KELLY HIGH SCHOOL WISE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY WISE, VIRGINIA Foreword As Wise County celebrates its 100th birthday this year, we, the Seniors of J. J. Kelly High School, pre- sent to you this 1956 Arrowhead celebrating its 18th birthday. In the pages of this book we attempt to relate the progress our school has made in the field of educa- tion over a period of approximately 50 years. Dedication MRS. FRANCES GILLEY We, the Arrowhead Staff dedicate I the 1956 Arrowhead to Mrs. Frances Gilley who not only has dedicated her efforts and time to the development of better student leaders but whose guidance and understanding we shall never forget . MR. STERLING GILLIAM We also dedicate the 1956 Arrow - head to Mr. Sterling Gilliam whose efforts have made our Senior year a more interesting and enjoyable one and whose friendship and service are deeply appreciated . Our teaching staff has grown from two elementary teachers and two high school teachers in the year 1899 to thirty in 1956 with an assistant principal and a full- time secretary. Since 1904, when our school was Gladeville College with C. Y. Chapman as President, there have been 13 presidents and principals. Mr. L. F. Addington became principal in 1930. Principal 1956 MR. L. F. ADDINGTON Mr. Addington was born in Scott County. After completing high school at Midway and Gate City, he went to Emory and Henry College and did graduate work at University of Virginia. After college, Mr. Addington taught his first school at Clinchport, Virginia; his second at Lakeworth, Florida, and then came to Wise County in 1924, where he was principal at Pound school. Here he taught the third grade with only two pupils. On March 1, 1930 he came to Wise as Principal. Mr. Addington has taught summer schools at Radford College and Emory and Henry College. In addition to his school activities, his short stories have been published in Esquire, American Prefaces, Pageant, Jack Jill, and many juvenile and church magazines. This year he wrote The Story ot Wise County and became Executive Director of the Wise County Centennial. ™ ' — - — MISS VERTA HAMILTON English MR. VERLIN GILLIAM Assistant Principal Faculty MRS.

In this session of 1955-56, 40 courses are offered from which a pupil may choose either of three courses of study -- College, for those who plan to enter college upon graduation from high school; Business, for those who take Vocational Office Training or Distributive Education and plan to go directly into the business field upon graduation from high school; General, for those who wish to receive their diploma with no special- ized training.

The Arrowhead, our yearbook, was first published in 1938. The first edition of the school paper came out in 1926, At that time it was called the Wise Owl and in 1936 it was changed to the Arrow. In 1930 our first band was organized with 20 members and today we have a marching band of 66 members. Commercial work was introduced into the school curriculum in 1935. The Student Council which stresses student participation in government is composed of four main officers and one member from each home room. It was organized approxi- mately in 1938 with Mr. Eugene Willis as sponsor and Lawrence Gilliam as president. ACTIVITIES Photo by L. F.
