As we look back, we remember the various ways we have worked and developed together. In our minds, we picture the first football team, fighting courageously against heavy odds. We remember our first assemblies, pep rallies, dances, classes, and teachers. This first year has not been an easy one, but the school spirit has become more apparent, pre¬ cedents have been set, and traditions established. This book is an indelible chronicle of our first year, its high points and low, victories and de¬ feats. The staff, by using our mascot, the Tiger, as your guide, would like to present to you the story of our first year at Groveton in this, the first volume of the “Tigerama”. We hope you will pause for a moment and recall the various ways we grew together in our first year at Groveton.

Spontn . 55 CIciHei.73 Adventi ementu . 107 On my arrival at Groveton, during a pep rally before the Hammond football game, I found myself obeying the commands of the Hammond Admirals. I was bewildered at first as I was brought into the building in a cage. The large gym was packed with cheering students and as I was released I realized that the students were cheering for me, and that I had been elected as their mascot. I could see by the spirit of the stu¬ dents, that second place wouldn’t do for the Groveton Tiger. All the students helped me and to¬ gether we put Groveton on top! Our Tiger finally captured and conquered the Admiral. 4 We Salute Oun 3in.nt Principal. . Mr. Chesley had great respon¬ sibilities in serving our school its first year. He has not only done the numerous duties of his job but we feel he has also been an exceptional principal in that he always finds time to deal with our immediate as well as our unforseen problems. We also know that for months before the opening of school, Mr. Chesley spent much time preparing for our first year at Groveton. The staff of Tigerama sincerely feels that Mr. Chesley has dedicated himself to the administration of Groveton and that he is a person of great quality and ability. For his understanding, service, devotion, and loyalty, we dedicate this, our first edition of Tigerama to you, Mr. Chesley. Mr. Chesley opens the door of our new school. Mr. Chesley works with his assistant, Mr. Phipps. Mr. Chesley with his wife and sons, Cary, Jay, and Curt. 5 Jhe Ylaminq and be iqninq. off Oun. IfeanUook Joyce Taormina names our book. Miss Morris, yearbook spon¬ sor, congratulates Joyce. The Name “Tigerama” was the name chosen for the Groveton High annual. It was submitted in a contest held during subscrip¬ tion sales by Joyce Taromina, a Freshman. The student body offered many other acceptable sug¬ gestions. It was truly a hard job for the staff to choose one name from the top ten that had been selected by the Year¬ book club. A name that would be appropriate for a year¬ book from Groveton High School, one that would hold meaning to the many people that will read them years from now. To use the name “Tigerama” means, more or less, a panoramic or overall view of the Tigers and life at our school. The staff sincerely believes that “Tigerama” fulfills all the requirements, and we hope you, too, will be proud of this name. The Cover The cover for the first edition of “Tigerama” was designed by Elaine Beard, art editor; and Kay Barret, assistant art editor. They felt that the Black and Gold, were the appropriate colors to decorate the first cover of our yearbook. The bursting through of the tiger seems to symbolize all of the beginnings brought about in our first year at Groveton High School. The tiger reflects all that is Groveton—the strength, spirit, and even placidness, so evident to everyone who has been in contact with our school. After designing the cover, Elaine Beard and Kay Barret decorate the showcase—with themselves! Adminiatnation I realize now the many problems in having a smooth-running school, especially the first year. During the spring of 1956 I dropped in on a meeting at Bucknell school of Mr. Ches- ley and the future Groveton faculty. There was such a friendly atmosphere that I was certain that Groveton would get off to a good start. I was also aware of the wonderful challenge the teachers felt faced them in opening a new school. Early in the fall, a deep friendship had developed among the teachers, a bond I ob¬ served by looking in on their picnics and din¬ ners. It was only natural that this friendliness would be contagious and would spread among the faculty and students. It was satisfying to know that whenever I was confused about anything there would al¬ ways be someone willing to help and advise me. The administration and faculty did much to nurture growth during our first year. 7 School f: Mr. Clyde W. Gleason Mr. Robert F. Daves Mr. C. Turner Hudgins 8 i Bound Mr. W. T. Woodson Long before any of us were thinking about the principles in¬ volved in Algebra, Chemistry, Latin, and American History, the Fairfax County School Board was considering the building of a new high school in this area. As far back as 1952 the School Board began its search for the appropriate location. Upon studying a survey, the Popkins Lane site proved to be the most desirable and it contained the required 22 acres. In July of 1954 the ground was broken. For those of us watch¬ ing the progress of the growing building it was a long two years. Then in September, 1956, we arrived, writing the first chapter of Grove- ton’s history in the roll books. It is hard for us to realize the cost involved in the building of a school the size of Groveton. Not counting the new wing or the cost of the land, the bill was $1,649,000. We commend the school board on their foresight in our present building and planning the addition to accommodate the area’s grow¬ ing need. Mr. Theodore S. Heriot Mr. Samuel S. Solomon Mr. Woodson and Mr. Harold Ford, assistant superintendent of instruction, visit our school. Mr. Hillis Long Hi u Mr. Merlon S. Parsons A dminiat nation MR. EMORY CHESLEY Mr. Chesley, our Principal, received his A.B. from Western Mary¬ land and his M.A. from George Washington University. He was assis¬ tant principal and classroom teacher at Fairfax High. He began his duties as head of this school in February, 1956. A Message from Our Principal Groveton High School is the embodiment of faith in you and future generations. This is the expression of the value of educa¬ tion which strives toward strong character, leader¬ ship and scholarship that may prove of worth to our world. It is the dream that Groveton High School may help give direction to life through high ideals, principles and knowledge and that when you leave you will be richer, better, wiser, because of having attended. MRS. RUTH MEAD Our guidance director, Mrs. Mead received her B.A. from .Ameri¬ can University, and is doing her graduate work at George Washington University. She came to Groveton from Annandale, where she was teacher and councilor of the 8th grade. Previously she taught at Fair¬ fax and Washington, D.C. MR. ROBERT PHIPPS Mr. Phipps, our assistant principal, was awarded his B.S. by the West Virginia Institute of Technology and his M Ed by University of Maryland. He previously served as assistant principal of Annandale and taught Industrial Arts at Fairfax High School. Along with his duties as Assistant principal, he is co-spon- sor of the Student Government here at Groveton. 9 MISS FRANCES BRICKEY B.S., Madison College Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typing MR. E. C.

The Groveton Teen-Age Club enjoyed “Battle Hymn” when they were guests of Colonel Hess. Qnoveton ' d Colonel Dean Hedd SJndpined lJouth Ad He Sensed the Wonld The Tiger watches with interest! The distinguished father of one of Groveton’s 8th Grade students, Col. Dean Hess, was instrumental in the organiza¬ tion of the Groveton Teen-Age Club. This club furnishes recreation and var¬ ious activities for the teen-agers in the Groveton area. However, his greatest achievement has been establishing and maintaining a home for the orphans of the Korean war and he has devoted himself to this project. While he was in service there, he saw the great need of these children, and being a father and minister, his heart went out to them. He made pos¬ sible this Korean orphanage and created good-will with other nations. Through this he has brought recognition to our school. A great honor was bestowed on Col. Hess and also on Groveton High School, when he was selected to appear on the television show, “This Is Your Life” in the fall of 1956. The auto-biography of his life was converted into a movie, “Bat¬ tle Hymn.” Through his many great accomplish¬ ments, he has been an inspiration to many who have come into contact with him and his works. The celebrity visits Groveton High School with Larry after their T.V. appearance. Dean Hess is seen with Mrs. Whang, director of the Korean orphanage he founded, and one of the hundreds of war orphans he saved from the Com¬ munists when Seoul fell. 22 Activities To a social-minded tiger the activities of the past year can all be summed up in a few words: lots of fun for everyone! There were dances galore from formals right down to the most informal dances possible. I guess about the first activity we had was the Magazine Drive. Our week in Dogpatch was just as in¬ formal as it could be, and everybody became better acquainted. We really let our hair down during the whole week-long “shin-dig’ ' which ended with a Sadie Hawkins dance. Belonging and participating in the various clubs helped me to grow socially and spirit¬ ually and I realized that my talent and leader¬ ship abilities were developed by working and living ' with others. 23 Jhe Students Who Produced The Editorial Staff.

Uhe 3iut Uiqenama YEARBOOK CLUB AND STAFF At the beginning of the year, thirty-five students were chosen from the applicants to put out the first edition of the yearbook, under the sponsorship of Miss Morris. The club’s first project was an Ad Drive. This helped all the yearbook members to get better acquainted with each other and learn to work together. An en¬ tertaining kick-off assembly was held in January to arouse inter¬ est among all the students in naming and purchasing the book. During the same week individ¬ ual class pictures were taken. In celebration of our suc¬ cessful Ad Drive a spaghetti dinner was held in the Home Economics Department. After supper a business meeting was held during which yearbook members selected twelve names from a long list which had been submitted by those who pur¬ chased books. Later the staff selected the winning name, Ti jerama. Our second social affair was a picnic held at the home of Crellin James, to pro¬ vide entertainment and relaxa¬ tion after sending the first half of the book to press.

One person was elected from each Junior English class to serve on this committee. However, as the year pro¬ gressed and student activities in¬ creased, the committee grew from these original six to fourteen. The Steering Committee’s first project was the Magazine Campaign, which was the school’s first organized group activity. School Spirit was greatly aroused as the students worked together. This committee also started the Safety Council and sponsored the Clean-up Campaign. Seated: Pat Watson, Peggy Kimberlin, Mrs. James, Schmidtlein, Carlson Becker, Paul Dove, and Duff Cogar.

An election was organized by the Steering Committee for the S.C.A. officers for 1957-1958.

Rita Wyatt, Jackie Potters, Maureen Zimmer¬ man and Mr. Tom Leader, present an Easter program to the Student body. Soon after school opened the club sponsored a chapel before school for all students who wished to at¬ tend and also wrote the Blessing to be used in the cafeteria and led it each day. It helped sponsor a special Easter assembly. Besides these activities which directly influenced the students, a Bible Quiz Team competed very favor¬ ably with other schools. Maureen Zimmerman placed on the Northern Virginia Quiz Team. Club meetings have been held each Wednesday, under the sponsorship of Miss Wood. The Bible Club truly helped the student body to grow together with God and man. Jay Stowell, reporter; Mickey Fleming, Secretary; Danny Rakes, Vice-president; Maureen Zimmerman, President.

Qnowinq Spiritually, Shortly after the opening of school, the stu¬ dents felt the need for saying Grace during the lunch periods. After the Bible Club wrote this blessing the Wood Shop constructed two plaques so that the words might be read by everyone. The Art Department lettered and completed the plaques. These three groups, working together, have begun a tradition in our school that will enrich the lives of the students and faculty this year and for many years to come. The plaques now hang in the cafeteria where they are used daily during lunch. Thus we grow spiritually. Time for Grace! 29 The initial art program of Groveton incompassed a full schedule for both the inexperienced artists, in¬ cluding an introductory course for the eighth grade and students who had studied art. In addition to sculpture, drawing and painting, much work was done in basic composition and color design. The stress throughout was placed upon the emotional education of the stu¬ dent using art media as a tool towards this end. Qnoveton ' a Actinia President, Violet Olson Members: C. J.

The ofTicers of the Mt. Vernon Chap¬ ter of the Future Homemakers of America conducted the installation ceremonies for the first officers of the Groveton F.H.A. Chapter, which was organized on October 17, 1956. Following this impressive begin¬ ning the Club set “service to others” as their main objective for the year. Among their many projects were the making of cookies for veterans hospitals and school functions, and a Valentine Party Box, also sent to Veterans Hospitals in the Washing¬ ton Area. The eighth grade members con¬ tributed their share of service to the com¬ munity by conducting the Junior Red Cross Drive. As a service to the school, the Breakfast club was operated each morning. Another outstanding activity for the new club, was the sponsoring of Groveton High School’s first formal dance, “December Freeze.” This past spring the club assisted in conducting the Easter Seal Drive in the communities surrounding the school. In ad¬ dition, some of the F.H.A. members acted as hostesses for the monthly Steering Com¬ mittee dinner meetings and several faculty dinners. The final project for the year was the Parent-Daughter Banquet, held in May at which time the 1957-58 officers were in¬ stalled. A final highlight was the presentation of an Outstanding Chapter Award to the club at the State F.H.A. Conference, Rad¬ ford College in June.

The “Spring Frolic”, sponsored by the Spanish Club, turns out to be a big success. Our first Spanish Club was organized on November 21, 1956, under the sponsorship of Miss Hutchinson. The membership consisted of Spanish students and those who had lived in the Spanish-speaking countries. Numerous and inter¬ esting activities were enjoyed. Among them were the field trip to the Pan-American Building, learning Spanish dances and songs and present¬ ing plays. The Spring Frolic climaxed a very successful yea? for this club.

All the students in the club be¬ came familiar with the life, govern¬ ment, customs, and dress of the Ro¬ mans by viewing colorful films of these subjects or by listening to interesting reports given by fellow students. On May 9, the Fairfax Chapter of the Junior Classical League pre¬ sented our Club with a chapter there¬ by entitling us to membership. At this time, members were presented J.C.L. membership pins.

The publication of Groveton’s newspaper, The Tiger Rag, was accomplished by joint work of the club, staff, and the journalism class. The club met on Monday afternoons. This year the paper was mimeographed and the club feels that the experience they have gained from d:is will help them in the future when they hope to have a printed paper. During the first semester the club selected co¬ editors each month. At mid-term Evelyn Edson and Bonnie Graham were selected as permanent co-editors. Issues were published monthly for the 1st semester and bi¬ monthly thereafter making a total of 14 publications. Newspaper work was hard but nevertheless there was time for fun when the club sponsored a record hop starring Jay Perri. The profits from this were used to help finance the paper.

The two choral classes combined as one mixed chorus for performances and opened the membership to extra students in October. These stu¬ dents attended rehearsals after school, in order to participate in the choral performances. By February, the mixed chorus boasted an enrollment of 88 active members. The chorus performed on several occasions for the SPTA programs and presented Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies for the student body. It combined with the band to give the First Christmas Concert. In March, the chorus participated in the District Music Festival, held at George Washington High School. For this performance, it was awarded a II rating, representing an excellent performance. The First Annual Spring Concert entitled “Music America Loves Best ’, an original production, was presented on April 12. The concert was given to a capacity audience and the proceeds were used to help with the purchase of choir robes. The interest among students to participate in the choral program has grown so rapidly that a mixed chorus, two girls’ choruses, a boys’ chorus, and an advanced choir have been planned for next year.

Members of the Junior class had a chance to test their dramatic ability when they presented “Come Out of the Closet,” a Mystery-comedy, on April 4 and 5. The ever-growing Groveton school spirit was displayed by the crowds that braved the downpour to see the performance. The “locked closet door that insisted upon swinging open at inauspicious moments and the time that George missed the fainting Mrs. Phil¬ lips were a lot funnier than some of the lines. Guthrie Rosewater ' s poetry has certainly left its mark on the literary ability of the Juniors.

When I received this formal invitation and remembered the good time I had at the December Freeze, 1 shook the moth balls out of my tux, dusted off my top hat, grabbed my cane and was ready to go. When I first stepped through the door I wondered, “Is this Groveton or Waikiki?” The murals painted by Mr. Moise and his talented art classes gave a true picture of Hawaii. Around the tables there were many beautiful girls in fluffy dresses. I could not resist the temptation to invite the prettiest one to dance, but when we took the first step we found the floor better for skating than dancing. When I regained my balance, I noticed a very unusual dress worn by Mrs. Harris, a faculty member. As I chatted with her, she told me that the dress was the original Hawaiian evening attire that she had bought when living there. As the dance drew to a close, everyone was invited to a breakfast in the cafeteria. This evening was a perfect ending to the first year at Groveton High School. Underclassmen serve punch to Juniors.

The runner-ups in Forensics are: Robert Haskell, Kenny Weidner, Camilla Clocker, and Bonnie Graham. SMlli Mrs. Howard proved to be a great help as sponsor of the Forensics. On March 4, 1957, the first annual Forensics Night was held for the purpose of securing en¬ tries for the Group II forensics contest. Contest¬ ants for the six categories were chosen. After be¬ ing coached by their sponsor, Mrs. Howard, they went to the Loudoun County High School, in Leesburg. James Mark and Evelyn Edson won Distinguished ratings; while Superior awards went to Randi Sigmund and Maureen Zimmer¬ man. In addition, James Mark was awarded First Place in District Nine and represented Groveton and this district in the State Forensics held at the University of Virginia on April 26. Through this activity the students have in¬ creased their knowledge of speaking, reading, and spelling. Groveton High is honored as Jim Mark places first in the district in Public Speaking, and third in the State of Virginia. 46 Jiqen Jwinlen O Left to right: Becky Turner, Kitty Moulton, Phyllis Jaynes, Wanda Becker, Linda Greer, Paula Drayton, Betty Anderson, June Spicer. MAJORETTES “One of my enjoyable pastimes at Groveton was spent after school, watching the eight majorettes practicing and mastering the skill of baton twirling. I remember distinctly the day they were chosen, and was I glad that I was not a judge, for the entire thirty girls in the tryouts looked go od to me.” “As I watched these girls practice, under the capable leadership of Linda Greer, I visualized eight strutting figures in gold uniforms, slightly touched in black, performing be¬ fore the Golden Tiger Band, that plays “bang-up” music, marching in perfect formation. I overheard the majorettes planning to attend a band and twirling camp in order to learn the newest routines. I suggest you watch for their debut n September, 1957.” Miss Latta, Mr. Buskirk, and Linda Greer plan for the coming season. The girls practice hard for the coming year.

Rated Excellent The Golden Tiger Band was organized at the begin¬ ning of school under the able direction of Mr. Everette Bus¬ kirk. Because the members of the band came from all parts of the area, it was no small task to get the band in shape for the coming year. Those who attended the football games will remember the band’s stirring marches and pep music as one of the bright spots in some of the games. But more important than this were two other accom¬ plishments of which we are very proud. Our band received a rating of II, or excellent, at the Virginia Band Educators Association Instrumental Music Festival, held at Groveton High School, on March 23rd. We were host to 29 schools. and about 1,650 people,—quite an undertaking for a school in its first year. The Band also participated in the combined Band and Chorus Concert, numerous assemblies, the Spring Con¬ cert, and during the last part of the year toured the area elementary schools. Starting from scratch, the Band has reached, with the support of the school and the Band Patrons Club, its goal of one of the finest bands in the area.

Even before the football team started practicing, the Varsity cheerleaders were busy writing and learning new cheers. It was fun meeting at the individual girls’ homes. The girls started from scratch, making up new cheers, and deciding on their uniforms. This was no easy task for the girls who had never cheered before, and it was hard for the other girls to break away from old habits and form new ideas; but the experience of some of the girls was very beneficial to the squad. The girls had fun working together and were con¬ stantly thinking about how to develop a good spirit in a new school. As the year went on they grew together not only as a team but as friends. Wonder what the girls are cooking up now? By the way, look at that score! The varsity girls help spur the Tigers on at a pep rally. After long hot summer hours of practice, theJ.V. Cheer¬ leaders welcomed the first game and the opportunity of testing their efforts. These nine girls were entering into their first year.of Cheerleading and were eager to experience the thrills that were in store for them. They followed the J.V. boys to football and basketball games and shared in helping create and maintain good school spirit, during the games and pep rallies. J.V. Cheerleaders: Judy Thompson, Dinah Moses, Secretary-Treasurer, Crellin James; Beverly Pearson, Captain, Reba Calvert, Donna Emerson, Co-Captain, Brownie di Zerega, Ellen Shapiro, and Barbara Slayton. Cheem fton the Cul ! Miss Hutchinson sponsors J.V. and Varsity Cheerleaders, while Miss Smith sponsors 8th Grade Cheerleaders. 8th Grade Cheerleaders: Louisa Frank, Gay Hosmer, Shelly Smith, front; Pat Lewis, back; Babs Barret, Betty Tinkham. These five girls got off to a late start, but followed the 8th Grade teams with faithful support. Under the leadership of Miss Smith, they worked hard to make up their own cheers, different from those of the Varsity andjunior Varsity. The girls planned their own uniforms, which are very attractive. They worked to¬ gether in their group, taking turns leading the squad at the games, and during Bas¬ ketball season, they gave up many Saturday mornings, cheering the 8th Grade team on to victory. 53 Jacultq Platan a Biq Pant in Activities Mr. and Mrs. Davis ring wedding bells during the Christmas holidays.

Those of us who attended those rain-soaked football games had to take almost as much equipment as the players for protection against Mother Nature. I remember so well that terrible night when I was kidnapped by Hammond High School at a basketball game. Never again will I be so terrified. I was positive that I had been deserted by all my friends, until I glanced be¬ hind me and saw that the whole Groveton side of the gym had emptied to spare me from my fate. After that frightful experience, I had two tiger guards escort me to games. It thrilled me to see our teams and fans have good, wholesome, school spirit. 55 Jhe Vamity Jootball Squad % t- ■ n P .W X v V ' Paul Dove Juilo Bentancourt Howard Craig Dick Bramley Do Ug R ee d Chuck Downey v r L. art ( | Tom Hill Bill Pickering Ranny Enoch r i Ok Gil Lorenz ) % ' John Callahan 1 V 1 % Bob Troxler Marvin Crenshaw 0 ( John Lilly Dave McIntyre Jeff Nichols ■i ne Jim Turner Paul VVease C.

School spirit was awakened by the first Tiger Football Team which displayed exceptional playing ability. Their gridiron achievements increased as they learned to work together as a team. Even up against top opposition, the Tigers never let up; it paid of! in a 13-13 tie with George Ma¬ son and a narrow 14-13 loss to Fairfax, two teams they were not even supposed to score against. Both games were thrillers and Bill Pickering and Julio Betancourt really started Groveton’s His¬ tory in football as they went over the goal line for the first two touchdowns. The Tigers also displayed a tremendous amount of spirit during the entire season. This was felt throughout the school and community as their following in¬ creased with every contest. The fans were often forced to come equipped with raincoats and umbrellas due to inclement weather which prevailed every Saturday. The football team finished the season with a 1-5-1 record, but no one feels the season was a complete loss, in that they gained that important year of experience so valuable to the in¬ experienced Freshmen, Sopho¬ mores, and Juniors on the team.

Eighty boys of various interests signed up. The largest interest groups were then organized by Mr. Keelv, the spon¬ sor. The fencing club, one of the larger outgrowths, hold a brief meeting one night a week after which they all take part in a vigorous hour of drill and fencing. Mr. Fulton Dye, a champion fencer, serviced as master instructor. He was assisted by Miss Billie Bryan and Mr. Bob Wilson. The tumbling club was organized as a result of interest expressed by 20 members of the Physical Skills Club. In February the club put on an exhibition for the S.P.T.A. More and more the club members are realizing the great values derived from Physical Skills. The leaders feel that because of this growing interest the club will be ready for competition with other schools next year. Mr. Keeley organized and sponsored all groups of Physical Skills this year.

In every game the team spirit grew and fought such mount¬ ing odds as an inexperienced team often faces. The mid¬ season loss of C. M. Trinkle, and injuries to some of our other star players increased the handicap. However, Skip Johnson made second string on the All-County Team and Dick Bramley received honorable mention. Dick also made first string on All-Surburban Team. Dale Gordon’s rebounding and Ray Novotny’s consistent playing were a great aid to the team. When the stands rose to rescue our Tiger from the hands of the Hammond Admirals, the school spirit grew to a new high. In the evidence of willingness to fight for the Mascot of the school. Grovetonites felt a new together¬ ness, which continued to grow throughout the Basketball Season.

Sandra Morrissey’s sharpshooting was a great aid to the team, while Twyla Arven and Dot Murray formed the backbone of the strong defence.

The Varsity started the season on a muddy, wet field at Annandale, but this did not dampen their spirits or abilities. Peggy Swindell, supported by the team, scored three points to their opponents one. And thus our Varsity Hockey Team was on its way. The Junior Varsity team began their season at Ann¬ andale also. Even though Kate Avery scored a goal they did not win their first game. Neither team had a spectacular season, but they let Groveton’s might be felt in each game they played.

The sacks were held down by Satch Fraley, Charlie Henderson, and Roger Berryman and the shortstop position was filled by John Lilly who led the team in batting with a .448 average. Betancourt, Shiflett, Treiber, Pettit, Wease, and Enoch filled the outfield positions. Fhe result of growing together in the other sports led to a record which excelled that of Football and Bas¬ ketball. With our first year behind us we are looking forward to an even better record next season.

Cuba Qain Experience There are three purposes in playing eighth grade sports. Namely, building big¬ ger and better Junior Varsity teams, helping the eighth graders feel that they are a part of the school, and encouraging them to develope physical skills. Even though this was our first year, the eighth grade boys were not deprived of these opportunities f or they were active in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. The Football Team was coached by Mr. Garman and Mr. Fadson; Basketball by Mr. Davis; and Baseball by Mr. Hannah. All in all, the eighth grade coaches and teams have given Groveton a solid foundation for the future.

Sometimes I won¬ der why we have them, but when we think seriously about school we know that learning js our real purpose for attending. This year there were five minutes between bells and many times I sat hypnotized by the jungle maze of legs rushing past me. One day I decided to fol¬ low a pair of these legs to their classroom. I dashed ahead at top speed and when I finally got there I was completely exhausted. The bell rang and the classroom was paradise compared to the hallways. When I think of classes I also think how, as four big units, we operated and organized class activitie s. Class elections were exciting, educational and fun. The Junior Class, natu¬ rally, took the lead in many things, but each class had a big place at Groveton. We felt ourselves growing mentalU and socially by belonging to these class groups 73 First bus arrives for classes Driver training prepares students for Rodeo, sponsored by Safety Council.

Oun Patnona Looking back on my work on the year¬ book I recall so vividly our first group project -the Ad Drive. I along, with my co-workers, was young, timid, and inexperienced in meet¬ ing the public. I can recall many of our friends in business were not familiar with our school and the job was doubly hard, for we first had to acquaint them with Groveton High. H owever, it was gratifying to find them so co-operative and willing to help us in our first effort in the advertising field. Not only did we attempt to get ads, but we tried to create a feeling of mutual friendship and good will. Thus we found ourselves becoming a part of our community. 107 Oun Stan Salesmen The publication of any yearbook is no small task, and being a new school the burden was even greater. The Yearbook Club assumed the responsibility of soliciting for ads. After much dis¬ cussion, a goal of SI,300 was set and the members grouped them¬ selves into teams. They competed to see who could collect the most money. It was decided that an individual collecting over S100 would be considered a star salesman. The drive was started im¬ mediately after Thanksgiving and went very slowly until members became better acquainted, learned how to work together, and be¬ came more skilled in approaching the public. The drive picked up momentum and the club finally met success for the first time as a group. The star salesmen were: John Mang, Ann di Zerega, Joanna Gist, and Maxine Sullivan. The high groups were: Max¬ ine Sullivan’s group with $334 and John Mang’s group with $246. The club attained its goal and to commemorate this joyful occa¬ sion it dined in the Home Economic Department on spaghetti and meat sauce. And thus the Club has grown in a business and social way.
