Marion High School - Hurricane Yearbook (Marion, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1963 volume:

MARION HIGH SCHOOL MARION, VIRGINIA Foreword WE SEE OURSELNES AS OTHERS SEE US — The Hurricane Staff of 1963 proudly presents this, our theme, as we capture our image through the telescope of our distinguished visiting professor Gaylord, the evaluator. You may have seen him peering around the corner of your English class or taking notes during a Student Council meeting, as both regular and extra-curricular activities at Marion Senior High School were evaluated. We are deeply indebted to the patrons of our community and to each student and faculty member whose generous cooperation has made the publication of the 1963 Hurricane possible. It is the sincere wish of the Hurricane Staff that, as you look through these pages, it “will lead your thoughts to high school days, the sweetest time of life.” Page 2 EDITOR . . .

Harkins. Page 6 MK1 Administration Principars Message: Marion Senior High School now offers three courses of study: College Preparatory, Commercial, and General. Marion Senior High School offers twenty-three units of work in the academic field, including five units in English, six units in mathematics, four units in science, three units in history, world geography, and two units each in Latin and Spanish, eleven units of work in fine arts, including three units in art, four units in chorus, and four units in hand; twenty-one units in practical arts, including two units in industrial arts, four units in agriculture, three units in home economics, two units in mechanical drawing, nine units in business education and one unit in distributive education. Within the framework of our offering, the administration has planned and worked during the past year to make Marion Senior High School a better school in the following ways: (1) T he Principal attended the Virginia Education Association Convention in Richmond, Vir¬ ginia, in October, 1962, and many other similar conferences of a local or regional nature. These conventions helped the administration to keep up with current happenings in education on na¬ tionwide, statewide, and local levels. (2) The administration has made many appearances before civic clubs, PTA groups, church groups, Chamber of Commerce groups, and other groups telling about various school activities. (3) There are now five groups of accelerated students. Students from the first group of accelerated students are now enrolled in advanced mathematics, advanced biology, and other elective courses. (4) A special effort was made to help all students work out an individualized study program for the year. (5) A complete study of failures in the school during the first semester was made by parents, students, and teachers. The standard of work throughout the school was raised as a result of this study. (6) An exceptionally well-planned preregistration procedure helped the students, parents, teachers, and administration plan the school program for the approaching year. (7) The school is now ' involved in a self-evaluation of the total school pro¬ gram. This evaluation will culminate with a visit in April, 1963, from a special evaluation commit¬ tee of educators who will spend three days evaluating Marion Senior High School. I J. Leonard Mauck 1 .

Physics joins science and mathematics. The solution of mathematical problems involving physical principles make up a large portion of the course. Development of an apprecia¬ tion of science through demonstrations and experiments is a very important objective and contributes to making physics a course for students who are interested, capable, and not afraid to work hard. Physics satisfies the curiosity of students about the phenomenon of the physical world and has practical value for everyone. Topics studied include gravitational force, force and motion, machines and work, heat, power and energy, electricity and magnetism, sound, light and radiation, and electronics and nucleonics. Mr. Cox explains an experiment to his Chemistry class. Chemistry is the science dealing with the study of the composition of materials, th structure, chemical and physical properties, and uses. The students conducted experimei,. and learned many useful ideas of skills that can be used in later life. “What’s so funny?” asks Miss Sadler of her Biology class. The primary objective of Dynamic Biology is to develop in students an appreciation for the subject. Dynamic Biology is based on the concept that students learn best when challenged by problems relating to the biological interests of modern daily living and when stimuli are raised to dynamic levels. In the beginning of the course, the difference between the living and non¬ living is studied by comparing characteristics. The structures and vital processes of many living organisms are studied. Those of the human are studied rather extensively. Interrelationships between living organisms and their environment is stressed also. The classification of plants and animals is studied to a moderate extent. Page 68 I as well as Social Problems Good citizenship is a way of life and eternal vigilance is still a necessary safeguard to our liberty. In our government classes we strive to make each student realize these responsi¬ bilities in our ever changing society. In learning about our documents he attains a knowledge of our rights, our privileges, and our duties. Government on a National, State, and Local level is studied and international affairs are correlated through the use of a weekly news¬ paper. Mr. Hankla and his students post a bulletin board on Renaissance Art. World History stresses the cultures of the past—Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman—as well as the Reformation, the Age of Revolutions, and rivalries among world powers in relation to their effect on the world today. Eulletin boards on such topics as the Crusades, Renaissance Art, and His¬ toric Costumes have enriched the study of World History. r. Harkins explains the branches of the national govern¬ ment to his class. Mrs. Echols shows her class the Constitution ' and the Declaration of Independence. Since a knowledge of the past is necessary to any understanding of the present, we endeavor through the study of local, state, and national history to give the student an appreciation of his nation’s ideals, traditions, and development. Effort is made to increase the student’s ability to read critically, an to evaluate evidence as to its significance. To supplement his reading there is instruction in the interpretation of maps, graphs, tables, and charts. It is hoped that the student will gain a deeper understanding of the influence of the men and women who built America, and the scope of history by reading biography, and preparing research papers. Throughout the year the interests, problems, and controversie s of today are emphasized. Page 69 We Studied Academic Math Mrs. Werth and her class seem to find three-deminsional figures funny. Solid geometry is a one-semester course open to Juniors and Seniors with trigonometry be¬ ing offered the other semester. Through this study, the students’ knowledge and discovery of geometrical truths are extended into three- dimensional space, and his understanding of the nature of logic and his computational skill in the measurement of common geomet¬ rical solids is developed. Students of Plane Geometry learn the com¬ ponents and the properties of two-demen- sional geometric figures. Developing the ability to think and reason logically and learning to make accurate constructions using precision instruments are stressed. An excellently equipped mathematics laboratory and a 300-volume mathematics library contribute greatly to an effective and interesting course in Plane Geometry. M iss Digg’s Plane Geometry class studies angles. The Algebra program at Marion Senior Hig School is a two-year course. One builds upon th other. The first year is spent learning the basi concept and fundamentals of the course, while tb second year concentrates on more theory and goc deeper into first year learning. With the new mat laboratory and equipment, tbe classes have bee able to comprehend the ideas more quickly an easily. The Algebra class studies the graphing of the circle. Page 70 and Commercial Math Terminal Mathematics is taught in the junior or senior year for the students who are in the general or commercial course. It is planned for those pupils who need more knowledge in the fundamentals of mathe¬ matics and in the application to everyday problems and needs. The course is oranized so that the student may work on individual needs and on application to everyday con¬ sumer or vocational problems. To accom¬ plish this end, we try to develop our ef- feciency as far as possible in all the funda¬ mental processes of mathematics. We study units in Statistics, Better Buymanship, Using Consumer Credit, the Family Budget, In¬ surance, Taxes, and Measurements. We thus get many experiences which will aid us in our home and in our chosen vocation. “WE LEARN TO DO BY DOING.” r m ■BT jJSggkL 1 ° i p . [1 4 1 Terminal Math class intently listens to a lecture by Mr. MacDonald. usiness Business Math is designed so that it has value for personal use as w ' ell as for business use. The class is organized so that the be¬ ginning units develop the fundamental prin¬ ciples and operations through a study of problems faced by every individual in his daily life. The principles and processes de¬ veloped in the beginning units are then ap¬ plied in subsequent units dealing with more advanced concepts. j: ill � j e The basic procedures to be applied in keep¬ ing records systematically and accurately are offered through the study of bookkeeping. Neatness and good penmanship are stressed as students learn the importance of written records to an individual or to a business concern. High schoo l bookkeeping may be used as a basis toward a possible career in accounting. Page 71 Mrs. Overbay dictates as her students copy into their ledgers. We Mastered Our Own Language The course in senior English correlated a servey of English literature with experience in all types of written composition. From the pupils’ writing emerge lessons in grammar and usage of the English language. Six book reports were required during the year. Grover Quillen points out the deadline for the term papers. A survey of American literature, a review of the basic elements of grammar, and the teaching of more involved grammatical struc¬ ture in alternating units constitutes the basic requirements of junior English. In addition, paragraph building for written composition, a vocabulary building study, and book re¬ ports on American classics supplement the course of study. A research paper based on each student’s chosen career is also required. Mrs. Burton’s English class puts up a bulletin board about the parts of speech. Alternating units in grammar and literature constitutes the program for English II. In grammar emphasis is placed on recognition and use of different parts and types of sen¬ tences. Sentence relationships are practiced by use of diagrams. Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and George Elliot’s Silas Marner are among the many various works we read. Sophomore English studies verb tense with Mr. Jordan. Page 72 as well as Foreign Languages Ninth grade English is a correlated study of literature, composition, and grammar with emphasis on correct usage of grammar in speaking and writing Book reports, creative writing, short themes, spelling, and vocabu¬ lary study serve to make the course more enjoyable. Mrs. Courtney’s English class enjoying slides concerning sentence structure. The Latin classes have numerous experi¬ ences in learning the language and in gain¬ ing an understanding of the culture of the Roman people. They use maps, charts, films, studies of English derivatives, and structural drills. Self-made notebooks and culture books, supplement reading materials, and the text book serve as a basis for a con¬ tinuous study of Roman culture. Individual and concert reading, dictation, and speak¬ ing the Latin language, based on stories and literature, give practice in acquiring skills and inspiration in finding cultural values. It is a fascinating experience to learn gradually habits, customs, language, and literature, and find the contributions made by tlie Romans to our own culture. Miss Neff’s Latin scholars study Caeser’s commentaries. The guiding principle of the Spanish De¬ partment is that language is a living thing. It is a method of communication and expres¬ sion. We want the student to live the language as much as possible, and achieve a broader understanding of the world today. In the two years of Spanish at MSHS, a student has a basic foundation of Spanish and is prepared for Intermediate College Spanish. We put as much emphasis as possi¬ ble on the spoken language. In addition to the mechanics of the language, the student is exposed to the cul¬ ture, literature, and history of the Spanish people. The Spanish class listens to Miss Gate’s translations. Page 73 We Enjoyed Vacations In Mechanical Drawing how to use the tools of square, triangles, scale, drafting machine. the student learns the draftsman, “T” compass, and the The following kinds of drawings are taught: Orthographic Projection, Dimension¬ ing, Sectioning, Pictorial Drawing, and Let¬ tering. Mechanical Drawing labors industriously on their drawings. Mr. Vicars helps Industrial Industrial Arts ship provides students with training and experience in the use of basic industrial tools of the wood and metal in¬ dustries. Experience, safety, skill and con¬ sumer knowledge are emphasized. The student may design his projects, must plan and draw r it, and figure cost before he begins work. The Vocational Agriculture Department pro¬ vides for farm boys and students who wish to work in agriculture with training to enable them to follow ' a career in Agricul¬ ture. It provides training for both efficiency in farming and agri-business. Classroom and farm shop instruction are provided for stu¬ dents. Students have an opportunity to apply what they have been taught through judging contests, crop and livestock exhibits, field trips. Agricultural Expositions, and the stu¬ dents own home farm. Page 74 Agriculture students and Mr. Robinson checks the tractor s battery. and Commercial Courses Miss Sutphin helps her Typing class with their problem Typing I involves the teaching of the basic techniques and skills necessary for advanced business courses and future office work. Com¬ petitive drills and problem work are used to “spur” the students 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 SO 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. Shorthand I deals with the basic alphabet and word families of shorthand. This class is the foundation upon which the various speeds are built. First year students may range in speed from 60 to 120 words per minute, based on live minutes of dictation. These courses are enjoyable as well as es¬ sential for personal and business reasons. Mrs. Tester directs as her students dictate, write, and transcribe shorthand Mrs. Overhay explains Office Practice procedures to her class. Office Practice offers modern, up-to-date facilities which enable students to become acquainted with conditions which would be found in an actual business office. The stu¬ dents are informed on how to operate office machines by routine practice on ten-key and full-key adding machines, rotary calculators, electric typewriters, dictating and tran¬ scribing machines, duplicating and memeo- graphing machine. A practice set offers first¬ hand experiences in filing materials alpha¬ betically, numerically, and geographically. Page 75 We Developed Ourselves Physically Home economics is concerned with the ap¬ plication of knowledge to the job of home- making and family living. The course teaches education in homemaking for the present as well as preparation for home¬ making in the future. Any girl may take home economics for one, two or three years. This year’s program has included work in foods, meal preparation, caring for and con¬ structing clothing, child care, home nursing, money management, family life, and housing. The boys physical education program has emphasized physeial fitness to a great extent during the past year. Fitness tests were given in the fall and again in the spring to check the progress during the year. Activities that were taken during the year were as follows: touch football, speedball, field hockey, volleyball, tumbling, handball, group games, wrestling, weight-lifting, use of isometrics, archery, softball, track, tennis, and golf. On Fridays the boys and girls combined classes and learned dance steps. In the classroom the rules and fundamentals of sports were taught two days a week. The Freshman stu¬ dents studied Driver’s Education and the Sophomores studied Mental Health. Mi ss W allace shows the class how to prapare refreshments. The girls physical education class playing volleyball. The girls physical education of Marion Senior Hi gh School provides various activities. In the form of physical activities, the girls participated in archery, tennis, badminton, field hockey, volleyball, tumbling, basketball, track, golf, and softball. On Fridays, the girls and boys combined and learned many useful dance steps. In the classroom, the Sophomores studied Mental Health and the Freshman studied Driver’s Education. Page 76 Mr. Chapman explains the techniques of wrestling to his class. as well as Artistically In art class the students learn the basic techniques of manipulation of materials, media, and tools. They enjoy the experience of both individual and group work where they often work closely with several of the other classes and assist in many of the school projects. The art students are encouraged to be creative in their work. They enter local, state, and national competition where crea¬ tivity is one of the main factors in rating the art work. The art students also participate in two local art exhibits each year. They make an active contribution to the life of the school by carefully planning purposeful bul¬ letin hoards for all occasions. The art class drawing and carving. Mr. Armistead directs the chorus in warm-up exercises. Chorus is a class made up of singing, and the study of things pertaining to singing. The students’ grades are derived from par¬ ticipation, attitude, and test scores. We have fun and try to be seriously interested in sing¬ ing. Through our daily singing, we prepare selections for performances. Speech and dramatics activities emphasize the development of the natural speaking ability of each individual. This is done by formal and informal speeches, criticism, prose and poetry readings, and dramatic activities. Learning to use the basic forms of speaking is elementary in productive and pleasurable life. Mr. Jordan directs the Dramatic Class in reading Hamlet. Pag© 77 We Studied Advanced Courses This fifth year of College Preparatory Mathematics is being taught for the first time in our school. The purpose of this course is to bridge the mathematical gap between in¬ termediate algebra and the calculus with a treatment that includes the standard element of trigonometry, analytic geometry, and col¬ lege algebra. Success in Advanced High School Mathematics indicates that student should be able to start calculus as his first college mathematics course. Students who like to think and enjoy lea rn¬ ing regarding concepts fine a challenge here. The content and scope of the course are varied to provide a test of the student’s pur¬ pose and determination in obtaining a scien¬ tifically oriented education. Advanced Math class studies probability. The Advanced Biology class is working on individual projects. Advanced Biology is offered to students | interested in some phase of biology for col¬ lege preparation or pre-professional educa¬ tion. The need this year indicated an em¬ phasis in human physiology and anatomy.. The course is designed to encourage critical -thinking. In addition to reviewing basic biology principles, the course extends geneticsjl itself into specialized units. Evolution and field trips, special laboratory exercises, and research projects enrich class discussions and lectures by teachers, students, and people. Page 78 and Enjoyed a Variety of Activities The purpose of General Business at Marion Senior High School is to give the students an understanding of the business world through the study of Banking, Insurance, Credit, Transportation, and Communication. The General Business classes this year pre¬ pared a term paper in which they set up their own business or retail store within the community using each phase of study covered in the course Mr. Ward supervises the General Business class as they work problems. m Miss Sutphin explains the principles of Record keeping Record Keeping is a new addition to the business department this year. This course is designed to train students in the handling of business papers and records up to the point where double-entry bookkeeping takes over. After successfully completing a year of Record Keeping the student is capable of doing some basic record keeping in an office as well as taking care of his personal records. lr. Winter’s Geography class points out places on the world map, national map, and the globe. World Geography is a story of regions and resources, of continents and countries, of political boundaries and economic activities in terms of Geography’s influences on men’s lives and fortunes. Part one of the course, with special em¬ phasis on the role of the United States, points out the importance of commodities in making the nations of the earth interde¬ pendent. Part two emphasizes lands beyond the borders of the United States to show how the geographic conditions in other areas directly affect the way their people live and why they react as they do to the many prob¬ lems of the world.

Marion 12—Graham .15 The G-Men, of Graham, later to be state champs, spilled the Hurricane in the opening game of the season. The deciding factor was the experience and weight which Graham had. Kirk Spitzei scored both touchdowns, once on a sixteen-yard sprint and the other on a eighty-five yard kick-off return. Marion 0—Chilhowie 6 Marion was edged by the Warriors by one touchdown. The vital factor again was more experience by the opponents, although it was a great battle of defense all the way. Marion 7—Pulaski 25 Marion got off to a great start and played superior ball during the first half. The Orioles, because of experience and reserve strength, overcame the Hurricane in the third period. Kirk Spitzer pushed across Marion’s only touchdown and kicked the extra point. Marion 6—Richland 26 Marion still looking for its first victory ' of the season was downed by Richlands. Millard scored Marion’s only touchdown on an 18-vard scamper. Marion 0-Grundy 40 Grundy ' s Golden Wave spoiled Marion’s homecoming by rolling over the Scarlet Hurricane. Page 94 Marion 6—Tazewell 59 Marion’s Scarlet Hurricane, hampered by injuries, was soundly defeated by Tazewell’s Bulldogs. Tazewell was led by Don Barnes who scored four T.D.s. Marion’s lone score came on a 25-yard pass play from Larry Bales to Roger Bales. Marion 0—Virginia High 19 The Virginia High Bearcats won their first game of the season, as they shutout the Marion Scarlet Hurricane 19-0. Larry Robin¬ son scored two TDs for Virginia High, with Eddie Childress scor¬ ing the final tally for the Bearcats from the Marion five-yard line. Marion 0—Abingdon 13 The Abingdon Falcons shutout Marion 13 to 0 in a hard fought contest. The Falcons scored in the second and fourth quarters, and the Hurricanes gained the one foot mark in the final seconds of the game, but failed to score. Marion’s linemen proved theii salt in a hard-fought defensive. Marion 6—Wytheville 19 The Wytheville Maroons tagged the Scarlet Hurricane by 19 tc 6, with Steve Cale scoring all of th e Maroons points. Marion’; single score came in the final stanza on a 56-yard pass play from Johnny Millard to Jimmy Ingram. Marion 14-Saltville 13 The Marion Scarlet Hurricane tagged a 14 to 13 victory on thi Saltville Shakers for its first and only victory of the season Marion came up in the second quarter with a TD by Byroi( Shankman, with Kirk Spitzer picking up the PAT. Spitzer crossecf from six yards out to tie the score and then kicked the extr;f point to take the game in the fourth stage. Both teams finishes the season with 1-9-0 records. First Row: Kirk Spitzer.

Page 142 Backward Glance On August 26, 1962, the doors of Marion Senior High opened; six hundred eager students entered for a year of fun, study, excitement. Coach Earp and his hard hitting eleven tackled Graham on August 31 only to lose the first game. The team had a 1-9 record for the season. Even with this record, however, they were praised for their never ending efforts. On September 18, the Seniors were bursting at the seams. The rings had arrived! Throughout the day the Seniors could be seen with extended hands as they showed off their newest possessions. College Career Night, held on September 26, brought students from neighboring communities to discuss their future. Homecoming weekend was highlighted by the Variety Show, “Hurricane Follies,” and the Homecoming Dance. The Homecoming court consisted of Tessie Dishner, Queen; Marcy Hall and Jean Owens, senior attendants; and Sandy Garvey and Reba Pickle Bales, junior attendants. Everyone willingly took advantage of a few days of leisure during Thanksgiving holidays, and then thoughts turned to basketball. The first basketball game was played on December 11. The teams wound up the seas on with a 13-10 record for the boys and a 11-1 record for the girls. Both teams won championships in the Smyth County Basketball Tournament. The Junior Class presented “A Midsummer Night ' s Scream” on December 8, 1962. Elizabeth Werth, Richard Kirk, and Jimmy Wassum were in the title roles. “Crystal Magic” was the theme of the annual Christmas dance sponsored by the “Y” clubs. Queen Marcy Hall and King Johnny Millard reigned over the dance. The long awaited Christmas holidays began on December 19. They were much too short, however, and we re¬ turned only to face the mid-term exams on January 16, 17, and 18. The Valentine Dance on February 16 was sponsored by the F.F.A. and the F.H.A. “Cupid’s Cove” was the theme; Pete Sledd and Tessie Dishner reigned as King and Queen. On March 29 the Senior Class presented a Broadway comedy, “Dear Ruth,” under the direction of Mrs. George Walker. Janie McKay and John Booth held the leading roles. May 2, 3, and 4, the days of the unforgettable Senior trip to Washington, were the beginning of many Senior activities. On May 11 the Seniors were entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Finally, the long awaited events, Graduation Day, arrived on June 3. As we, the Seniors of Marion Senior High School, leave the halls of our beloved school, we leave you with this thought: Always strive to do your best, never lose faith in what you are doing, and you will surely succeed.

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.” LAUREL SPRIXGS DAIRY Grade A Pasteurized Milk Milk Products Your Local Dairy Industry for 41 years.
