His service and foresight have resulted in many outstanding changes in our appreciation of music. Under his guidance the Greensville County High School Band has set high standards of quality and has won numerous honors. Mr. Savage has evoked such an increased interest in the musical field that more students have participated in the band. Mr. Savage is a graduate of East Carolina College where he was quite active in the music department. He now resides in Emporia with his wife who teaches art in the Emporia schools. He attends Main Street Baptist Church where he is the director of the choir. Mr. Savage has certainly created a successful band by such a thoroughness in his work. With the greatest pride we dedicate this, THE 1963 RIPARIAN, to you, Mr. John Dorsey Savage.

The faculty and I wish to commend the student body for their part in upholding the ideals associated with the Greensville County High School. You are recognized all over our dis¬ trict for your fine sportsmanship and cooperative attitude. It is our hope that you will con¬ tinue to live up to these standards. To the members of the senior class I extend best wishes for a successful future. William I. Overbey, Jr. Principal Mrs. Pat Grimes is serving her first year as secretary to the principal of Greens¬ ville County High School. She attended Lindenwood College and the University of Kansas graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Education. Having served as principal and as assistant superintendent of Greensville County S c ho o 1 s , Mr. A. G. Wright has the experience necessary for the position of super¬ intendent of Greensville County Schools. Mrs. Barbara Tripp serves as secretary to the superintendent. Miss NellJeanis chief clerk of the super¬ intendent’s office. Our school board is made up of Mr. Cary P. Flythe, chairman; Mr. V. J. Krienbaum and Mr. A. G. Slate. In its regular monthly meetings the board reviews the current needs and expenditures of the schools in Greensville County and makes re¬ commendations for the improvement of these schools. Our county feels that the work of these men has been invaluable to the schools of Greens¬ ville County. Mr. Krebs explains results of PSAT test to Pete King and Eddie Allen. uicfance The Guidance Department of Greens¬ ville County High School has proven very successful in its second year. The Guidance Department helps students to prepare for college entrance exams and to plan for their future vocation. Through our guidance counselor, Mr. John Krebs, tests are given to various stu¬ dent s according to their grades. These tests reveal to the students where their strong and weak spots lie. We, the students of G.C.H.S., are for¬ tunate to have such a conscientious guidance director. Ujusiness Cjcfucaiion The commercial department of G.C.H.S. under the guidance of Mrs. Richard Tucker and Mr. J. R. Garnett, offers a variety of subjects from business typing to business English and math. Personal typing which is being taught for the second year has been a valuable asset to our graduates. When a student has completed his commercial courses he is well prepared to take his place in the business world. Mr. Garnett lectures to his business English class on tech- Mrs. Tucker helps Judy Wrenn with her shorthand assignment. niques in writing business letters. Our Social Studies teachers, Miss Johnson and Mrs. Doyle, try to acquaint the students with the government of the United States as well as those of other countries. Miss Johnson in her history classes not only teaches the history of the United States but also that of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Through Mrs. Doyle ' s Geography classes, students learn of the people, languages, industries and economic interests of the countries of the world. Students in sixth period Senior History listen attentively as Miss Johnson explains the workings of the Federal Court System. Mrs. Doyle points out various countries on the map as Mrs. Harris smiles her approval to students who have she teaches World Geography. done well. At G. C. H. S.,both French and Latin are offered to students having a B aver¬ age in English. The division has undergone a change in teaching techniques this year. Through the use of records and dialogues the stu¬ dents are putting added emphasis on pro¬ nunciation. Eighth graders enjoy Latin because of the challenge it presents to them. Through learning Latin they are able to read in¬ scriptions found on monuments and in old writings. It is to our Foreign Language teachers that we say, Thanks for a job well done. Mrs. Wood plans assignments to be given to her French students. Science is forever changing. One day a new speed record is set by the X-15, and the next day human beings are orbit¬ ing the earth at incredible speeds. Each day new words describing new scientific terms enter the vocabulary : fallout, megaton, retro-rockets. It is imperative that students devote time, not only in schools but also at home, to studying and reading important data pertaining to the changing world. The science department is exclusive at Greensville County High School. Chem¬ istry, biology, general science, and eighth grade science are offered; a few of these sciences are required. The equipment in the lab is modern and functional. All of these opportunities are available to those eager to learn these fast-changing trends. Mrs. Vassar explains plot of movie before showing it to her eighth grade science class. Mr. Tripp watches general science class as they take test. Miss Reynolds mixes some chemicals for a chemistry experiment. C7A. e space ape proqram cnanenpes ' Jialfe CL. Greensville County High School has a very comprehensive mathematics pro¬ gram. General Math, Algebra I, Algebra n, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry provide the students a solid foundation with which to meet the ever demanding needs of the world out¬ side. In the new program students who have exceptionally sound ability are eligible to take Algebra I in the eighth grade. Al¬ gebra n in the ninth grade. Plane Ge¬ ometry in the tenth grade and Trigo¬ nometry and Solid Geometry in the eleventh grade. This leaves the twelfth grade available for an advanced high- school mathematics course or possibly a precollege mathematics course. In this way the students are gathering additional fundamentals. The teachers are to be especially complimented for their pa¬ tience and guidance in teaching these complicated courses. Mr. Williams checks papers as Jerry Grizzard an¬ xiously awaits results. Mr. Cashwell explains geometry problem to tenth graders. £i e science ano ma cf mai£emalics siuoenis. Mrs. Gobble watches Gregory Bennett diagram a sentence on the board. Mrs. Brothers points out various countries on the map where English is often studied today. Students at G.C.H.S. meet the challenge of the English language the first day they enter school and continue to meet this challenge until the day they graduate. Grammar, literature, book reports, and comprehensive reading assignments make up the contents of the English courses of¬ fered here. Through these courses stu¬ dents widen their vocabularies, learn to speak in public and gain independence in thinking for themselves. Many students have found that a vivid imagination is a prerequisite for writing the many short stories, poems, and themes. Often many of the students enter contests that require the writing of themes. Through the success of these contests many students have con¬ tinued their studies and met the challenge of journalism. Mrs. Reid prepares to give themes back to sophomore English class. Mrs. Parker helps Carolyn Powell select a book from the junior book list. The students at G. C. H. S. are fortunate in having such a large and comprehensive library. Mrs. Parker, our librarian, sees that books are kept in their places at all times. She orders new books for the library and this year has added paper back classics to the books available to students. Mrs. Savage shows her art class a picture drawn by one of the students, Patsy Scheidemantel. Students with musical ability find an out¬ let for their talent in the band, in which they receive training in marching as well as in playing an instrument. Under the direction of Mr. Savage the band students learn to more fully appreciate various types of music. Several students in the band have gone to participate in All- State Band. The band members soon learn the im¬ portance of precision work both in playing and in marching. They become parts of an important unit of the school. There have been many favorable comments made by the public regarding the band’s great improve¬ ment in recent years. In art classes Mrs. Savage sees that any artistic talent which a student may have is brought out. Through art, students learn about drawing techniques, color schemes, and many other aspects of art. The several exhibits made by members of the art class have brought much enjoyment to every student in the school. The G. C. H. S. Band under the direction of Mr. Savage practices for their annual band concert. Mr. Matthews explains make-up of a transistor radio to his class. Mrs. Slate shows the girls in her sophomore home economics class how to pin a pattern. The vocational department of Greensville County High under the guidance of Mrs. Pauline Slate, Mr. Clarence Cameron, and Mr. Nathan Matthews offers the knowledge and information about the home, farm and industrial life. Girls usually begin home economics in the eighth grade where they receive instruc¬ tion in food preparation, sewing and personal grooming. As they progress through the years of school, they become more skilled in these areas of the home. By the time a girl is a senior she should be an expert seamstress and an accomplished cook. In the agricultural classes boys learn the improved methods of farming. The students learn to mend fences, repair farm machinery, and study livestock and related processes. Woodworking, metalwork, electricity and automotives are the four fields of Industrial Arts. The boys are given experiments in each of these fields and graded on their progress. The mechanical drawing course teaches the student to develop the power of visualiza¬ tion, to train in the exactness of thought, and to read and write the language of industries. Mr. Cameron lectures to eighth grade agriculture class. Uocaiionaf cfasses irain siucfenis -or occu ipaiu ons.

Under the direction of the physical education teachers, students receive training in various sports. In health classes they learn good health practices, and in Driver-Education classes they learn how to be better drivers. The Physical Education Department also directs the activities of the students in intra¬ mural basketball, archery, and table tennis tournaments. Through these tournaments greater interest in sports is created among the students.

So is considered a member of the Student Co¬ operative Association. The students elect a council composed of officers and two representatives from each class. This organization represents the principles of self-government. The S.C.A. has many ob¬ jectives. Two of the most important are promoting leadership and good scholarship among the students in G. C. H. S. The main functions of the S. C. A. are being responsible for the concession stands at football games, participating in the de¬ votions, maintaining a point system, stress¬ ing the honor code, scheduling attractive and meaningful bulletin boards for the halls and conducting devotions for P. T. A. meetings. In November eight delegates attended the district meeting where they learned many new ways in which the S. C. A. and students could work together. A meeting was conducted in an assembly where dele¬ gates to the district meeting gave reports on the discussion groups. As the annual S. C. A. gift for the school, linens were presented for the in¬ firmary. Under the new sponsor, Mrs. Harris, the S.C.A. hopes to reach higher levels of co-operation with the students. Edward Wood, S.C.A.

The club is a national honor society to which sophomores, juniors, and seniors who can maintain an A or B average belong. The standards of the club are kept high by re¬ moving members who fail to retain their scholastic averages. Under the leadership of this years capable officers, the Beta Club hopes to have a very successful year. The club has many worthwhile service projects such as decorat¬ ing the Christmas tree, polishing the tro¬ phies, compiling and posting the honor roll each six weeks, tutoring other students, and helping teachers in any way possible. In the future the club promises to do even greater things in improving the school and community by encouraging students to become better citizens. Thus, each member finds the way to serve his school through the Beta Club to which it is an honor and privilege to belongo The club is under the supervision of a new sponsor, Mrs. Caroline Doyle, this yearo One of the annual projects of the Greensville County Chapter, National Beta Club is to secure a Christmas tree to be placed in the front corridor of our school. Beta members Jimmy Cook, Patricia Novey, and Fred Harvey are shown putting finishing touches on this years tree. At one of the meetings a very impressive induction service was presented.

Rep¬ resentatives from the senior, junior, soph¬ omore, and freshman classes were chosen by the sponsors to serve on the staff. Throughout the year these people worked hard to produce a yearbook of which they could be proud and through which they could reminisce and recall their fun and the knowledge they acquired. The staff tried to record every momen¬ tous occasion as well as the insignificant things that made these the happiest and most wonderful days in the students ' lives. The editorial staff drew intricate lay¬ outs, wrote comprehensive copy, and la¬ beled pictures. Taking group pictures for the annual was a continuous process. The members of the business staff did an excellent job in securing advertisements and handling the financial aspects of the Riparian, Only through perseverance and respon¬ sible people was this painstaking job completed. The annual staff works hard to meet the ever present deadline. J. Pruett, C. Slagle , P. Scheidemantel, S. Osborne, M. Martin, R. Brothers, A. Gordon, J. Harri¬ son, P. Stanley.

(ScJioof CPaper Covers OCecvs Composed of twenty-four members, the editorial staff of the GREEN AND GOLD turned out six issues for the year 1962-63. From newsday to deadline, the staff worked, covering the news, writing feature articles, arranging interviews, and composing editorials. Brenda Collins, editor-in-chief, and the other editors, led the staff, advised by Mrs. Jane Tucker and Mrs. Sudie Brothers. The objectives of the GREEN AND GOLD are to promote creative writing of the mem¬ bers of the club, to inform the entire student body of the many activities, and to give ex¬ periences and to obtain better leadership for the future. Typing, proofreading, printing, and sell¬ ing copies to high school and elementary students make our GREEN AND GOLD a success. Each issue exemplifies the hard work demanded in publishing a newspaper of this type.

Throughout the year the clubs strive to keep their purpose and platform alive. They do this by sending delegates to the Model General Assembly in Richmond. The delegates present a bill each year and gain experience in government by actual partici¬ pation. This year members of the clubs at¬ tended the District Hi-Y Conference at Petersburg High School where Patsy Schei- demantle held the office of District Secre¬ tary and led a discussion group on School Spirit. At least one Sunday during the year members attend church together. As a pro¬ ject the clubs sponsor music and devotions each morning over the intercomas well as a blessing before lunch.

Because of increased enrollment in the Frenc h Club, christened ”Les Amis de France,” or The Friends of France,” was divided into two groups. La Societe Guy de Ma upau s san t” and La So c i e t e de Moliere.” While these names may seem forboding to outsiders, the club members are looking forward to their two socials in addition to their regular monthly meetings. At these meetings, held during French class, new information on customs and culture of France is presented, making the study of French more enjoyable. Also instituted this year for first year students is the new audiolingual method of learning French. By this method students learn to speak the language before ever seeing it in written form.

Under the direction of Mr. John Savage, the band furnished half-time entertainment at home games and several out-of-town games dur¬ ing the football season. Within the band is an excellent Combo composed of boys interested in playing popular music. The Combo played at the pep rallies and on special occasions. The band took part in many outside ac¬ tivities such as the South Hill Harvest Parade, Emporia Customer Day Parade, Blackstone Parade, Oyster Bowl Parade in Norfolk, and the Christmas Parade in Richmond. In order to participate in these activ¬ ities, the band members raised money by selling candy, decals, and receiving con¬ cessions from local town events. The majorettes worked diligently striv¬ ing for perfection of their squad. Their efforts have contributed considerably to making the band a success. The students of Greensville County High School realize that the band has put forth much effort in bringing home many honors to the school. Mr. Savage has worked indefatigably for this successful band. In this routine the Marching Eagles make the formation for the letters GC.

The Whole Town ' s Talking was amatching-of-mates comedy concerning a junior business partner, the senior business partner ' s daughter, a movie star and other match-making char¬ acters. The play was written by John Emerson and Anita Loos. Before being released as an amateur production the play ran for an entire season in New York. In the play Mr. Simmons wants to mar¬ ry his daughter to his junior partner. But Chester Binney, the partner, is the kind of bachelor no woman would want. He is such a blank, says Mrs. Sim¬ mons, that every time he comes in it seems that someone has gone out. Mr. Simmons has a theory that every woman wants the man that every other woman wants and conceives the plan of in¬ venting a few love affairs for the unro¬ mantic Chester. From a book shop they chose at random some photographs of beautiful women. The movie star, Letty Lythe, is selected, and the story is allowed to leak out. In no time at all the whole town is talking, and all the girls are falling for Chester. In the midst of Chester ' s glory Letty Lythe comes to town, accompanied by her fiance, who happens to be a prizefighter. What happened to Chester, and how he weathered the storm was carried out in satire and comedy to entertain the whole family. The play committee which consisted of Edward Wood, Suzanne Ivey, Fred Harvey, MaryTedesco, David Martin, Gayle Slate, Sylvia Ogburn and Butch Temple worked very hard in choosing this play and putting it on.

Students at Greensville County High School par¬ ticipate in numerous extra-curricular activities. An assortment of clubs provides an outlet where students meet the challenges of a more adult world. Much entertainment is drawn from these activities as well. Our well-rounded athletic program equalizes the academic organizations and provides a place for stu¬ dents to release themselves physically. Such clubs as the Student Co-operative Association promote the practice of self-government. This group which regulates all other extra-curricular programs gives each student the chance to express his opinion concerning the improvement of this school. Organizations dealing in the practical arts are: Future Teachers of America for students planning a career in education, the Future Farmers for agri¬ culturally-minded students, and the Future Home¬ makers for girls seeking a working knowledge of the intricacies of home life. Music, art, and reading are well-represented. Our very fine bands, both marching and concert, receive par excellent ratings and make a good im¬ pression for our school wherever they go. Art in¬ struction, something relatively new at our school, is rapidly gaining momentum as new talent is uncovered. Love of books is the Library Club ' s theme and is well expressed through their activities dur ing National Book Week. Members of the Forensic Club under sponsorship of our well organized English Department seem to be well versed on the many facets of for¬ ensics, dramatics, and debating. One of the factors of this is their overflowing rostrum of fine speakers. We are fortunate in having several Hi-Y groups.

The National Beta Club is a leadership-achievement-service organization for the perpetual promotion of these subjects. Journalism and publishing are exploited by the hard-working staff members of the GREEN AND GOLD and RIPARIAN. As deadline dates approach their business-like air often changes to well organized panic. The responsibility and experience received is well worth the effort, however. The Monogram Club encourages the participation in four varsity sports: football, basketball, baseball, and track. A very hep cheerleading squad supports these teams at all athletic contests. Extra-curricular activities are undoubtedly vital to the complex workings of any school. Here at G.C.H.S. we realize this as can be seen in this sy¬ nopsis of o rganizat ions and their purposes. The challenge to make our school one of the best is met when something is provided for everyone. Jack Saunders lowers the flag after school. Patriotism is prevalent at this school.

These boys are good prospects for next year ' s Varsity team. The J. V. team made up of eighth and ninth graders has given many of our boys experience to become better football players. This year’s team is no different in that many of the players are good varsity prospects. They showed much promise in their hard fought games throughout the season. The Junior Eagles played Bruns¬ wick, Franklin and Southhampton. The out¬ standing player on this year’s J. V. team would have to be their fine passing quarter¬ back Earl Clary. The coaches expect to put him to a lot of use next year. The Emporia basketball team, with a lot of spirit, desire, hustle, and skill put Head Coach Doug Bryant’s one-three- one offense and man to man defense to¬ gether to pull a surprising start by up¬ setting favored Southhampton. What the Eagles lacked in size, tallest 6 ' 1 , they made up for in speeds The team and Coach look forward to a prosperous season.

However, the new Eagles had what Coach Bryant calls the most important attribute, teamwork. Excelling in drills for many weeks of practice, the team was able to control their jitters throughout the long season. This year is the last year of basketball for four of our varsity members: David Martin, our high scorer; Jimmy Whitehead, CO- captain and transfer student; Ed Wood, Greensville County High School ' s best all around sportsman, and Bob Graham another CO- captain. As this was written the team had a 2 - 2 record and a promise of an exciting winning season. The team looked forward to the possibility of going to the District Tourna¬ ment and with a little luck could come out on top. 70 Who shot? Eagles hustle for rebound. Graham scores on a lay up in tight game. Uhe aqfes encAproves io Se TJafuaSJe Ed Wood shoots a pretty jump shot for two. The team is only as good as its bench” is an old saying of many people. The Eagles have a good team, mainly because of its bench. In the fourth game of the year the Eagles bench sent four men onto the floor to come from behind to win. These men were Otho Harrell, Buck Massey, Jack Saunders and Jimmy Cook. Otho Harrell pumped in eight points in the last quarter while Buck Massey added the winning two. Emporia Eagles expect to have future great teams as shown by the caliber of players who are this year ' s reserves. The potential for an out¬ standing future has been shown by our bas¬ ketball players. 71 Under Coach Burt Tripp ' s guidance the Junior Varsity has put height, speed and accuracy to advantage to turn out an ex¬ citing season. The J. V. ' s also upset the Southhampton I n d i a n s in the game pre¬ ceding the varsity. There are many future stars on this surprisingly well balanced Junior Eagle team.

There was class competition during the basketball tournaments which was very exciting. Last year a new class competition was added, volley ball. For individual sports fans there was the challenge of archery and table tennis tournaments. Each intramural sport was thoroughly enjoyed by all who participated.

The girls exhibited excellent t e a m work, good leadership and training. The team devoted one and a half hours to practice each day during the season. In the early season the team showed great promise. In the game with Ran¬ dolph-Henry the girls showed their ball handling ability until a sudden reversal in which RH took the game by a score of 27-25. With high hopes the team went to Victoria the following week. The girls led all four quarters to win the game by a score of 30-28. After a week of practice the team was once again challenged by the Parkview team. Miss Charlotte Reynolds, the new coach, instructs captain Patricia Stanley and co-captain Jackie Somne r on plays.

Throughout the re¬ mainder of the season the team de¬ veloped and strengthened its offense and defense. This year the girls are under the direction of a new coach, Miss Char¬ lotte Reynolds, graduate of Radford College. She has devoted many hours of her time helping the girls in learn¬ ing basketball skills and techniques. She has given the girls new ideas and plays to work on and emphasized team work and CO - ope ration among the players. D. Cox, P. Jordan, Miss Reynolds, C. Brown, E. Green, M. Gay, P. Stanley, J.

During the past summer the girls attended a cheerleader Clinic held at Camp Farrar, Virginia Beach, where they learned many new yells, songs and stunt techniques. When they returned home, they were eager to try these new ideas. The squad taught the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders many of these yells at summer practices. The cheerleaders are led by Patsy Scheidemantel during foot¬ ball season and by Gayle Slate through the basketball season. Both girls strived diligently to perfect the squad. Our cheerleaders played an important part in all the team victories; even in defeat they never lost faith in our athletic teams.

The eighth grade students learned of their new challenges through Orientation Day, presented to them by the Student Co-op¬ erative Association. They attended various classes and learned about their new subjects. ’’Make your good better and your better best,” their motto, will lead them through the coming years. They chose lavendar and white for their colors and the violet for their flower. Their reception presented the opportu¬ nity for the parents to meet the teachers and to become acquainted with their child’s new environment. They ended their first year of high school with a picnic which everyone enjoyed. This is the fourth year that the eighth grades have had the opportunity to take ac¬ celerated courses in math and foreign lan¬ guages. They will receive credit for these courses towards graduation. An Eighth Grader joins the F. T. A., one of the many clubs they can join.

They also recall their last year ' s Freshman-Sopho¬ more Dance, when the gymnasium was im¬ pressively decorated as Paris in Spring¬ time with a ceiling-high Eiffel Tower. This year they found themselves in more advanced courses, many taking commercial courses for the first time. They found that they were called on more than ever to par¬ ticipate in club activities, athletics, and in putting out school publications. The class picnic and dance were also important events. Most of them met their challenges, and even though they remember their sophomore year fondly, they look forward to being juniors next year. 94 Donny Allen Jeanette Allen Judy Avent Irene Daily Wayne Banty Lewis Baptist Mary Borland Janet Barnes Clarence Bass Anna Batts Lois Beatty Bill Belmonte Howard Boney Ruth Bradley Betty Braswell our Gloria Brewer Linda Brigman Shelia Brockwell Ann Buckner Mildred Buckner Pat Callahan Billy Chaplin LaVerne Conner Gerald Conwell Mildred Conwell Dottie Cox Katrina Daniel Diana Dockery Judy Doyle Billy Dunn Ruby Edwards Richard Epps Jimmy Ezelle Jean Ferguson Joyce Ferguson Terry Ferguson Martha Gay Sallie Goodwyn Oscar Gordon Wilbur Gordon Edna Greene Randy Grigg ! arSara 3 arris an cf Sinc a JsJoocfru Jerry Grizzard Judy Grizzard Eileen Hollingshead Joyce Harrell Otho Harrell Barbara Ann Harris Donna Harris Judy Harrison Sandra Harvey Cora Lee Hudson Tommy Johnson Betty Jones Kay Jones Larry Jones Lonnie Jones Mike Jones Peggy Jordan Wayne Leath Butch Ligon Gayle Ligon Elmer Matthews Louise Brenda Matthews Frances Mayton Clifford Mitchell ere 3 omecomino U epreseniaiives Marcia Mitchell Faye Moore Betty Morris Bob Norwood Jerry Norwood Melvin Ogburn Michael Ogburn Patricia Overby Faye Owen Linwood Parker Virginia Pearson Paige Perkins Bobby Podstepny Polly Prince Stanley Prince John Pritchard John Pruett Jeanne Rae William Ricks David Roach Peggy Roach Wayne Roach Betty Robinson Ted Rogers Katha Sadler Wilson Seward Carolyn Slate Patsy Slate Carolyn Smith Howard Spruill Donald Stainback Julia May Staton Maureen Stokes Gilbert Sykes Joe Tedesco Judy Thomason William Thompson Terry Tillar Tommy Tillar Anita Tomlinson David Tomlinson Milan Veliky Martha Walton Hardee Watkins Stacy Watkins Scotty Wesson Rick Wheeler Nancy Whitehead JKemSers CTrom Zlhe SopJiomore Gfass Andy Wilbourne Bonnie Wilkinson Maynard Wilkinson Barbara Williams Wesley Wood Linda Woodruff Wesley Woodruff Aubry Wray I Dennis Wrenn Dwight Wrenn Lois Wright Laura Zimmerman Junior Class officers from LEFT TO RIGHT are Rick Brothers, Photographer; Claude Harrison, Treas¬ urer; Dale Mitchell, Reporter; Tommy Doyle, President; Joan Vincent, Secretary, and Bobby Staton, Vice President.

The time is drawing nigh, when the senior class of 1963 approaches the long awaited day of graduation. T hey glance back upon all the things accomplished and look towards their future goals. Five years ago they entered Greensville County High School as a group of bewildered eighth graders. With the help of their sponsors, they soon realized and accepted their new responsibilities they would have for the next five years. In their freshman and sophomore years, they worked diligently on the Freshman-Sophomore Dance. To end these years, they celebrated with their annual class picnic. Receiving class rings in their junior year delighted every junior. The class then worked enthusiastically on the Jr.-Sr. prom. Their Jr.-Sr. picnic brought their junior year to a close. Their senior year was the best of all years. In the fall the class was honored to have Janis Rae as homecoming queen, Patsy Scheidemantel, as maid of honor, and Anne Gordon, Myrtice Dickens, Gayle Slate, and Susie Pair as senior representatives. In the spring the seniors journeyed to New York City for a wonderful week of entertainment and excitement. The seniors achieved much experience from the selling of Christmas cards andthepresentingof the senior play. The experience will remain in each of the 1963 senior’s mind in years to come. As the schoolyear, 1963, drew to a close, the senior class reflected upon the happy years spent at Greensville County High School and reluctantly parted to go their separate ways. 108 DENNIS SMITH ALLEN BETTIE CAROLYN BAKER FURMAN KELLY BARNES, JR.
