Groveton High School - Tigerama Yearbook (Alexandria, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 214 of the 1962 volume:

Just as the world joins annually in an atmosphere of universal good will and peace during the Yuletide season, so did Groveton- ites, in a smaller, although no lesser way. Some international representatives shared the season with us in person. In spite of a cold war, many countries sent greetings to the national Pageant of Peace. A conscious effort was made to cross the many borders of differences, and to broaden oneself, and through one’s self, one’s country. Let us hope this is not a seasonal mood, but a constant one, one that may show us how we may further extend ourselves. 1962 . i - .i.. • . •• ' i TIGERAMA Sixth Edition Groveton High School Fairfax County Alexandria, Virginia Announcing the day’s activities from the P.A. room are SCA treasurer Jane DeBriyn and reporter Russell Osmond. “May We Have Your Attention Please” . . . With this familiar phrase, another day, another year begins. Let us hope that this year will not be merely a revival of the old, but an awakening of the new. A span of 185 school days awaits us with the limitless opportunities for each student to broaden his horizon — past the four classroom walls, past the school corridors — to look at our country and others, and to become acquainted with them. Will we meet the challenge of academics? Will we broaden our activities program? Will we increase our athletic participation? Will we mature wisely as individuals? Will we contribute positively to our community? Will we be able to reach beyond ourselves, our school, and our community? Each division of this book unfolds to symbolize our hopes and expectations to project ourselves into all phases of school life. Success is not always measured in numbers; the criteria are far deeper. We must be more concerned with the quality of our every endeavor, with the depth of our every thought, and most important, with giving of ourselves. As we face this year, let us consider how, with the infinite choices open to us, we can extend ourselves.

I Several dynamic changes have improved the quality of education in the scholastic curriculum. Two experimental teaching pro¬ grams were introduced, one in the field of mathematics, and one in the combined fields of English and social studies. A modern math course, which stressed the theory be¬ hind mathematical procedures, was instituted in two trial classes. A relatively new idea in education, the team-teaching experiment lessened the in¬ structional duties of the teachers, allowing them more time to prepare their lectures. This system has also become integrated into the World Geography classes, where teachers rotated instruction according to their areas of specialization. These achievements have accelerated the trend toward interdepart¬ mental cooperation. Today’s career world requires an ever-increasing number of edu¬ cated and trained employees. To meet this need, students shall continue to widen their outlook and increase their knowledge. ATTENTION TO Working with weekly news magazines enables this geography class to keep abreast of trends in current affairs. World Geography teachers confer on material to be presented to the classes which were rotated every six weeks period. New Superintendent Enriches and Expands County Education Superintendent of Schools, Earl C. Funderburk; leaves the new school board building at the close of a busy day. Fairfax County School Board members for 1961-62 are Mrs. Joan Butler, Dranes- ville District; Dr. Hillis Lory, Lee District; Col. Waldron E. Leonard, Mt. Vernon District; Mr. Berge Thomasian, Falls Church District; Mr. F. Merritt Ruhlen, Mason District; Chairman Theodore S. Heriot, Centreville District; and Dr. Merton S. Parsons, Providence District. Many changes were instituted by the Fairfax County School Board, whose duty was providing adequate facilities for the ever-growing number of school children. Among these changes was the erection of a new administration building completed in January, I960, which was capable of housing 141 personnel. The representatives, including this district’s delegate, Col. Waldron E. Leonard, serving for his third term, met the first Tuesday of each month. (The chairman had the power, however, to call additional meetings on any Tuesday when there was a specific need as was the case this last spring.) Finding a replacement for a job is always a delicate task, but the Board displayed wisdom in its choice of Earl C. Funderburk to succeed Mr. Woodson as Superintendent of Schools. Born in Ansonville, North Carolina, Mr. Funderburk received his Bachelor of Arts and Master degrees from the university of his home state and then served in North Carolina schools as teacher, coach, principal, and superintendent before coming to Virginia in 1961. Active in church and civic affairs, he is currently a member of the Executive Committee of the National Education Association. Mr. Funderburk’s promotion of expansion and enrichment of county education is a definite asset to the school system. “Quality Education for our Changing World ” MEMO TO: Students and Faculty FROM: Administrative Staff THEME: Quality Education for our Changing World” To meet the ever-increasing demands of our rapidly changing world, the quality of education must be advanced. To improve each subject, teachers cooperatively designed courses of study to meet the specific needs and interests of our students. Coordination, correlation, and continuity of subjects were developed through departmental planning. The total curriculum design was the responsibility of depart¬ mental chairmen working with the administrative staff and county supervisory personnel. Identification of students was the most pressing need. We not only knew their intelligence quotients, reading abilities, test scores, and academic achievements, but recognized them as human beings with different interests, creative talents, and learning capacities. May we never accept satisfactory results when superior achievements can be realized. Giving awards to deserving students throughout the year is only one of the many duties of our principal, Mr. George Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs received his B.S. from the College of William and Mary, and his M.Ed. from the University of Virginia. Mr. Taylor, Mr. Gibbs, and Mr. Davis eagerly await the arrival of Santa by the fireplace, constructed for them by office workers. Mr. Davis and Mr. Taylor listen avidly to progress reports on the Project Mercury orbital flight. Mr. Taylor, Assistant Principal of Instruction, received his A.B. and M.Ed. from the University of North Carolina. Mr. Davis, Assistant Principal of Administration, received his B.S. from Gorham State Teacher’s College, and his M.A. from Colorado State College. 19 New Offices Provide Excellent Facilities for Guidance Have my transcripts been sent yet? inquires a harried MRS.

The Guidance Department sought to help each student according to individual needs. In addition to discussing students’s future plans and rearranging their schedules, Guidance performed many other duties. These included providing information concerning colleges and careers, issuing bulletins, arranging meetings between parents and teachers, and supervising a variety of tests. Among the tests given were the SCAT and STEP Tests, the College Board Listening Test, and the Kuder Voca¬ tional Preference Test. Instituted by the Guidance Department this year was a questionnaire sent to last year’s seniors which sought to discover which aspects of high school had proved most beneficial to them. The Director and the four counselors exerted much effort toward channeling students in the direction to which they were best suited, and aided in making decisions which may have great bearing on every individual’s future.

Librarians Improve Materials Available for Student Research Do you have a copy of Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales?” How many times have you asked a similar question of a librarian? Supervising one of the school’s best sources of knowledge, the library, Mrs. Williamson and her new assistant, Mrs. Ryan, expanded this important information center by adding 800 new books dealing chiefly with junior and senior English requirements. In addition to their regular duties, the librarians were in charge of all audio-visual equipment. With the assistance of 18 student helpers, hundreds of films were procured to supplement regular classroom materials. As an invaluable aid to students doing research work, the library extended its day one hour and a quarter in addition to regular school hours, a half hour in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon. Circulation expanded extensively as the library has grown in size and scope, seeking to provide for the demands and needs of every student. John Raines, Butch Arebaugh, Barry Lippard browse through books by and about Shakespeare, researching topics for their sophomore English class. MRS. MARION D.

Several innovations were instituted to satisfy student inquisitiveness concerning the history and motives behind the workings of the government. Qualifying government students were granted the opportunity to specialize under liberal supervision in the library, thereby manifesting their ability to work as individuals. Another progressive concept, team teaching for the United States-Virginia history course, enabled teachers to devote more time to improved preparation and delivery of each lecture and to present to students a variety of viewpoints. Modification of the team system took the form of class rotations every six weeks among world geography instructors. Additional modernizations in the department involved the purchase of new textbooks for world history and govern¬ ment classes. Three student teachers, Mr. Helig, Mr. Greaver, and Mr. Sherman, and additional reference books contributed to the social studies division. The department sought to prepare America’s future citizenry by effective teaching and keeping abreast of the times.

Eleventh grade English instructors combined their talents to teach classes in the auditorium. These concepts were also applied at other grade levels by a coordinator and through faculty meetings at which uniform courses of instruction were created. Mid-year research papers were mandatory for sopho¬ mores, who were allowed a liberal selection of subject matter , and for seniors, who were required to investigate a literary topic. Freshmen were taught library techniques of research, employing their knowledge in short papers. Juniors were excused in view of a U.S. History project. Cooperation was displayed not only within the depart¬ ment, but also among departments as well. The English and Social Studies divisions utilized the ream teaching program to correlate the history of the United States with its literature. Also in cooperation with the Social Studies Department, all English teachers taught their students how to take notes in outline form to profit more from lectures and to help write formal research papers. In the classroom, English teachers, with the aid of new grammar texts, sought to help the students’ writing by stressing the expression of thoughts more succinctly.

Intensification, practical utilization, and advancement are nouns that typified Groveton’s Foreign Language Department this year. The division, headed by Mrs. Struck, offered to the 786 foreign language students four-year courses in Latin, French, and Span ish. Extending to new horizons, the depart¬ ment will also offer next year instruction in Russian and German if a minimum of 60 students exhibits sufficient enthusiasm. In the Spanish I and II classes, projects were completed which perfected intense study of the habits of America’s south-of-the-border neighbors. The two Mexican exchange students, Jorge Martinez and Lourdes Robledo, augmented all Spanish classes with helpful instruction in pronunciation and customs of their country. Latin III and IV students translated Vergil, and each class culminated research of ancient Roman traditions with projects or papers handed in each semester. On April 7, fifteen students from Latin I-IV competed in the State Latin Contest held at St. Agnes. In the French classes, the Berlitz Pathoscope Method was introduced, which might be added to the curriculum if enough money is appropriated. By this method, students view stories with French dialogue, and then answer questions from booklets concerning the stories. Groveton acquired two new French teachers, Mmes. Nano and Vardac, who intermittently lectured to all classes in the language. r | • Mexican exchange students Lourdes Robledo and Jorge Martinez aid Mrs. Struck in preparing the oral part of the Spanish semester exams.

Interest in Science Field In this nuclear age, an increase in the mastery of science is vital. To fulfill this necessity, the science department, with Miss Wood serving as chairman, not only offered biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics but also reintroduced general science, directed mainly toward the freshmen. Along with an excellent supply of earth science equipment to aid classroom instruc¬ tion, Oscar, the human skeleton, was placed at the disposal of biology students. In March, the physics classes visited the Possum Point Power Plant on a trip sponsored by VEPCO. On March 29 and 30, three sopho¬ mores, Mary Ann Philips, Bob Larson, and Thomas Barefoot, visited Walter Reed Army Institute of Research under the patronage of the U. S. Army. Bob Jacobs performs a physics experiment with the Bunsen Photometer to determine the candle power of an unknown bulb, using one candle as a standard.

A new approach was the SMSG” program, experimentally adopted from Stanford University. Consisting of mathematics teachers and representatives of science and technology, the School Mathematics Study Group compiled a new series of textbooks which mirror the recent advances in the field of mathematics. Three trigonometry classes made use of the SMSG” Intermediate Mathematics texts while a fourth trigonometry class and one Algebra II class followed a course in Elementary Functions. These SMSG courses, which place emphasis on theory rather than memorization, lead students to a clearer under¬ standing of the fundamental concepts of mathematics. mr. eric d.

These were the questions that influenced many girls to enroll in homemaking courses. General home¬ making was omitted this year to allow for separate Home¬ making III and IV classes. Kitchen garbage-disposals, a new Singer Slant-O-Matic sewing machine, and numerous small appliances improved efficiency. More cooking experiments became possible with government surplus foods obtained through the cafeteria. Our important goal was class size reduction so that experience could be gained through individual work with closer assistance and supervision. Practicality was stressed as well as comprehension of homemaking responsibilities. MRS. CAROLYN C. RABUNSKY B.S.Ed., Madison College Home Economics F.H.A. S.C.A. Hospitality Committee F.E.A. MRS.

Miss Ryerson and Miss Hobbs, both from Madison College, acquired and practiced business education techniques. A survey of all business students was taken to show the adequacy of the courses both in substance and quality. The post-graduate student job-selection phase of the survey indicated that 79% became employed with the federal government.

With this experience, advan¬ tageous improvements were introduced. In the Research Laboratory, experimentation included working with plastics and refining petroleum. Planning and working independently in the lab, the students decided their own activities according to their specific interests. Their inventiveness was exemplified by sophomore Bill Weaver’s construction of a model of a hydroelectric plant. His lecture summary of this project was so expert that it was taped and played for shop department heads from other county schools. Next year this course will be opened exclusively to seniors and will be worth one full credit under the title of Research and Experimentation. MR.

These two courses, under the direction of Mrs. Bryson and Mr. Simms respectively, helped trainees to secure jobs while still enrolled in school. Classes attended by VOT students included office procedure, conduct and office machine operation. These 18 students applied their skills in an actual job situation arranged for them through VOT coordinator Mrs. Bryson. Eligibility requirements included twelfth grade status, completion of typing and shorthand courses with C” average and sufficient credits for graduation. Industrial Cooperative Training was organized similarly to VOT. Students received one credit from their employer and one from their instructor. The first semester was concentrated on taxes, business procedure, and behavior on the job. Specialized train¬ ing in fields of work chosen by the students was stressed second semester. Students seeking an ICT diploma participated in the District Convention on February 10 at Washing¬ ton and Lee High School and the State Convention held March 30-31, and April 1 in Richmond. At the former, winners included Linda Weldon, first place in spelling and bulletin board display; Sharon Percosky, second place in spelling; and John Link, first place in talent. i Employed part-time by Ryder Company, VOT student Melva Conlon computes value of various stocks and bonds.

The curriculum established firm foundations in a number of arts and crafts so that the student might gain competence in each. Courses included drawing, paint¬ ing, modeling, sculpturing, printing, and various crafts. In addition to classroom sessions, students were encouraged to provide scenery for dramatic produc¬ tions and decorations for offices and showcases. Miss Hill, art instructor, was instrumental in sponsoring a group of seven who attended the Van Gogh exhibition in Baltimore during the first two weekends in October. As the Art Department visited art exhibitions, the Music Department attended a concert at Constitution Hall. This was an experience in learning to appreciate classical as well as modern music. Under the expert instruction of Mrs. Tabor, Symphonic Choir sang at neighborhood Yuletide festivities, in Parkington Shopping Center, and for William Cullen Bryant and Bucknell P.T.A.’s. The band, under the baton of Mr. Everette Buskirk, performed at assemblies, con¬ certs, pep rallies, and football games.

Instruction stressed in¬ creased proficiency in the major team sports of which the basic fundamentals were acquired in the inter¬ mediate schools. Eleventh and twelfth graders participating in P.E. were also eligible for instruction in dual and individual sports and were excused from health classes. These health classes were alternated at three-week intervals with sports instruction. They were similar to those of previous years with the omission of the behind-the-wheel phase of Driver Education.

Basketball Mrs. Helen Babb, Bookkeeper Mrs. Marie Becker, Guidance Secretary Mrs. Freida Schmidt, Student Control Secretary Mrs. Dorothy Williams, Mr. Gibb’s Secretary Assistance from Many Keeps Four secretaries played invaluable roles in the efficient functioning of the school. In the attractive, modernized environment of the main office, Mrs. Williams was constantly engaged in the day’s business of issuing bulletins and sorting mail for Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Taylor. No longer housed in confined quarters, Mrs. Schmidt of Student Control worked in co-operation with Mr. Davis in checking students in and out of school. In the guidance department, Mrs. Becker served as secretary to the Director and Counselors. The fourth member of this indispensible quartet was Mrs. Babb, business manager and finance officer. Also playing a vital part in the school day were the sixteen women who constituted the cafeteria staff. From 11:05 to 1:20 these women served 900 to 1000 lunches to ravenous students during five lunch shifts. Enlarging this division, a 90 cubic-foot freezer and new garbage pails were installed. We couldn’t do without them,” was the consensus concerning this year’s student helpers. These students did many time-saving jobs such as answering the telephone and filing, which taught them perseverance and patience. Other efficient school operators were the custodians, headed by Mr. Whalen. These ten not only kept the school clean, but also fixed lockers, replaced lightbulbs, and assisted with activities. Usually performing two runs a day, bus drivers alternated between Groveton, Bryant, and elementary schools. Six student drivers took time out before and after school to execute their runs. Hearing tests, as demonstrated by Mrs. Davis, school nurse, and Pat Cave, were administered to all students in the fall. 40 School Running Smoothly Mrs. Schmidt and student control workers Jo Anne Smith, Barbara Carter, Sharon Palda, Bonnie O ' Brien, Judy Klouser, Betty Cox, Brenda Trenary, Suran Szadokierski, Pam Wells, Bonnie Weaver, Barry Kowalski, Sandra Legge, (seated) Janie Cooksey, Diana Dewey diligently check attendance each day. Student bus drivers Jim Watson, Charles Jaynes, John Crouch, and Lee Sloppy pause to chat while waiting to begin their regular runs. Mrs. Wing and Mrs. Northcraft, members of the cafeteria staff, perform one of the numerous duties which they complete daily for some fifteen hundred students. Carol Robinson, Sharon Price, Mary Ellen Hall, Berkley Henry, Nina Matera, Jane Yeaman, Eileen Loeffler practice office techniques while helping Mrs. Williams. 41 Mr. Whalen, Head Custodian, discusses plans for the day with Mr. Montgomery in the custodian ' s office. Mh MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION TO ACTIVITIES Activities form an important facet in the total education of students. Through activity beyond the classroom, a working knowledge of academic skills is acquired. Organiza¬ tions and special projects served as a respite from the rigors of class and helped to create well-rounded individuals. New clubs formed, satisfying the variety of interests, while through the efforts of ex¬ panded memberships, the established organi¬ zations grew in quality and depth. A great diversity of clubs was maintained, ranging from vocational organizations to honor societies to publications. Trying to avoid conflicts, the Student Cooperative Associa¬ tion coordinated activities and announced the current plans each morning, also using the SCAnarama to further inform the student body of future school functions. The school day, lengthened by one hour, was generally considered by students as detrimental to activities; however, the long fourth period was utilized by all three pub¬ lications, the SCA, and many other organiza¬ tions as an activities period. ATTENTION TO Streamers and a flowered arch converted the cafeteria into a pleasant setting for another outstanding Sweetheart Dance.

Should the SCA sponsor the Magazine Campaign again? This and other decisions were tackled soon after the election of Student Cooperative Association officers last spring. Under the guidance of these capable officeholders, various projects and activities were planned and executed. A Leadership Training Program was held February 26 through March 2 to present essential information for potential leaders and to acquaint them with parliamentary procedure. The SCA was also responsible for the orientation of new class presidents and treasurers and for sugges¬ tions in obtaining funds and student support. Annual projects included the March of Dimes, conducted January 15-22; the Christmas collection of food for the area needy, and the April Road-eo, connected with the National Safety Association. Students received notice of current activities through morning announcements over the public address system, hall and cafeteria bulletin boards, and the SCAnarama. The SCA also sponsored the Home¬ coming Dance, the Magazine Drive, and the judging of Christmas door decorations.

The positions of Secretary of the School Store and Secretary of State were created. Carlton Price, the first to hold the latter post, instituted improved methods for carrying out the foreign exchange program, formally titled Experiment in International Living. In connection with this program, he and ten members of he student government attended the Richmond forum consisting of all foreign exchange students visiting Virginia. The National Association of Student Councils sponsored Carlton’s summer tour of eight western European countries. For an interchange of ideas, council meetings were held every three weeks at Mount Vernon High School and were attended by presidents of Northern Virginia SCA’s. A fourth innovation was the hall signs made by the shops in cooperation with the. student government, not only adding a decorative touch to the school, but also serving to guide new students and visitors.

Well, thar’s another one of ’em daid and ' nother $600 towards de goal.” This was the kind of talk going around school and occupy¬ ing the students’ minds during the ten-day magazine campaign. The annual kickoff assembly initiated the theme with a stream of buckshot between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Leaders of these feudin’ clans were Josh Reckord of the Hat¬ fields, and Bob Dunn of the McCoys. Pride and enthusiasm were rampant as Groveton came closer to its goal than in any former years. The final count showed that $10,237 had been earned toward the desired $12,000. These funds will be used to finance the long- awaited football lights, Project Paradise, the Student Coopera¬ tive Association, administration, and Intramurals. Valuable incentive was added to the campaign by prizes ranging from free ice cream to $30 gift certificates. Students who sold their $8 quota enjoyed the hayride to Great Falls on November 11 as a climax to ten exciting, competitive days. Balancing the books at the end of a successful day, Burton Hurdle, Mike Mogin, and Jane DeBriyn puzzle over financial problems.

On the bright Indian summer afternoon of October 7, 1961, Jo Anne Smith was crowned Homecoming Queen by Mr. Gibbs during the halftime ceremonies of the Madison football game. All eight candidates for Homecoming Queen, who had previously been elected by the junior and senior classes, paraded the field in convertibles driven by junior classmen. While the combined Groveton and Madison bands played All-American Girl, each candidate with her escort was announced as she approached the home stands through a flowered arch held by two of the head majorettes, Carol Martin and Sandy Beville. This fourth annual reunion of students and alumni was marked by high spirits. Although losing 25-6, the Tigers put up a terrific fight, scoring the year ' s first touchdown, and stopping Madison short during the second half. Surprising everyone, third station, decorated as a Rathskeller,” set the ' scene for the dance held that night. The Queen and her court were again presented.

This training enabled the corps to participate in many events. Football fans witnessed seven outstanding half-time performances marked by precision marching and twirling. The corps received a second place trophy, the seventh in three years, in the Senior Division of the annual Americanette Twirlathon. During the Christmas holidays, the 22 majorettes held a tea for representatives from the 14 other high schools in the area. Golden Tigerettes, closely correlated with the band, also performed in the Jubilee. A Latin-American touch was added to this year’s show in their Maricaibo” scene. Initiating an admirable precedent at Groveton this year, the 80-member Symphonic Band, under the direction of Mr. Everette Buskirk, extended a generous hand at the Homecoming game by inviting the Madison band to share in the spotlight of the impressive half-time ceremony. Highlighting the musical season was the Jubilee, Singin’ ’n’ Swingin’,” presented February 14, 15, and 17. The band competed with other schools in the District Music Festival held this year at Groveton, March 17. Additional perform¬ ances including the spring concert ended the year on a successful note. Being essentially a training and non-performing unit, the Concert Band spent their time preparing to join the senior band. At the end of the year it was permitted to play with the Symphonic Band at the Commencement and Baccalaureate ceremonies.

Starring in Jubilee ’62, these 325 Singin’ n’ Swingin” members per¬ formed to packed houses February 14, 15, and 17 with typical Jubilee enthusiasm. Each chorus also per¬ formed at the District Festival held March 31. Symphonic Choir and Charmettes were unusually active this year with an Easter sunrise service at Mount Vernon and engagements at neighborhood Yuletide festivities. Workers at the Senate Office Building were entertained by these groups during the Christmas and Easter seasons. With Spring and warm weather came those final performances that made the year complete. The spring concert, now known as the Mothers’ Day Concert, again brought the choruses before the foot¬ lights. Symphonic Choir added a thoughtful note for graduation at the Baccalaureate and Commence¬ ment exercises. Although the department will lose many fine voices this year, younger members will undoubtedly extend themselves to further triumphs.

Newly Organized Mizpah Club Promotes Good Fellowship May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent from one another. So spoke the Biblical Hebrews in Mizpah” where they parted from one another. Thus was derived the significant name for the Bible Club whose basic intention was the promotion of good fellowship and brotherhood. Mrs. James’ group endeavored to conform to these standards through their meetings which, after their opening devotions, consisted of skits, movies, or discussions of the many religions in order to gain an improved comprehension of each. Mizpah members delivered small favors inscribed with a Bible verse to the Children’s Hospital just prior to Halloween. Enthusiasm was also expressed in voluntary attendance of the Saturday Youth for Christ meetings which extended invitations to all school Biblical societies. At open house for the newly remodeled offices, Barbara Hand serves punch to Mrs. Keesee. The tea was also held to celebrate the faculty birthdays in December.

El Circulo Hispanico benefited from personal insights into Latin American living by student exchanges with Spanish-speaking countries. President Joni Heller and treasurer Russell Osmond were able to relate to the group impressions and experiences of their summertime trip to Mexico and introduce their counterparts, Lourdes Robledo and Jorje Martinez.

Twenty French charter members were chosen from those who had maintained a high B” average or above during four semesters of French and had no lower than a C” average in any other subject. The Chapter was officially incorporated into the national council by the McLean society at ceremonies held on December 7. An additional six were admitted to the society March 24. By speaking French at meetings, members combined pleasure with study. The Gabriela Mistral Chapter of the Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica is dedicated to the purpose of recognizing high achievement in Spanish . . . and promoting continuity of interest in the Hispanic studies.” Activities were of a cultural nature. To become eligible for membership in the society, sponsored by Mrs. Struck, a 3.0 average for two consecutive semesters prior to induction was manda¬ tory for third and fourth year students and a 4.0 average for one semester for second year students.

Key Club Earns Esteem Through Service Projects Basically a service club sponsored by the Kiwanians, the Key Club worked through the school for many worthy causes necessitating the raising of money. Its 26 members were selected from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes on the basis of scholastic achievement and service to the school. Sponsored by Mr. Panagos, the Key Club completed many activities to finance their pet project,” mainte¬ nance of the memorial area. November 27th the Key Club produced two successful ventures, a car wash and a hayride to Prince William Park. Yuletide activities included the successful-sale of Christmas trees at the Co-Op shopping center. For the benefit of the March of Dimes, the organization sponsored a Key Club-Faculty basketball game with an amusing half-time fashion show on January 9, raising $150. Also for the March of Dimes, radio station WKEY operated during Christmas lunch periods, selling record dedications. These good-will projects not only helped ring the cash register, but also brought the Key Club esteem. During the Christmas season.

Students found the needed incentive at the autumn assembly of the National Honor Society when nineteen juniors and five seniors were inducted, bringing the total enrollment to 54. Besides monthly meetings, activities included selling paper back books at the book store and the tutoring service in which students who applied for help in particular subjects were placed with a person willing and able to help. Profits from the latter project went toward financing a scholarship for a deserving senior. Applications were submitted in the spring to the Scholastic Com¬ mittee that judged applicants on the basis of character and scholastic achievement. Honor Society enroll¬ ment increased with the spring induction ceremonies at which additional incentive was provided for students suffering from spring fever.

This was accomplished through accumulation of ten honor points equivalent to one hundred hours of stage work in fields of directing, acting, producing, and make-up. The society, which inducted an addi¬ tional six Thespians in March, could also boast among its number two dedicated Honor Thespians, Bette Bartelmes and Sarah Dickinson, who had earned this position through six hundred hours of work equivalent to sixty honor points. As the new sponsor of the Drama Club, Mr. Myler assisted its participants in two productions.

Oneirata Sparks Literary Enthusiasm Among Students Starting the third year of publication, Oneirata, under the leadership of Editor Barton Bean and sponsor Mrs. Burcher, sought to repeat the success of last year ' s winning of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association award. Meeting fourth period, the staff strived to present a literary magazine expressing the thoughts and writings of the students from items provided by English classes and personal contribu¬ tions. To improve the appearance of the magazine, a new style of printing was initiated and each issue sported distinctive covers designed by Alex Leader- man. Making the magazine easier to handle, the size was decreased one-half of last year’s. Selling and distribution of the Oneirata was conducted during fourth period with a partial payment plan to the students for the three issues.

In this sixth year of publication, 750 students subscribed, 50% more than in the previous year. The experienced staff published nine issues as it sought to produce a good newspaper covering all phases of student activity. In order to gain more experience, representatives were sent to the Southern Interscholastic Press Association in the s pring. They assimilated information concerning news¬ paper reporting, editing, and other techniques. Over the Christmas holidays, a forum of the newspaper staff and re¬ porters assembled to learn additional skills, later visiting the Washington Post Building in the District. Proficient in newspaper techniques, the Tiger Rag staff, under the super¬ vision of Mrs. Woodard, provided a monthly publication for the future reference of its readers.

Someone better return my crop pencil before I become violent!” Exclamations such as this which echoed through the halls adjacent to Room 126 long after the last buses had departed were entirely too familiar to the editors and cubs who compiled the ’61-’62 chronicle of Tiger activities. Editor Joni Heller, invaluably assisted by sponsor Miss Morris, worked hard throughout the year organizing and directing during the chaos preceding the inevitable deadlines. As in previous years, the yearbook staff was arranged departmentally with an editor and several aspiring underclassmen executing the work in the particular field. This year’s workers had to overcome several obstacles, the first of which was the lack of an official Tigerama room. Finally, 126 was given as the workroom, for which the staff was very grateful. The second was the theme for the book. One had been tentatively chosen, but failed to materialize. How¬ ever, during a football game when the Band Master and his band shared the Homecoming honors with Madison, several staff members thought, What a nice thing to do; they are extending themselves.” Thus a theme during a football game!

SPORTS Interscholastic and intramural athletic sys¬ tems expanded in both participation and facilities. This year saw the extension of the interscholastic curriculum to include a rifle team and a broadened co-educational intra¬ mural program. The student body was well represented in all sports, reflecting its enthusiasm with school spirit and team sup¬ port. This school spirit reached its peak during the basketball season when the Varsity won its first county championship. Support of the athletic programs was not limited to students and players. The admin¬ istration, faculty, and parents, as exemplified by the Tiger Boosters Club, contributed a great deal to back teams in both spirit and material ways. Through the efforts of these many people working as a unit, the project of changing lights for the football field from dream to reality was finally accomplished. In addition, the baseball field was greatly improved by the purchase of new bleachers and the construction of dugouts, facilities which all students can enjoy. attention to On Dad ' s Day, proud fathers watch their sons run in to fight for a victory.

School Spirit to AllTime High Victory, victory is our cry!” is the familiar cheer of each of the three cheerleading squads. These pepsters, along with their new sponsors, were responsible for promoting school spirit and supporting the athletic teams. A C” average was required, a major policy decision, to raise the scholastic level of all squads. Varsity cheerleaders and Mrs. Watkins planned pep rallies over the public address system during sixth period for three of the varsity football games to intensify enthusiasm and school support. Before the tournament basketball games, the girls sent telegrams to the team to boost morale. Captain Jo Anne Smith, a familiar face to the teams and fans, set a new cheerleading precedent at Groveton by serving loyally five years as a cheerleader, three of which were on Varsity. J.V. and Freshman squads, under the sponsorship of Miss Andrews and Miss Tarr respectively, also augmented school spirit with their usual refreshing resourcefulness. J.V.’s originated many of their own cheers; the freshmen held pep rallies before each of their games. Both squads displayed creative publicity posters to inform the school of events.

During the second half of the season the team showed continuous improvement, working together as a unit. Osbourn and Falls Church were the team’s only victories. One frustrating factor was the losing of three games in the closing seconds. Through the season, however, statistics showed that the squad outgained and outplayed Hammond, Annandale, Fairfax, and Falls Church. Outstanding during the season were Rick Saunders, offensive end; Skip Mawyer, offensive tackle; Greg Mathews, linebacker; Jimmy Snyder, halfback; Kenny Pettit, fullback; and Billy Taylor, quarterback. Skip Mawyer and Kenny Pettit were selected for the All- Fairfax County Team, and Billy Taylor for the All- Northern Virginia Team. Groveton can look forward to next year’s season with assurance supported by the promise of 22 return¬ ing varsity players. With this added experience, plus the type of school and team spirit evidenced prior to the Mount Vernon clash, Groveton can surely antici¬ pate exciting performances in 1962.

After the usual whirlwind start, the Junior Varsity finished the 1961 season with four victories to its credit and a debit of two defeats. While statistically not as good as Junior Varsity records in recent years, the season was highly successful, considering that sophomores went to Varsity. New head coach for the J.V., Mr. Charles Billak, translated his past experience admirably into the teaching of basic fundamentals, as well as finer points of football to the J.V. squad. Despite the two heartbreaking losses, the determination of Coach Billack’s squad was unmarred as it went on to a 7-0 night-time victory over Mount Vernon. Under the coaching of Mr. Richard Keely and his assistant, Mr. Joseph Haslett, the freshman football team experienced a winning season with an excellent record of four wins and two defeats. The team as a whole displayed fine potential which manifested itself with the help of capable coaching in primary essentials of the game. The combination of enthusiasm, potential, and coaching augurs well for the future of Groveton’s Junior Varsity eleven. To culminate this successful season, the freshman team enjoyed a family picnic at Fort Hunt, followed by a party in the cafeteria.

Under the coaching of Miss Mann, a newcomer to the Physical Education Department, all of the 13 Tigresses played regularly, displaying good sportsmanship and initia¬ tive. The team completed the season with the best hockey record in Groveton’s history. Much of the success can be attributed to attendance at summer hockey camp by 9 members of the squad. Under the direction of Mrs. Profit, the J.V. squad achieved a 2-1-3 record. In comparison with former years, this season has been meritable, especially in view of the fact that the team was composed entirely of inexperienced players. This handicap was offset by hard work and fine team spirit on the part of all team members. VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM — Front row: Patsy Schools and Nancy Packer, co-captains.

This thrill a minute” team, with its 18-2 regular season record, provided entertainment and enjoyment for many a loyal Tiger fan, and will be long remembered. Under the guiding hand of Coach Verne Canfield, the hoopsters enjoyed their fourth and most notable winning season in the school’s six year basketball history. Starting the season, Groveton easily triumphed over Herndon, Stuart, and Yorktown. Encountering their first serious challenge, the boys dropped a tough one to the Washington-Lee power¬ house. Next to be faced was arch-rival Mount Vernon; this spirited bout ended in another win for the ambitious Tigers. The game with Hammond carved a second black mark on the once-blemished record. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was the McLean one which see-sawed back and forth and resulted in a double overtime success for Groveton. George Washington, Mount Vernon, and Lee also met with unhappy endings under the paws of the mighty Tigers. Using substitutes, Coach Canfield made good use of his 14-man team. Two cagers, Bob Dunn and Jim Jones, scored over 200 points each during the regular season; Bob Stephens and Bill McClure netted over 100 each. Despite Madison blocker, Pete Denitto (3) easily sinks jump shot. 102 2nd in District , 5th in State Varsity managers, Scott Sheffield and Burt Weston, record scores while watching Falls Church bout.

Tiger quints participated in the Northern Virginia tournament at Tulloch Memorial, G. W.’s newly erected gym, March 7 and 9. Varsity set a school first by reaching the semi-finals. The game against Wakefield ended in a 48-35 victory due to a 49% shooting average. The Tigers dropped a hard fought bout to Hammond 36-57. Participating for the first time, the Jayvee lost to Wakefield 55-48, winner of the tourney. In the post-season awards, Jim Jones and Bob Dunn received berths on the county All-Star and second All-Northern Virginia teams. They also received the free-throw and most-improved player trophies respectively. Bill McClure won the most valuable player award, and Rusty Shelton the sports¬ manship trophy. Gary Calhoun won the Alverez Memorial Trophy as the outstanding Jayvee player; his teammate, Tony Adams, received the sportsman¬ ship award. A dinner held at Thompson’s Corner on March 19, sponsored by interested teachers, honored the school’s most successful team.

Larry Perreault goes up for an easy one in the Yorktown game. Gene Wyatt (4) followed by teammate Bill Peters (24) heads down court to rack up two more points. 106 Commendable Records Practice and teamwork developed through the coaching of Mr. Panagos, precipitated the team’s capture of thirteen of sixteen encounters, being conquered in one game in Fairfax County and two in the Northern Virginia League, constituting the best record in jayvee history. The most re¬ warding triumphs of the season were observed by Tiger fans when Groveton tripped Yorktown, whipped Washington- Lee, and de-railed arch-rival Mt. Vernon. Outstripping the individual scoring record, Gene Wyatt swished an out¬ standing total of 30 points in one game. Teamwork was the main work ' this year in a freshman basketball player’s vocabulary. After losing the initial game to Mt. Vernon 27-26, the Tiger cubs boasted a seven game winning streak, broken only by a 43-41 loss to Stuart. With the help of Coach Keely they gained co-ordination and experience in basic techniques.

Vernon to a thoroughly decisive and victorious campaign. The polished per¬ formance and successful record of this year’s squad was a tangible credit to the coaching abilities of Mrs. Ingham and the individual abilities of the players. The well coordinated, fast- paced team established a new school rceord of sixty-five points in a single game. Awarded the sportsmanship award was Judy Nevitt. Receiving the outstanding forward was Patsy Schools, and the outstanding guard, Carol Ernst. With half of the starting lineup composed of underclassmen, future cagettes can look forward to victorious seasons. Constituted almost entirely of Freshmen, the girl’s J.V. basketball team, duplicating the record of previous years, showed much team co-ordination. They displayed their potential in every phase of the game, and gained valuable experience under the coaching of Miss Mann. Suzie Cox battles Stuart Rebel for that all-important tie ball.

Bob Jacobs displays the style which led him to his many victories and the State Tournament as he successfully pins his Falls Church opponent. If I only had another hand,” thinks Mark Barbero as he applies his other two to this Falls Church foe. no Wrestling Season With a team of 16 enthusiastic boys intent on pinning their opponent, the mat season got under¬ way. Young and steadily improving grapplers were taught the basic points of the sport by Coach Billak. Two films aided in instruction by illustrating the proper methods for the takedown, rides, escapes, reverses, and other essentials. In order to better techniques, the team attended a match at Annapolis, Maryland, to watch the Navy wrestlers in action. Although the team finished with a 3-6 record, it may hope for a more successful seasoh next year as it will loose only Bob Jacobs through graduation and expects the return of 15 much improved matmen. Twelve boys entered the Northern Virginia Tourna¬ ment held at Wakefield High School February 16 and 17. Gary Misenheimer won his matches at the meet, securing a first place medal. Bob Jacobs won second place in the 154 pound division, and Mac Page was fourth. Two Groveton grapplers attended the State competition in Norfolk February 23 and 24. Bob Jacobs won two points by defeating two opponents and reaching the quarter-finals down- state. During the District Tournament, Gary Rutledge sizes up his Mt. Vernon opponent prior to the takedown.

Members be¬ came profiicient in all four firing positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, and offhand.

Groveton met this need by instituting one of the most versatile intramural programs in the area. Held Monday and Wednesday for the girls and Tuesday and Thursday for the boys, this program offered such year-round sports as basketball, ping- pong, softball, and volleyball for both boys and girls; tennis, softball and badminton for the girls, and touch football for the boys. Under the direction of Mr. Haslett and Mrs. Ingham the intramural program became the most extensive in the school’s six years. Intramural volleyball team members vie for points during a game. Sandy Beville congratulates Millie Neitzy on winning her match. Intramural basketball girls enjoy vying for points during a game. 119 MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION TO CLASSES Ever growing and changing, the classes constitute an integral part of the school. It is through the growth of classes as a whole that Groveton progresses. But from among the many emerges the individual. By the expansion and broadening of in¬ dividual talents and interests, goals are realized and ambition is satisfied. Although total enrollment decreased to 1473, this year’s senior and freshman classes were the largest in Groveton’s six-year history. Realizing quantity is not the most important goal, students sought, both singu¬ larly and collectively, the best for their classes and their school. Friendly competition among classes in various activities frequently gave way to inter-class cooperation. This spirit first brought unity among separate classes and ultimately spread throughout the school. Next year, when underclassmen attend newly built high schools, unity will not be broken by distance, but extended through spirit. ATTENTION TO ( Reaching the final goal of all classes, students stand quietly in their places at the gradua¬ tion ceremony as the final strains of Pomp and Circumstance are heard. As the Big Day draws near, Mr. Dew and Mrs. Collier, senior class sponsors, measure Barry Kowalski for his cap and gown.

Five years ago this appeared to us as a rather remote concept to be written in capital letters. ' We have come to realize that this is not the culmination of our efforts, but in essence, a beginning. Our first days in September, 1957, are amazingly easy to reca ll — confusion reigned. But we achieved recognition as a class by having the school s first undefeated team remember that wonderful baseball season? As sophomores we originated the tradition of giving the first Sock Hop of the year, first the Atom Smash, then the Major Mash, and finally, the Major Maul. We continued to extend ourselves and our school by sponsoring the first out-of-school prom that memorable June 10 at Arlington Towers. Will we ever forget the enormous debt we incurred — over $300 — and the issuance of Senior Class cards that not only helped abolish the red ledger, but also served as a reminder of our privileged” status? To bring us closer to the class preceeding us, we attended the first Junior-Senior Party, and marshalled at the commencement and baccalaureate services. Finally it arrived, the Big Year! We were SENIORS! We were the leaders, involved in nearly every phase of school life. Scholastic Achievement Tests were faced with trepidation by college-bound students, and for non-academic students, the Civil Service exam was met with equal apprehension. Senior Week, held in September, allowed a week of leisure and fun. These five days, which included a talent show, two movies, and a class meeting, gave us a brief, enjoyable respite from books — the last one until June. Winter passed as we followed our outstanding basketball team to the Northern Virginia Championships. After the excruciating finals in June, the traditional commencement and baccalaureate ceremonies and the awards assembly arrived, culminating five years of fun and hard work. Now the hour has arrived, the former Seniors are now Freshmen again in the business and college world. Have we learned from our experiences? Will our efforts lead to worth¬ while and productive goals? Only time will tell. 124 MICHAEL WOOD ADAMS Mike Key Club, 2, V. Pres., 3, Pres. 4; National Honor Society, 3,4; J.V. Football, 1,2; V.

With one main goal, the presentation of a success¬ ful Prom, the Junior Class conducted several activities to raise money and encourage support. Most profitable was the newly inaugurated selling of class cards for $1.50. A bake sale on January 19 was followed in March by a Junior-Senior party. Many members served both the class and the March of Dimes by selling peanuts at local shopping centers. For Juniors, this was a year marked with firsts. The Auditorium will be remembered well by this year’s class as the site of team teaching, a relatively new idea in Fairfax County, which was practiced on a large scale for Junior English and History. Provid¬ ing much needed assistance, a Directory of six fellow classmen was appointed by the officer . The class was also the first in the school’s history to get class rings as early as April 1! Looking forward to next year, the Juniors already have two important assets — unity and earnestness. These characteristics are considerably advantageous to any future senior class.

It is through achievements both academic and extra¬ curricular that it is acknowledged. Towards that goal, this year’s tenth graders participated in several class activities. A small amount of much needed money was earned from bake sales held in October, December, and January. Last to be Grovetonites for five years, this class utilized the opportunity of being permitted to participate in varsity and junior varsity sports. Their importance could not be understated; neither could their value in other fields. Having been introduced to the many features of school life, this third year was to see many Sophomores select their particular sphere and exert considerable influence within it. It was also the year to make the monumental decision: to pursue the academic or vocational diploma. Preparing to accept the responsibilities of becoming an upperclassman, each individual selected the classes and activities which would best benefit him in achieving his goal.

Freshmen Accept Newly Presented Responsibility Through an Eighth Grade Night last Spring, and an orientation assembly October 27, the Freshman Class became acquainted with Groveton’s many facets. The Class of ’65, realizing the responsibility assumed upon entering one of the most consequential ventures of their lives, made its significance felt by establishing itself in school life. Abounding in school spirit, the class sponsored a number of activities, including two bake sales before the Madison and Stuart football games, and an assembly-pep rally also before the Madison game. The 530 Freshman contributed their newly acquired Groveton spirit towards the success of the Magazine Drive and the March of Dimes Campaign. With characteristic optimism, a talent show in March and a semi- formal dance were also undertaken. At an exclusively Freshman assembly, football and basket¬ ball awards were presented.

MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION TO ADVERTISEMENTS Looking beyond the sphere of school life, a small committee of Tiger am a workers took a step in expanding into the surrounding communities by selling advertising space in the ’62 Tigerama. Serving as a representative body from the school, those students who appeared in the ad pictures had the opportunity to work with area businessmen, thus gaining insight into the mechanics of the advertising world. As Tigerama promotes the support of these businessess by making the ad section both interesting and informative to the students, the concerns, in turn, support the school by providing financial backing through advertising. Through this mutual cooperation, the school world expanded into and combined with the business world in an effort profitable to all. Completion of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge spanning the Potomac River between Alexandria, Virginia, and Eastover, Mary¬ land, opened new territories to which Grove- ton may extend itself. ATTENTION TO - Tigerama staff and cubs listen intently as Pat deYoung speaks about yearbook tech¬ niques at the fall banquet.

In accord¬ ance with the conventions established by six years of tradition, a guest speaker was invited to address the new staff and cubs, motivating them to meet the challenge of the demanding task of producing an accurate and attractive yearbook. Pat deYoung, assistant editor of Tiger ama ’60, fulfilled this description and in¬ spired the members with a pep talk which re¬ counted her past experiences with the yearbook. This occasion also provided an opportunity to introduce plans for Advertisement and Circula¬ tion Drives. With a goal of $1,600, a committee of 14 was established to solicit ads in anticipation of a highly successful year for Tigerama ’62.

Many of the projects for which this class has worked were completed in the final spring days before graduation. In sports, two goals were achieved: the construction of dugouts for the baseball field, and the erection of football lights, the latter setting the stage for the Commencement of the Class of ’62. Project Paradise,’’ the product of much effort, progressed significantly during May with the addition of trees, shrubs, and walks. Under the direction of Mr. Myler, Seniors presented Dear Ruth” as the traditional class play on May 5, 8, and 10. This romantic comedy not only abolished the Prom Debt, but also provided funds for the senior gift to the school in the form of books for the library. These many last hour” accomplishments were achieved largely through the efforts of this year’s Seniors, but it has been left to future Grovetonites to appreciate and utilize the products of past endeavors. Carl White, Billy Taylor, and Ken Pettit, seniors on this year’s County Championship Varsity Baseball team, take time out from infield practice to work on the long-awaited dugouts. Surveying the new trees, shrubs, and walks of Project Paradise,” several seniors lend a helping hand with the landscaping. 202 and Present “Dear Ruth” DEAR RUTH Presented by Senior Class May 5, 8, 10, 1962 Directed by Mr. Harold Myler Cast of Characters Dora __-...
