Marion High School - Hurricane Yearbook (Marion, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1961 volume:

alma mater Oh, never may a shadow fall upon thy cherished name, Oh, never may thy sons and daughters brin g thee reproach and shame, Before us as a flaming beacon that guides the wanderer to shore. Thou Marion dost lead us onward, our guide for evermore. Oh, Marion, the coming years will never dull our love for thee, The hours we spent within thy walls will live again in memory, The noise and tumult of the world, the bitter storm and strife. Will lead our thoughts to high school days, the sweetest time of life. 1961 H U«? . marion high school marion, Virginia foreword Your Hurricane staff of 1961 has tried to make this yearbook a pictures¬ que record of your year at Marion High School. In later years as you turn these pages you will remember the experiences you had here. The pictures and pages of this book added together mirror a year of your life time and record for you events and people that have done much to make you what you are. We have chosen as our theme—Bursting at our Seams. We chose this because over a period of years the increasing enrollment has made it impossible to adequately accommodate the students properly. Throughout the annual you will find our goat—the school’s mascot—- showing the crowded conditions at Marion High School. Without the help given us by the business of our community in pur¬ chasing of advertisements, it would be impossible to publish a yearbook. We are indebted to all the students and the people of our community who have encouraged us by kind and helpful words.

It is to a man who started us in the first grade, moved with us to the new Elementary School, was promoted with us when we became eighth graders, that we pay r tribute. He has given of his time and energy to develop in us ideals of achievement, responsible citizenship, and Christian character. Whether it is literary or athletic, senior or eighth grade, he is on hand for each activity, always striving to aid and encourage us. It is with admiration and sincere thanks that the Hurricane Staff of 1961 honors our principal, Mr. Howard W.

These conventions helped the administration keep up with current happenings in educa¬ tion on nationwide, statewide and local levels. (21 The administration has made many appear¬ ances Indore civic clubs, P.T.A. groups, church groups, Chamber of Commerce groups, and other groups telling about various school activities. (31 The accelerated program for a group of eighth grade students has been continued. There are three groups of accelerated students. Twentv- four tenth grade students are enrolled in two eleventh grade subjects, twenty-seven ninth grade students are enrolled in two tenth grade subjects, and thirty eighth grade students are enrolled in ninth grade algebra and ninth grade general science. |4) A special effort was made to help all students work out an individualized study program for the year. This was done during home¬ room periods and in some regular class periods. (5) A complete study of failures in the school during first semester was made by parents, students, and teachers. The standard of work through¬ out the school was raised as a result of this study.

Mr. Pafford, Ph} r sics Physics is both mathematics and science. The solution of mathematical problems involving physical principles make up a large portion of the course. Development of the scientific method through demonstrations and experiments is a very important objective and contributes to making physics a course for students who are talented and not afraid to work hard. Physics satisfies the students curiosity and has prac¬ tical value for everyone. Topics studied include gravitational force, force and motion, machines and work, heat, power and energy, electricity and magnet¬ ism, sound, light and radiations, and electronics and nucleonics. M iss Martin, Denton Connany, Kirk Spitzer, Stephen Vinson, and Paul Hicks. Biology Within the school year we explore the findings of biologists that have been made over a period of nearly two centuries. This includes the study of life—plant life, animal life, and the life of human beings. This study leads into complex so¬ cieties, where plants and animals live in vital rela¬ tions with each other. We start with our microscope and investigate the miniature worlds where animals smaller than a pinhead feed on still smaller forms of life. We use a workbook with laboratory investiga¬ tions. Mrs. Waters’ Biology class is studying the chart. Chemistry Chemistry is the science dealing with the study of the composition of materials and the changes which these materials undergo. In Chemistry we learned the elements — their structures, their chemical and physical properties, and their use. We studied the composition and changes of matter, theories, structures of atoms, and chemical calcula¬ tions. In relation to our studying the fundamentals of Chemistry, we conduct experiments which give us a realistic view and show us the importance of Chemistry in our everyday life. 64 Mr. McDonald’s fifth period government class study to become active citizens of today and tomorrow. Government During the year the students have learned about the Federal, State, and Local govern¬ ments. We have, also, kept up with local, state, and foreign affairs. The students have shown much inter¬ est in the related projects and problems. They prac¬ tice democracy as they study it. Sandra Wheeler, Warren Pennick, Veralene Barker, Denton Cormany, Brenda Campbell, Scott Trent, and Mr. Harkins. History We study history to learn of men’s past experience and its relation to our present and the implications it has on our future. We strive to teach the appreciation of “Old Glory” as a symbol of democracy and freedom. The study of irginia and U. S. Hi story gives us a consciousness of the role our own section of the country lias played in the history of our nation and presents to us a real challenge to he a more intelligent citizen. Mary Ann Blevins, Doris Beverly, Walter Waddell, Jerry Walls, Barbara Bolling, Linda Anderson, Mrs. Holmes, and Ronnie Johnson. JT or Id History World History broadens our out¬ look and widens our scope of humanity. The more that is known of the past, the fewer mistakes will he made in the present; therefore, a better future will result—this is the purpose of the study of World Hi story. It gives us a cultural background and ap¬ preciation for music, art, architecture, drama, reli¬ gions, and political life. we became mathematicians and english scholars Mr. Earp instructs in the fundamentals. Mrs. Overhay explains the chart as the students listen. Algcbl ' d This mathematical structure lias heen established and improved for over three hundred years. The students at Marion High School who are taking Algebra I will become tlie mathematicians of tomorrow. They will he the ones to improve the language. In an Algebra 1 class, the students learn the basic fundamentals needed in all mathematics above the level of arithmetic. Bookkeeping Bookkeeping teaches the basic principles related to keeping records in an organized and systematic manner. It gives students a founda¬ tion on which to build a career in the field of ac¬ counting, or it provides information necessary for keeping a simple set of books if they choose to work in an office immediately following graduation. Students are taught how to write checks, reconcile bank statements and make deposits, open checking accounts, and keep an accurate account of personal records which makes it a practical and useful course. David Sprinkle, Nita Pafford, Phyllis Powers, Ann Freeman, Nancy Sexton, and Mr. Corron. Alatll Eighth grade math is actually a review of the seventh grade math. It covers fractions, decimals, ratios, and per cent. The material is a little more de¬ tailed than in the seventh grade math, and geometry and algebra are introduced to the students. 66 Brian Cox, Carol Scott, Donald Wechslcr, Roger Copenhaver, and Alvin Wassum. Senior English The senior English course, taught hy Mrs. Schulz is a correlated combination of English literature, composition, and grammar which is con¬ tinuous throughout both semesters of the school year. Research papers and hook reports on selected classics from English literature serve to augment this outline of study. Michael Moore, Mary Ella Ross, Matilda Copenhaver, Linda Snider, and Mr. Hankla. Junior English Through both semesters, the junior English course is a combination of grammar, composition, spelling and vocabulary building, and literature of the United States. Eight hook reports, a vocational research paper, and numerous themes serve to make junior English more enjoyable. Sandra Smith, Sharon Dority, Mrs. Echols, Elizabeth Buchanan, Walda DuPriest, Zetta Payne. Sophomore English III sophomore English the students study EXPLORING LIFE THROUGH LITERATURE, and report on at least six selected hooks. Their grammar consists of the fundamentals of proper identification of the parts of speech and grammatical composition. Much time is given to writing short themes. They have written biographies, and one term paper. 67 lie became artists and studied vocations Speech find Dramatics Speech and dramatics training is directed toward personal improvement. The scope of this course is broad and includes such phases as speeches of all varieties—monologues, skits, debates, round table discussions, pantomimes, and plays. The main emphasis directed toward learning how to think and speak easily before an audience. The plays we have dramatized are “The Tarnished Witherspoons” and “It’s Cold in Them Thar’ Hills.” Mr. Knapp and his choral group pose for the ’’birdie”. Choral In music classes students learn about music history and how to appreciate good music of the past and present. They learn to perform together and individually for other schools. One member of the choral class will he awarded the “Arion Award” for the outstanding musician in vocal music. Music is both learning and entertaining for the performers and for the audience. Art The students in first year art class learn the basic techniques of drawing and painting. They are instructed in the use of the different mediums — pencil, crayon, charcoal, pastels, tempra, water color, and oils. Art appreciation is also included in their study. The work done in Art 1 gives a foundation for the students planning to take Art II and also a working knowledge ol art for those students who plan to take only one year of art. Mrs. Boyd, Violet Smith. Carolyn Haga, Judy Clark, and Paige Berry. Mrs. Linkous instructs her first year art class. 68 Future Farmers of America Future Farmers of America is composed of boys studying vocational agriculture in liigli school. I lie aim of the F.F.A. is development of agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship.One of the specific purposes is to de¬ velop character, and train for useful citizenship. It trains the hoys in agriculture to become better farmers. David Pickle, Roger Dutton, Hubert Hopkins. Mr. Griffin. Ray Stowers, Jimmy Sturgill, Robert Funk, Kenneth Sled. Agriculture The Agriculture Department provides students with training and experience in agricultural leadership, cooperation, recreation, citizenship, shop instructions, community service, supervised fanning, new improvements, and methods of agriculture. Mr. Robin son instructs the boys who are in the Future Farmers of America. Philip Blevins, James Griffitts, and Alvin Wassum. Industrial Arts Industrial arts is a part of general education dealing with the tools, materials, and proc¬ esses of industiy. In the shop classes the students have on opportunity to work, with both wood and metal using both hand and power tools. The student may design and must plan and draw his project and figure cost before he begins work on it. 69 all these classes add spice to our activities Typing Typing I not only teaches the student the basic techniques and skills necessary for personal typing, hut also prepares him for advanced business courses and future office work. Competitive drills as well as problem work are used to “spur” the student to a minimum of 30 words per minute; some reach as many as 60 words per minute. In typing II the minimum speed requirement is 50 words per minute. Upon the completion of this course, the student is capable of performing any typing duties that he might encounter in today’s modern office. Miss Neff and her Latin students are displaying their posters. M rs. Daugherty watches as her students type. Latin In first year Latin the students translate stories about the gods and goddesses of ancient Rome. They learn the basic fundamentals of Latin which will enable them to go into the second year of Latin. The ' Latin Club is affiliated with the Na¬ tional and State Junior Classical Leagues and sent a delegate to the state meeting at Roanoke, Virginia. Each year the club holds a Latin banquet to celebrate the date of the founding of Rome. 70 1 I Science The general science course is designed to give the students a basic knowledge in the various scientific fields. It helps to develop an understanding of scientific principles and scientific attitudes, and to train hoys and girls to use them in everyday 1 i 1 e. The course also provides a knowledge of basic in¬ formation necessary for continuing studies in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Home economics There are ten classes daily in Home Economies including two exploratory classes for eighth graders. Units of work include not only food preparation but work in all areas of homemak¬ ing such as contributing to happy family life, caring for and guiding the growth ol children, caring for the sick, planning and improving family housing and home furnishings, and developing family recreation. The girls assist with planning and serving refresh¬ ments for dances, college career night, and other school activities. Mrs. Potter’s eighth grade science class is enjoying their experiment.

Jr ' rr aPT« . jm r ofl®. _ j rjnmr The Scarlet Hurricane began the 1960 season with a highly rated team boasting nineteen seniors. The fondest expecta¬ tions were fulfilled as the Hurricanes outscored their opponents 180-80, compiled an 8-1-1 record, and nailed down second place in the Southwest District. The lone defeat came at the hands of the fired-up Virginia High Bearcats, who broke a 13-13 deadlock with only thirty-nine seconds showing on the clock. The curtain came down on the 1960 version of the Hurricane as they dealt arch-rival R. B. Worthy of Saltville a 19-13 setback. The winning touchdown came on the last play of the game, which many insist was the best ever played in this area. Marion 13 • Graham 13 Marion opened its season at home on September 2 in a 13-13 tie with the Graham G-Men. After Graham had drawn first blood, Ronald and Edward Bales pulled the Hurricane out of the creek with a pair of scoring aerials. Raymond Odham’s placement made the score 13-7 going into the final period. Graham scored on a long drive and made the all- important extra point on the second try, after a penalty had given them another chance. Although held to a tie, Marion led in total yardage, 228-171.

With Coach Earp molding our boys into a fighting football team and Betty Pugh with the other cheerleaders building school spirit, as well as team spirit, we were destined to come out on top with a fine team. Our first game with Graham proved this when we tied with the G-Men. Although this was no disgrace, our boys worked even harder from then on. The seniors and juniors from all over the county attended College Career Night on Septem¬ ber 28. Our questions about colleges and our work were very aptly answered by representatives from colleges, nursing schools, business schools, industries, and branches of the armed forces. Each left with a better view of the years ahead. Why were all the seniors going around on October 3 with their hands stuck out? The long awaited day had arrived! The class rings were here. On October 13, our Homecoming got off to a good start with the Variety Show, “Kick-Off Kapers.” An invigorating, spirit raising pep rally was held afterwards on the athletic field. A parade took place before the game on Friday night. Many fans turned out to see MHS trample the Golden Wave of Grundy, and that is just what we did. The score was 13-7, a victory which meant so much to us all. Betty Pugh, our lovely Homecoming Queen, reigned over the dance on Saturday night, October 15. Her court was composed of Annette McDonald, Judy McClellan, Linda Snider, and Mary Ellen Killinger. This brought the grand week-end to a close. On November 4 we wound up our football season when we defeated Saltville 19-13. Our final record was 8 wins, 1 tie, and 1 loss, an exceptionally fine showing by our boys. Marion took second place in the district. Congratulations, boys! In keeping with the national election, the students of MHS held a mock election on Tuesday, November 8, which climaxed a week of campaigning. The basketball season started rolling December 2 when the boys defeated Chilliowie 58-42 in a hard fought game. The girls won with a score of 49-25. The teams, coached by Miss Violet Testerman and Mr. Charles Harkins, had a final record of 10-10 for the boys and 16-1 for the girls. Annette McDonald and Charles Bailey reigned over the band dance held on December 3. The dance marked the close of another successful season of marching for the Hurricane Rebel Band. The Junior Class presented “The Professor Proposes,” a hilarious comedy, on December 11, starring Linda Pruner and Mary Ellen Killinger as the leaders of an excellent cast directed by Mrs. Elinor King and Mrs. Hilda Boyd. December 17, our gala annual Christmas Dance took place with a gay yuletide atmosphere shared by all. Robert Graybeal and Betty Pugh reigned over the dance. On December 16, the band, under the direction of Mr. Carl Azzara, and on December 20, the chorus, under Mr. Bruce Knapp, presented programs making our festive spirit grow. When, at 2:30 on the 20th, school was turned out for the holidays, everyone let out a whoop, or felt like it anyway. This day had been long anticipated, for we all were looking forward to a very merry Christmas. But the holidays were much too short as January 3 found everyone back at school, already dreading the examinations. There was no avoiding them and we took the “terrible things” on January 18, 19, and 20. How glad we were that they were over and that we had not studied in vain! The annual Valentine Dance, “Sweethearts Ball,” was held February 11 by the FHA and FFA with Carol Wassum and David Dishner reigning. The eagerly awaited basketball game between the seniors and the faculty finally rolled around on February 27. It was enjoyed by all, especially the teachers, who won both games. “The Eager Miss Beaver,” the Senior Class Play, was given April 13 and 14. On May 3, after many months of hard work trying to raise money by selling Christmas cards, candy, and by various other projects, the seniors made their memorable trip to Washington. During the last few months of this wonderful year, our time was filled with such events as the Easter vacation, forensic meets, baseball games, track meets, band concerts, the Junior-Senior Prom, and other spring activities. But all this time the seniors were happily looking forward to graduation day which arrived on May 29 as their most important day of twelve whole years.

Each new generation must stand on its own feet and preserve these freedoms. The freedoms we enjoy through the American Way have a high price and must be earned over and over. W. Somerset Maughan expresses it this way: “If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.” Cream GRADE Cottage Cheese Buttermilk Chocolate Milk PASTEURIZED MILK PRODUCTS From Guernsey Cows Dial ST 3-2397 LAUREL SPRINGS DAIRY 155 finale The annual staff of 1961 held their first meeting in August of I960. Last year’s assistants, for the first time, realized how much effort and planning is required in producing a successful annual. The biggest job facing us was the selection of a cover and a theme. Both of these require much debating and contro¬ versy because we want only the best for our school. We have worked hard for a good eight months, and we feel that our work has accomplished much. The staff feels that they have given the students and teachers an annual which will serve as a past record of the most enjoyable years of their lives. The staff deserves a lot of credit for the wonderful job we have done, hut we feel that the greatest rewards will come when we read our complete hook from cover to cover. To our sponsors — Mrs. Neal Echols, Mrs. Gordon Linkous, and Mr. Fred McDonald, we owe much gratitude and appreciation for their help, guidance, and patience. We would also like to extend our thanks to the atson Lithographing Company for their work in publishing the 1961 HURRICANE. DESIGNED AND LITHOGRAPHED BY WATSON LITHOGRAPHING COMPANY. KINGSPORT.
