lOtK THE STUDENTS OF GRETNA HIGH SCHOOL Gretna , Virginia Present THE JUNCTION 1960 Barbara Kepley, Editor Carole Sue Shelton, Business Manager Mrs. Estelle L Tyler, Sponsor 5ne Realijafion Begin At Of Dreams Qvetndi Hi... These are the Hawkettes -- they dream of the day when they will be high school stu- dents. Future G.H.S. majorettes, no doubt, will come from this group. Blue Hawaii was the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet. Jimmy Dalton, president of the Junior class, was master of ceremony. Patsy Bayliss, Patsy Gay and Wayne Gibson are having an enjoyable time. Many And Varied Are Our Dreams Dreams of being a Junior and re- ceiving the long awaited class ring have at last been realized. The Ring Dance will always be a pleasant memory for the Class of ' 60. Judy Mattox enjoys her performances as head major- ette, She is proud of the Hawkettes which she coaches. 4 Wfiicfi We Strive 5o A edieve Bobby Hedrick is happily escorting Ruth May- hew to the throne where she will be crowned May Queen. We might add that being Queen is a dream any Girl would love to achieve. 5 We borrowed these caps and gowns- - wasn ' t it a dream” just to try them on? Dreams Alone Are lUeaK, But Of ComSined AMcniiun Frank Robertson and Nell Shelton cam- paigned vigorously for president and vice- president, respectively, of the S. C. A. They promise a clean sweep if elected. May Day in color is very pretty. Here we see Peggy Fanes, attendant; Freddie Midkiff, crown bearer; Libby Pickeral, Gail Cocke, Sandra Hendrix, trumpeters; Ruth Mayhew, Queen; Sherril Moon, flower girl; and Eleanor Fanes, maid-of-honor. Ray Hershman is presenting Floyd Bennett the Honorary Chapter Farmer Award, while H. A. Mer- ricks, Jr. , Lowell Rowland, Donald Davis and Aaron Johnson look on. Work has accomplishedthis dream. lUiffi ITor And Will, t hey B ecome A lot of work went into the Homecoming floats. The F. Ho A. girls visualized a win ning float and worked to make theirs outstanding. It received a ribbon. Their Fashion Show in color brings out well the costumes the girls are modeling. We see here Spacemen Eleanor Fanes and Naomi Nunn; Margie McMinnis in sleepwear; Judy Dalton and Martha Vaughan in sportswear; and Linda Adams and Betty Dalton in better dresses. 3oundit ons 3ov Building Of r‘ . ' i- The theme of the Camera Club float (as shown by the lettering on the side of the float) was Christian Education. The students recognize that the development of strength and character are essential if their dreams are to be realized. Students on the float are Wade Eades and Mary Lynn Hiler; Dennis Craddock and Mary Ann Towler; and Jerry Wyatt and Brenda Bowling. Strength And Cfiaracfer Barbara Kepley and Marshall Cocke were chosen by the Junior Class and faculty to attend Girl ' s and Boy ' s State at Ftadford and Blacksburg, respectively. They were sponsored by the Gretna American Legion and Auxiliary. Carole Sue Shelton and Mrs. Ewell Ram- sey (Sponsor) attended the State Beta Club Convention held in Richmond. The Cheerleaders ' sign says; If You Watch A Sport, Be A Sport . Clean sportsman- ship is sponsored by other clubs in school also. Here we see Dolly Dawson, Carolyn Atkin- son, Nell Shelton, Vickie Doss, Sandra Baldwin, with Jimmy Dalton as driver. We £earn New Skills And Masfer 0 During the first month of school quite an extensive testing program was conducted. S. C, A. T. and S. T. E. P. became familiar words to the high school students. Mrs. Ella Anderson ' s Seventh Grade colorfully portrayed the story of Rip Van Winkle. By Assuming ResponsiSility.., The cap and gown is an outward symbol of education. Class- work, activities, sports, assuming responsibility--all are a part of education. It is with mixed feelings that the Seniors don their caps and gowns. were proud of their part in planning and sponsoring The members of the Junior Class the Junior-Senior Banquet. Carolyn Atkinson, a senior and head cheerleader, realizes that her duties have helped her to develop leadership. Sfirougfi Snricfied Sxfra Curricular Acfiuifics Grade mothers andteachers sponsored Halloween parties in each of the grade rooms.

Mr. Clifford Angel proudly displays the winning products at the County Fair of the Young Farmers Association. In athletics the desire to win, coupled with clean sportsmanship, is a worthwhile dream of any student. Sfiaf Sets Q, H. S. Apart And Where except at G.H.S. can you find such a nice Senior Class? This is typical of the attention President Jimmy Dalton receives at the class meetings. And , where but at G. H. S. would you find such in- dustrious students as Barney Shelhorse, Wayne Pickeral, Jimmy Dalton, Billy Turnbull, Marshall Cocke and Jerry Wyatt? Dwight Love, having paid his poll tax, is exercising his right to vote in the S. C. A. election. ives Us A Desire 5o Gxcel Sammy Pickeral is looking thoughtfully at the newly painted football helmets. We won- der what dreams are in his mind here at the beginning of the football season. The lovely red rose bush planted by past F. H. A. members makes a fitting background for these F.H.A. officers picture. Those who have just been installed in an impressive ceremony are, Rowl: Linda Graham, Martha Vaughan. Row 2: Jean Hedrick, Emily Myers, Charlotte Martin, Doris Dalton, and Kathy Harrison. We, too, desire to excel and hope you will be happy with this edition of The Junction. Barbara Kepley, Editor Carole Sue Shelton, Business Manager ...5o 3ulfill Our Dreams Vedicsition to Miss Myrtle HaJen Once or twice in a lifetime each of us meets a person who profoundly influences our lives. This person has an effect upon us as to a way of life; a thoroughness in work that is challenging; a sense of right that compels honesty and truth; and a love for students that causes us to pause and remem- ber that we are grateful for having known such a person. We lovingly dedicate the 1960 Junction to Miss Myrtle Haden. sssssw ' .SSVSVVS WWWW Our administrative leaders and faculty have guided us through a suc- cessful year. They have instructed, encouraged, counseled, and sponsored our many school activities. The results of their valuable training and guidance will assist us in realizing our worth-while dreams. ADMINISTRATION FACULTY Adminisfrafipe Leaders And Scdool Board MR HARRY R. ELMORE Division Superintendent of Pittsylvania County Schools In the hands of the School Board is placed the future of the students at Gretna High School. The board has the authority over important rules and regulations. These prominent men, well versed in the problems of schoo l students, prove their wisdom and understanding many times in solving and eliminating worries. The members are: J. Willie Towler, C. F. Adams, James P. Mays, T. Anthony Pollard (Chairman), E. B. Fitzgerald (Vice-Chairman), Carl G. Hodnett, Dr. Girard V. Thompson, Nat Watlington. MR CHARLES E. HAGBERG Assistant Division Superintendent of Pittsylvania County Schools 20 t See Omprove GducAiiomil Opportunities MR. KENNETH S. TYLER Principal Gretna High School MR. RICHARD K. McKEEL, JR. Assistant Principal We S ilute Mrs. Ruth T. Oakes, Secretary Linda Adams, a Junior, is busy counting lunchroom money. She has worked in the office for three years, checking in the money and getting out the tickets to the grade rooms for lunches. i Gaynelle Taylor, a Senior, is assorting class schedules and ar- ranging them alphabetically. She has assisted in the office for two years. dfiose wfio Quide Us-— The faculty presents a new look this year--in action, rather than posed. This looks more natural, since we think of them as we see them each day. MRS. LAURA ANDREWS is listing the rules for making book reports for her English classes. The Young Farmer ' s class is contributing to the community as a whole. MR. CLIFFORD ANGEL, their teacher, is quite proud of their display and the ribbons won at the County Fair. MR. L. HAMPTON BENTON thoroughly enjoys directing the Band; at times we wonder at his patience. Practices on the farm are being discussed by MR A, B. CULBERTSON at one of his Vocational Agri- culture classes. Bugs, frogs, snakes, leaves, flowers and what have you , usually wind up in collections for MRS. NINA P. EDMUNDS ' Biology classes. Our Oeacders Wfio New books are received and catalogued each year. MRS. MADALINE FITZGERALD, Librarian, is explain- ing this process to Frances Barker. Planning units and class participation for her students in Vocational Home Economics occupies a large portion of MRS. EVELYN MANN ' S time. MR. JAMES LEE McKEEVER enjoys his physics, chemistry and general science classes, since today science is more important than ever. When MRS. FRANCES MITCHELL is not busy teaching French, you will find her helping grade pupils with Remedial Reading. Boy ' s Physical Education and being head coach completely fill MR RUTLEDGE S. MOON ' S time. 7ontriSuie Sfieir 5ime, Correcting themes, book reports and tests are time consumingfor any English teacher-- MISS ELIZABETH ORR finds one quite interesting — May we read it Miss Orr? MRS, LOIS PENDERGRASSteaches the commer- cial subjects; we are quite proud of the record our former students are making in this field. We see on the bulletin board back of MRS. EWELL C. RAMSEY Are You in Orbit? --she feels English will help us to find our place in society. We all realize that Mathe- matics is essential in a scientific world-- MISS ETHEL RORER is busily laying the foundation for future mathe- maticians. MR, SAMUEL D, RORER thoroughly enjoys his general science classes and the Eighth Graders- together they could prove explosive ! The Commercial department has a new faculty member, MRS. CLEMENTINE W. SHELTON, this year, MR. JOEL SHELTON teaches the social sciences, and coaches basketball, track and the Midget football team. Mr. and Mrs. Shelton are both G. H. S. graduates. Another new teacher this year is MR. THOMAS TERRY, who having just graduated from Lynchburg College, teaches history. MRS. ESTELLE L TYLER feels that in teaching Mathematics and sponsoring The Junction she is contributing to the total development of her pupils. Coaching the girl ' s basketball team and direct- ing their physical education keep MISS BILLIE JEAN WHEELERbusy. Jimmy Shields seems to be enjoying MR. BAIL YEATTS ' government class. Gncoursige Us 6o Study, Direct Jut ActiviUes, And United Nations week became alive for MRS. ELLA ANDERSON ' S Seventh Grade by studying foreign dolls. Carrie Hampton Edwards and Joe Powell fine the Mexi- can clothes quite colorful. Patsy Dalton is getting practice reading before MRS. CARRIE BERGER ' S Sixth Grade. Arithmetic in the Fifth Grade is the foundation for higher mathematics- MISS MARIE DAVIS finds her pupils quite apt. Good sportsmanship is practiced in play at recess — MISS MARY EASLEY and MISS BURL FEAGEANS are going out for super- vised play with their Seventh Grades. MISS ELVYN FERGUSON has just finished putting on the board a poem on Mr. Jack 0-Lantern for her Third Grade. ' kAJ 1 j.i i jr iA l jJjM ' 1 ‘j MISS HELEN FITZGERALD is supervising her First Graders in the lunch room- -they have to learn their way around. The Fourth Grade is having a lesson in history from MISS MARGARET FITZGERALD — the bust in her hand is of an Indian. Can you rearrange Over the hill the farm boy goes so that the subject will come first and the complete predicate last? — MISS MYRTLE HADEN ' S Sixth Grade gets a less on in this. MRS. LORENE HINES and her Fourth Grade enjoyed a Halloween Party-their decorations were most effective. MRS. SALLIE HINES illustrates the geography lesson with maps-her Sixth Grade enjoys making their own maps. iHelp Us Wortdwfiile I - Stevie Scruggs is showing his microscope to MRS. VIRGINIA HUNT and the Fifth Grade- -interest can be started in the grades for a scientific career. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are specifically learned in the grades--MRS. CECILE LEWIS has the interest and attention of her pupils. First Graders are the most interesting of all to watch-we enjoyed visiting MRS. THELMA MATTOX ' S room; teaching these little people to work and play together harmoniously is quite im- portant. Jimmy Hunt, Jr. is having a lesson in reading readiness. Thomas Jefferson made a great contribution to his native state, Virginia, as well as to his country- - MRS. BEATRICE MOON and her Fifth Grade enjoy studying about him and other great Americans--we wish to compliment the artist, Marian Swain. MISS VIVIAN MOTLEYand a section of her Second Grade are enjoy- ing a reading lesson. cx)|u cn MISS BESSIE RORERand Jean Berger are reading in the Preprimer for their Frist Grade Class — again we say teaching these young people is most important. The Second Grade has completed one step towards their education- -MRS. EDNA SCRUGGS is colorfully teach- ing arithmetic to Patricia Bailey and her class. MISS MARY TONEY and her Fourth Grade find that reading good books adds much to their vocabulary. Her stu- dents are most interested in their new books. The alphabet can be written numerous ways- MISS BERTA THOMPSON is giving her Third Grade a lesson in writ- ing - we could all take a lesson in that. MRS. ODELL WALTINGTON ' S Second Grade is having a lesson in story-telling. Robert Brumfield had a most interest- ing story to tell. This is the Gretna faculty - high school and ele- mentary - each making a contribution to the physical, mental and moral growth of his or her students. May we as students appreciate their efforts and make the most of our opportunities ! Dreams Come 6rue. rivers David Shelton, Melvin Dalton, Danny Rowland, Ed- ward Rowland, Elwood Bolling and James O. Andrews drive six of the nine buses that serve G. H. S. The others are driven by students (left to right), Carroll Bailess, Shelby Brumfield, and Bobby Davis. Four buses make two runs daily. The drivers take every precaution to ensure the safety of the students. Cafeteria Personnel And Mrs. Cora Rowland, Mrs. Nora Bayliss, Mrs. Gladys Matherly, Mrs. Leila Dalton, Mrs. Bessie Franklin and Mrs. Mattie Shelton have just finished serv- ing the faculty lunch during one of the workdays before school opened. MRS. CORA ROWLAND directs the work in the cafeteria. Buying food to feed approximately six hundred a day is part of her duties. MRS. LELIA DALTON is busily making cornbread--each worker has a certain dish that is her specialty. Setting the table for the lower grades is MRS. BESSIE FRANKLIN - her specialty is potato salad. Without machinery it would be impossible for six women to cook and clean up after each lunch - MRS. NORA BAYLISS finds help in cutting up cabbage. If falls to MRS. MATTIE SHELTON to make cookies on soup day-and it takes large dish pans full too. MRS. GLADYS MATHERLY is stackingthe plates after they have been washed and sterlized. The group works together in preparing the food and they rotate the cleaning up jobs. Their hours are from eight until they finish. We should all appreciate their efforts to serve wholesome lunches. MR. AND MRS. ROBERT EASTHAM are kept busy trying to keep the buildings and grounds looking their best. I f - Nv } CLASSES The citizens of tomorrow are learning fundamental lessons today. These students are presidents of their respective classes. They typify the hopes and ambitions of each in- dividual student in our school. II Sfie Gnglisfi Classes Prepare Us 6o grammar drill Literature position, punctuation rules, spelling, and | book reports- -all are apart of our Eng- ; lish classes. We seek to improve our | powers of interpretation and expression i| thru our studies. Dixie Knautz and Donald Davis are diagramming a sentence before Mrs. Ewell Ramsey ' s class. The correct use of English, both written and spoken, is a necessity. Studying formal grammar helps one to more readily detect errors in the construction of sentences. The Library offers assistance for the English classes. Reference books, magazines, novels and encyclopedias are used by students. Notice the bulletin board which features careers -- mater- ial is available to read and study about the one that might interest you. Miss Elizabeth Orr, Doris Walker, and Lowell Rowland are busy preparing for the Senior play. The students re- ceived training in public appearance, diction and cooperation. Lowell got in some practical experience in building also. SpeA And Write Move Covveetly Alice Sapp and Richard Jones find material for an English IV theme in the Library. Research and composition teach the students to look for facts and express themselves. Students who are members of the Library Club receive instruction from Mrs. Madeline Fitzgerald, Librarian, in Library practices. Linda McMinnis one of the members, is checking the file for cards on books for parallel reading. A panel discussion can be quite lively, especially when conducted by Kitty Aylor, Mary Ann Towler, and Tommy Johnson. Practice in oral Eng- lish and thinking are results of a class such as this. � • ' ii ' emafics Ana Science Are Key Bill Love and Emma McDaniel find three dimensions are interesting in Solid Geometry but quite hard to draw on the board. Bill placed exceptionally high in mathematics onthe National Merit Scho- larship Test. Mathematics has become a neces- sity for those students who plan to con- tinue their education. It is the basis for many courses in college and is a require- ment for entrance in most. Our mathe- matics department offers courses to meet these requirements. Algebra is necessary as a founda- tion for future study in mathematics. Is CarolJo Moore sh,owing Larry May- hew how to solve a difficult problem or is it the other way around? No one but Larry knew this picture was being taken - Notice how Johnny Pickeral is concentrating. Five units are offered in high school mathematics here at Gretna. Marshall Cocke has availed himself of this opport- unity to be better prepared for college. He is studying geometric figures. I 1 Subjects On ‘6be Spa.ce I If we read and listen to news reports, we realize that Science is playing an important role throughout the world. Here at Gretna High School we are given an opportunity to study General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. A study of these subjects makes us appre- ciate the seemingly everyday things a- bout us. Biology classes are made interest- ing by bringing into the classroom speci- mens to study. Here we see Kenneth Shelhorse with an honest to goodness live snake --you can have him Kenneth, we don ' t want him. The Eighth Grade Science Club is busy making a world for their float. They recogonize the importance of science all over the world. Here we see Betty Dalton, Joyce Divers, Smitty Smith, Dwight Love and Carolyn Perkins hard at work. Martha Berger is conducting for her section of Eighth Grade Science an experiment showing the effects of oxidation. Social Studies Keeps Us Jnformed Of News f E. W. Myers, Donnie Graham, Bill Mann and Ron- nie Compton are having a panel discussion on the current steel strike in their Civics class. We see in the background that the steel strike is on - also an announcement of a test. The Senior Government Class saw the movie United Nations for Peace during U.N. Week. Wayne Younger, Jimmy Shields and Bobby Gay are of the age to be interested in peace. Bobby runs the projector frequently for other classes. Spirited discussions on current problems; under- standing our social, political and economic background; and learning to become useful citizens are all a part of our Social Studies Classes. I United Nations Week was observed by the Govern- ment Classes. Emily Rowland and Margie McMinnis are looking at a minature of the U.N. buildings and flags which is on display in front of the blue and white U.N. flag. Commercial Classes Off ev A Business Sdue ition Our Commercial Department is proud of the re- cord our students have made after graduation in the business field. Each year a large number of these commercial graduates accept employment in office jobs. Amy Hines and Jewel Roark are taking Typing this year. They plan to take more business classes next year when they will be Seniors. After graduation they hope to be able to get a job with this training. Shorthand or Greek, its all the same to us because we can ' t read it. Barbara Kepley and Linda Atkinson have taken or are taking shorthand, bookkeeping, typ- ing I and typing 11. The typing classes are given experience in typing mimeograph sheets. Linda Adams, a Junior, is getting her first try at one. After graduation Linda will make some one a good secretary - she has worked in the office for three years. Band Offers Opportunities in Music Charles Allen enjoys playing the big drum and Richie Fratzkethe snare drum in the beginners group. Issuing uniforms to the Band members is quite a job. Mrs. Marjorie Dudley, Chairman of the Band Committee, spent considerable time finding uniforms to fit all members. Some members of the Little Band may be small, but you can sure hear them! Glenn Bolling has found away to get up in the world fast. He is enjoying play- ing his trumpet too. The Band is divided into beginners and a more advanced group. The members come from the Fifth Grade through High School. The group participated in the County Christmas Music Festival, the Chatham and Gretna Christmas parades, the Homecoming parade and they entertained the Parent- Teachers Association in December. P6y sical Gduc tion See s 5o Develop Co-ordinafion Health and physical co-ordination are stressed in both the boy ' s and girl ' s physical program. Due to crowded conditions, the classes are limited to the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Grades. The students enjoy the competition offered by participating in games and exercises. Brenda Lovelace, Ellen Smith and Mary Alice Shelhorse seem to be having a good time. They are playing in a hard fought game of volley-ball. Virgil Hedrick, Kenny Saunders and Lionel Rey- nolds took time out from Physical Education to pose for us. They seemed to be enjoying basketball free throw when we barged in. These four young ladies (Bonnie Collins, Anita Bowles, Arlene Adams, and Carolyn Perkins) have just finished their gymnastics and are ready now for a game of volley-ball. These are all Eighth Graders. Practical Home And 3arni Practices Augfit 9n ij The Tenth Grade class was studying sewing when we visited them. Nancy Hodges and Judy Rowland are learning how to handle a sewing machine. Over to the left and in the background the girls are discussing and studying pat- terns. The Future Homemakers enjoyed arranging the bulletin board before school opened in September. They re- minded us that the F.H.A. girls are Bell Ringers. Linda Adams, Patsy Bayliss andJean Hedrick have arranged a most attractive board. The Homemaking classes study units on foods, clothing, home decora- tion, personal grooming, health, child care and other projects around the home. Whether the students go further with their education or decide on marriage after graduation, they find these practices quite helpful. The Senior Homemaking class, i while studying foods, were shown slides I on correct procedure of making salads j by Mrs. Evelyn Mann. As the slides | were shown, explanations were given. | ! Homema ing Anci Uocafional Agriculture Classes ■ r n ' T Farm practices are studied and put into use by the members of the Vocation- al Agriculture Classes. The home pro- jects are an important part of their work. The records which they keep on these projects aid them in determining their success. Lowell Rowland won the tractor driving contest at Gretna and represent- ed the school in the County Contest, where he placed fourth. H. A. Merricks, Jr., Aaron Johnson and Kenneth Rowland helped to make picnic tables to sell as a project for the F. F. A. The F. F. A. boys used their shop training in constructing their float for Homecoming. Here we see a group composedof Aaron Johnson, H. A. Mer- ricks, Jr., Carroll Bailess and Lionel Reynolds building the foundation. 1 Our Gofal ; You have had a glimpse of some of the activities in our classes.

These, too, have been a part of our dreams and will live on in the future as pleasant memories. Homecoming Queen And Attend ints Maid-Of-Honor GAYNELLE TAYLOR Homecoming Queen MARTHA VAUGHAN - Sponsored By QirVs Monogviim CluS The Queen ' s float was sponsored by the Girl ' s Monogram Club, On it were the repre- sentatives from each grade. The float was decorated with red foil paper and white crepe paper fringe. At the back, on the arch, Mono- gram Club was in silver with red roses add- ing color. Streamers of red ribbon with the grades on them were in front of each repre- sentative. At the right we get a close up of the Senior girls, Martha Vaughan and Gaynelle Taylor (at this time no-one knew which was queen). At the bottom, on the first step, we see Caro- lyn Matherly, Eighth Grade and Sandra Hen- drix, Ninth Grade; second step, Marie Inge, Tenth Grade and Sally Pillow, Eleventh Grade; and on the last step, Martha Vaughan and Gay- nelle Taylor. •s On Qfie Pouring Rain Band Phyed on |i Into every life some rain must fall we ' ve heard, and it sure fell on the Home- coming parade! It drizzled most of the day, but really rained hard during the parade. You can see it glistening on the highway as the Majorettes, Band and Hawk- ettes approach. The cheerleaders followed the Hawk- ettes in an opened convertible. They were already for the football game that night. The game was later postponed. 5fie MAjoveiies And H iw ettes Paraded And LET ' B.RGLLTO VI CTa RJ j BETA CLUB - FIRST PLACE The Beta Float in the club ' s colors of gold and black, with Jewel Roark and Bill Love on it, de- picted the goals of the club, as well as the spirit of Homecoming. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA - SECOND PLACE The F. F. A. in yellow and green was beautiful and possibly damaged more than any other by the rain. The yellow sunflower which Kenny Saunders is standing by and the yellow and green ear of corn which Lionel Reynolds holds are symbolic of the work of the F. F. A. Qfie Jloats loafed By!! EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE CLUB - THIRD PLACE The Eighth Grade Science Float with Melba Creasy and Gail Witcher are showing that Science Around the World is important today. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA - FOURTH PLACE The Future Homemakers are on a Rocket Ride and want you to be Fashion Wise in this Space Age. Rebecca Dalton, space man; Nancy Howell, Linda Adams, Jean Hedrick, Linda Bayliss, Judy Dalton and Kathy Harrison are the models. THE VARSITY CLUB won honorable mention with Blast Those Rebels showing what they would like to do to Appomattox in the football game. Richard Cocke, Joe Powell, Tommy Mayhew and Tommy Merricks are members of the Midget Team. Honorable mention also went the LIBRARY CLUB who say If you must be a worm, be a bookworm. Coy Simpson surrounded by books is looking at the worm. This float was much more interesting than shown by the picture. THE PARROT STAFF advise you to Read the Parrot . Riding the float are Judy Davis, Betty Tate, Emma Craddock, Shelby Trent, Aubrey Yeatts, and Earline Dalton. THE CAMERA CLUB show Christian education from first grade thru graduation with Wade Eades and Mary Lynn Hiler as First Graders; Dennis Craddock and Mary Ann Towler, High School students; and Jerry Wyatt and Brenda Bowling as Seniors. The GRETNA TRI-HI-Y wanted to Blossom Out and Skunk ' em . They were quite colorful with the black skunk and blossom pedals around the necks of Iris Hullender, Phyllis Rowland, Emily Rowland, Mittie Lou Edmunds, Carol AnnRowles, Margaret Yeatts and Mar- cella Frazier. Barbara Kepley and Carroll Lee Davidson are riding the PIEDMONT TRI-HI-Y and GRETNA HI-Y float which stands for A Free Christian Nation. These two floats were sponsored by the three clubs together. The Boy Scout Troop represented the STUDENT COOPERATIVE AS- SOCIATION with the slogan Support your country thru your S.C.A. This is the future G. H. S. football team. The new blue and red suits are quite colorful and tell of two groups known as the BLUE TEAM and the RED TEAM. THE PEP float suggests Sports- manship in All Sports . Roy Custer helped to construct the arch. On the float representing football are Keith Pendergrass and Mike Scruggs, with John Blum, Jr. for baseball and Leonard Austin for basketball. The jalopy was thrown in for good measure- no one will claim it. Calvin Perkins is chauffer for Jim Baldwin and Clarence Dawson. The cheerleaders were presented with a yellow mum corsage at the dance. They were all ready for the game which didn ' t materialize. Row 1: Dolly Daw- son, Peggy Saunders, Carolyn Atkinson.

Senior Class Presents Lowell Rowland and Jimmy Dalton do not seem to be excited over the mouse, even if Shelby Trent is laying the law down. Could Carole Sue ' s charms have Carroll Lee Davidson awed? Ma Shelby seems to be disgusted with Pa Lowell. The entire cast is relax- ing and seem to be enjoying themselves.
