph Micheal, Librarian, Mr. John Micheal. Social Study Teacher, replacing Mr. McElwee who was called into the service in the early fall. The first Homecoming Dance was held in the Gymnasium after the Homecoming Game with Webster Springs. King and Queen of the Homcoming were Frank Collins and Betty Ruth Sheets. The sad event of our senior year was the news that our dear friend, classmate, and football star. Johnny Hevener. was stricken with Polio. This deeply touched the hearts of the Football Squad and urged th:m on to victory. This was a successful year for both football and basketball. We were especially proud of our basketball team, who went through the season undefeated, but best of all, were Class B State Runners-Up. During January our school strived diligently to raise money for the polio drive. Our class came in ahead with $179.86. The winner receiving for its efforts a free party. The highlights of our senior year were the d ays we received our class rings, cards, senior pictures and announcements. We deeply appreciated the Prom given to us by the juniors. This was the big social event of the year and many happy memories will linger in our hearts. Last but not least came our senior sneak day, Baccalaureate, Class night, and finally Commencement. These nights were filled with both laughter and tears. Thus ended our high school days; but not our school day memories. We can truthfully say from the bottc m of our hearts that we are proud to be members of the graduating class of 1951. We look forward to th days ahead, but we shall never cease to recall the many happy days we have spent in the halls of G.H.S. SliSIII!! PLAY The annual Senior Play teas presented April 13. The three-act mystery “Going, Going, Gone, by B. M. Bowman, was a pronounced success. The outstanding feature of the play was the excellent balance of dramatic skill. Each member of the cast gave a performance of superior quality. . . Synopsis of the Play: When the hand of an Egyptian Mummy is found in a cave near the American Fishing Lnd e of the Stewart’s it suddenly arouses a great Hurry of in’crest. From far away Egypt and points of the United States strange characters arrive. All have a single purpose; to gain possession of the hand! Th • trouble is that the hand has disappeared. For additional complications a banshee has been wailing about the premises ever since the hand was first found. Dad Haves is certain the waiting is that of the dead Egyptian in search of its missing hand. The two Egyptians add interest to the search by offering large sums for the recovery of the hand. The reason (or such value is not discovered until a new arrival discloses that, clenched in the fist is the secret key to discovery of a fabulously rich tomb. Both Egyptians prove to be crooks and the hand, found at last, is restored to the rightful place. Oriental mystery is furnished by Harran and larak. Dad Hayes and the Tacketts make comedi enough to keep everyone amused. For the romantic there, is love interest furnished by June, Sue. Cliff and Jerry. In short the play offers a variety of entertainment that pleases any audience member. CLIFF STEWART ... JERRY DANNER .... SUE STEWART ___ JUNE SANDS .... JASPER BIXBY .... KIT HARDING...

ADVANCED HOME ECONOMICS CLASS FUTURE FARMERS WHAT IT IS—WHAT IT DOES The Future Farmers of America or “F. I'. A.” es it is commonly known, is the state and national organization of. by, and for boys studying voc-ti onal. agriculture in public secondary schools.

SAFETY CLUB The class in Driver’s Education was added to o ur curriculum in the school year of 1947-4B. Since then, more than a hundred students have been trai ned in operation skills as well as aided in develop- ing proper driving attitudes. Such a course in our secondary schools has been necessitated by the tremendous social problem which has resulted from the large increase of vehicles using our highways. If the school system has as one of its primary aims the solving of a community’s problems then certainly a class in Driver’s Education has an important position in its curriculu m. It is not a first purpose of this club to train the student in various highway skills. It is rather a prime objective to inculcate upon the mind of the prospective driver that there exist highway man- ners as well as table manners which if practiced lead toward safer and more pleasant driving.
