Greenbank High School - Mountain Breeze Yearbook (Greenbank, WV)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1953 volume:

foreword To perpetuate the memories of Green Bank High School, which we shall always cherish and revere; and to record for ourselves and posterity a complete episode in the life of a growing institution, has been our pur- pose. It is equally difficult for a year book staff to produce a yearbook that measures up to each individual's ideals. Some will expect to look to the staff for a yearbook that neither insults their ability by seeking too little nor discourages them by seeking too much. It was for this lattergroup 1953 Mountain Breeze was completed. If after graduation nostalgia sets in, peruse this volume of words and pictures to rekindle the memories of yester year. May these pages reawaken fond memories of by gone days spent within these surroundings. 'Dedication MRS. ROSEMARY COYNER To you because of your personality, kindness, patience, and deep understanding; and for your guidance in helping us to achieve our goal, we, the Seniors of 1953, dedicate this Year Book.

Marshall College ... Education Jh Qreenbarik, District T HE FIRST SCHOOL in the vicinity of Greenbank was ereeted 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 lasted until the year 1820, and then a school was built on what is now the property of John R. Gum which was then known as Cartmill Creek. This school served the purpose of educating the pioneer children for a de- cade 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 Greenbank Community. 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 from 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 Green- bank 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. Green- bank District had its own Board of Education at that time, so the teachers went before 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 few months after the Civil War, the building was 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 be- came County Superintendent. Its place was taken by the High School. In the year 1916, John W. Good sell, President of the Board of Education, with the aid of Dr. Leland Moomau, founded the Greenbank High School with the graded school being in the same build- ing. 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 build- ing was extended to the beginning of the gymnasium, and a few years later the gym and the rooms above it were erected. This last was completed in 1926. Quite a dispute was aroused over the location of the building, so it was submitted to a popular vote. The main condidates for the election were Cass, Dunmore, Durbin, and Greenbank, with the latter coming in ahead with a fair majority. The first term of school opened in the fall of 1918 with a small enrollment. The first principal was W. P. Haught of Bristol, W. Va. , with Miss Lucy Meredith, Margaret Hunt, and Lillian Moomau as assistants. The first graduate of the school in 1919 was Grace Curry, who had attended Marlinton for three years. In the year 1920, there were five graduates: Virginia Dare Moomau, Helen Beard, Bertie Beard, Lillian Beard, 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 principal. Mr. Harwood was replaced in 1931 by John Roach who served four years. In 1936, 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. Brief Highlights: Basketball started early in the school's history; football not until 1926 - first touchdown for the school was made by Olen Hiner in a game with White Sulphur. Home Economics was installed about three years after the founding of the school. The FHA Club was organized in 1930 and is one of the oldest in the State. In 1930, a separate Vo-Ag building wa6 constructed; the follow- ing year, a huge, garage. Hot Lunch Program for Greenbank High School and Graded School was intro- duced about fifteen years ago. In 1936 a new addition to the main building was made and steam heat was installed. In 1944 the GHS Band was organized under the direction of Anna Margaret Johnson. In 1946 a new floor was laid in the gym and a new heating system installed. Pocahontas County add- ed County Music Supervision in 1948, Miss Dorothy McNeel served as supervisor. The Homecoming for 1952 was attended by a large crowd, approximately five hundred alumni. Festivities for the Homecoming celebration consisted of a football game between Webster Springs and Green Bank High Schools. The crowning of the King and Queen took place between halves. That evening, the Alumni Dance was held in the school auditorium.

In 1955 I put my right arm into a hollow tree to see if there might be a bear inside. There was. Sincerely, George Triplett Cast Will and Zestament The members of the Senior Class of 1953 in good health and possessed of solid heads do make and execute this our will and testimony before leaving Green Bank High School. We hereby warn any person who may try to break or alter this will that in such case we shall haunt him to the edge of the grave itself and reap vengeance upon him too horrible to describe in words. Our distinguished place in the high school we will to a group known as the Junior Class. We place upon them the responsibility of maintaining the school reputation as well as we have done in the past. To the afore mentioned class we also leave two homerooms to be theirs during the year 1953-54. In addition to the Juniors we leave two class sponsors now residing in Mental Institutions'due to causes beyond our con- trol. Also to you, Juniors, we may bequeath any present Senior who flunks and fails to graduate. To the Sophomores, our sister class, we leave our richest blessing with a sin- cere hope that you will re-establish the school reputation which the present Juniors will doubtless destroy. We also leave to you Sophomores our past records to serve as inspirations to you in your future struggles. To the present Freshmen Class, now past our authority for the first year, we bequeath a measure of dignity that you may properly fill the place of Sophomores. To you also we leave a picture of the class of '53 framed in the hall that you may gaze upon it each day and set for yourself a high idea of becoming such Seniors. To the Faculty of the school, we leave a belated thanks for all you've tried to do for us and if it will help you out any we advise the lower classmen to study a lot harder than we did. Our athletic record we leave to all teams in the future to gaze upon in admiration, our scholastic record we leave to------------, let's just not say any more about it. The beautiful carved initials you will find on the desks in the various classrooms standing for our worthy names we leave to posterity and unborn generations. The old gym we will to Green Bank for the next 40 years feeling certain we'll never get another. The peanut box known as the auditorium we leave to the Dra- matic Department as the best we can offer, if you want more room have outdoor plays. The cracks around the windows we leave to the hoot owls for free and un- hindering passage in and out the rooms. Such incidentals as hall radiators, desk corners, and secluded chairs we leave to the first true love couples who get to them in the fall of '53. To Mr. Harris, we have nothing to leave but we are asking Santa Clause to bring him a new loud speaker system and a bright red wig. To every one concerned in Green Bank High School we leave our blessings and to the high school we leave our sincere hopes for a future success far greater than the past.

The three act comedy Along Came Kilroy by J. Dan Fairman offered character parts tofit the most exacting. All parts of the twelve except three were charac- terizations which offered real opportunity for acting. The performance, given April 17, went off smoothly. The audience in general expressed high praise for the play as a whole and for the individual actors. There were no outstanding stars. Instead each member of the cast turned in an excellent performance and everything balanced. Ernest Smyth. . Hermina Smyth Patricia Smyth Sherry Ballew . Jim Harris. . . . Ike Tuttle.....

Protected and wisely managed forests mean all these and more. They mean insurance for water supplies and hillsides free from erosion. These are some reasons why people should always be careful with fire in the woods. Green forests are an American heritage. Pic- nics in the woods-the tangy smoke of a carefully watched campfire - hiking - hunting - fishing - all are part and parcel of healthful outdoor rec- reation to millions every year. Americans can both use and keep their forests always if they protect them from fire and harvest them wisely.
