Minor changes were visible on the first day of school. Near the student parking lot foun¬ dations lay for three tennis courts. Up the walk a new pressbox overlooked the emp¬ ty stadium. Only the gym was crowded. Increased enroll¬ ment forced the assembly from the auditorium. UPPER RIGHT: Amid the confusion of the opening assembly, Charlie Richardson bids welcome to Lyn Thompson.LOWER RIGHT: Perched above the viewing stands, the new pressbox proved a worthwhile investment. mmmu 9 iJB 1 v , fUtOH SCfftLET r I HURRICRHEl REVOLUTION A bit more drastic than new structures and meeting places was the opening assembly itself. Our new student body was welcomed by a new prin¬ cipal. Mr. James Earp arrived from the Montgomery County school system on August 1 to take charge of the duties formerly performed by Howard Williams. In the mean¬ time, Mr. Williams was busy with his new job at the School Board office in the position emptied by E. R. Thompson. To add to the confusion of this administrative upheaval, upon the announcement of the retirement of Dr. J. Leonard Mauck as Superintendent of Smyth County Schools, E. R. Thompson was promoted to the post. No shots were fired when these four top school ad¬ ministrators changed jobs. The new duties of each will be learned and executed with as little disturbance and as much wisdom as the men can muster. Will these changes be an improvement for the future years? Only time will tell. TOP LEFT: Sock-hop chaperone James Earp takes a break. RIGHT: Distraction from Bill Earp hardly bothers Superintendent Thompson. BOTTOM LEFT: Still in his old office, Dr. Mauck attends his paperwork. LEFT: Farewell gifts were presented to the Howard Williamses by the faculty. 3 Our town has been infected by the recycling bug. The Smyth County Courthouse is in the process of being remodeled and enlarged to fit the growing needs of the community. County residents have been granted the chance to recycle their bodies in programs offered by the Smyth Family YMCA. A renovated warehouse on East Main Street has become the ad¬ dress of Happy’s Pizza Parlor, a friendly place for night-time fun. ABOVE: Eagerly awaiting her turn to order, Sheila Reedy sneaks a preview of the menu over Tom Strickland’s shoulder. RIGHT: The remodeling of the courthouse in¬ cludes the displacement of this an¬ tique stained-glass dome. Perhaps the most crucial changeover has been that in national government in the past year. After a monumental landslide victory in 1972, Richard Nixon became the first man to resign from the Presidency on August 11,1974. Into the Oval Office went Gerald Ford, our Vice President of only four months. Once again the search for a new Vice President was instituted. The financial background of Nelson Rockefeller caused un¬ rest but his appointment was confirmed.

S SiSfe y Working at JEM Corporation kept the summer full for Dennis Farris. Painting the office was only one of the summer secretarial duties of Mrs. Helen Byrd. r Mowing the lawns at WMEV was one of the duties of Mark Alex¬ ander. After a day of hot drudgery in band camp, a yawning Jane Bass confers with Patton Graham. Summer Slips Away In a Haze of Camps and Work Faculty lunches were often purchased at Ray’s while pre-school scheduling was in process. Summer, that lovely word that means release for many students, meant work to many others. July took the cheerleaders, flag corps, drum major, and majorettes to various camps where they recycled their ideas about their positions and responsibility to the school. The remnants of our summer contained only August, but it proved to be a busy month. Early Monday morning, August 12, 140 drowsy musicians began tuning up for the week of band camp. The next week a bunch of tough guys showed up to put in similar hours of practice so they might lead the Big Red Machine to glorious victory in the coming foot¬ ball season. For some of us, summer meant work, for others, play, but for all of us it was the beginning of something new. Field practice at band camp brought sour looks to the faces of Dana Seville and Barbara Hester and a grin to that of Dwight Hester. 9 M 2 Special Activities Attended by Students Senior Amy Scott attended the Governor’s school for the Gifted. Summer proved a busy time in more ways than one for several Marion students. In addition to jobs and lazy days in the sun, eight seniors were chosen to spend one week living in and controlling the government of their own miniature city and state. The activity spoken of was Girls’ and Boys’ State. The program was instituted by the American Legion to give worthy Seniors a chance to learn more about their government through direct involvement. Mary Baldwin College was the scene of the 1974 session of Governor’s School. The school was designed to give certain high school pupils a chance to spend a month at a college with 150 of their peers while taking courses of their own in¬ terest and choice. The King College study program offered the chance to take college courses along with college students and to receive credit toward each student’s intend¬ ed college major. Girls chosen to attend Girls’ State were Lisa Hawks, Rhonda Leedy, Cindy Burchett, and Sharon Albert. Representatives of Boys’ State were Tcm- my Wilson, G reg Lawrence, Mike Bauman, and Alberto Iglesias. fry ' 10 New additions to the faculty were Fred Surber, Marlene Dunford, Everette Neece, David Archer, Sally Brickey, and Wilburn Harris. Trophies were awarded to the 1974-75 edition of the Scarlettes when they attended Drill Team Camp at Ball State University. 11 Participants of the King College program were Stuart Jones and Sue Matthews. Early Start Brings Student Complaints As August 22nd rolled around, there were many reluctant cries uttered by Marion High students. Another nine months of getting up at the ‘‘crack of dawn,” doing endless homework assignments, and occasionally going to sleep during one of those seemingly everlasting lectures, began with opening day speeches in the gym. For Seniors, it was the beginning of the end of a high school career and for others it was the beginning of a unique learning experience. Senior Tom Sexton inspects the new handbook on the first day. Ears strained to construe the words of our SCA Presi¬ dent, Alberto Iglesias as he welcomed us and in¬ troduced our new principal, James Earp. Upon ad¬ journment to homerooms we received new SCA hand¬ books containing information about school clubs and organizations, changes in the Marion Senior High School constitution, and a map of our school—a cherished possession of every Freshman. It was a hectic day, just like every year previous, but as usual, we made it through. The gym served as meeting place for the opening day assembly. Handbook committee members, Alberto Iglesius, Lesa Greer and Susan Bush com¬ posed a new handbook. Fees were collected in each individual homeroom. Here, Miss Young accepts Johnny Rector ' s money. 13 Football Season Takes A Turn for the Worse Spirit Week was the beginning of what was to be a less than eventful season for the Scarlet Hurricane football team. Pep rallies were held before school in the auditorium for all who wished to attend and a car smash was held on the day before the game. Nothing seemed to help much though, as we lost the first game to Chilhowie by a score of 31 to 0. Injured Mike Riley is helped from the field in the first game. Varsity cheerleaders portray their Chilhowie counterparts in the first pep rally. Alone in the Gate City stands after halftime, Sue Matthews watches third quarter action. 14 The season’s first touchdown came in the se¬ cond quarter of the Patrick Henry game. The inexperience of our team con¬ tinued to show as we lost to Patrick Henry, Gate City, and Graham with no relief in sight. The bright spots came on Homecoming when Big Red defeated John Battle and on the last game of the season when our team beat Richlands by the score of 13 to 7. The Scarlet Hurricane’s record at the end of the season was 2-7-1. We weren’t on top all the time, but neither were the Miami Dolphins. 15 College and Career Options Explored! This was the night, perhaps, that set the juniors’ minds to thinking about the future. It both created and allayed fear in the hearts of seniors concerning their own choices of colleges and careers. But what was College Career Night? Physically, it was the night set aside for conferences between junior and senior students and representatives of colleges and career op¬ portunities. On a deeper level it was the time when we began to recycle in our own minds, our thoughts about the future. College Career Night involved not only our own juniors and seniors but students from all the county high schools and our freshman girls who served aptly as guides. Students received first-hand information about the Coast Guard from CPO Dave Downer. Opportunities in the banking field were revealed by Mr. H. M. Francis. Prospects of a college career at Hiwassee College were presented by Damon Mitchell. Representative Al Colley from Virginia Highlands Community College tries to per¬ suade Everett Worley to choose to commute. 16 K Virginia High School player swats at the ball as Laura McCarty alms at the jasket. Girls Post a 19-1 Record If you happened to wander into Hurricane House during the months of September, October, or November you probably were surprised to see a group of girls running sprints and shooting lay¬ ups. What you were seeing was not a figment of your imagination it was the Scarlet Hurricane Girls’ Basketball team hard at work practicing for one of their twenty games. The girls had an un¬ defeated season and placed 2nd in Regionals tournament. ,i lauuup Pre-game warm-up at Patrick Henry included a lengthy rendition of Red Hot. At a low point in the Regional game with Wytheville, Coach Duncan glares at Susan Groseclose to make her point. 17 Backstage help from Mrs. Veselik, Mrs. Pugh, and music from Mrs. Sullivan insure a successful pageant. It appears that Terri Ferrell would like a shorter dress. Judges, Dr. Claudius Pritchard, Mrs. David Ford, and Miss Margaret Ann Groseclose, confer over the selection of a winner. Tired Shelley Sharpe is only glad that it’s all over. 18 These blue jean-clad girls are actually the contestants rehearsing a song for the pageant. Cinderellas Created Finalists for the title were Sharon Albert, Beth Bauman, Alish a Hays, Kathy Hutton, and Lyn Thompson. Girls representing each class and club competed for the title of Miss Marion Senior High School on September 21. On this night it seem¬ ed as if the fairy godmother had created 48 brand new Cinderellas. Each girl looked like a princess as she stepped through the castle arch escorted by either Alberto Iglesias or Steve Weisbrod. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Lyn Thompson as Miss Marion Senior High School by James Earp. itfh 41 i IT . T T f , -vi ♦ L.

Led by co-captains Greg Lawrence and Alan Blevins, the team won the district championship and placed third in the region. Coach Brockman was as eager as the team, since this year the course was changed to three miles. Hungry Mother Park served as a proving ground for Alan Blevins and the team. Participants of a meet prepare for the starting gun. After school hours the halls become a practice area for the track team. Team members, Terrence Jones and Donna Ewald listen to a last minute pep talk. 1 Beta Club Initiates 28 Beta Ballerina Ann Stewart plrouttes on the table in the cafeteria New Members During the tapping assembly, Dean Mills proudly accepts the symbolic candle. Three senior and 25 junior students were tapped into the club this year. Miss Elieth Sanchez, the foreign exchange student, was tapped as an honorary member. The solemn assembly was not illuminated by candles only, but by the eager faces of ex¬ pectant juniors. New members were given white candles that were lighted sym¬ bolically during their induction into the club. Perhaps it seemed that the Beta pledge ended the activities for new members, but this was only the beginning. Annually, the new members of the club are initiated before the amused eyes of the school. This year, the Beta Ballerinas pirouetted down the halls chanting: Beta Ballerinas brought big bundles and are brazenly bopping boisterously because better Beta Bunnies became Big Brawny Betas by being brains! Seniors enjoyed the candy provided by newly tapped Betas, and though they are reluctant to admit it, junior Betas enjoyed the day too. Our foreign exchange student, Elieth Sanchez, was made an honorary member. 21 Homecoming Brings Season ' s First Victory The way it was in the 1950’s was depicted by Lonna Yates and Mac Poe in the Senior Class skit. Thursday night, October 17th, the auditorium was the scene of the an¬ nual variety show. This year’s theme was “The Way We Were”; clubs, classes, and organizations all got together to participate. The climax was the Senior class skit entitled “At the Hop” and the singing of the Alma Mater. Friday brought rain, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. We had a pep rally and right before the game a parade featuring the candidates for queen, the Scarlettes, and the band. The John Battle Trojans came out fighting in the first quarter, but they found themselves to be no match for the mighty Hurricane and were defeated 20-0. Varsity Cheerleaders, Sharon Albert, Brenda Blevins, and Karen Willis showed us a light side of commercials in the Homecoming pep rally. Esteemed faculty members gave a look at one of their 1930 meetings. 22 Homecoming Queen, Beth Bauman, and her court: Sharon Albert, Laurie Walker, Shelley Sharpe, and Brenda Blevins smile through the rain after the halftime crowning. Couples danced to the music of Homer Stills at the annual dance. Number 80, Johnny Wilson, snatches a pass away from a John Battle defender. 23 Fall Causes Hassle Fall was a blend of hot, lazy days, red leaves and happenings. In addi¬ tion to all the hassle of classes and homework, many people chose to participate in extracurricular activities. Sports took up a good deal of time for some students while others chose to march in the band or take part-time jobs. Field trips such as the senior’s visit to industries also were a part of our routine. Whether working or studying or playing or just sitting on a bank in the sun, it was somehow typical and it was fall. The dangers of overpopulation were presented by State Department employee, J. Grant Burke. Shakespearean scholar, Milton Dickson, presents one- man show. Everyone knows that writing on desks is forbidden, everyone except Sal- In class, Pam Gelb sneaks a few minutes for a much-needed nap. Art students Bill Veselik, Donna Ewald and Beth Bauman are hard at work sketching unwary subjects. Lazy fall days bring these two unsuspecting people out of the building and into the grass. The fall biology field trip gave Advanced Biology student, Stuart Hutton and Mrs. Potter a chance to get out of the classroom. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Makes Speech on Projected Programs Boosts Election Campaign of Incumbent U.S. Representative Emerging victoriously from the race for Coun¬ ty Clerk of the Court, was Jimmy Warren. On October 22nd, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz and Congressman William C. Wampler were guests in Marion at the Chamber of Commerce Town and Country Banquet. The banquet, which was held in the school cafeteria, was followed by a rally in the auditorium. In addition to the re- election of Congressman Wampler, an antiquated Blue Law, which prohibited the Sunday sale of such basic items as toilet paper, was abolished. Incumbent Congressman Bill Wampler gets a hearty salute from Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz after the Town and Country Banquet and speeches. This voting machine shows the choice given to Smyth County residents. Question: Shall the provisions of § 18.1 363.1 of the Code of Vir¬ ginia (commonly known as the Sunday Closing Law) be effective in Smyth County? YES NO I Local grocery stores were allowed to open, but the sale of certain items was prohibited.

Godspell Presented For Thanksgiving Unforeseen pleasure arrived with Thanksgiving. School activities proceeded as usual but an extra treat came over the weekend. The Gam¬ ma Delta Tri-Hi-Y and Boy’s Hi-Y co-sponsored an assembly in which the Rev. Dan Straw of Glade Spring delivered a message to the students. Following this, the chorus performed a medley of songs from Godspell.” By Sunday afternoon, before we were to return to school, a cushiony 16 in¬ ches of snow had fallen. Vacation was extended a week, leaving only nine school days before Christmas. Long rehearsals paid off when the student body gave the chorus rave reviews for their per¬ formance. Lonely yellow buses, nearly covered and blocked by a scraper’s work, were forgotten by students for a week. Peanuts Gang Invades Juniors Phrases such as, Linus, get rid of that stupid blanket!” and Lucy you’re just plain crabby!” could be heard as December 7th rolled around and it was time once again for the junior class play. The production, a musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” proved itself a crowd pleaser with many snappy tunes and even a dance by everyone’s favorite dog, Snoopy. Advertisement included an interview and some excerpts by the cast on the “Open House” television show. The snow, still deep on the ground, was no barrier for Peanuts” fans when showtime came on Saturday night and again on Monday morning when the play was presented for the students returning from their extended Thanksgiving vacation. The play, directed and choreographed by Miss Teresa Keller, received a standing ovation. 1 l_ i ' ' ' i ' m SC-H- 1 V -V i Leaning dejectedly on Schroeder ' s piano, Lucy reflects on the wisdom of her long life. 1 T V?

Backstage, Joe Hash and Steve Copeland manage the lighting system. 28 Hours of rehearsal were needed off stage to learn the songs and choreography. Peppermint Patty and Linus strain their vocal chords on the theme song. Even though a bit larger than the traditional, James McNeil still fits the role of Cnarlie Brown. Looking more human than ever, Snoopy (Mark Snider) takes a casual perch atop his house. A 29 The Y ' s of Christmas Shown by Tri-Hi Suspended snowflakes and a huge lighted evergreen enhanced the cafeteria for the annual Y-sponsored dance. Christmas came and went with the usual activities. Clubs in¬ volved themselves in spreading the Christmas spirit and many gave food baskets to needy families. The Jr. Tri-Hi-Y had a party for under-privileged children and together the Y clubs sponsored the Christmas Dance. The dance was themed “Christmas Carousel” and music was provided by Ko-Ko. The chorus and band presented a musical program for the Christmas assembly and the Beta Club held its annual Beta Bazaar to raise money for the Convention and scholar¬ ships. For a donation of 50 cents, Miss Susan Sneed received a chance to win the gingerbread house beside Mrs. Werth. 30 Friendly snowball fights helped these two boys forget about exams momentarily. Finally, Mike Williams receives his government exam from Mr. Brockman. Mischief Exists in Spite of Exams Every student knows the hassle and drudgery of ex¬ ams. Of course, some students did begin to study in ad¬ vance. The vast majority, however, were faced with the problems of cramming thousands of little known facts into their tired brains the night before the exam and the purpose of such tests were questioned time and time again. There was one ray of hope though, for seniors and underclassmen as well. The School Board passed the exemption proposal which had been compiled by members of the senior class and S.C.A. Seniors who passed the majority of their subjects were exempt from final examination in those respective classes. Mini¬ courses were substituted for exams. Biology students Mary Killinger and Greg Armstong work on their ex¬ ams. 31 Snow and Cold Brings Excitement to Indoor Sports Weary but victorious Steve Farrell Is proclaimed the winner. Winter brought more to our school than just snow and cold weather. Sports helped to take minds off the inclement weather and all that homework by getting a number of students involved. Volleyball, for girls, was organized and coached by Jeanne Duncan. This team was a first in school history. The indoor track team could be seen pacing the halls every afternoon in preparation for their many meets. They didn’t have the best place to practice, but that didn’t affect their perfor¬ mance or their winning ways. The wrestling team had a winning way about them, too. They grappled their way to a second place finish in the district with four wrestlers par¬ ticipating in the state tournament. In dominant control of his opponent, Lester Owens drives for a pin. Hurricane fans grope for miniature basketball souvenirs thrown by the cheerleaders. In a rush for control, a Blue Devil is scissored between Don Hanley and Bill Goetzinger. M $ J.V.

For the opening games, many fans turned out to support the Hurricanes. Later though, as they came up against such fearsome opponents, such as Tazewell and Gate City, the fan turnout was very low. The J.V. and varsity found renewed support as they ended their regular season with a 13-9 record. Backers turned out in masses to support the varsity players when they participated in the tournament held in the Hurricane House. Driving underneath his Trojan opponent, Johnny Wilson shoots from the side. J.V. Coach David Archer reviews strategy during a brief timeout. 35 Courses Tailored To Interests Two new classes were formed and an older type of curriculum was recogniz¬ ed this year, as the advanced drama, music appreciation class, and the vocational school became better known. The advanced drama group, taught by Teresa Keller and composed of seven second year drama students, produced and performed House at Pooh Corner,” and the Awareness Week assembly. They also prepared promptbooks complete with lighting and sound cues and participated in the Tulip Tyme Festival at Virginia Inter- mont. In the spring, they helped the chorus with their musical, “Celebrate Life.” The music appreciation class, in¬ structed by Mrs. Donna Sullivan, was designed to give students a greater in¬ sight into music. Their projects includ¬ ed helping the advanced drama class with the Awareness Week assembly and assisting the chorus with Celebrate Life.” They also studied various types of music and their com¬ posers. Three hours of each day were spent by many of our students at the Vocational School learning a trade or skill. Drafting, plumbing and practical nursing were among the courses offered. VICA, the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, was active in the school and through it students were able to compete in their area of skill. Julie Wollitz, Debbie Griffitts and Baker Martin were district winners. With the help of a Chilhowie classmate, nursing student Donna Kelly practices heart massage on a lifelike mannequin. Auto mechanics students learn first hand of the intricacies of an internal combustion engine. Cosmetology class provides students with a chance to practice on each other. Advanced Drama students learn from Miss Keller how to use the light panel. Students of the music appreciation class often practice backstage. In the welding shop, Charles Hester creates some un¬ known object. Drama students Carol Vaught and Rhonda Leedy put on their white-face pantomime make-up. 37 Students Defy Apathy Charge with Awareness Week Cleaning lockers was just one of the ways students improve the Friendship flowers brightened the day for Mrs. Byrd, Mrs. Kiser and Mrs. looks of the school. Crewey. Awareness Week was spon¬ sored by the Student Cooperative Association and set up especially to make students more conscious of the school and each other. The state S.C.A. theme, “Dawning of Awareness,” lent its name to the activities that began as an assembly written and per¬ formed by the Advanced Drama class with help from the Music Appreciation group. The school was introduced to an apathetic student named Dork the teenage no-good, and each person may have seen a small piece of himself in the skits and pantomimes performed. The next day tissue flowers were sold and given as reminders that we did care, while one en¬ tire day was set aside to honor seniors. The week was con¬ cluded by clean-up day which did result in a neater, cleaner school temporarily, but by the end of the following week things were back to normal. Teamwork was a big part of Mrs. Smith ' s clean-up. A skit was performed by Laurie Walker and Scott Morrell to show the results of apathy. Inspectors Invade The Evaluation committee discussed the pros and cons of the school In order to receive accreditation in the state, all high schools are required to undergo evaluation. Our evalua¬ tion took place in March oy a team of teachers and school administration personnel from across the state. The eleven member group arrived on a snowy Monday after¬ noon and was treated to a banquet in the cafeteria. They toured all departments and sat in on classes. In addition, they held a meeting on Thursday with the entire faculty to discuss their findings. Once again we had been ac¬ credited. Chip Shuler, Kim Goodman and Frank Britton enjoyed the music at lunch while it lasted. 39 Senior Talent Displayed In Ask Any Girl” “Ask Any Girl” was proudly presented on April 22nd by members of the senior class. The plot of the comedy con¬ cerned Meg Wheeler, a young girl whose greatest desire was the fulfillment of her dream—to move to New York Ci¬ ty, work in a penthouse office and marry her boss. The result was a humorous account of her efforts. In the end, Meg accomplishes her goal by the use of “motivation research,” but not exactly as she had expected. FRONT ROW: Sandra Rowland, Pam Gelb, Mary Boehm, Cindy Burchett, Carol Vaught, Vanessa Cox and Sue Matthews. BACK ROW: Greg Blevins, Amy Scott, Marie Seward, Karen Adams, Larry Hutton, Rhonda Leedy, Warren McClellan, Lesa Greer, and Shelia Reedy. As Jeannie announces her engagement, the diamond, admired by Ruby, Terri, and Heidi, becomes the center of attention. Anxiously awaiting any news of Meg ' s new home, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, Aunt Fern and Aunt Lettie gather around the phone. While listening for his cue, Warren McClellan takes one last look at his lines. While taking part in a D D survey given by Miles Doughton, Meg Wheeler practically choked to death on a peppermint flavored cigar cigarette. As a few members of the cast put the final touches on their make-up, stu¬ dent director, Sheila Reedy, helps leading lady, Marie Seward, with her hair. Like children at Christmas, co-directors, Mrs. Werth and Mrs. Pugh, tear into their gifts given by the cast. 41 ' Valiant ' Cast Participates in State One Act Festival On March 1, a very nervous cast and an even more nervous direc¬ tor arrived at Graham High School for District One Act Play Competition. The cast of The Valiant’ and director Teresa Keller brought home a superior rating from District and Regional com¬ petition. Their performances entitled them to participate in the State One Act Festival, which was held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, on April 1-5. Presentation at the State Festival was the highest honor the play could receive. Despite the interrogation of Warden Holt (Gerald Teaster) and the comforts of Father Daly (Calvin Romans), James Dykes refuses to the death to tell about his past. Asking only for a short good-bye before facing the gas chamber, James Dyke ' s (Mike Bauman) tense stance reveals something about his inner feelings in his final embrace with Josephine Paris (Rhonda Leedy). Words from stu¬ dent director Marie Seward and direc¬ tor Teresa Keller are pondered by cast members Tom Strickland. Calvin Romans, Rhonda Leedy, and Gerald Teaster 3reat energy and effort are put forth as Eddie Guy swings for a single. As the John Battle game progresses, the dugout crew looks exhausted. In high gear, Joe Ferraro rounds first base and continues to second. .600 Season Proves Worthy Hot weather draws out baseball players at our school. Fans witness¬ ed the making of a record of 12 wins, 8 losses this year. Hits, strikes, fouls, walks, home runs and lots of prac¬ tice all went into the makeup of this record. Also involved in the game of baseball were people: coaches, um¬ pires, the fans, though few, and, of course, the players themselves. Everyone involved contributed to the making of the team and its record. 43 Tracksters Race to the Number One Position V With all opponents far behind her, Susan Ratliff rounds up the last leg in the relay for a first place. On the track, the field, or in the halls, spring track stars were everywhere! Both boys and girls were provided an opportunity to prove their athletic prowess through boy ' s and girl’s track. Once the competitive spirit took hold, they brav¬ ed wind, rain, the blazing sun and total exhaustion to keep their muscles toned and ready for track meets. In extremely bad weather, they took to the halls of the school to practice their sport. Hurdles were set up for some, but others just ran and ran in the seemingly endless race to make the Hurricane teams number one. Quickness, the main key in running hurdles, is shown by Mike Bauman as he pulls ahead. A good baton exchange from Steve McGhee starts Gary Hart on the second leg of the mile relay. Deep In concentration, Tammy Cregger begins the winding ritual before throwing the discus. Running neck and neck, Steve McGhee and his op¬ ponents battle to the finish. Reaching for the sun, Larry Jennings strives to break a record. Attempting to sit on the high jump bar is one of Julie Parks ' specialties. The government students listened attentively as lawyer, Joe Tate, lec¬ tured on the fundamentals of law. With a smile of appreciation, student teacher, Robert Harry opened the gift from his students. On a hot spring afternoon, students take time out to enjoy a baseball game between Marion and Rich Valley. Sophomore, Alvin Miller, reveals his TRUE identity to members of his English class. A few of the senior boys displayed different expressions as they were told of their duties on Youth Government Day. Feeling the excitement of getting out of morning classes, the juniors board buses to visit various Marion industries. Sunshine Brightens Faces When spring arrived, our heads uplifted, our smiles brightened, and our minds turned to thoughts of summer days and vacation. It seemed as if every day was cramm¬ ed full of unique experiences which were well worth our time. We learned many things to be used as the years open up and offer us new challenges. 47 Speed, Agility, Slice and Backhand Leads Tennis Teams to Victory. Serve, double fault, duece; all these terms and many others were uttered by members of the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams as they fought for victory. The girls team posted a 9-4 record while the boys team volleyed and smashed their way to the tune of 14 wins and 4 losses. Both groups put in long hours of practice at the courts just to hear those magical words; Game, Set, and Match. Calmness Is one of Don Hanley ' s greatest assets In tennis. Along with the backhand stroke, Donna Murphy adds a little hip action. Face-making and teeth-gritting ease the strain on Steve Bush. Ability and talent are evident as Laurie Walker returns a shot. Tennis player Lynn Burkett, combines her gymnastic and tennis skills for a volley shot l !■ Education, Fun and Tired Muscles All Rolled into One Less than one hundred brave souls ventured to go on the Senior Trip to the nation’s capitol. From all reports, though, the trip was well worth the time and money spent. Before reaching Washington, the students toured Colonial Williamsburg to get a touch of Virginia history. In Washington, D.C., the group visited the Smithsonian Institute, the Washington Monument, the wax museum, and many other sights. Nights were busy with such ac¬ tivities as a boat ride on the Potomac River. Coming home, the weary crew stopped in Charlottesville to visit Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson. The trip was an exhausting one, but it served to pull the class of 75 a little closer for the remaining few weeks of high school. On a moonlight cruise down the Potomac River, Amy Scott pauses in her kazoo concert for her fellow seniors. Seniors, Marie Seward and Alberto Iglesias stand in awe as they gaze up at the Lincoln Memorial. The stocks at Williamsburg became a great place for Larry Abel to ham it up for a picture. The strain of all night riding on buses becomes evident as Seniors try to keep up with their guide at Williamsburg. Tournament play provides plenty of extra time for players to rest. Concentration on form keeps Greg Ferrell’s afternoon practice time full. Golfers Take Third in State The nine guys and one girl on the golf team took ex¬ tra care to make their sport be noticed in school. With the coaxing of Larry Sayers and the added glamour of Teri Ferrell, team leaders Greg Ferrell and Carson Holbrook, guided the players to victories including the Southwest District, Region IV and third pla ce in the AA State Championship. Golfers Greg Ferrell and Billy Buchanan head for the next green at the Glenrokie Country Club in Abingdon. Caddying for themselves, Tim and Carson Holbrook proceed to the first green in the Southwest District Tournament. 51 Juniors Plus Hard Work Equals Prom The Yellowstone office building gar¬ age saw lots of juniors in the weeks before the prom, for it was here that plans were completed. Using a theme of Welcome My Friends to the Show That Never Ends,’’ the group worked hard to impress the seniors. Every available inch of space in the cafeteria, library, breezeway and hall was decorated. Bright circus colors dazzled the eyes of those who attended. Juniors made paper mache animals — a gorilla, elephant, seal, giraffe and a tiger — as part of the decorations. Unfor¬ tunately, some students wanted to make souvenirs of them, and Mr. Earp “caged” the animals in his of¬ fice. Music was provided by Underground, but further entertain¬ ment came when the clown (alias Mr. Neese) arrived. The Show That Never Ends” did come to an end, but it will be remembered by juniors and seniors alike. Artists Susan Ratliff and Mike Williams work diligently on the backdrop. Events that happened while working on the prom astonished Laura McCarty. Concentration helps Underground present The Greatest Show on Earth. Putting their heads together, Amy Barton and Tracy Unteidt create a tiger. Preparation for the prom proves enjoyable for Susan Perdue and David Harrington. Finally, after weeks of work, the juniors present the Junior-Senior Prom.

The Business and Professional Women’s club scholarship was awarded by Mrs. Ellen Greenwood to Debbie Walls. AWARDS RECOGNIZE THE SUCCESS OF SENIORS Senior sponsor, Lillie Echols presents the “I Dare You” award to Gloria Edwards and Nile Tester- man. Recipients of the Use Shift memorial nursing scholarship were Amy Scott, Rhonda Leedy, Annette Conner, Pam Blevins and Connie Blevins. Being a senior means many things, but among the most important of these was the various awards that were reserved for members of this class only. The “I Dare You,” D.A.R., band and thespian awards were just a few that were bestowed on graduating seniors, and thousands of dollars were also given away in the form of scholarships. The B.P.W., the Lion’s club, Art League, Kiwanas and Pilot club awards were some of the scholarships awarded yearly. In addition, there were the Brunswick academic and athletic awards plus the Isle Shift awards presented by the Ladies Auxiliary of Smyth County Community Hospital. Seniors are lucky, not only to be upperclassmen at last, but to have people in the community who are willing to give up their time and money as well. The D.A.R. Good Citizen award was presented by Mr. Earp to Beth Bauman. The Arion Award, for the outstanding band student, was presented by Mr. Evans to Rhon¬ da Leedy.

The mathematical brain this year was Dean Mills, Mr Mathematics. While Athletes Receive Sports Letters Most students hoped to achieve any type of award or honor some time in their life. While several felt that at¬ taining a high scholastic average was important, others wanted to gain fame through athletics. Keeping up grades and competing in sports too was very time consuming and left hardly a minute to spare. Hard work and concentration were essential to reaching these goals. Students were allowed to take tests after the first semester with the possibility of earning scholastic letters. An award was also given to a deserving senior who had participated in two or more sports. This year the honor went to Greg Lawrence. After accepting the Brunswick scholarship at the athletic banquet, Greg Lawrence expresses his appreciation in a short speech. All the coaches proudly stand behind the various trophies won by their teams. Senior girls, with only one exception, busy themselves cleaning the stadium for gradua¬ tion exercises. Greg Lawrence and Sue Matthews practice their speeches for graduation. Final Performance Held by The Class of ' 75 Graduation is a word that has a sound of deep finality. For seniors, it meant the end of many things. For some, it meant the end of formal education, to others the end of security. To all, it was the end of an era. Several activities marked the approaching close. Mini-courses occupied the time that exams ususally held. Reguiar class hours were changed to practice time for baccalaureate and graduation. Greg Lawrence and Sue Matthews practiced their speeches. As graduation came closer, another aspect presented itself. Seniors were respon¬ sible for the appearance of the stadium at graduation, so several people stayed after school to help sweep it out. The absolute end arrived on Tuesday, June 3, at 8:00 p.m. Diplomas were awarded, and for the Class of 75, a period of history ended. Karate stances occupy the minds of these seniors who were exempt from exams. Lining up in order of height to march in to baccalaureate proves difficult for these senior girls.

With mixed emotions of happiness, sadness, impatience or glee, the seniors march to the strains of “Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance, as played by the band. FUN AND SUN We counted the days, the hours, even the minutes until the time that we would be free, at least for the summer. When that day finally did arrive, books were returned, papers flew through the air, and shouts of glee went up from every corner of the school. There was a tinge of sadness experienced by most seniors, but even that was overcome with one single word; PARTY!! The end of the school year means celebration. The smoking pit was filled with happy faces as those last hours dwindled away. To Johnny Wilson and Julie Parks, celebration means a kiss. Lockers yielded their contents, often on the floor, as anxious students hurried to get away. fetejto;,: I ' W Wr ' ' . |H are ’sports have foeerr called America’s favorite pasttfne.

Slow Season Ends with Few Wins Being a football player isn ' t easy by any standards. People hit you, knock you down, even fall on you, but the Scarlet Hurricane squad just took it and went on. it was a tough year since there were only three seniors and the majority of the team was inexperienced.

Semi-Finals Lost to Gate City The Big Red Roundballers started the season in high fashion, winning 10 of the first 13 ballgames. The Smyth County Tournament was swept by wide margins with all team members seeing action in both games. A late season slump slow¬ ed the team somewhat, but they appeared to be recovered by the time of the District Tournament. John Battle was trounced 70-54 in a preliminary game, then a 79-75 loss to Gate City in the semifinals concluded the season. The team finished with a 13-9 overall record. Johnny Wilson was the lone Hurricane representative on the ALL-SWD squad announced by BRISTOL HERALD COURIER. Corner Cutters Bring Home Two State Titles With the only indoor tracks available being in Lynchburg and Lexington, few spectators were present to applaud the Indoor Track team’s outstanding per¬ formances and the long drives brought them home at a weary 12:00 and 1:00 a.m. These hardships, however, did not dissolve their desire to be number one. They had a great season with the highlight being the Region IV Championship won with every participant scoring. Another outstanding performance was done by Mike Bauman who won the State Championship in the long jump and the 60 yard high hurdles.

It was not unusual to spot this band of hard working athletes pacing through Wassona, the Brunswick Road, or Hungry Mother State Park.

With the backing of a devoted coach and the efforts from a group that really cared, the tracksters swept away with three championships—the Smyth Co. Tournament, the Abingdon Relays, and the SWD Meet. A hoped-for regional title was lost, but Marion left her mark with three new Regional Records by Dan Slemp and Briggs Bauman.

Disappointments Give Way to Triumphs Hopes for a championship were twice dissolved when the girl ' s track team received runner-up titles in both the District meet and the Marion Invitational. With the past behind, the girls plunged into the Regional Meet with a tenacious determination to DEFEAT. The Regional Crown was captured and all their previous opponents vanquished. At the season ' s closing, two relay teams, the medley team, and our quarter-miler Kim Sturgill received places in state competition. Regional Champion, Donna Ewald and teammate Donna Sturgill conquer the arduous mile run with smoothness. 73 Good Season Posted by Matmen With no senior lettermen on the team, what might have been a slow season turned out to yield a most commendable record. Six individual places in regional competition were good for a Runner-up Regional Championship. Paul Martindale was pronounced Regional Champion as well as Steve Weisbrod, who also placed 3rd in the state. The regular season record was 10-2. This success left a promise of even more strength next year, as only one wrestler will have graduated. The grip of an opponent antagonized Hurricane matman Daryl Henry.

In the past, golf was not the most well known sport at school, but his year was different. The team had a tremendously successful season. Not only did they win several invitational tournaments, but they walked off with the District and Regional championships and placed third in the State tournament held at Holston Hills country club. 77 Springing for extra height, Donna Murphy stretches for an overhead return. Females Lob Victories Thirteen female enthusiasts took to the courts in February to begin prac¬ tice for the 1975 season. The girls practiced outdoors when weather permitted and inside when it didn’t, in order to get a little closer to perfection. They made it, even though they played the toughest teams in the district. The team, which had only three seniors, promises to continue the winning ways of our school. And who knows, maybe there lurks another Billie Jean King among us.

Cheerleaders Lend Spirit And Support Spirit. There were many origins for it, but one of the main sources, at least at our school, was the junior varsity cheerleading squad.

Their drills, often choreographed by squad members, consisted of high kick and pom pom routines. The Scarlettes also attend¬ ed camp, sold football programs, and performed in the variety show.

The club was composed of club presidents and organizational heads along with homeroom represen¬ tatives, committee chairman and an executive council elected by the en¬ tire student body. The club worked closely with the faculty and advisors to make student’s thoughts and opinions heard. Committees sponsored by the S.C.A. provided needed services within the school. The Orientation committee met in late August to prepare name tags and signs for the opening day of school. Members of the Handbook committee proposed needed amendments to the council for con¬ sideration. Each year the Charity Drive committee selects a movie to be shown before the student body. This year’s movie was “Two Mules for Sister Sarah . The membership of all the committees is on a volun¬ tary basis by the student body.

Why that little fire extinguisher wouldn’t put out a match! exclaims Paul Hayes as Jr. Red Cross members try to sell him one. Safety Improved by J.R.C.C. The Junior Red Cross Club, though minute in membership, still per¬ formed a service to the school and community. The club, affiliated with the national American Red Cross, attempted to improve safety in and around the school. As a money rais¬ ing project, the club sold small fire extinguishers. 91 Trips, Travel has become a major event in the band’s curriculum.

The weekend of January 31st through February 2nd brought the gathering of high school musicians from all over Region IV to take part in Region band activities. Students earned the right to attend as a result of auditions held at Tazewell High School in December. Each was re¬ quired to play a prepared etude, all major scales, and sight read. The 140 members were divided into two groups. Those with highest audition scores played in the Symphonic band while the others were members of the Concert band. Guest conduc¬ tor for Symphonic was Frank Piersol and for Concert was George Moody. FIRST ROW: Rhoda Blevins, Mary Blevins, Dawn Reed, Leesa Greer.

The gentlemen who made All-state Chorus are Carl Landey and Mark Snider. . . . and Chorus Emory and Henry College was the scene of All-region chorus auditions and approximately 35 of Marion ' s students participated. To audition, each student sang a prepared selec¬ tion. Sixteen students from Marion were chosen to perform. Directed by Dr. James McCraly, the chorus was held at R.B. Worthy High School in Saltville, the weekend of February 21-23. The culmination of the weekend of practice came on Sun¬ day when the concert was given. Two members of the chorus were selected to sing in the All-state Chorus in Fairfax on April 24-26. 95 Students Sing of Christ ' s Life A wide variety of musical selections was performed by the chorus. The group delighted the student body at the Thanksgiving assembly when they presented the rock musical “Godspell,” and entertained us at Christmas with various selections of the season. At Easter we heard the group’s rendition of “Celebrate Life,” a musical drama done in conjunction with the drama department. Singing proudly of Christ ' s resurrection is a very good way to “Celebrate Life.” Chorus students harmonize with emotion as Leesa Greer sings one of the solos in the musical drama, “Celebrate Life.” Last minute rehearsals for Godspell proved worthwhile when assembly time arrived.

Scoops Invade WMEV on Mondays Fearless leader, Tommy Wilson, entertains with a dance during a song. 1 We had a group of which we could be proud in Scholastic Scoops. Headed by Tommy Wilson as the producer-director, the Scoops staff weekly presented a program of general interest for students, faculty, and community. The show was aired at 7:00 P.M. from radio station WMEV. Included in the show were sports stories, items of student government, editorial comments, and features. Nothing could keep this faithful group from working together to br¬ ing to the public the voice of Marion Senior High School. Apparently enjoying his work, Steve Bush happily announces the latest news. 97 Speeches And Dinners The Forensic Club, though small in number, was big on activity. Members of the club successfully competed in local and district foren¬ sic meets. The group performed a skit in the Variety Show and gave food and gifts to the needy at Christ¬ mas. The club held a bake sale to support their efforts. In March, they went to the Olde West Dinner Theater to attend a performance of ZORBA.

Teachers And Colleges The main goal for the Future Teachers of America was to give its members an idea of what teaching is really all about. During the course of the year some of its members gave special lessons to those who needed them and experimented with teaching just enough to see if it was what they wanted. In addition to this, members learned what colleges were best for training teachers and what type of classes they would need to take in college through visitation of the Virginia Tech and Emory and Henry campuses. They did not ig¬ nore the community this year when they collected food and gifts along with the Forensic club to give to two appreciative families at Christmas. Club members, James Hawkins, Connie Smith, and Marie Seward, set off to deliver Christmas packages. Throughout the year, hard working teachers received a teacher of the month award; Karen Adams presents the March award to Mrs. Werth. Future Homemakers Assemble to Feed Bands The Future Homemakers of America was composed of any interested girl enrolled in home-economic courses. These girls participated in such ac¬ tivities as preparing food baskets for needy families, making sandwiches for the district band festival and keeping a scrapbook to be presented in state competition.

That was a big task when you consider having to weed 999 carnations a week! Plant growing takes a light touch and a steady hand: Cindy Hall and Wanda Parks demonstrate. County and Regional Awards Won by Science Club. Members of the Science Club show¬ ed interest and involvement in the world of science. They followed various scientific pursuits individual¬ ly during the year, and in March the Science Fair marked the finalization of the efforts. Students were urged to enter their work to compete with other projects. Carson Holbrook won on several levels; school, coun¬ ty, and regional fairs. His project was given honorable mention by the Virginia Junior Academy of Science.

Down to Earth” The Future Farmers of America is a club that is really “down to earth!” The group learns of agricultural techni ques, animal husbandry, farm machinery repair, farm manage¬ ment, and more.The club performed several services for the school; among them installing the posts for the senior parking lot, preparing trash cans for school use, and cut¬ ting out wooden scholastic letters. Members of the club attended livestock shows with their own show cattle, and some students judged at these competitions. Others repaired farm machinery and did veterinary work for local farms. The culmina¬ tion of the year’s work came on May 25th at the Father-Son Banquet. Club members spend spare time relaxing on the back of a truck. A difference of opinion arose between James Odham and Charles Barker while working in the shop. Cleaning up the shop is one of the many duties performed by FFA members. 103 C E H T E A C M K C M E A H T C E The chess club was a small (less than ten member) organization that existed to promote the game of chess for our students. It achieved this in a variety of ways: it brought in¬ terested players together, it spon¬ sored a club tournament to deter¬ mine ranking of individual players, and it sometimes played other school’s clubs in tournaments. Plans were made for a tournament with Carrol County High School. Concentration is the key to Bill Clay ' s and Craig Sprinkle ' s game. The traditional game for two changes to a team sport.

The club has built an observatory behind Hungry Mother Grocery which was badly hurt in a storm earlier this year. Plans were made to improve the appearance of the observatory and the performance of the telescope. In a joint effort, Mrs. Potter and Mr. Kelly entertain the club with astronomical facts. 105 Club Endeavors To Employ Distributive Education is an organization made up of students enrolled in the course of the same name.

Spirit, enthusiasm, and willingness to make five hundred spirit tags in an hour were the pre-requisites for membership in the Pep Club. The group supported the Hurricane teams by making posters, signs, spirit tags, and mostly, LOTS of noise. Team members were favored at lunchtime with special goodies and reserved tables.

But if you asked any members of the Hurricane staff you undoubtedly received quite a different answer. Room 141 was the meeting place for section editors, writers, business staff, photographers, and an habitually late publisher’s representative. Hours of re-doing layouts and frantic searching for lost pictures were put forth in order to make deadlines and achieve the final goal; a completed yearbook.

Choosing a good picture pattern is an easy task for Lisa Hawks and Mrs. Echols. The Class of 1975 Leaves Its Mark Time, the greatest force in a lifetime, goes ever onward. Never slowing, never stopping, it forces people and thoughts to change. To exist at all is to be a part of this infinite revolution. Each year the school is bombarded with a menagerie of new faces. The faces shed their newness and became the semi-permanent fix¬ tures necessary to the system. Each year they are recycled until they have received the equivalence of four years of learning. Then they are graduated. Their going does not change the process. The school, like a machine, continues to convert freshmen into seniors. When the class of 1975 reached the final year in its development, each student was prepared. They proved their capabilities by selecting an SCA president, homecoming queen, and beauty queen. Everyone could look back on themselves as freshmen with the confidence of the experienced. Though the mechanism had confined them for four years, they had been free to develop as individuals. When the seniors completed the metamorphosis, they stepped from the school into the world. Their part in the endless cycle of the school was completed. They were ready to meet whatever fate held in store.

BLEVINS, GREGORY DANE Science Club 9,- 119 Apparently Lisa Hawks and Dennis Farris enjoyed the contribution the senior class made to this year ' s Variety Show as much as the audience did! Seniors Boogie Back to the 5Q ' s After three years of deliberation, the class of 1975 finally decided to enter a skit in the Variety Show. On the night of the show, a group of teen-agers wear¬ ing bobby socks, tight skirts, slicked back hair, and bright red lipstick could be seen lurking about. Later the dis¬ guised seniors invited the audience to take part in a 50 ' s sockhop. In the mid¬ dle of the twisting and shaking, a John Battle Trojan (alias Tom Wilson) crash¬ ed the party. What the loyal dancers did to him was merely a preview of what our football team did the following night. When the hop came to a close every senior who took part had thoroughly enjoyed himself, even if the audience hadn’t. Donna Blevins v YS Gregory Blevins is rolled up and their bobby socks rolled down, Cindy Burchett, lught, and Shelia Reedy provide music for the seniors to at the Variety Show.

B U-.IA JA inior Journal 8- Helen Daniels Bradley Davidson Douglas Davidson Sandra Dolinger Gloria Edwards Joseph Ellis Ronald Echols At the first assembly this year, Elieth Sanchez seemed to feel pleased and surprised to find herself a member of the senior class at MSHS. Michael Evans Donna Ewald Carol Farrington Dennis Farris James Ferguson 4 Joseph Ferraro Lewis Foreman Eddie Foster Gregg Ferrell i Hola! From Costa Rica Imagine leaving your home, family, and friends for an entire school year. Imagine coming to a strange country where the language, customs, dress, and almost every aspect of life was different. Try to understand the feelings of homesickness, despair, fear, and loneliness resulting from such a change. Even if you can feel all of these sensations, you know only a fraction of what Elieth Sanchez underwent when she became our foreign exchange stu¬ dent. The senior class soon adopted her, and as she learned about America they learned about Costa Rica. New ex¬ periences, new friends, and even a new hairstyle were some of the things Elieth carried with her when she returned home. She left with us the memory of a cheerful girl with courage and brains. As Chairman of the Foreign Exchange Com¬ mittee, Lesa Greer did most of the planning to have an exchange student. 123 No Tips for Senior Servers One way that the seniors contributed to the school was by serving at banquets. On the week of a banquet students were likely to hide if they saw Frank Britton coming their way. It was the horror of having to part with their jeans, not the serving, that they avoided. After the servers were drafted, some unlucky souls were chosen to pour coffee. Each pourer envisioned himself drenching an importan t person with scalding coffee. Luckily, everyone escaped un¬ scathed. Before dessert could be serv¬ ed, the dinner plates had to be remov¬ ed. Once, the tables were so close together that the guests were forced to pass the dirty dishes down the table, assembly-line fashion. After every task was completed, the seniors could leave with the satisfaction of a job well done, and the complacency of being able to tell Frank, ‘‘I served at the last one.” Patricia Greer Phyllis Greer Debra Griffitts Susan Groseclose led upon to set the tables for banquets, and Denise Barton, i Regina Owens don ' t seem to mind at all. Cynthia Gwyn Linda Hall Lesa Greer Rixie Greer Edward Guy Edwin Hagy Kenneth Hankla Cathy Hart l Gary Hart Deborah Haulsee Although it may have been a surprise to Tom Wilson, Senior boys were to help girls serve for banquets.

As the months passed, patience grew shorter. Measuring for caps and gowns helped the class cope with the endless waiting. Soon strains of “Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance” were heard as the band practiced and the Seniors hummed. On June 3rd, amid tears and tassels, the class received their diplomas. On this night thoughts were turned to the promise of the future, leaving memories of school days for later years. Delores Leonard Shirley Long Sue Matthews Measuring Seniors like Joe Ferraro for caps and gowns is one of the many responsibilities Mrs. Echols undertakes. 127 Through Hard Work, Senior Trip Becomes Reality The senior class officers had many responsibilities, beginning with the calendar sales. Later on, a Children’s Variety Show was staged. The show in¬ cluded clowns, lions, magicians, and other circus type entertainment. Besides moneymaking schemes, there were other matters to be decided. The homeroom teachers and presidents, class officers, and sponsors combined to form the Senior Executive Council. These people put in much time and work to keep the senior trip alive. Thanks to their efforts and Mrs. Echols’ support the class was allowed to have their fling. There were countless other jobs that went unknown and unap¬ preciated. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you” to each person who worked to make our senior year a success.

Privileged Characters At Last After 540 days of being put down and taken advantage of, it was a relief for the new seniors to find themselves in power. If it was at all possible, they were determined to get their share of respect. From the front rows in the auditorium to the special senior parking lot, the tingle of the privileges was felt. Every class member enjoyed “Senior Day,” when besides being first in the lunchline, their own special tables were reserved. Most of the favors were inherited, but some of the most precious were fought for. When Mr. Earp announced that the plan for exam exemption had been accepted the seniors made more noise than they had all year. Everyone agreed that each privilege was even more valuable because of the struggle it had taken to become a senior. Cathy Sexton Colleen Sexton Susan Sexton Phyllis Sheets Having their own table in the cafeteria was only one of the special privileges the seniors received on “Senior Day.” )3l Seniors Sponsor Hogstomp The endless search for new fund¬ raising projects is one of the many responsibilities every senior class in¬ herits. This year, with the absence of both Spring Formal and Valentine ' s Dance, the class decided to sponsor a Sadie Hawkins Dance. The shindig, featuring a live bluegrass band, was a real success. During the evening five lucky cakewalk participants won home-baked” cakes. The entire school enjoyed the excitement of a dance; the Seniors enjoyed the satisfaction of more money in the treasury. Patricia Shupe Dan Slemp Randal Smith Marcus Sprinkle Teresa Sheets Connie Smith wkins Dance transformed Greg Lawrence and Donna Ewald from imbers of the Senior Class to card cheatin ' hillbillies. Dianna Stevens Gregory Stack Thomas Strickland Judith Sturgill Richard Taylor Katherine Taylor Lugging bales of hay was one chore Carol Vaught and Vanessa Cox performed in preparation for the Sadie Hawkin ' s Dance.

Debra Walls Cheryl Warren Donnie Weaver Foretaste of The Future Dorothy Weaver Pamela Whisman Olmajean Widener Brenda Williams Buster Williams Larry Williams With the close of the school year, the seniors faced an ending to one part of their lives. The situation was new, and a little frightening. Many found themselves wishing that graduation would never come. Some chose to at¬ tend college after high school. Others had already been trained for jobs at the vocational school. Plans were made, but the only certainty was that the class of 1975 would not be back here together again. Ronda Williams Michael Williams Thomas Wilson Wade Woods Everette Worley Karen Yette By spending one-half of each day at the Smyth County Vocational School, James Dempsey, Darrell Hayden, William Hanshaw, Dennis Sebas¬ tian, and Buster Williams were prepared for jobs after graduation. 135 Upperclassmen at last! They didn’t have all the privileges of the seniors, but they had the edge on half the school. It was a busy year and one filled with many pleasant surprises. They got together a skit for the Variety Show and exerted their spirit by winning numerous pep rallys. September 25th was a “Red Letter Day” because class rings were ordered and December 7th was important too, because they proudly presented their first class play. As April rolled around, the main thought on everyone’s mind was the prom, but on April 26th all that candy selling paid off. It was hectic, but ex¬ citing and as they looked toward 1976, they realiz¬ ed that their high school days were finally numbered. 4 A Juniors display their own special spirit and enthusiasm at a pep rally.

Only one step above the freshmen and not quite experienced enough to own privileges claimed by the upperclassmen, the sophomores didn’t even have a class play, but they weren’t completely unnoticed as they won four of the ten football season pep rallies. They also held intramurals October 15-17 with Mr. Wingfield’s homeroom emerging victorious. The year, although not too eventful for some sophomores, did draw them ever closer to 1977 and their graduation. Athletics wasn’t the only thing discussed at the ballgame by Donna Menzies.

They were quiet and sub¬ dued, but not for long. Certainly the students of the class made themselves heard in pep rallys, and freshman boys, as well as girls, were active on many athletic teams at school. These freshman girls served as guides for College Career Night and Parent Visitation night. Pictured with them is Mrs. Courtney, freshman class sponsor.

Aside from preparing and serving lunches for students and faculty, the cafeteria workers frequently prepared meals for civic club dinners and banquets. The custodians were also called in to help at banquets after finishing the seemingly unsurmountable task of cleaning up messes left by students in the school. They are also respon¬ sible for general repairs in the building and some for the maintenance of the gym. They stay late so people can use the auditorium or classrooms. These people seldom say anything aloud to the student body, but the way they perform their jobs says much for them. ni . 1 1 V Cafeteria Staff—Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Funk, Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Fouse, Mrs. Blevins, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Martin. urst pipes created an unex- r Bob Wymer.

Our school is the proof. But revolution is not unique to our school alone and it’s not always good. Vietnam and Cam¬ bodia are examples of the horror it can br¬ ing upon the people of a nation. High government officials sit at a conference table but cannot resolve their differences and each man goes away hating the others. Each thinks that the other, as well as his country is intolerable, and as a result, a war starts. If only those leaders had to fight they would be more tolerant of each other and not as eager to rush in and overthrow another country in a bloody revolution. The United States tried to help at first. Weapons, money, and men were sent to aid the cause of freedom, but it was too little and too late. We tried to help in different ways. Refugees from the fallen countries were airlifted to this country if they did not wish to remain in their own. We recycled our thoughts and sometimes our lives to make room for those homeless people. In addition, many of the real war victims, the children, were adopted by United States families. War is horrible and it takes a great toll on everyone it comes into contact with. There is, however, more than one definition for every word and it’s the same with revolution. We should recycle our “revolution” and learn to use it for the good of mankind, or we should leave it, along with words like war, out of our vocabulary. 213 Year Filled with Surprises All four seasons were filled with excitement and surprises for us as we met new people and did new things. We saw some old faces recycled, as in Coach Crowder’s clown act and we met some brand new faces like Elieth and Poin. We had special assemblies and lots of picnics in the spr¬ ing. But most of all, we just had fun being together. The Foreign Exchange student known to us as Poin, visited our school in September. Coach Alvin Crowder and his friend displayed their musical abilities in an assembly. A snake dance around the bonfire was a happy conclusion to the variety show The Concord College stage band presents their rendition of In the Mood.” At the old jail on Williamsburg, seniors got their revenge on principal James Earp. Going to ballgames was one of Jimmy Pruner ' s favorite extracurricular activities. 215 As this look at our recycled revolution draws to a close, we see that it wasn’t such a bad year after all. In fact, it was very eventfull for our school, communit y, and na¬ tion as well. We had some trouble adjusting to a new president and a new principal, but nevertheless, we made it without serious consequence. Sometimes we had disagreements with friends and teachers, but these disagreements did not often mar the relationships that we had formed. We learned to move and recycle our thinking with the times. We’ve learned to give ourselves to worthwhile projects and to cope with situations that would once have stopped us. We’ve taken an objective look at our school, our nation, and our world and we believe that our “Recycled Revolution,” the kind that changes things for the better, is the best kind to have.
