They finished fifth out of some thirty schools. They did, however, manage two first places as District Champion Bradley Smith took the three hundred meter hurdles in 38.5 seconds and the mile relay team of M. Jones, T. Smith, A. J. Johnson and B. Smith crossed the tape at 3.27 seconds in the regional competition. Despite a disappointing fifth in the regional, Coach Curtis Lee traveled to Harrisonburg with ten of the best track athletes. The team came away with a tenth place. B. Smith placed fourth in both hurdles and the 880 relay team of C. Robinson, R. Harrison, A. J. Johnson, and M. Jones finished fourth. 1. B.

Me!” “I command you to return my tray” was a typical demand heard in the cafeteria on “I command day” when the boys gave orders to the young ladies, There were others we won’t mention as the student body got into the action engendered by the many contests. Homerooms raised money for their Mr. and Miss Spirit contest with Miss Spirit, Sylvia Moody, and Mr. Spirit, Doug Edwards raising the top dollars. Spirit links were on sale as the chain of messages were built to encircle the football field. Students dressed in the fifties look with Doug Edwards and Lin¬ da Sasser as two of the winners. Cars and trucks were hastily decorated for the Wednesday afternoon parade and a bonfire, burning the Bluestone Baron as the effigy, was a forerunner Thursday of the victory in the game Friday as the Barons fell prey to the Eagles in a 38-8 game. At half time the Sophomore, Junior Attendants and Senior Queen contestants rode on the field in convertibles. After the game there was a victory dance held in the gym with spirits soaring and bodies swaying to the best of “Chester D.” Cheerleaders Raise Steam to Fire Up Teams Throughout the season both Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleaders played a key role in promoting school spirit. The addition of the Junior Varsity squad provided a broader opportunity for freshman and sophomore par¬ ticipants to cheer their division teams to victory. Both squads received Super Squad awards for their ex¬ cellence at the National Cheerleaders Association summer spirit camp at the College of William and Mary. 2. Angela Maryland sitting pretty. 3.

Eaglettes Row Through Rough Waters in 2-8 Season Under Coach Ronnie Grizzard Having many new players and a new coach, the Greensville County girls’ basketball team experienced a growth year. Although weak at the beginning of the season, the girls worked together through the leadership of coach Ronnie Grizzard. By the end of the season an en¬ thusiastic and much effective team managed to win 2 of 8 games. The J.V. Squad has completed another successful season under the coaching of Mr. George Boone. The team worked very hard in achieving their goals and showed good offen¬ sive attack. Its offense was led by Alfred Davis with a 13.6 point average, Larry Turner with a 11.6, Michael Person, a 10.9, Steve Blanks with a 9 pt. average, Jeffery High, 6.8, Alton Johnson, 5.9, Michael Scott, 5.4, Eddie Williams, 3.9, Barry Hines, 2.9, Quenton McBeth, 2 pt. average, Kevin Harris, 1.8, Christopher Hines, 1.7, Tony Jones, 1 pt., Alphonso Boone, 0.4 and Rodney Kindred with a 0.14 point average.

After winning 5 of their first 6 the Eagles were flying high and mighty. For the first time in over a decade they beat their arch rivals Brunswick, in what some considered the best game of the season. The wings of the Eagles were clipped in the second half of the season as they lost four of nine and thus finished with a 10-6 record. They still managed to place third on the All Southside Team.

It also numbers sixty-nine magazine subscriptions and seven newspapers for those interested in current events. This precious cargo was supervised by our trained student projec¬ tionists and checked in and cut the audio-visual equipment. She also ordered the films used in the classrooms and sent out lists of overdue books. “Count out your nickels, Mateys” was the cry at the end of each six weeks. Nickels inflated in¬ to dollars at the end of the year if books were not returned to this proper store room.

Guidance Charts New Courses, Maps Navigation Through School “What we need is more electives” has been the consensus of opinion for some time. In considering that need Guidance drew up new course offerings and several became a reality for the ’81-’82 term. Chorus was offered for the first time in several years as Economics, Speech and Drama and Ad¬ vanced Physical Education. Two classes in Business Law and Management and in Reading Improvement were set up and re¬ quired courses of 9th grade English, Math and Physical Education were transferred from the Junior High School. With the closing of the Learning Center, space to accommodate Mrs. Tucker’s TMR class was set up in room 200. Though still essentially a self-contained class, students were “mainstreamed” into physical educa¬ tion classes and chorus. 4. Shown working with several students is Mrs. Bradley, aide, and Mrs. Tucker, teacher. Guidance also set up testing schedules for SRA, PSAT, ASVAB and GATB, which were useful tools in career planning as was the Annual College Day when represen¬ tatives from a number of institutions of higher learning came to meet with students. Mrs. Vassar and Mr. Walton were always ready to help students with schedules, career plans, scholarships, financial aid in¬ formation and in any counseling capacity. 5.

Officers were installed in a special candlelight service on September 9th. Together with sponsors and com¬ mittees they got under way in October with a week of exciting events: Green and Gold Day, the first Homecoming parade since the 60’s, a bonfire and funeral of the Bluestone Baron, culminating in the pep rally and the Homecoming game and festivities. They assisted with College Day in November and sponsored the Thanksgiving Assembly. Rev. James Cary, Jr., pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, (6) is shown with C. Harrison pledging allegiance to the flag before delivering the address. The youth choir of the St. Paul Church of God in Christ (3) furnished the music, accompanied by Mrs. Emma Harrison. In December SCA sponsored the Christmas Door Decoration contest with Miss Harrison’s Reading Improve¬ ment class capturing first place, followed by a second place tie with Mrs. Allen’s and Mrs. Holmes’ classes and Mrs. Bennett’s coming in third. A Christmas Assembly featured the GCHS choir and student skits — the Annual Black History-Brotherhood week at the end of February featured daily events such as exhibits, a black culture quiz, films and black history projects. The special guest for the program was Miss Audree Jolly, Miss Black Teenage World of Virginia, 1980. A clean-up-fix-up campaign was conducted in April and new officers were elected in May. 1.

Upon Mrs. Povar’s return, the class visited Richmond to observe the wonderful talent of Flamenco dancers. The study of cultural contributions of the French and the Spanish, along with the field trips, was the “icing on the cake” of foreign language study and brief break from the usual routine grammar drills and translations. Students, wishing many more trips, perfected the wish for all travelers with a “Bon Voyage” or a “Buen Viaje.” 33 Social Studies Club, History, Economics SOCIAL STUDIES CLUB: Front: Milton Nichols, Vice-President; Mrs. Anna Price, Sponsor; Karl Owens, President; Adrienne Moore, Treasurer; Queen Tillar.

They also saw “Marne” at The Swift Creek Mill Playhouse and toured the Philip Morris plant and The Virginia Art Museum. While visiting The Supreme Court and Judicial Building in Richmond, Federal Judges Warriner and Merhige met with them. They also went to the Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Marshalls’ students toured the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court; Humanities students went to the Smithsonian and Kennedy Center. Locally they at¬ tended Court sessions and did research at the clerk’s office for papers on local history.

Business Department Trains Future Business Leaders of America For business students, success is in correctness and preciseness in the use of language and development of skills in operating the business machines. In order to get anywhere in the world, the business skills that will take you there and be developed in classes like office services, Clerk Typist, Stenography I, Typing, Accounting, and Business Law and Management. Coordinating with the business classes is the FBLA — the Future Business Leaders of America, a state and national organization which encourages excellence in high school business students through regional and state competi¬ tions. For fundraising the FBLA Club sold Christmas or¬ naments to finance their trip to the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse where they attended the dinner theatre and saw the play “Marne.” 38 1.

Preliminary sketches of historical houses were made in pen and ink, water colors, and acrylics. Many of those were later incorporated into the mural which was installed in the courthouse corridor on May 31, 1981. All matted paintings were judged in a contest sponsored by Clary Realty and 1.

Some of the club’s projects this year were sell¬ ing Eagle key rings, baking cupcakes for the teachers, having a Christmas dinner, roller skating, taking orders and selling chocolate Easter eggs. While Mrs. Collins was on Maternity leave, Mrs. Carter substituted. The sewing continued as students learned to operate both home and industrial-type machines. Pants, blouses, skirts, jackets, jumpsuits, curtains, and pillows were some of the items made. With Mrs. Collins’ return, units on money management, housing, use of household equipment, marriage and the responsibilities of parenthood, food preparation and nutrition were all practical lessons for future homemakers. 41 M i ILIE VO-TECH CENTER and VICA CLUBS present HOOT AND RING TOSSIN 2FORS 5 !

' ill JUT - ICT, Auto-Mechanics, Nursing Courses, Food Services Make Daily Trips Into the Real World of Work ICT-Vica Club In order to go to work during school hours in the shop, downtown in local businesses, or at the hospital, students booked passage to these specific “ports” of entry by enrolling in classes which required and coordinated on the job training. ICT, which means Industrial Cooperative training, had Mr. Charles Bass, a newcomer, at the helm. Students in ICT classes and the ICT-VICA club found new and rewarding ex¬ periences throughout the community and in regional and state competitions. “What’s for lunch?” This question was asked more fre¬ quently at G.C.H.S. than any other. If the menu wasn’t posted in the classroom or heard on WEVA that morning, many ventured a guess from the smells coming from the kitchen. In addition to the usual type A plate, an a la carte item was available this year. Mrs. Jones and the cafeteria staff served an average of 335 lunches daily in four shifts. The student plate was fifty-five cents and the adult plate rose to one dollar — a real bargain in today’s inflated economy. CAFETERIA WORKERS: M. Tillar E. Miles M. Williams R.Jones manager B.

Owen Retires Retrospect: The Last Dozen Years Under Superinten¬ dent Sam A. Owen After having received another four-year contract last spring to continue as superintendent, it came as a sur¬ prise when Mr. Owen announced his retirement to take effect December 31, 1981. Appointed in August 1968, he had led the Greensville County Schools through dif¬ ficult times of desegregation, planning and implemen¬ ting the transition in 1969 of bus routes, teachers and students to the six schools in the system. In the early 70’s, concerns about student performances of basic skills surfaced on standardized tests required by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Greensville County students were ranked as lowest in the state. Respon¬ ding to the problem, he and his staff formulated a pro¬ gram now known nationally as “Promotion Based on Achievement,” begun in 1973-74. That June, parental concerns were made known when children not perfor¬ ming on grade level were scheduled to repeat the grade, even though they had received passing grades on their report cards, but did not test on their grade level on the SRA. Half-step promotion classes were instituted for those who had not mastered skills for full promo¬ tions. An alternative program — Occupational Profi¬ ciency Training, was designed for those 14 years old who desired a vocational practical skill instead of the high school level curriculum. This innovative, practical program received national coverage in Time, Reader’s Digest, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. ABC, CBS, and NBC came and filmed the Greensville County story. Other school divisions have since studied and incorporated the program pioneered here into their curriculum. Mr. Owen wrote about the Greensville experiments in the Kappan, a prestigious educational publication in 1977 and addressed many school divisions all over the United States. With his easygoing, folksy manner, Mr. Owen told how Greensville County, one of the poorest in Southside Virginia, with old facilities and limited funding, was able to raise scores significantly through teaching em¬ phasis on back to basics and through individualized records of each pupil’s mastery of objectives and skills drawn up for each grade level. This increased not only the work load on teachers, but also their accountabili¬ ty. The classroom teacher was the recognizable key to raising and maintaining the standards of achievement based promotions. Mr. Owen is to be commended for his insights, innovations and leadership. His block system was especially tailored to the needs peculiar to Greensville County with the transporting of students between the high school and the Vocational Technical Center, built under the direction of Mr. Owen to train students in the practical skills of building and farming. This plant, built by students getting on the job training experience, was another first for the Southside Virginia area. Mr. Owen’s efforts to provide for the needs of the school system as economically as possible made his ac¬ complishments even more notable. m Nellie Richardson Receives Second John Phillip Sousa Band Award Hon ored last year by the addi¬ tion of her name on to the plaque in the band room, Nellie Richardson again recognized as the outstanding band student, was presented a pla¬ que of her own on Awards Day. ' 82 Governor ' s School Nominee to Attend Lynchburg Campus Greensville County High sophomore George Newsome will be among the four hundred eighty of Virginia’s most talented high school students selected to attend the Governor’s School for the gifted this sum¬ mer held at three state colleges and at Langley Research Center at Hampton. Newsome will attend the session at Randolph-Macon Women’s College. He was nominated by a committee of educators from the local school system because he is “outstanding among the students.” Approximately one hundred fifty students will attend each of the centers at Longwood, Mary Washington and Randolph-Macon Women’s College where sessions will run from June 20 to July 17. Twenty-two students will attend a special-interest section of the school to be held for the first time at the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, from June 20 to July 30. The students selected to attend the school this year bring to more than four thousand the number who have attended the Governor’s school since it was started in 1973. Mr. Sam A. Owen, Superintendent, congratulates Robert Kapinos upon his completion of studies at the 1981 ses¬ sion of the Governor’s School for the Gifted. ■ ' 1 : gL kH ki DAR Award Recipient Kim Jones, selected from three candidates nominated by the senior class was voted to receive the honor following speeches before the faculty.

IN MEMORIAM In Memoriam Alease Bonda Williams October 29,1963 April 25,1981 of Alease Bonda Williams During Spring break of our Junior year, we lost a classmate whose memory we cherish. Alease’s accidental and untimely death serves as an example of our tran¬ sitory life and the ultimate voyage into eternity that we will all make at some time. We remember her eyes shining with the corners of her mouth curled into a mischievous, pixie grin; face soft, expectant, pleasant; a manner generally characterized by sunshine and smiles. We can almost hear her voice in this poem by Kahlil Gibran: Lament me not, but sing songs of youth and joy Shed not tears upon me, but sing with harvest and the winepress; Utter no sigh of agony, but draw upon my face with your Finger the symbol of love and joy. Disturb not the air’s tranquility with chanting and requiems, But let your hearts sing with me the song of Eternal Life; Mourn me not with apparel of black But dress in color and rejoice with me. Talk not of my departure with sighs in your hearts; Close your eyes and you will see me with you forever more.

Students wrote and acted out historical skits, dances, songs, and soliloquies in a colorful entertainment. 1. Tina Brown as Juliet and Karl Owens as Romeo set this balcony scene. 2. Julia Warriner as the ag¬ ing Queen Elizabeth in¬ troduced the program. 3. Tim Vassar as Shakespeare narrated and recited “All the World’s a Stage.” 4. Rose Butts, Janice Miles, and Valerie Cain “crack up.” 5. Valerie Cain as Mary, Queen of Scots is about to lose her head. That’s Tim Richardson under the ex¬ ecutioner’s hood. 6. John Manson as Macbeth and Cliff Harvey as Banquo encounter the witches — R. Butts, G. Dupree and V. Cain. 7. Among the young Elizabeth’s (Stephanie Wilson) many suitors was Philip of Spain (Mike Sledge). 8. “Hamlet” Kapinos con¬ siders whether “to be or not to be.” Juniors Sail Through Breezy Times to Make Port for Prom During Football Season, the Junior Class spon¬ sored one after-game dance to help raise their sails for a smooth voyage to Prom-Land. Bearing the entire expense of the Junior-Senior Prom, Juniors also sold Christmas ornaments and planned otl routes for raising revenue. After the financial fig with inflation and fund raising, Juniors have theii sights on the solace of the Senior “Haven.” CLASS OFFICERS: Edwin McBeth — Treasurer, John Seaborne — Reporter, Cheryl Andrews — Secretary, Chris Harrison — Presi¬ dent, Sylvia Brown — Vice President, Joe Barnes — Parliamentarian.

Was it a 7 on the Richter Scale — or was it the noise of the new arrivals? Feeling confi¬ dent in their voyage to the similar “twin” planet, they became a visible force. Early in their stay in Eagle Country, the two hundred and four baby Eagles built themselves a nest egg by selling cannisters of candy and pop¬ corn — a good start on the road to future voyages.

International terrorism stalked the world perpetrating atrocities on the little known as well as the famous. An assassin’s bullet wounded President Reagan in March, Pope John Paul II in May and killed Egypt’s Anwar Sadat in October. Someone even shot at England’s Queen Elizabeth II with blanks during a parade. Chester Bitterman, a Wycliffe Bi¬ ble translator, was kidnapped by Marxist guerillas in Columbia and later killed. Nuns were gunned down in Salvador. IRA and Ulster violence took its toll of life in Northern Ireland. Americans in par¬ ticular were top targets of leftist attacks in Europe. At home, the passing of many famous persons was mourned including movie stars, comedians, and many leaders. Successes in space were scored with the space shuttle Columbia’s return and Voyager IPs photographs of Saturn. Our country’s first test tube baby was born and G.C.H.S.’s faculty members Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Povar, and Mrs. Roach have added to the local babies born. The first lady, Sandra Day O’Conner, was appointed to the post of justice in the Supreme Court by President Reagan while the ERA ammendment floundered and federal cuts were felt as many government agencies were trim¬ med or abolished. Locally, the closing of the Unemployment Office was felt as the coldest winter of the century brought snow upon snow plus sleet, ice, and the closing of school for eight con¬ secutive days, postponing exams and other local activities. After an icy winter, a dust bowl spring and seventeen days of rain beginning on May 20 when seniors embarked on their trip to the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, many anticipated a wet graduation, but the low hovering clouds abstained for the final program to be held on June 6 on the football field. p KCt-5 OUR, t V € ft-T S ANt pAT 0i WITHOUT UJH OSC HtUp ELa UE ' Si WOUUb NOT A V« _Nrv « T %■ Clift and Sharon “Itchy” Conwell Fay L.
