From the teacher to the student working together as one—all are important and have their places in the operation of this academic effort. Both the administration and the students ably govern themselves and establish guide¬ lines. G. C. H.S. Time is eternal but fleeting. It is everlasting; yet it slips away ever so slowly. Time at G.C.H.S. is in¬ dividual. Each student learns his own limitations and sets his own goals. Time at G.C.H.S. is also a group effort in which the students discover the worlds of others—students and teachers. Special Times. . . Some moments of life are more precious than others, but none are more cherished than the times spent at G.C.H.S.: the long waiting line at the phone, the hours of diligent practice for the junior play, the decorating for Christmas, the members of the chorus awaiting their ride to the com¬ petition in Colonial Heights, the band’s participation in the dedication of the new bridge. These and others are memorable times. Yet the most special time to any student at G.C.H.S. is the two o’clock dismissal! G.C.H.S. After one year at G.C.H.S. students find its rooms, stairs, and hallways familiar, but certain places are more special than others. The benches filled many lunch periods with fun. The brick masonry class received expert training by bricking the ticket booth. Artistic crafts were created and displayed in English and humanities classes. The library provided escape into the enriching world of books. Many places in school are special, but G.C.H.S. itself will remain in memories forever. 8 Special Places.. . 9 G.C.H.S. What has made this year at G.C.H.S. special? There are the places to study and relax, to eat and joke, to create and experiment. There are the times to laugh and cry, to cheer and clap, to listen attentively and then daydream. These are important, but the people are the most special aspect of G.C.H.S.—the teachers and those within their classrooms, the guest speakers, and the administrators. Of all the memories of Greensville County High School, the one most dear is that unique unity which exists between the teacher and his student. 11 ■ m , SI Dedication ... The student of G.C.H.S. readily opened their hearts to the new principal CARLYSLE C. CRANK. His gen¬ uine interest in all school activities and his willingness to listen to any suggestions have been immensely appre¬ ciated by both students and teachers. The Riparian staff of 1971 expresses its gratitude to CARLYSLE C. CRANK by dedicating this volume to him. administration 14 15 Education Revolves Around Leaders GREENSVILLE C OUNTY SCHOOL BOARD - T. J. Barrett; Landon Temple; B. B. Vincent, chairman; Sam Owen; Garland Stith. Working in conjunction with the prin¬ cipal of Greensville County High School is the Greensville County School Board. This outstanding group accepts responsi¬ bility of operating all the schools within the county. Encountering a number of requests during the school year, Mr. Owen, superintendent of Greensville County schools, handled each one ca¬ pably. Each administrator takes time out from his work load to assist any troubled student. Donald Barton, Assistant Superintendent Sam Owen, Superintendent Robert Marks, Director of Instruction Carlysle Crank, Principal Facing various daily challenges and problems, Mr. Crank, the new principal, quickly alleviated everyone’s hesitation. He is actively concerned with student affairs and wasted no time in relaying this interest to the Student Cooperative Asso¬ ciation. His support of the entire student body lured the pupils and teachers to¬ gether to create a harmonious school year. Sterling Smith, Administrative Assistant Guidance And Office Staffs The office staff keeps the daily school activities operating smoothly by assisting students with specific problems and by duplicating bulletins so that both teacher and student may be informed. Finding it necessary to relate messages at any hour of the day, Mrs. Thomasson willingly assumes this task. The school remains in top shape through the efforts of Mr. Lynch, his main concern being for the welfare and preservation of the building itself. Mrs. Dorothy Shepherd, Clawford Lynch, Mrs. Virginia Bryant Mrs. Virginia Blythe Mrs. Mary Thomasson Mrs. Lorene Doyle 18 Unite To Offer Assistance schol grants loans equal oppor YOUR Mrs. Merle Vassar Mrs. Daisy Veliky Each student is assured that his indi¬ vidual situation will be handled with as much care and concern as possible when he vis its a member of the Guidance De¬ partment. The entire student body may find adequate aid whether in counseling, in seeking information from reference books, or in dealing with placement tests. The Guidance Department makes avail¬ able books concerning every occupation and profession. These books are a stu¬ dent’s guide to the future. Mrs. Emma Kreienbaum 19 Language Departments Expand New additions to the teaching staff brought even newer concepts of commu¬ nication into the well-established lan¬ guage departments. Confused expressions resulted from the study of phonemes, a new “foreign” language. Speech, a new subject of the department, roused many heated debates from among the realms of the students. Through the encouragement of their instructors, many students pro¬ duced fine examples of art work which enriched their English studies. Students taking French and Spanish made effective use of the foreign language lab. All students benefited from the effi¬ cient language departments. Miss Ann Repass Darrell Boone Mrs. Thelma Holmes 20 Mrs. Carol Carpenter m r •« lVVVVS V ’ miMg fin Si iXWfiWfW ' 1 Mrs. Lucy Robinson Mrs. Marjorie Nicholson 21 Social Studies Dwell On Democracy Mrs. Gwendolyn Moore Ted Harrell While many classes rely heavily on their textbooks, the social studies teach¬ ers extend their programs to other media. They believe strongly in broadening a student’s knowledge in all areas by in¬ cluding current events—everything from the Vietnam war to the generation gap to today’s drug problems. The recently in¬ stalled televisions update the students on present happenings and events, as well as reviewing and teaching past moments of importance in history. Mrs. Lota Reid Curtis Lee 22 Arthur Burnette James Garwood Miss Rebecca Fitzgerald The teachers also arouse the interest of their pupils by planning trips to battle¬ fields at Petersburg, the MacArthur Me¬ morial in Norfolk, and museums and his¬ torical spots in Richmond. Tire school had the additional privilege of hearing Delegate L. Ray Ashworth explain four proposals concerning the revision of the main body of the Virginia constitution. 23 Mrs. Daphne Clonts Mathematicians And Modern Scientists Fred Black 24 Puzzling as it may sometimes seem, mathematics is one of the most useful and fascinating areas of study. The highly trained teachers make it even more fasci¬ nating for their students by planning field trips and expeditions, by encouraging research and advanced studies, and by performing exciting experiments within and outside the classrooms. These teach¬ ers work painstakingly to expand and improve their programs in order to pre¬ pare each student for the future. In the process of researching to aid the students, many teachers benefit by furthering their own education. Mrs. Elia Beaman Brave Signs Of The Times 25 Business Education Boosts Careers The clicking of the typewriters is the key to the future for many aspiring busi¬ nessmen and women. The teachers realize this and take extra care to provide ade¬ quate training for each student. The school offers many classes in commercial education, including office practice, shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping. Mrs. Jane Tucker William Norris 26 Miss Vicki Jordan Mrs. Ella Pugh The highest potential rewards lie in the field of business. The person who “has what it takes” can often rise to the top from any level of business activity. Be¬ cause business is the world’s greatest em¬ ployer, it is important that each person seeking a business career have the gui¬ dance of the vocational teachers. James Bowdre 27 James Moore Many of the students of agriculture also explore the world of mechanics. Pre¬ paring themselves for a possible future in this field, the boys endure many long weeks of learning every aspect of an automobile. The pupils, however, met this challenge with great earnestness. The instructors of agriculture and architecture give their students needed inspiration by showing remarkable enthusiasm in their everyday work. Waverly Brown McKinley Tucker Mrs. Ann Wrenn 28 Vocational Teachers Stress Skills Benton Kelly Mrs. Jean Loving Mrs. Pauline Slate Nursing has gained entry into the school’s curriculum this year as many strong-willed and determined girls seek exciting and self-satisfying careers. The first nine months of the nursing course consist of theory; the following eight months the girls dwell on clinical practice at the Greensville County Hospital. The future nurses receive three credits toward graduation for the course. The skills learned in home economics are just as self-satisfying, for they develop leadership in home and community life, as well as provide individual and group recreation. 29 Mrs. Linda Rawlings Miss Dorcas Maness Fine Arts And Physical Education Wayne Brock Sparking the football games and rallies once again this year is the ever popular Greensville County High School Band. The band highlights the school year with occasional concerts. Mrs. Rachael Gobble 30 Mrs, Rache! Young Variety is the key work in choral, art, and even within the library. The choral group stresses variety as each student widens his musical horizons. This year’s art students advance beyond the basic steps by learning new and different tech¬ niques useful to an artist. The library excels in variety by not only displaying its numerous books, but also its news¬ papers and magazines. Physical Education appeals to a great number of students whose interests lean towards athletics. This department ad¬ vances beyond its duties of conducting regularly scheduled classes and sponsors intramural sports.

The members of the Student Cooperative Association have the responsibility of working in the concession stand at football games. Planning homecoming halftime festivities are W. Massey, Mrs. Rose Allen, Fred Black, W. Webb, B. Gilliam, E. Revis, B. Harrison, and S. Sasser. 72 Decorating the teachers’ lunch tables are Linda Smith, Belinda Gilliam, and Susan Sasser. The Student Cooperative Association, con¬ sisting of one boy and one girl from each homeroom, exposed its full potentials this year by making it possible to have homecoming festivities once again. Their influence and per¬ suasion gave school spirit a trem endous boost. The council includes among its duties the pur¬ chasing of a gift for each student or faculty member in the hospital for at least five days and buying a gift for the school. The governing body of the school has spent a great deal of time this year in stressing individual honor among all students, truly making it one of the most prominent organizations of Greensville County High School.

Beta Welcomes New Members The Beta Club is a leadership organization which rewards meritorious achievement. These students pride themselves in tutoring their fellow classmates at any time during the school year. At Christmas, Beta members carry out the Yuletide spirit by decorating a Christmas tree for all students to enjoy. They also prepare baskets of goods for a selected needy family. The honored students of the club promote the ideals of service and honesty and encourage pupils to continue their education after high school. Writing invitations for the Beta Club are Vivian Briggs, Connie Drake, Debbie Gregory, Belinda Gil¬ liam, and Wanda Massey.

Improves RIPARIAN 1971 A new year brought vivacious enthusiasm into the making of the Riparian 1971. The staff gath¬ ered the school’s activities and happenings of the year and coordinated them. Each division of the staff relinquished its spare time to devote many hours of hard work to the completion of the book of memories. Many aspects of a student’s day at school are pictured and arranged into eye-catching layouts. The great effort put forth by the staff was not in vain, for the members received valuable training in journalism. The editor has led the staff with skill and advice and has helped everyone to work towards the publi¬ cation of a good yearbook. In addition, Christy Vacca, copy editor, had the tedious chore of writing captions, identifying individuals, and in¬ vestigating club activities. Working together to fulfill last-minute details are Feature Assistants Bobbie Lou Doyle, Patsy Jones, and Susan Sasser, and Feature Editor Jeanie Jones. (Not pictured - Debbie Grizzard). Reviewing pages as the deadline draws near are Class Editors Demaris Mayes, Cinderetta Mason, Belinda Gilliam, and Rita Holland. Pondering over one of many pictures, Sports Editors Becky Vassar and Gene Spencer evaluate each other’s work. Mrs. Ella Pugh and Miss Ida Simmons, advisors, stand behind Beverly Harrison and Lynda Person, editors, look¬ ing over the latest issue of the Green and Gold. Proofreaders D. Cannon, J. Pair, L. Cribb, and M. Smith found newspaper work time consuming, but rewarding. The staff of the Green and Gold works pains¬ takingly to keep students informed as to what is happening around school. This monthly newspaper, providing an outlet for student opinion, also con¬ tains all the news and events concerning student activities. Feature stories which focus on the ac¬ complishments of individual students are often in¬ cluded in the issues. G. G. “Tells GREEN AND GOLD- B. Banks, B. Brantley, V. Bowen, S. Avent. SECOND-S.

In addition to the delightful half-time performances at football games, there have also been parades and concerts. The band placed second at the Christmas parade at Victoria and also received a par¬ ticipation trophy in the Band Day Festivities at Cary, North Carolina.

Gay Paris, with its fellow villages and cities, can be further analyzed with various techniques which are intended to arouse the interest of the French students. The French records dwell on the language through con¬ versations and sing-along songs. The club attempts to provide its members with a greater understanding of the beautiful and harmonious language. It also highlights France’s history and culture in order to pre¬ sent the students of French with more knowledge of the country and its people. The regular meetings supply the place for the students to further familiarize themselves with France and its international language. Linda Sykes, Teena Minton, and Regina Pair browse through some of the French albums used by the club as entertainment. 85 FT A Explores Qualities of leadership, helpfulness, and endurance are displayed by each FTA member throughout the year. The club provides opportunities for each student to explore the many aspects of teaching as a life-long career. The stu¬ dents worked diligently making Christ¬ mas bows this year as a means of rais¬ ing money for the club. Highlighting the group’s activities is its annual col¬ lege expedition, which gives the mem¬ bers the educational requirements for teachers, as well as an idea of what to expect concerning their future. As a further glimpse into the profession, delegates attend the State FTA Con¬ vention, and certain members are priv¬ ileged enough to work as teacher’s aides for the adult night classes. These students could not acquire better train¬ ing for their future than that offered by the FTA. A. G. WRIGHT FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA- K. Lewis, trea¬ surer; B. Ferguson, W. Massey, P.

Athletically inclined girls and sports lovers are urged to become members. The club strives to cultivate the varied interests of the girls by stressing such sports as archery, volleyball, and table tennis. The GAA cannot emphasize enough the importance of school spirit, and they set out to do something about it by vol¬ untarily constructing a spirit chain for home¬ coming festivities. By participating in group hikes and attending athletic camps, each mem¬ ber has the opportunity of refreshing herself through physical exertion. Ready and raring to go to camp at Virginia Beach, S.

The mem¬ bers display their enthusiasm for the club by being active in local, state, and national chapter activities. Each pupil is informed of the numerous oppor¬ tunities available and the countless advantages of entering the field of busi¬ ness. As a stimulating change in its usual course of activities, the club par¬ ticipates in state and national FBLA spelling contests.

FBLA Realizes Future Challenges Mrs. Vickie Morton calls words for spelling contest. Club members often participated in typing contests. 97 Forensic Club Emphasizes Speech Participation in forensic activities has in¬ creased as the sponsors stress not only debating and drama, but also the importance of speech. Training in effective public speaking is an es¬ sential part of training for leadership in any field of activity. The increase in the size of the organization is due to the various planned activities. Club members and other students were encouraged to attend plays at the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse throughout the year so that they might improve upon dramatic tech¬ niques as well as enjoy the presentation of an excellent play. The club provides a fine oppor¬ tunity for students who enjoy competition. Boarding the bus to go to Westpoint are H. Smith, D. Moore, G. Wood, and E. Newsome. 1 ! . — ■ -I m J gf. jg JK M . ' ..
