We, the annual staff of Haysi High, wish to express our appreciation to two teachers who, in their most sincere way, have given us many joyful memories that will always be dear to us. For all you have done for us and for being the outstanding people you are, we dedicate our 1973 THUN¬ DERBOLT to you. DEDICATED TO MISS LANA PUCKETT MR. BUTCH KISER 6 Miss Lana Puckett is doing her first year of teaching at Haysi High. She is most talented, and gives of those talents to make her commu¬ nity and school better. She plays piano for her church, sings in the choir, and enjoys camping, swimming, music, and handicrafts. She has won our respect and appreciation through her kind¬ ness, patience, and dedication to us, her stu¬ dents. We are so happy she decided to teach here and feel she is a definite asset to our school. Mr. Butch Kiser, a 1966 graduate of St. Paul High School, has been here at Haysi for three years. He coaches our Varsity Football and J. V. Basketball, Camping, trout fishing, and rab¬ bit hunting are some of his favorite hobbies. Although he is a sports enthusiast, football is his num ber one interest. Mr. Kiser and his wife, Judy, have one daughter, Christy. We realize the continuing effort he exerts as coach. In our estimation he has made an outstanding contrib¬ ution to our school.

PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE ERDMAN MULLINS Mr. Mullins attended V.P.I. where he received his B.S. and M.S. in Agricultural Education and Vocational Education. The end of the school year is in sight, and graduation is the next big event on the school calendar. For many of you the longest experience you have all shared, twelve years of educa¬ tion, will be coming to an end. This is a wonderful time for all of us to take a look toward tomorrow and to review the lessons of yesterday. Let us step back for a moment and ponder what the whole of your life might be. Today, as our Nation has been from the beginning, is a time of youth, of freshness and of opportunity. Do not forget that the Declaration of Independence was authored and signed by seventeen men who were still in their thirties; and three were in their twenties. No, you are not too young to begin making footprints in the sands of time. You in school today have the opportunity to be the best educated generation this Nation has ever produced. Your Accomplishments and the America which you create can be even greater than your dreams if you display the wisdom and spirit at your command. I have great confidence about the future for I am confident about you. Tomorrow, and I hope for a thousand tomorrows to come, I will watch your progress and take delight in the knowledge that I had some part in guiding you into the path that leads to happiness, self discovery, and success. You have much work remaining ahead of you. Success and happiness are not God-given rewards to be reaped by laggards and others weak of will and determination. They are attain¬ ments which you, in our great society, have the right to pursue. May I take this opportunity to wish you success in your pursuit and may the harvest you reap be worth the effort. 8
