Lebanon High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Lebanon, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1977 volume:

THE WAY WE WERE Memories light the corners of my mind. Misty waters color memories of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, smiles we gave to one another for the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then, or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me would we? Could we? Memories may be beautiful, and yet, what’s too painful to remember we simply choose to forget. Sit’s the laughter we will remember, whenever we remember the way we were. 1977 PIONEER VOLUME XXXIII LEBANON HIGH SCHOOL LEBANON, VIRGINIA EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Jane Castle ASSISTANT EDITORS Ricky Smith Judy Easterly BUSINESS MANAGERS Kathy Dye Kathy Smith SPONSORS Nell Howard Doris Bundy Alan and Marilyn Bergman 1977 “PIONEER” STAFF “PIONEER” STAFF: FIRST ROW: D.

At LHS, everyone always enjoys taking a look back to the days of ponytails and bobby socks. The day began with everyone dress- ing as they would have in the 50’s. Red lipstick and slicked-down hair were a “must” for the girls and guys on 50’s Day! « 60 In the afternoon, the SCA held a sock-hop. We danced the “bunny-hop” and the “twist.” We all had a great time. Prizes were awarded to the stu- dents who were judged as best dressed. 50’s Day was truly a day to remember! 61 “PATHFINDER” STAFF— FIRST ROW: J. Heckford, J. McComas, S. Skeen, K. Fields.

Yet, in this brief time, he has become so much a part of the “true essence” of Lebanon High School that it takes several major catastrophies to dampen his spirits. Mr. Omer Elkins, Principal Within the gargantuan-like frame of our assistant principal dwells a poetic spirit so full at times it is forced to take flight on the wings of mystic words that belie the image we form while occupy- ing the “Hot Seat”, or dodging his barrage of reprimands as he assigns us more days in the “Hall.” 113 Mr. Harold Hibbits, Assistant Principal Mrs. Hester Adams, MA Science, English Mrs. Nancy Baker Library Clerk Mr. Kim Bolling, B.S.

Louella Vicars Mrs. Louella Mercer Vicars, a graduate of Radford College, began her teaching career thirty-eight years ago. For the past twenty-four years, she has instructed students in the classroom at Lebanon High School, counseled with them in their problems, advised them in making plans for further education, and guided them in choice of vocation. She was assistant principal from 1954 to 1957 and served in the Guidance Department sixteen years. Over and above routine duties of in- struction, recordkeeping, and guidance, however, Mrs. Vicars has been an example of one whose quality of life has had an extra dimension characterized by personal dignity, spiritual strength, integrity, unselfish devotion, and genuine concern. In the classroom, Mrs. Vicars has maintained high standards of instruction and discipline. She has adhered strictly to her subject of English “as it should be spoken” and has expected from her students conduct becoming young ladies and young gentlemen. In the community, Mrs. Vicars is a highly respected citizen. She is a loyal and faithful member of Lebanon Memorial United Methodist Church and of the Order of the Eastern Star and is a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society. She is a good neighbor, really caring about people and helping them in times of perplexing problems, illness, or bereavement. One might think that a person of Mrs. Vicars’ ability and accomplishments might tend to become proud; Mrs. Vicars’ only reply to such admiration is, however, “I feel that whatever I have been able to do has been God working through me.” As Mrs. Vicars looks toward retirement at the close of the 1976-77 school year, the student body of Lebanon High School extends appreciation and sincere wishes for many happy years of carefree, relaxed enjoyment to one who deserves only the best. 129 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: James Snead, president; Dennis Vance, vice-president; Teresa Tiller, secretary; Gary Coleman, treasurer.

It is my hope that we have captured a few of the memories of your year at LHS in the 1977 “PIONEER . It is you, the students, who have made this edition of the yearbook possible. I would like to thank my entire staff, my business managers, Miss Howard and Mrs. Bundy for your help and guidance. Ricky, Judy, and Mike, I couldn ' t have made it without you, especially when I became dis- couraged and needed a word of encouragement. To my friends at LHS, I sincerely hope we will always remember “The Way We Were”. To each and every student, I wish you the best of luck in the years ahead. I hope your days at LHS will be happy ones. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF 1977 PIONEER “The job’s not over ’till the paper work is done.” 188 A UTOGRAPHS A UTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS A UTOGRAPHS I-ICVi ' iV-T- rtf, fit
