The future of our civilization depends upon the quality of the creative imagination of our next generation. — E. Paul Torrance Art class provides o ne outlet on the road to creativity. National studies have shown that a high correlation exists between creativity in the arts and creativity in the sciences. 2 Involves Adventurous Thinking, typed. Regimented Performances, mold. The truly creative— whether in art, in science, or in philosophy— is always and precisely that which cannot be taught. And yet, though it seems paradoxical, creativity cannot spring from the untaught. Creativity is the imaginatively gifted recombination of known elements into something new. (John Ciardi) Creativity, originality and inventiveness are the prime requisites for the crucial task of training the mind. (Harold F. Harding) 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 .

For the first time in many years the gymna- sium echoed with applause from the students as they witnessed a comeback in dramatics, pre- sented by the Forensics Club or Forensic Fol- lies.” Students in forensics discovered their creative abilities and potential that had been dormant for the past several years. Inspired by their slogan, We ' ve only just begun,” students launched into activities that had not been attempted in several years. The club members participated in activities such as a Forensic Meet in which each member entered into one of the three categories of speech, poetry, and prose. Each individual put forth an effort to do their best in their area of competi- tion. The winners went on to district competi- tion. Ffave you ever seen a play with professional actors? Well the members of the Forensics Club have. They went to see the production My Fair Lady at Swift Creek Mill Play house in January and the members received a vision as to what the world of drama involves.

The goal of S.C.A. this year has been to capture more spirit, enthusi- asm, and interest at Greensville County High School. The S.C.A. or- ganized the concession stand during football season, sponsored Home- coming, and gathered items for Christmas baskets to the needy. The student body participated in a Green and Gold day formed by the S.C.A. representatives and offi- cers. The S.C.A. also sponsored the March of Dimes, Heart and Tubercu- losis fund drives. The Student Co- operative Association plans to end the 1974-75 year by attending the annual S.C.A. Spring Conference and participating in the Summer Work- shop in Bridgwater, Virginia.

The French and Spanish classes comprise the Foreign Language Club. Though Russian is no longer offered in the school curriculum, the past Russian students are included in the club. During a regular meeting, the members en- tertain with the recitation of a poem, the sing- ing of a song, or a skit read or presented in the language of their choice. Attending the Foreign Language Banquet in December gave the members of the club an event to remember. Chef Hill brought some of his French gourmet dishes. The spring banquet on schedule will provide the final highlight of the year. MEMBERS: 1st row— T. Hines, B. Conner, B. Brown, S. Carter, E. Garner. 2nd row— S. Transue, V. Allen, C. Greene, C.

After many, many arguments over who was the Club Chess Champion, Roger Jefferson and Woody Harris finally decided to fight it out to the finish to determine once and for all who was really better. Nothing was accomplished however, because the game ended in a draw! The fact of who is better is really irrelevant because the main thing about the Chess Club is that all members are playing and enjoying themselves, even the rookies in the club, like club sponsor Mr. Kientz, manage to win a game once in a while. There have been many opportunities to play chess this year, with many rated tournaments being held in the area, several in the city of Emporia itself. And in the Spring there is the club championship. But for now, everyone in the club is saying I ' m the best. Mrs. Pugh gives spelling test to FBLA members.

The FBLA (Future Busi- ness Leaders of America) is a state and national I ! organization. The primary purpose of the chap- ' ter is to prepare students for business careers. This year marks the reinactivation of the ; chapter after several years. Monthly meetings i are held with an occasional call meeting for , testing. The chapter participates in district and state competition through activities such as spelling tests, arithmetic tests, and public speaking. The chapter achieves its goals in classroom participa- tion in chapter sponsored activities. OFFICERS: Mr. Pugh, Miss Rowland, Mrs. Martin, Sponsors. 2nd row— A. Brad- ley, Secretary; A.

Many people think that the club is strictly for athleticaly inclined girls. It ' s not! Any one who is interested in learning about sports, either by being a spectator or a participant, can join. The girls attend Play Day at Virginia State College and Old Dominion. They participate in intramural sports and this year the girls have district level softball instead of the GAA sponsored softball. The club is very active. The precedes from fund-raising activities are used to help finance trips to the Scope, Richmond and Hampton Roads Coliseums. Over all it is a fun club, one in which a girl can learn and become a more well-rounded person while having a ball . 28 5. TRACK FIELD TEAM— FRONT: D. Lundy, M. Mayes, C. Atkins BACK: L. Jones, M.

Mrs. Young ' s P.E. Class masters bamboo sticks. develops Skills Through Play and Projects Sitting in one class for two hours can become a little monotomous. Physical Education classes give students a chance to exercise their muscles and also to let off steam. Most students prefer physical activity to writing anytime. By having two hours of recreation, the other four do not seem so long. Learning while play- ing is the objective at G.C.H.S.. Participating in basket- ball, volleyball, track and field, shuffleboard, and many more activities is fun, but at the same time the student learns the basics of the game along with sportsmanship, team-work, and muscle co-ordination. Driver ' s Education is another large part of P.E. class. The necessary knowledge to obtain a learner ' s permit is taught so that all students have a chance to style around town.

Coach Sterling Smith and his Assistant, Richard Pearson, began to help the players get in shape for what looked like a championship season. Returning from last year ' s team were ten starters. The season got off to a fast start, with the Eagles winning two games back to back. At that point in the season the team ' s chances for a championship seemed very high, but the team was in for a disappointment as they lost their first game to the Matoaca Warriors. Although scalped , the Eagles made a remarkable come back as they closed the gap from a 35-0 at halftime to a 32-35 game! The Eagles rolled on to win four consecutive games, and seemed invincible. After a homecoming victory against the Randolph-Henry Statesmen, the Eagles were tied for first place with a record of 3-0 in the district and a overall record of 6-1 . With just three games to go, the next two games seemed to be the hardest as they were offset by many penalties. And were defeated by Nottoway 28-6. The Eagles showed good team work against Park View, as they tied the 1973 district champions with a score of 16-16 at halftime. In the second half the game | went on to be recorded in the book as a loss for the Eagles 40-16. In the last game of the season, the Green Machine was going up against the chargers of Central. Coaches Smith and Pearson, wanted this to be the best game since the seniors on the team were , graduating. In their final fling the Eagles rolled over the Chargers, with a 52-6 win in an overall successful season.

World Develops Practical Skills CAFETERIA STAFF— Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Tillar, and Mrs. Lankford serve the food. Is Mr. Pinchbeck engaging in input or is it a put-on”? i What could be more practical than nourishing and clothing one ' s body— or providing those services for a family or a world of students as do cafeteria workers in schools, or dieticians in hospitals and institutions? Proper nourishment is essential to good health and you are what you eat, claim some authorities. Mrs. Slate educates her students in the purchase of food and preparation of balanced meals. Our cafeteria ladies also try to provide the state approved type A lunch menu. It all takes planning and in these days of inflation, wise consumerism. In comparing ; the rising cost of convenience foods and ready made clothing, students can only conclude that it saves to do it yourself. Learning to select suitable fabrics, laying patterns, cutting out and applying the basic rudiments for clothing construction can result in stylish garments. Knit- ting, crocheting, quilting are also encouraged as projects. Four consecu- tive years of homemaking and a one year course for seniors is offered. The areas of instruction are Consumption of Goods and Services, in the Family, Management in the Family, Individual Development in the Fami- ly and Cultural Development in the Family. Major concern is the growth of the individual and ways home economics can help the students to improve the quality of life and live more successfully at home in the community today and in the world of tomorrow. 51 Job Oriented Class Blocks Deborah Pearson uses the adding machine.

In keeping with the trend away from separate subject-matter classes, which emphasized the development of one specific skill, the Business Department has made a transition to job-orientated blocks, giving some training in the many worlds in which future office workers will be expected to perform. Those who want to do general office work such as typing and filing can begin in the 10th grade in the Office Services course. The Clerk-Typist course may be taken after completion in General Business and Typing I whereas Stenography I and II Clusters should be taken in the 11th grade by those who expect to develop a high profi- ciency in shorthand and all other office procedures. This organi- zation is designed to track the various levels of interest and abili- ties into the cluster of classes which would best meet their needs. Journalism, Senior Newslettermen Through the years the task of putting the annual together has been a voluntary, extra-cur- ricular activity. The editor and business man- ager were selected from faculty recommenda- tions and work was done during the study halls under the six period system. With the elimina- tion of study halls under the Block , the work had to be done after school. This year an elec- tive course under the title of Journalism was offered to anyone who wanted to work on the annual. Over thirty students signed up. This was a boom to the sale of ads, but a bane to the production end. Those who put it all to- gether were the faithful few who worked after school and on holidays.

WSi Vo-Tech Students Build Outdoor Environmental Laboratory The Natural Resources Management class combined ef- forts with the building and trades and agriculture students to develop a study trail for ecological education. Students built and erected a forty-foot tower which houses an anemometer that measures wind velocity. Another shelter is equipped with a barometer, hyrometer and an air tempera- ture thermometer. At another point, cloud formations can be matched and identified from drawings depicted on a panel board. Trees typical of this area, their identification, rate of growth, harmful effects of beetles and blight can be studied at various sites. Soil types, erosion, water samples, aquatic life, flux and flow of the water in the lake and streams can be observed or studied in depth. Other accom- plishments have been the wiring and partitioning and paint- ing of more classrooms in the student built Vocational Technical Center. Students learn how to perform valuable services which will be in demand in the job world. ■1 The Vocational Technical For The Worlds R. Wells, C. Smith and D. Robinson work with electri- cal wires.

(Industrial Cooperative Training) are all members of the VICA Club. Also eligible to join are graphic arts, nursing, power mechanics, and Vo-Tech students. VICA helps each member to realize that any job worth doing at all is worth doing well. Over 35 different job related contests are in- cluded in the VICA program. Fund raising enterprises con- ducted by VICA were the sale of seat cushions and candles. The main event of the club is the Employer-Employee Ban- quet at the end of the year. Whether they have a picnic, a party or a ball game, you can be sure it was the students ' idea, decided on through parliamentary procedure and supervised by the sponsors. Sound like fun? It is!

Yes, this is what the Health Clusters and L.P.N. classes at Greensville Memorial Hospital involve. The H.C. students work in such places as the hospital, nursing home, doctor and dental offices. Their duties involve taking temperatures, carrying ice to the patients, making beds, working in the laboratory, and merely being there to offer a helping hand when someone is in need. The L.P.N. students have some of the same duties that the H.C. students do, however, their jobs are more exten- sive. They give baths, take blood pressures, and they are provided with the knowledge of administering medicine and running medical machinery. Every day the L.P.N. ' s are being allowed to take on many of the responsibilities of the R.N. ' s. The goal of these students is to serve the people of their community.

The Academic World Revolves Around the Library, Room 205 Mrs. Reid, our Secondary Supervisor whose office is Room 205, keeps a library of visual aid materials for use in Humanities, and history classes. It is also the storage and distribution point for the betti-kit booklets and tapes which are a part of the new performance training program. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swal- lowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. (Francis Bacon) Our library contains a feast of books. In addition to a total of 8,483 books of fiction, non-fiction, philoso- phy, religion, reference, and literature, the library sub- scribes to 55 magazines and receives copies of 6 news- papers.

The Block System, in its fourth year of implementation in the Greensville County Junior and Senior High Schools was one of the programs observed by visiting educators during The Conference on Learning, held January 16th and 17th. The blocking of classes into 2 hour sessions is especially advantageous in laboratory and vocational courses. Students overwhelm- ingly approve of the opportunity to accelerate and graduate a half-year early. Approximately 50 seniors leave after first semester to face the outside” world while about an equal num- ber of rising sophomores arrive from the Junior High School. Underclassmen who expect to be seniors the following September, take PSAT, the practice test for College Boards in October. Last year, because of the test score controversy, Greensville County administered SR A tests in the fall and spring to evaluate pupil progress in addition to the state required STEP and SCAT. This year the state required the SRA tests which were given in September along with the STEA (Short Test of Educational Ability) and the county will continue to test in the spring to ascertain the effectiveness of the performance training program used in all English classes throughout the school system. ASVAB, the Armed Services Aptitude Battery were for nursinc and LPN candidates. Are you undecided about your future career? You can con- sult Viola the palmist or the astrology charts but an individual conference with guidance counselors Mrs. Vassar and Mr. Walton who copulated pupil preference with aptitude, ability, career potential as interpreted from the Worlds of Testing ' has given students the tool needed fo building their own future world. 7. Mrs. Watkins looks over student records. 8. M. Lewis, B. J. Ferguson and Mr. Walton look over a list of col- leges. English Classes Become Target Performance Training Techniques, a For Tapes, Testing The State Department ' s release of test scores last year brought about controversy and changes when it was revealed that Greensville County students were not achieving commensurate with their ability. In an effort to bring the pupils up to grade standards and to improve the quality of education, a performance train- ing program was purchased to be implemented in every English class in the county. Taped Betti-Kit instructions and workbooks became a part of the curriculum in addition to the usual grammar and liter- ature books. The program took precedence as the first order of the day ' s work. Classrooms were cleared of clutter and bulletin boards became blanks so not to distract student attention from their lessons. One result, achieved through the repetition of timed testing techniques, may be the increase of student efficiency and confidence in circling correct answers, underlining and answering objective-type tests. Meanwhile, there is much to be taught that cannot be tested. The current emphasis on the accountability of the teacher for the performance of the students on standardized tests does not solve the problem of individual differences or degrees of motivation — but evaluation feedback can be the basis for building better programs. Mastery of basic skills is essential before the many worlds of literature can be explored. Increased perception through role playing, character analysis, book reports, research papers, interpretation of poetry and the vari- ous styles of writing, improved written and oral com- munication continue as the ultimate goals for English students. ■1 k 1 1.

The class under the direction of Miss Naomi Pomeroy, was most innovative and original. Students created their own characters, wrote their own lines, and performed their own plays and monologues to the delight of critics, faculty and fellow class- mates. They also directed and produced innovative radio scripts and radio advertise- ments. The surface of psychology was skimmed as students studied persuasion and motivational techniques. Rhythm and coordination were enhanced through the study of dance, both modern and conventional. Informal debates sparkled from controver- sial speeches and students learned what it was to argue logically rather than emotion- ally. They also taught the basics of speech to fellow classmates in ICT and gave Christmas concerts to various classes during the Holiday Season. It was a time when students examined activities that had not been done and questioned, why not do them? Consequently, a program of skits were performed for two audiences, a forensics tournament was held with students competing at the district level, and a field trip to a dinner theatre was taken. When a group works together, they grow together. So it was with this class. Togetherness was the secret of the class ' s success; regardless of their endeavor, they I I possessed unity which quickly pushed aside conventional obstacles. I i I I ■ i Members of the Speech Class are studying creative dance. R. Jefferson, V. White, C. Doyle, V. Mack- lin prepare lines for radio play. R. Grizzard, R. Childers, K. Hinton, W. Harris, T.

Como est as? 7 These questions are frequently heard when one passes Room 111, the Foreign Language Lab. while French or Spanish classes are in session. Several changes have taken place in the depart- ment this year. The number of students decreased, necessitating the elimination of Russian, which had made a valiant one-year stand. Mr. Hill ' s tra- vels to Russia and to France continue to inspire similar aspiration in his French students, who find his classes not all drill and drudgery, though a study of language under the Block System does require an acceleration of the process of absorp- tion. Mr. Ardura, a former Cuban, joined the depart- ment to teach Spanish, his native tongue.

Isn ' t it great? Living in an age of technology, teenagers often question the relevancy of having to learn facts from the remote past. To those who consider it a bore, history is merely the chore of memorizing data tp be fed back on tests. To those who recognize the importance of a sense of the past, of identi- fying with one ' s heritage, history is the interpreter of man ' s destiny, the bridge to the future. World History, American and English History, the latter an elective in the British Humanities course, study the past that the present may be more fully understood. Both the American and British Hu- manities courses have become history orientated with the abandonment of the team teaching experiment which had provided an arts correlation. Government classes continue to analyze and compare world governments with our own de- mocratic system and to encourage responsible action. Sociol- ogy, a popular elective course, gives opportunity to students to discuss society ' s problems, some of which are vitally personal and important. As religionists declare God is dead and historians lament the death of the past, modern man may turn to Social Sciences for dialogue and answers. Facts can be a foundation but they are stones from dead worlds if factual regurgitation becomes the end rather than the means to greater insights and concerns. 1 i i. i 1.

THE YEAR 1974 IN RETROSPECT 2 ' ?! By Eddie Leinwand When 1973 ended, people wondered what the future would hold, for surely things could get no worse. With Watergate as the major hinge, the door finally shut on Rich- ard Nixon and for the first time this nation had a president not elected by the people, Gerald Ford. The rise of unem- ployment and inflation worked a hardship on many as prices went up and stocks went down. 1 974 was also the year when kidnapping made a comeback with chameleon, Patty Hearst; Henry Kissinger did more than kiss and tell, Wilbur Mills had his Tidal Basin affair; Bob Dylan broke his eighth year silence with a record breaking U.S. concert tours and Edward Ken- nedy bowed out of presidential considerations. In the sporting world, Evel Knievel took the people for several million with his canyon caper. Hank Aaron, the lime- light for breaking the Babe ' s record and Muhammed AM, the crown from Foreman. In the spring a new spectator sport hit college campuses as streaking spread — even to the halls of G.C.H.S. Did anyone ever uncover the bare facts beneath that turbaned towel? The gasoline shortage turned out to be contrived but controlled as the Arabs still held the world over the barrel in the continuing fuel crisis. Charles Lindberg made his final flight out into the wide, blue yonder as did Duke Ellington, Earl Warren, and Bob Hope. It was a (expletive deleted) year! Can one find comfort in the observation that things always get worse before getting better? Mr. Robert Wrenn, County clerk, speaks to government classes.

Miller, (right) Attorney General of Commonwealth of Virginia, was one of the guest speakers at the January 16th and 17th Conference on Learning, which featured the block system , the Vocational Technical Center built by students, the Learning Center, the new Kindergarten program and the performance training program which required a year round in-service training classes of all the teachers in the county to implement it in the schools. Visitors from neighboring systems and the state department listened, observed and in addition enjoyed a fancy breakfast, lunch, and a very specia l banquet provided by the host school, Emporia Elementary. Dr. William Cockran, Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state, commented that a method that works in one locality is not necessarily the panacea for all educational problems, while Attor- ney General Miller strongly supported local school board policy failing those who do not achieve grade level, and applauded Greensville County ' s blow against the tradition of social promo- tion which resulted in the mass retention of students this past year. In an effort to bring weak students up to grade standards, an enrichment program on the Junior High level and special classes at the Senior High have been added. For those students who can not meet academic standards, plans are being made for certificates of achievement in vocational areas. On January 27th the contribution of the Vo-Tech students in the building of the Outdoor Environmental Laboratory was the object of the tour and meetings. Greensville County is on the go!

Mrs. Jones taught from 1927-1931 and was head of the English Department. She was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the College of William and Mary whose academic excellence and general accumulation of knowledge were tinged with a delightful and very special sense of humor. She and Miss Johnson, teacher, civic leader, musician and Virginia ' s Teacher of the Year 1969 were outstanding educators. Miss Johnson taught in the public schools of Virginia, for ■over forty years, for over a quarter of a century served as sponsor of the Senior Class, the school annual, and various clubs, and directed as chairman, the Social Studies Department of Greensville County High School; for over a decade, worked with a state- wide committee to develop and direct the Virginia Model General Assembly for the high school students of this state; and over those many years, was always a friend and ardent supporter of public education in this Commonwealth. 1 V yl. 1.
