HURRICANE MARION SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 848 STAGE STREET MARION, VIRGINIA 24354 VIEWPOINTS EXPRESSED ON JERRY HICKS: “In 1976,1 hope we can rededicate ourselves to the enlightened spirit of our country’s founders. With this spirit, I hope all students and teachers can work to preserve our social values even though much in our school has changed. For the Bicentennial Celebration in whatever form it takes, let’s all work together to admire the strengths of our school, correct its faults, and parti¬ cipate effectively as good citizens.” Our school, community, and country are in the midst of celebrating our nation’s 200th birthday. It is the kind of celebration that one reads about a nd which makes one’s heart swell with pride. During the Bicen¬ tennial, many goals are set, knowledge is reached for and the need to change our present world to some¬ thing for the better is pursued. We, as members of this school community, have many viewpoints on how we believe that our school should become involved in this celebration. Viewpoints from all areas of the school have been selected as representative of the way we feel that we should become involved in the Bicentennial Celebra¬ tion. Dale Tiller Jerry Hicks DALE TILLER: “During the Bicentennial, nearly everyone is reminiscing about our nation’s past 200 years, and although that is an important method of involve¬ ment. We must not only restore the past, but prepare for the future. That job belongs to the students of MSHS as well as to every school in America. Our country, perhaps more than any other, has been entrapped in a swamp of apathy. It is the duty of youth and our students to reawaken the spirit of achievement by becoming involved in government and to act as mechanics, pre¬ paring the wheels of democracy for an even more glorious 200 years to come. Our job of involvement begins now. We must work to clean-up society as well as our parks, heritage, and country-side. We must become involved in pro¬ grams whose main purpose is to better ourselves and the country in which we LOOK WHAT WE FOUND! live. Perhaps most of all we must pray and strive to better ourselves as individu- Alan Franks als; for it is individuals, bonded together, which make a country lasting and bountiful.” 2 BICENTENNIAL INVOLVEMENT Helen Byrd HELEN BYRD: “Individually, everyone needs to do some soul searching and get our perspectives in order. God first, others sec¬ ond, and me last. If it were not for God who gave us everything, others who sacrificed life that I might live in a free country, we would not have anything to celebrate. The school, we need to bring to our attention in an assem¬ bly program the highlights that made our country great. A renew¬ al of our love for Country and Flag, sing together the songs that our ancestors were inspired to write about our great country, AMERICA. Some way, some how we need to get back the feeling of pride for our country and feel the fast heartbeat when OLD GLORY is raised sky ward, so we will want to build up—not tear down.” ALAN FRANKS. “First, it is necessary to place the Bicenten¬ nial in the proper perspective. It has already been over sensa¬ tionalized and over commercialized. We should first adopt the view that the Bicentennial is the celebration of American Inde¬ pendence, spirit, and life. We should hold a view similar to that of the men and women who fought for independence, and we should stand up for reform in our system. We must realize that our government, although the greatest this world has ever known, is not infallible because it is governed by human beings who can make errors. It is our job to help our nation improve for all. In working for this goal, the school should act as the town halls of Revolutionary America. It should try to stir up a patriotic fervor throughout the school, but it should be a pa¬ triotism that will form us into working cogs of the American system. In becoming a part of this system, we should not lose our individuality, because it is this individuality that has made America great. Where would we be if it was not for the indi¬ viduality of such men as Washington, Jefferson, and Madison?” SALLY WERTH: “We can celebrate our country’s Bicentennial with many worthwhile projects. We can decorate the bulletin board, plant a Bicentennial flower garden, fly a 1776 flag, or choose a 1776 Theme for our Homecoming activities. Any of these could be interesting proj¬ ects, and there are many others we could choose. A fitting Bicentennial Celebration for our school would be a recap¬ turing of the spirit of freedom and adventure that is an important part of our heritage and that is offered to us through education; a renewal of the feeling of love for and pride in our school, a feeling our ancestors had because they had to struggle to establish the educational opportuni¬ ties we take for granted; a reappraisal of our sense of responsibility for offering to our country our very best selves, attained through the high¬ est development of our mental, physical, and spiritual capabilities; and a reawakening of our feeling of thanksgiving for the educational rights and privileges we enjoy and of our willingness to assume the responsi¬ bilities that go with these rights and privileges. Thus from MSHS can go a stream of young men and women ready, willing, and able to do their part toward making our world a bet¬ ter world and bringing the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap¬ piness” to all mankind.” Sally Werth Kathy Arason KATHY ARASON: “There are a lot of things that we could do to celebrate the Bicentennial, and many community projects to get involved in. A very good way to celebrate the Bicen¬ tennial is to visit historical landmarks, parks, and build¬ ings in the area or else where. Let’s don’t get the Bicen¬ tennial lost in the constant commercialization. We should try and get in touch with what the Bicentennial really means, and what it took the early settlers to get this country starte d.” 3 Lori Robinson LORI ROBINSON: “I believe we, as people, are privil¬ eged, and whould be proud to be living in a country such as ours. Many people take for granted our freedom and rights and do not realize how lucky we are. Many of our luxuries that seem natural for us, would seem only a dream for others. I think, before we can get involved in the Bicen¬ tennial celebration, we have to be convinced that we have something of real importance. We must always re¬ member that our forefathers stood for what they believ¬ ed in and fought to gain it. Let us as students and people realize our honor so we can get others involved.” Betty Wilson VIEWPOINTS BETTY WILSON: “Marion Senior High School has a most outstanding heritage, which has come to us over many years of serving this community and its youth. Even the name of our school has been handed down to us with a great deal of historical meaning. Therefore, it would seem that a great deal of emphasis should be placed on the best and most meaningful involvement in our Bicentennial Cele¬ bration. Those outstanding records and contributions which our school has made in the past should be studied in each of the areas of school life. We have some r e¬ markable alumnae, perhaps a good project by a committee of students and fac¬ ulty would be to investigate and make public as many of these as possible. However, we must not live in the past but only learn from it. Perhaps this would be the best time to thoroughly evaluate our present position and deter¬ mine our own weak points and try to improve or at least establish new and bet¬ ter goals. This sounds idealistic, but if each department were to concentrate on the areas in which in needs to make changes and between the students and facul¬ ty, in a joint effort, establish both immediate as well as long range plans for con¬ tinuing to build the good reputation which MSHS has established and which has been preserved for us.” Rukiye Yoltar RUKIYE YOLTAR: “On the earth, there are a lot of countries that have very long and rich histories. My country, Turkey, is one of them. During the centuries, many empires were built on Antolia. All these empires had kings and queens and the right of free speech was theirs. Nobody had any right to talk about something that was wrong I admire the United States society because they know how to keep democracy going on. I feel it is really a great success of Ameri¬ can people and their government, and sometimes they can be proud, especially when I look at other countries politically that were democ¬ racies and later became communities. Sharing the United States peoples’ feelings is the most impor¬ tant thing. I wish many, many more happy 200th birthdays.” RICHARD LEON¬ ARD: “I feel our MSHS graduates might best cele¬ brate our Bicenten¬ nial by a special emphasis in all classes, not just history, on our her¬ itage. Anyone can fill several pages on what is wrong with our country, but if our students get nothing else out of twelve years of studying, they should have an ex¬ ult and enthusiasm for: our practically unlimited freedoms, our mode of gov¬ ernment, our system of justice, and our educational systems. These are ours be¬ cause of the fore¬ sight of our ances¬ tors and the tears, trials, and hard work.

During the progression of days, friends are met, projects are com¬ pleted until the year has flown by and summer has arrived once more. The passing days proved fruitful for the rare individuals who were moti¬ vated enough to put themselves into the curriculum, but frequently the days were spent looking forward to lunch and for that final class. The re¬ action of the students towards the classes depended upon attitudes and personal feelings or viewpoints. Student life does not only consist of all the special events; it encompasses the daily life of each student. 7 SUNNY DAYS . . . IT IS HARD to concentrate on summer school when the day is so beautiful. ALONG WITH HIS puppy, Cleve Smith enjoys a warm day at the lake. THE UPKEEP OE the cemetery is one of David Vicars’ summer jobs. AS AN EMPLOYEE of Happy’s Pizza, Mark Comer works hard to earn his money. 8 RUNNING ERRANDS FOR William’s Nursery is one of Clay Ewald’s summer jobs. When summer vacation finally begins, it brings many smiles from the departing students. While this season is a chance to get away from school for almost three months, it is not always all fun and no work. The Scarlettes, cheerleaders, ma¬ jorettes, and the drum major all attended camp. Vacations to places all over the world were not only fun but were also learning experiences. Summer jobs were time-consuming, but what better way to begin preparation for the future. Early practice for the upcoming year brought members of the band, football players, and others away from their regular routines with the hope that this next year would be something special to remember. GET IT ALL TOGETHER STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED the Governor’s School were Edwin Stone and Carl Landy. LEARNING GIRLS STATE REPRESENTATIVES were Merle Rogers, Pam Barker, Shelley Sharpe, Diane Atwood, and Brenda Blevins. LIVING THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED in the King College program were Joyce Tibbs and James Hawkins. NEWLY CHOSEN VARSITY cheerleaders spent time at camp where they earned “superior” ratings. 10 After summer vacation began, the opportunity to learn new things never stopped. Camp for Scarlettes, majorettes, and cheerleaders taught new ideas and opened chances for ad¬ vancement in these activities. New faculty members pre¬ pared for the job of teaching the leaders of the future. The Governor’s School for the Gifted was designed to give quali¬ fied students a chance to excel in an academic, cultural, and social atmosphere with their peers. Girls and Boys State al¬ lowed nine senior boys and girls to learn more about the city, state, and national government through direct partici¬ pation in the workings of the government. King College of¬ fered a study program whereby high school students could see college life as it really is and earn a credit toward their college major at the same time. All of these activities and more were opportunities to learn new things and to learn about living. THE MAJORETTES LEARNED new routines and won many honors at summer camp. NEW MEMBERS OF the faculty were Martha Wright, Donna Boult, Judy Blevins, and Gerald Blankenship. DELEGATES TO BOYS State were Garland Cline, Dale Tiller, Steve Weisbrod, and Mike Taylor. 11 A NEW BEGINNING As the opening of school drew near, may complaints arose. Thoughts of leaving the warm sun and returning to stifling class¬ rooms were not appealing. Yet, nearly everyone returned on time to a newly-painted, clean school. Freshman felt fears of go¬ ing to a new school and of trying to find the right room. Sopho¬ mores and Juniors were proud of the new status they had attained However, Seniors realized that the end of their high school career was near, but what lay ahead of them was unknown. Like all the years before, it was a chaotic day, but everyone lived through it. A LONG LINE is formed in the cafeteria as students await to purchase their tickets. MIXED FEELINGS ARE shown on the faces of these seniors in the opening assembly. 12 BY STUDYING HER handbook, Lori Robinson can find much useful infor¬ mation. LAST-MINUTE SCHEDULE changes are made by Tina Parks and Debbie Farmer. AS PRESIDENT OF the S.C.A., one of Steve Weisbrod’s many duties is to preside over assemblies. 13 STRIVING TO BE WINNERS Football can be a very rewarding sport, improving the body, and bolstering self-discipline. One of the less admirable aspects of football is that it produces multifold injuries. The team fared ex¬ tremely well with few individual injuries. Producing an excellent record with good sportsmanship, our team ended its season with pride and dignity. THE OLD SAYING, “practice makes perfect,” is personified as the foot¬ ball team practices into the evening. STRUTTING DOWN THE field, David Olinger prepares to help the squad defeat its opponent. STEPPING CAREFULLY AND fleeing from an opponent, Mike Crewey runs down the sideline for a touchdown. WITH TOTAL DETERMINATION, Johnny Wilson exhibits a beautiful punt. 14 REACHING FOR THE limit, Melissa McGlothin and Cindy Yeary strike back to back poses. WITH A SUDDEN backward lunge, Julie Parks turns the tables on her Saltville op¬ ponent. FEMALES ATHLETES OVERCOME OPPOSITION Among the most spirited sports organizations at our school this year was the girl’s varsity basketball squad. These girls really showed a desire to play on a top calibre team and worked hard to keep the team that way. On the rebound from last year’s grandiose scoreboard the girls posted a tough 16-5 record. They were also named second in the dis¬ trict contest. TOSSING IT RIGHT in is a cinch for Sally Mauck. 15 AFTER THE SESSIONS, Patton Graham enjoys visit¬ i ng with other classmates. COLLEGE: A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE Twenty-five freshman frantically trying to remember which way room No. 135 was, i cruiters armed with pamplets and catalogues, and students from throughout our distr were all parts of college career night. Unbelievably, amid all the havoc and confusion many important things came about. Juniors and Seniors had serious discussions that were stepping stones in deciding which college would best fit the individual academic and social needs of the students. AS PROSPECTS FOR Greensboro College, Terrance Jones and Steve Copeland listened attentively, as Car men Biggers explained the curricula. DEEP CONCERN IS shown by Paul Martindale as Roger Adams gave firsthand information about the Nav; REPRESENTATIVES FROM VARIOUS colleges prepared informative speeches about their respective colleges. HILE WAITING FOR the rain to subside, tracksters gathered under he shelters. HARRIERS HUSTLE The members of the cross-country team were frequently seen dashing through town by various and asundry routes. The harriers, as they are fondly called, were doing distance runs to increase their endurance and to build muscle tone. Some of these runners were participating to help them in other sports, whereas a few dedicated harriers simply loved to run. The tracksters came through with a great season. ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE outcome of the meet. Coach Neese looks on with interest. ALONG WITH MANY others, Hurricane Harriers take part in a district meet. NEARING THE FINAL lap of a regional meet, Wes Burkett holds the lead. 17 BELLES STEP STYLE One could hear more than ringing of bells as forty-eight chaotic females assembled to com¬ pete in this year’s beauty pageant. Very ap¬ propriately entitled Bicentennial Belles, it was the girl’s contribution to our upcoming celebration with Mrs. Winters and Mrs. Vese- lik managing the accompanying anarchy. On the night of September 19, this usual “be¬ hind the scenes” confusion led to all the smiles and happiness of another successful pageant. AFTER ALL THE excitement is over, an exhaus¬ ting look escapes Karen Willis. OUT IN STAR SPANGLED ONE MORE PRACTICE run is taken by Carolyn Blevins as ushers, Steve Weisbrod and Charlie Richard¬ son lend a helping hand. BEFORE HER DEBUT, Jama Moore adds all the final touches that constitute a beauty. )8 HIGHLIGHTING THE EVENING was the crowning of Brenda Blevins as Miss Marion Senior High School by last year’s queen, Lyn Thompson. FINAL TOUCHES ARE added to the pageant’s backdrop by Mike Taylor and Debbie Archer. PREPARING FOR THE pageant, Pam Wheeler, Mary Blevins, and Gin¬ ger Hall learn the theme song of Bicentennial Belles. FINALISTS FOR THE title were Starr White, Michelle Horton, Brenda Blevins, Renee Price, and Shelley Sharpe. FALL FUSHION Fall brings old friends, new classes, and different teachers tog ether. Fall brings many adjustments, adjustment to a new principal, to a new roster of classes, and coming to school each morning at 8:45. Fall also brings joy at be¬ ing reunited with friends after three months. The teachers have the difficulty of learning a new variety of students’ names, and being able to place names with faces. This was a period of getting to know the teachers as people, for teachers to come to know students personally after having only seen them as presented in permanent records. MANY JUNIORS ARE taken in by the fall testing programs. WITH SKILL, GAY Parks earnestly works with a duplicating machine. LAZY FALL DAYS do not seem to keep Mary Saddler from concentrating on her work. 20 HOT AUTUMN AFTERNOONS make concentration hard for Brenda CLASSES HAVE RESUMED, but Alan Romans believes it is too hot for working. Brooks. A NEW EXPERIENCE for students in business classes is learning to use dictating machines. BLITZING HURRICANES HIGHLIGHT HOMECOMING The highlight of the 1975 football season was Homecoming. The Hurricane Blitz on Thursday night brought many talented acts with Virgil’s Tabernacle Choir adding the crowning touch. Friday night unleashed the Scarlet Hurricanes on the Tazewell Bulldogs in a 14-0 super nova of spirit. In the middle of all that frenzy, Miss Shelley Sharpe was proudly crowned Homecoming Queen. The Hurricane Blitz spirit did not end with the game, as was evidenced on Saturday night when students rocked to the harmony of the Welles Brothers. HOMECOMING QUEEN, SHELLEY Sharpe, and her court: Stan White, Merle Rogers, Amy Gwyn, and Sherri Campbell show that tensions ease after the half-time crowning. 22 JUNIOR MEMBERS OF the Homecoming Court, Sherri Campbell and Amy Gwyn, take advantage of one more practice for Homecoming night. MEMBERS OF THE pep band, Steve Harris and Gary Abel, lead double lives as powder-puff cheerleaders. USING ANY MEANS possible, Mike Crewey contributes to the Homecoming victory over Tazewell. SENIORS CAPTURE THE victory of class yells at the Homecoming pep-rally, as depicted by jubilant stance of David Olinger. COUPLES DANCED TO the music of the Welles Brothers at the Homecoming Dance. 23 BUSINESS I— LU CD SIX NEW MEMBERS of the Beta Club are found perform¬ ing “initiation antics” before a critical audience. ONCE AGAIN THE famous Beta Burglar strikes in the cafeteria as initiation day arrives. A hush fell over the auditorium as the senior members of the Beta Club went out into the auditorium one by one and tapped the new members. After recuperating from the shock of being chosen, the students then had to make the long trip from their seats to get a lighted candle and a precarious trip returning to those same chairs. Soon, after the vows of initiation, Beta members found that they were to dress up as “Beta Burglars”. All in all, this experience will be in the minds of the new members for¬ ever. WHILE LIGHTING HER candle, Susan Jarrett fulfills part of the Beta tapping ceremony. 24 .OSELY GUARDING AN opponent, John Wilson hovers over a player while gar Johnson attempts to steal the ball. Both of our basketball teams played a vital role in the school’s activi¬ ties. Students, and parents alike, enjoyed the excitement involved in the games. Each player showed his own special ability while partici¬ pating in the sport. The boys ended with a successful season, and gave their fans “something to talk about.” DURING TIME OUT, Coach Archer gives the J.V. team some pointers on how to “get out there and win.” SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH THE BALL in possession, Joey Doyle strives to keep it while Don Hanley lends assistance. JUNIORS REVIVE THE ROARING 20 ' s A naive young lady arrives in Europe only to see her lifelong dreams falling apart. Such is the predicament of Lorelei Lee, as portrayed by Leesa Greer. Her plight is not availed much by Dorothy, Anita Sturgill, suggesting all sorts of frivolous escapades. The night of November 22, brought the Class of 77’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” to real¬ ity. The comedy production was directed by Mrs. Ruth Smith. FROM HER VANTAGE point in the auditorium, Mrs. Smith directs the juniors as student director, Becky Wymer, watches with amusement. AT THE MOST opportune moment, Mr. Broussard, portrayed by Larry At¬ well, takes advantage of the chambermaid played by Sherri Blevins, as Broussard Jr., Lester Owens, looks on. WITH SMILING CONFIDENCE, Lorelei Lee, played by Leesa Greer, “chats” on a wireless telephone. IN A FLURRY of excitement, Dorothy Gilbert, portrayed by Anita Stur¬ gill, packs for Paris. CONCENTRATION PLAYS AN important part in creating an effective backdrop as shown by Tim Poston. OLD RIVALS MEET at the deck of the Majestic discussing the topic of the day, “extortionists.” AS THE FINAL touches are added, JoLinda D’Agostino creates the full effect of the “1920’s flapper” style. TO DREAM, TO ACCOMPLISH, TO BE ... . The Bicentennial means many things in people’s hearts. It means a new nation, free men and women, and free institutions. These ideas are central to our Declaration of Independence and the suc¬ cessful American experiment of our spirit. We celebrate them dur¬ ing our Bicentennial year with pride and much satisfaction. But the Declaration of 1776 means even more. It was a promise that new Americans and all the succeeding generations would have the opportunity to do what they could and should do for themselves, to exercise individual ideas and the initiative to build for them¬ selves, their loved ones and their country. Americans have used the opportunity well. They have worked, shared, saved, and invested to secure and assure national and personal well-being. For millions, it has been and still is just plain common sense to make a personal Declaration of Independence through their lives. In doing so, they have relied on their American Heritage-a heritage that listens, advises, and even demonstrates the advantage of personal reliance. America’s personal initiative and self-reliance are very real in 1976 and that’s something to celebrate during our Bicentennial. THE BICENTENNIAL SPIRIT has effected everyone including the elemen¬ tary students as they display this patriotic flag on their school room win¬ dow. WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS the United States, the Bicentennial Wagon Train made a short stop in Marion. SENIORS TAKE PART in the Bicentennial celebration as Laura McCarty’s role is portrayed by carrying a ’76 pocketbook. 28 IS OUR HERITAGE AND OUR DESTINY UNCLE SAM, PLAYED by Dawn Bloodworth, leads the Spanish Ulub’s Bicentennial Assembly. ROLES BEING PLAYED in the Celebration of America’s Birth¬ day Assembly are Paul Revere, portrayed by Cindy Freeman, and the Spirit of ’76 Band. OUJTIQv -A WAVING HIGH IN the breeze is the American Revolution Bicentennial flag given to the school in honor of our nation’s 200th birthday. RAKING THE GROUND, Ricky Daughtery prepares the Spirit of ’76 flower bed. 29 THE SPECIAL EDUCATION class enjoys its Easter party sponsored by Mrs. AT A BASKETBALL game, Jimmy Pruner sports his new spirit hat. Barrett’s speech class. SPECIAL STUDENTS REACH OUT FOR NEW LEARNING EXPERIENCES AT HOME IN room 227, the class diligently works on their written assignments. Learning in a different way from others is the business of the Special Education class. They may not use academics the same as we, but the time spent on learning experiences is a sound substitute. The Special Education students, with Miss Sneed as a devoted in¬ structor, strive to overcome their individual shortcomings. Whatever these may be, they are patiently endured and eventually worked out. Special Education is a vital part of our school, dedicated to giving disadvantaged students a better chance to mature into so¬ ciety. 30 JIVING TO THE rhythm of the pep band, Jimmy Pruner and Dawn Bloodworth get it all together. .VHEN YOU KNOW how to do it, Richard Widner thinks it’s that much :asier. CARRYING BACKDROPS AS a favor for the Pep Club are James Wyatt and Bobby Clark. IT MIGHT APPEAR as if Susan Sneed was having a hard time wrapping her Easter basket. 31 WRESTLING WINNERS DURING THE NERVOUS last few minutes, Lester Owens prepares himself physically and psychologically for another gruelling match. A strenuous sport requiring extreme dedication, wrestling provides a physical and psychological workout. The grapplers put in numerous hours of practice to provide a winning team, which in turn works to produce a winning season. The efforts of the boys proved worthwhile, and the wrestling season was a very exciting one. TAKING A BRIEF somersault, Steve Weisbrod tries for an elus¬ ive “pin.” AS HIS OPPONENT shows expressions of agony, Robert Russell comes up for a “cradle.” STOPPING FOR A brief interim, Robert Hopkins relinquishes his headgear to the referee for repairs. THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE! WHILE INJECTING A humorous note into the talk, Reverand Bill Roland provides the inspir¬ ational message for the Thanksgiving assembly. This was a time of looking inward, then out¬ ward, and reexamining ourselves. Thanksgiv¬ ing is a time to remember that we have been blessed by God, and to give prayers of thanks and love to Him. This love was shown to us by speaker Bill Ro¬ land’s message and in the Bicentennial pro¬ gram presented by the concert choir and mix¬ ed chorus. TAKING A BRIEF respite from their singing, the members of the mixed chorus observe the rest of the assembly. Christmas came so quickly that it caught many peo¬ ple by surprise. Prepara¬ tions for the Christmas Dance, the Christmas Con¬ cert, the Beta Bazaar and the preparations for Christmas itself helped usher the holidays into our school. The Beta Bazaar gave many students a much-needed chance to do some last minute shopping. The Band and Chorus did some long hours of prac¬ ticing to present the stu¬ dent body with some Christmas music. Addi¬ tional music was provided during the holidays at the annual Christmas dance which was sponsored by the Hi-Y’s. The band was called Destiny, and pro¬ vided the students four hours of dancing music. WHILE THOUGHTFULLY MUNCHING a Beta cookie, Liz Grey examines the Beta members handiwork.

LOOKING VERY DISGRUNTLED, Richard O’Dell takes a look at his rather lengthy exam. Every year, after Christmas, a wave of nervousness racks the school as students try frantically to absorb a half a term’s knowledge. This year was no exception; many a tired person was heard moaning over the late hours that symbolized last-minute cramming. A few percep¬ tive students with forsight began studying early and avoided the sud¬ den rush to learn the first semester’s work. Many of the members of the Senior Class were simply relieved that those were the last exams of their final year. Seniors passing the majority of their subjects were exempt from final exams in classes which they maintained an average of 70 or above. STUDYING DILIGENTLY FOR her up-coming exams, Debbie Archer tries to learn the essentials of government. 35 WINTER BRINGS IT INDOORS With the coming of winter, student’s in¬ terests in sports moved indoors. It was only a short while before all the athletics were organized and everyone could parti¬ cipate either as an athlete or fan. To break the monotony of the classroom, one could follow the intense encounters of our wrestlers or sit in on a fast-paced basket¬ ball game. There were also indoor track meets and an energetic girl’s volleyball squad to plea se your fancy. Whether you stayed home and did your homework or came “in” for a wrestling match, the in¬ door sports events happened and were again an asset to their participants. THE CAMERA FREEZES forever Stanley Taylor’s intense struggle to release himself. GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL IS popular in indoor sports as shown by Lyda Yette as she practices her serving technique. WITH NO PLACE else to practice, Gary Hughes makes the best of the downstairs hallway. 36 ASTOUNDING HER TEAMMATES, Sharon Coulthard extends herself for a save. WITH CONFIDENT EASE, Tammy DeBord smoothly sends the ball across the net. DOUBLE-FISTED POWER is part of Pam Rho- ten’s style. Though relatively new on the sports scene, volleyball is growing in popularity. This year twelve girls actively participated on the team. The beginning of the season seemed somewhat disheartening, but by incorporating their grit and determination, coupled with a season of hard work, the squad proved themselves victorious by capturing the Southwest District title. 37 GIRLS ADD NEW “PUNCH” TO THE SPORTS SCENE WINTER FOLLIES Among the follies of winter are the pastimes students popularize around school. Snow¬ balling is a favorite as is sledding on smok¬ ing pit benches. These are inevitable hap¬ penings dreamed up to ward off the bore¬ dom brought on by winter. Of course, they are also hardships on other students. It can be a little precarious dodging snowballs with a load of books or locating a dry seat in the snow. Whatever you desire for fun, one must remember your maturity and not in¬ fringe upon another’s privacy. TWO RESTLESS STUDENTS readily make use of smoking pit benches as they glide down the bank. WITH THE HOPES of “no A FRIENDLY WRESTLING match is always intriguing during a snowstorm, school tomorrow” running through their minds, students await the arrival of their buses. IT SEEMS AS if Craig Brown’s collar is a matter of importance to James Cress. ON THE VERGE of another significant breakthrough is the fifth period advanced Biology staff of Mrs. Potter. DURING CLASS PICTURE taking, Sally Mauck writes a card for a fresh¬ man. STUDYING OUTDOORS HAS its advantages for Joyce Shepherd. 39 TRADES OF LIFE BRING NEW INSIGHTS Whether your trade of life is working on automo¬ biles or expressing your feelings on canvas, the Smyth County Vocational School and the Art De¬ partment can help bring new insights to students. Both can improve and direct your skills to better understanding. Another benefit of these facilities, is that they offer a different kind of classroom; the type where students can learn by doing, not by studying with books only. BLENDING INGREDIENTS TOGETHER, Cathy Clark seems to enjoy the art of cooking. BUILDING A BRICK wall may look easy, but many factors are involved, such as the level checking, as shown by Mike Creasy. FUNCTIONING AS A team of doctors would, Cindy Cressell, Mary Bonham, and Della Anderson examine Becky Waddell’s blood pressure. MANY HOURS OF total commitment help Tim Poston to spill forth his feelings on a piece of canvas. WORKING ALONE AND using simple tools, a student creates a magnificent work of art. USING A HUMAN-LIKE head, Linda Foster practices the talent of cos¬ metology. USING A REAL automobile part, an instructor shows James Gillespie, Larry Tripp, Gary Davis, and David Cassell the basic parts of a transmission. 41 REACTIONS ALL SEEM to be different when problems arise affecting all cast members. SEEMINGLY PLEASED WITH the product of the actors, Mrs. Werth and Mr. Blankenship display a smile of relief. OBSERVING THE CAST, Sue Guynn, as acting student director seems to think something co uld be changed. 42 Weeks of practice and hard, laborious work brought pride to the Senior Class as they presented the dramatic play “Here and Now,” on March 26. The play caused the audience to reexamine themselves, realizing that each person is an indiviual, with feelings and ideas uniquely their own. The Seniors brought to life a thought-rendering play that will be remembered long after they are gone. IN A DESPERATE attempt to express his views, Tony, portrayed SENIOR PLAY TIME transforms Mrs. Wilson from a model English teacher to an excel- by Mike Taylor, is overcome by his emotions. lent cosmotologist. ACTORS SEEM RELUCTANT to do the play “Here and Now” when the director arrives. TAKING THINGS MAYBE a little too serious, Greg Sawyers seems to be in another world. TRACKSTERS TRIUMPH Spring came along this year and so did the time for track. Prac¬ ticing in the halls, track, or streets, the team strived to develop into a number one team. Several of the members who worked very hard placed in state events. These and other members were proud to be a part of the team which took place in the district track meet. RECEIVING THE BATON, Gary Hughes starts out on the right foot USING A SWIMMING stroke, Lydia Yette participates in the long jump, in hopes of set- to project a win. ting a record. THE TRACK MEMBERS are firm believers that the team is number one. READY TO UNWIND is Carolyn Williams as she participates in a track meet. 44 WALKING BACK TO the box, Mike Bridges holds on to his glove, planning another technique. PUTTING HIMSELF INTO the pitch, Joey Doyle practices for another game. BASEBALL: THE ALL AMERICAN WAY Hot weather marked the beginning of baseball season. Hot weather? Well, during the gusty winds and chilly rains, the boys practiced diligently in the gym. As soon as there was a peep of sunshine or even a dry spot on the diamond, the players flocked outside to proceed with their 12-8 season.

THIS LONELY WINDOW sill becomes a restful refuge of meditation for Mary Ann Evans. CAREFULLY ANALYZING THE questions on her test, Sharon Coulthard searches for the correct answers. Because spring fever is synonymous with this time of year, we can sense in our spring aca¬ demic life a feeling of anticipation. Students impatiently awaiting the final bell of the school year might be missing the fun of get¬ ting into action now. But the majority of us who value time are the ones who subdue their spring fever and come to a realization of what is to be done with the year. One course of action might be to make resolu¬ tions for next year, but they generally do not accomplish much in the way of thorough planning. Probably the best base to build for this time of year is an attitude of sincer¬ ity for who you are and what you believe in doing with your year.

MILLION DOLLAR MEMORIES AFTER A VERY exhausting morning touring Washington, the Seniors decide to take a “rest- break” in the dignified Library of Congress. TAKING TIME FROM his busy schedule, Congressman William Wampler gave the Seniors and faculty a detailed tour of Washington. Tired bodies and pleasant memories would best describe the feelings and attitudes the Seniors shared after they returned from their journey north. They left as an excited group on April 25. ready for their “last time” together. Chilly weath¬ er greeted an unprepared class, but even the cold couldn’t chill their spirits. After a week of mem¬ ory-making, they returned home on April 29, a tired but happy crew. Events and places had been planted in their minds and hearts, to be fondly re¬ called in the coming years. STILL CRAZY THE PROM PRODUCED many memories for everyone, one being the romantic dances of the evening.

After weeks of planning and much secrecy, the Juniors presented the Seniors with a very memorable prom. May 15 will long remain in the minds and hearts of Sen¬ iors, as a night to remember. “Still Crazy After All These Years” was devoted es¬ pecially to the Class of ’76. Events of the evening were different for each individ¬ ual, but everyone will agree it was a night above all nights. After the Class of ’76 has forgotten many events of their years at school, “Still Crazy After All These Years” will continue to be a high point of their Senior Year. 53 SENIOR SUCCESS MARKED BY SENIOR CLASS SPONSOR, Mrs. Echols, presents the “I Dare You” award to Dean Mills and Vickie Callahan.

FIRST MALE WINNER of the Betty Crocker award, Dean Mills, carries his token of appreciation to Mrs. Dean a cupcake. 34 It seems as though nearly every student receives some type of award or recognition before the three annual assemblies are over with. Being presented with an award is an honor not to be taken lightly, especially the ones for high level se¬ nior accomplishment. These, including the “I Dare You,” D.A.R., and Armed Services Awards along with the B.P.W., Kiwanis, Lion’s, PILOT’S, and Art League’s are among the most important recognitions made to Seniors. Other signifi¬ cant community contributions include the Brunswick Ath¬ letic and Foundation Scholarships and the Isle Shiff Nurs¬ ing Scholarships. Although much honor is bestowed Seniors, there are also many fine awards presented to underclassmen as well. All these various academic and athletic awards are each year combined to make a memorable experience for both graduating Seniors and rising underclassmen alike. FOR HER ACTIVE membership in the GAA, Sally Mauck, along with the other senior members, is presented her varsity blanket. AWARDS RECIPIENTS OF THE National Merit Commendation award are Dean Mills and Roy Evans.

A CHEER FOR SENIOR YEAR school’s out Minute by minute, the days formed together and we finally realized our year was over. Seniors expressed sadness while others and underclassmen had a tinge of joy. As the last day rolled in Seniors took mini-courses while exams were given to the unfortunate lot of people. Yet we struggled together to get every last detail done, books were returned, cleaning out lockers took place, and the shouts of joy went up as the last day finally arrived, IT WAS OVER!

THE TIMES OF YOUR LIFE A SIGH OF relief escapes Dave Farrell and Phillip Goodman as baccalaureate exercises draw to a close, realizing graduation is approaching. Graduation .... a long awaited goal realized. During the four years at our school this has been the students dream. And now it’s become a reality. It’s a time to be happy and receive the congratulations from family and friends, but it also is a time to shed a few tears as we realize many friends will be left behind, faculty, staff members and students who have cared and shared with you. Scenes like this are repeated each June, as M.S.H.S. continues to fulfill its mission by helping young men and women grow and reach their goals and dreams. All of your friends say they’ll keep in touch. But we know they never do. Teachers say come back and see them. But we know we never will. Maybe someday it won’t matter. But, right now, it hurts just a little. REACHING OUT WITH a forehand swing, Lyn Buchanan enjoys tennis as her mini¬ course selection.

Along with building better bodies, developing self-discipline, and inciting competitive spirit, sports teach people to better accept diffi¬ cult conditions in later life. 62 (There are as many sports in school as there are viewpoints and preferences (towards them. The spectators play an important part in athletics, their at¬ titudes influencing the attitudes and the amount of drive the athletes jishow. Unfortunately, the number of spectators has decreased over the years. Sports are one of the few activities where it is not necessary to be a oarticipant to enjoy the excitement of the action. • I 63 VARSITY FOOTBALLTEAM ONCE AGAIN REGAINS ITS PRIDE The football season opened with an over¬ whelming victory over Chilhowie, our most heated rival. The Hurricanes contin¬ ued their long awaited winning streak with only one upset, that being Gate City. This defeat didn’t mar the team spirit, but instead, boosted them onward to a 8-1-1 record. Seniors David Olinger and John Wilson and Junior Mike Crewey were honored by their election to All- Southwest District football squad.

V. Football Team came through with an undefeated season. Start¬ ing off the season with a bang, the boys tied in their game with Chilhowie, the final score being zero to zero. The boy’s hard work soon paid off with a yield of six wins, giving them a per¬ fect season. The record of this year guarantees a better varsity squad in the coming years, and also promises that this hitherto renownless team will receive more publicity in the following years.

The boy’s final record was 20-5 and the team advanced to place second in the district and third in the regional tournaments, where John¬ ny Wilson and Don Hanley were elected to the All Tournament Team.

The harriers also captured both the Southwest District and Region IV crowns, and finished sixth in the State AA meet. They compiled an overall season record of 38-2. Members select ed to the All-Southwest District Team were Jimmy Yonts, Steve Hetherington, Lee Sanders, Terrence Jones, Rick Rector, and Fred Yonts. Four members were chosen for the All-Region IV team, which included Jimmy Yonts, Steve Hether¬ ington, Lee Sanders, and Terrence Jones. Leadership provided by team captain Jim Light and Coach Brockman was a major factor in the success of the team, and brought them “to the top.” Yonts strides the course in the Scarlet Hurricane Invitational.

COACH LARRY SAYERS: “I think the key to our suc¬ cess was teamwork. Each member was willing to do his share. We failed to win Dis¬ trict, but we proved ourselves in Regionals. I felt it was a privilege to take these mem¬ bers to compete for the State title, and after many hours of rough competition, we placed third. I am very proud of the team, and they should be con¬ gratulated for their efforts.” THE ROUGH PROVES to be a great ob¬ stacle for Cal Jones as he struggles to re¬ trieve his ball. Winners TEAM ENCOUNTERS CROSSING HOME PLATE, Joe Harper scores another run. CHALLENGING SEASON THE TEAM MEMBERS contemplate the game strategy as they await their turn to bat. Looking forward to a successful year, the team began practice for the com ing baseball season. However, as the season progressed, they found them¬ selves facing very rough competition. The team struggled for many close victories, only to be burdened with numerous defeats throughout the sea¬ son. Despite these losses, they worked hard to make the season a success. Because of their hard work and determination, they posted a final sea¬ sonal record of 12-8, and can still be appropriately labeled as WINNERS.

Many hours of monotonous work were put into practice and sometimes, they cheered five times in one week. The chant, “Yes, We Can,” responded through the halls as they led the student body to cheer the teams to victory.

CHEERLEADERS BRIGHTEN SPORTS YEAR The main source of pep at our Junior Varsity sports events was pro¬ vided by the spirited Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. They supported the teams on to many victories, but suffered few defeats along the way. The squad joined with the Varsity Cheerleaders during pep rallies, and performed in the Homecoming Variety Show. THE HEAD CHEERLEADER Julie Blackwell leads the squad and tans DURING A TIME out, the cheerleaders lead the fans in a chant. j n t h e c heer, “Hurricane Power.” In the spring of the previous year, several members of each class were selected to compose the Scarlette squad based on their skill in both individual and group performance. The squad began a practice schedule early in the summer and contin¬ ued through February. They performed drill routines at the Homecoming football game and variety show, and during halftime of the home basketball games. These routines were choreographed by individual members of the squad. Various fund raising activities were carried on through¬ out the year to earn money for uniforms and other expenses.

INVOLVEMENT Clubs are generally defined as organizations designated to help the com¬ munity, the school, or to help broaden horizens. Several of the clubs have gone a long way toward attaining their goals of being very active in the school and in the community. There are many viewpoints toward the clubs. Some students anxiously await their club meeting, whereas some attend only to get out of class. Still other students would simply rather attend classes. The decision is that of the individual. Clubs are not the sole responsibility of the sponsor; each club consists of the members. Active members form active clubs. 85 SETTING THE MOOD Throughout the year, a group of forty people often appeared during concerts and assemblies wearing tuxedos and formal gowns. The uniform dress and splendid singing was that of the Con¬ cert Choir. They were often seen working very hard around Christmas time as they gave a num¬ ber of concerts. Infinite hours of work blended together to pro¬ duce the faintly melodical sounds that were heard issuing forth from the band room fourth period every day. There were seventy-four voices contributing to the extremely versatile chorus. They presented music for the Thanks¬ giving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies, not to mention their contributions to the Spring Concert. The chorus also boosted two members who were elected to represent them in Pulaski for the All-Regional Choir. Each member was selected by audition in the Spring of 1975. Eighteen members were chosen to represent the choir at All-Regional perfor¬ mance at Pulaski. ACCOMPANYING THE CONCERT chorus, Carl Landey adds special effects.

Sponsored by Miss Sneed. AS CLUB SPONSOR, Miss Sneed happily counts the money taken in from a sock hop. To uphold school spirit is a difficult load to carry, but the membe ' rs of the Pep Club proved that they were ready and willing to meet this goal. Signs and posters to fire up athletes and their fans brought on excite¬ ment over up-coming games. Through their influence, the Pep Club made sports events seem more exciting and spirited.

For the most part they have accepted their various duties and tasks, in¬ dividually and collectively, with pride in their efforts to maintain a smooth running, educationally worthwhile and recreationally at¬ tractive media center. Though few in number this school would miss its Library Club—personally, effect¬ ively, FINANCIALLY, and total¬ ly.

FBLA MEMBERS MAKE possible a tour of the business department for under classmen. The Marion Chapter of the FBLA contributed and participated in many worthwhile activities. The club started off by serving refreshments at the annual Smyth County Business Teachers Organizational Meeting. They sought to promote business edu¬ cation by holding an Open House. A family was sponsored for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. During FBLA Week, “Fid¬ dle Sticks” (water color pens) were purchased for faculty, ad¬ ministrative staff, and secretarial staff to “fiddle” around with. A yard sale was held with the idea of raising money for operat¬ ing expenses. A select few members contributed to the “Home coming” variety show with a skit entitled “The Twelve Years of School.” In March, eight awards were won at the Radford Regional meeting.

CLUB LENDS A HELPING HAND. The responsibility for changing the sign on the Piggly Wiggly parking lot and announcing the activities going on at the various schools belongs to the Industrial Arts Club. They devoted a lot of their time to making benches for the S.C.A. to be placed in the smoking pit. Also they were very active in setting up props for assemblies and programs.

THROUGHOUT SCHOOL Reaching out for more knowledge and discovering new formulas and theories, the Math Club explored all phases of mathematics and learned about the great careers in this field of study. The group kept pace with the rest of the world by promoting the Metric System through¬ out the school with use of posters and bulletin boards in the hallways. To ex¬ pand their kno wledge, the members vis¬ ited Virginia Tech to observe their com- putor laboratory operation, tour the cam¬ pus, and involve themselves in programs planned by the University Math Depart¬ ment. Math Club achievement tests are given every year to members of this group PEACEFULLY WATCHING THE speaker, Barbara Hes¬ ter awaits the moment of resolution for the math prob¬ lem. for recognition of their achievements in the different math courses. To make money and meet expenses, the club sold liberty bell windchimes to show their bi¬ centennial spirit. ; ll % ' � ; EARNING WHILE LEARNING Teaching students about business in our area is the purpose of the Distribu¬ tive Education program. It combines classroom instruction and activities which prepare the students for jobs and helps its members to find and en¬ gage in satisfying, worthwhile work. As they gain knowledge, they also earn money for their efforts. Activities included a D. E. contest at Southwest Virginia Community College and a Fall rally at Abingdon.

Among these were a Mexican dinner at Don Juan’s and an outing to a college Spanish class. Members also baked for money (Spanish for money is dinero). NEW CLUBS SPARK NEW INTERESTS The Photography Club stimulated an in¬ terest for creative photography and pho¬ tographic technique. For a newly formed group, the club enjoyed a fairly good sized array of photographic interest. Mr. O’Neal was persuaded to demonstrate darkroom techniques and the members attempted a schoolwide photography contest aimed at sampling student talent in the field.

PROGRAM PROMOTES BETTER RELATIONS WATCHING HIS FELLOW Scoop members, Jay Overbey anxiously awaits his turn to announce. Our school was one of few schools within the state of Virginia that had a thirty minute radio program solely edited and produced by the students. Scholastic Scoops was aired weekly from 6:45 to 7:15 on Monday evenings over radio station WMEV. They informed the surrounding area of the scholastic and extra-curricular activities of the school. The motive of Scoops was to promote better relations around the high school, the community, and other schools; to en¬ courage participation in school events, and to promote high scholas¬ tic and moral standards.

Putting out a complete newspaper required not only school hours but more importantly, time at Smyth County News Office. The responsible staff worked together to prepare the publica¬ tion of the school newspaper to keep interested students informed about current school events. s AS MOST OF the work is done at the news office, staff members often find time to chat.

PUTTING TOGETHER THE yearbook is a time consuming and tiresome job, as shown here by James Hawkins and Joe Hash. Remembering a year in words and pictures is easy—if you’re not a Hurricane staff member. These people swiftly lose their minds in a chaotic rush to meet deadlines for finished mater¬ ial. During the summer, fourth period, and occassionally after hours, the staff works to sort a mass conglomeration of lay¬ outs, pictures, and copy. Despite the hardships for staff mem¬ bers, the reality of everyone working together can produce a book that will stand out in students’ minds for years to come.

Behind each face there lurks an individual. I Each individual may have varying viewpoints that have no logical connec [|l tion, but this is part of our freedom to be ourselves. Although the differ [|| ent faces mask individuals, the years spent in high school have a way of I forming close bonds, possibly to help retain composure throughout the It is difficult to believe that after 12 years together sharing heartaches and triumphs the class of ’7b is moving in separate di¬ rections. Individual students will now have to lace those major decisions alone. Al¬ though most students have decided upon a career, for many the future is still un¬ decided. Looking back, we remember all our youthful days, and wonder that time could have passed so quickly. But no matter how fond the memories and how reluctant we are to relinquish our school days, we must readily accept what the future brings. This stage of our lives is a “dawning of awareness.” The officers for the class of ’76 were. President Patton Graham; Vice-President James McNeil; Secretary-Donna M phy; Treasurer-Mary Lowe; HistoriarB Joyce Tibbs.

They visited such places as Smyth County Community Hospital, Pepsi Cola, Harwood, American Furniture, and many more. For many it was a turning point. For others, merely a chance to learn and observe the com¬ munity around them. However, for all. it was an experience that started their plans for the future, plans that will re¬ main a part of their life, forever. Gwyn Combs Stephen Copeland Robert Coulthard Deborah Cox Maria Cox THIRST ALMOST OVERCOMES the Seniors who visit the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company Michael Creasy Tamara Cregger NEW PLACES AND Many students were pleased at the ar¬ rival of foreign exchange student, Ruki- ye Yoltar. Adjusting to a new home was difficult at first, but she soon became a familiar face at many of the activities. Rukiye saw her first snow while she was here and also attempted to try her luck at snurffing. Unfortunately, it resulted in a tragic ending, a broken arm. Rukiye was made an honorary member of the Beta Club and SC A. She also chose to become a member of the Pep Club and Gamma Delta. Many American activities and sports inter¬ ested Rukiye. but she chose basket¬ ball as her favorite. Much sadness came to the Seniors when she left, but they will always remember her kind ways and warm heart.

It gives the class as a whole the chance to use their imagination for the worthwhile activities. Not quite rated as Barnum and Bailey, on Saturday, De¬ cember 15, the Senior Class converted their idea of a circus into what was called the Fall Carnival. It might not have brought fame and fortune, but it brought joy and laughter. The Fall Car¬ nival was only one of several projects the seniors attempted. Other projects were the candy sales, with the leading sellers being Mike Taylor, Jama Moore, Gary Abel and George Walker. Sandra Huffman Mary Hunter Patrick Jackson Stuart Hutton BEHIND THE SCEiNES at the Fall Carnival, James McNeil and Gary Abel prove that the life clown is not always joyous. Kenneth Jarvis Larry Jennings of a Horne Economics isn’t necessarily for girls, as you may think. This year many senior boys tried their hand in the homemaking field. If the boys were not successful in making the food, they were, at least, successful in eating it. Home Economics V is a special class for Senior girls and boys and is a combinat¬ ion of lessons in cooking, sewing, pre¬ serving foods, home management, and many other things. Each year a test is given to determine the winner of the Betty Crocker award. This year the award went to Dean Mills, a senior boy enrolled in Home Economics V.

Precollege tests and decisions on such things as voting in elections bring challenges to many seniors. The challenges will determine their route in life for many years to come. It is very important to meet challenges as they arise, and graduation is a good start. But challenge does not end with graduation, it is only the be¬ ginning. A new life awaits each Senior and challenge is a part of it.

Football season and pep rallies bring a lot of pep to the students no matter what their rank. But as this year opened, the Seniors seemed to have a bit more spirit, and they ranked first in the total number of wins in Class Yells. But football sea son and pep rallies were not the only things that brought spir it and pep. Many students were enthused with just the thought of being a Senior and awaiting graduation; of looking forward to and making new plans for the future. They took pride with their accomplishments and finished the year with well earned dignity and respect. Spirit was great at the beginning of the year, but it was fabulous at the end!

A new school year and a new status greet¬ ed the Juniors. They were no longer in the lower half of the scho ol, but they were making their way to the top. The class officers for the year were: Sherry Campbell. President; Sherri Blevins, Vice- President; Janice Mercer. Secretary; Don¬ na Sturgill, Treasurer; and Becky Wymer, Reporter. One of the first projects tackled was selling candy to raise money for the prom. College Career Night and PSAT tests were reminders of the fact that col¬ lege was not far in the future. Approxi¬ mately thirty Juniors “climbed” their way into the Beta Club as Beta Burglars to the delight of onlookers. The class play was the result of hard workers on the behind the scenes. Rings arrived at an op¬ portune time for most, just in time for Thanksgiving. It was a special year in the view of most Juniors and visions of an exciting Senior year were soon to become a reality.

Not quite old enough or experienced, they showed signs of leadership and growth. During many pep rallies, the spirit stick was stolen away from the boastful upperclassmen by many spirited Sophomores. Al¬ so, during Open House, girls from the class served as guides and directed concerned parents to the teenager ' s classrooms. Many class members partici¬ pated in various clubs, sports, and other organiza¬ tions throughout the year. As one could see, lead¬ ership had grown since the opening of school. No longer were they the “youngsters” of the student body, but inch by inch, the Class of ’78 was dis¬ covering their real identity. For class officers they elected; Beverly Hall Presi¬ dent; Curtis Barrett—Vice President; Denise D ' Agostino - Secretary; Kitty Sturgill—Treasurer; and Judy Fenyk—Reporter.

Although the largest of this year’s classes, it fell short of the volume needed for a hands down victory at pep rallies. However, that elusive spirit stick was not an obstacle in the Freshmen ' s struggle for their place at school. It was a great year for them to be active in band, athletics, club organizations, and academics. Leaders in the rowdy and rather rambunctious class of ’79 were President-Lori Robinson; Vice-President—Marjie Gwyn; Treasurer—Becky Grindstead; Secretary—Beverly Grin- stead; and Reporter Alana Landey. vr it - ■ TOTAL PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION is a by product of Band Camp for Mark Spencer.

Although they are hardly ever heard or seen, except at lunch time or after school, these people perform their duty to the highest esteem. Without their constant effort to make this school clean and livable for seven hours a day, we would be deprived of an education that is essential to our future lives. CAFETERIA MANAGER, MRS. Clawson, counts the weekly lunch ticket money. PREPARING ANOTHER DELICIOUS meal are Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Powers CUSTODIAN, BOB WYMER, fixes a dish washer that was in need of repair. MAKING LUNCH FOR the student body is a time consuming task as shown by Mrs. Banton and Mrs. Martin. NOTICEABLE JOBS MUCH TIME AND hard work are spent by Mr. Pennington, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Eller in keeping our school clean. PICKING UP TRASH around the school is only one of Mr. Pen¬ nington’s commendable jobs as a custodian. AFTER THE STUDENTS have returned to their classes. Mrs. Powell. Mrs. Funk, and Mrs. Blevins begin the exasperating task of washing dishes. 167 STUDENTS APPRECIATE TEACHERS Many times teachers thought their efforts went unnoticed,but some¬ where in the corners of their students’ minds, their acts were recog¬ nized. Students did not always openly reveal their appreciation for teachers, but the feeling was there. There was a great sense of appre¬ ciation felt for those teachers who spent time helping students out¬ side of school or classroom. Students recognized teachers who went out of their way to aid in solving a problem, whether it was class re¬ lated or of a personal nature. ■ ■- SERVING REFRESHMENTS AT the dances was only one of the many duties for the teachers as shown here by Miss Young. PUTTING THEIR HEADS together, Mrs. Pennington and Mark Snider work the problem out.

And isn ' t that the kind of place where you want to start building a career? AmerIcan of Martinsville 175 Whatever you are...or want to be. Do you already have a field of interest? Or are you looking for something new? Something especially you? The Army Reserve offers 100 different career areas! OUR TRAINING IS HELPING THE COMMUNITY, TOO. Many of the jobs we teach in the Army Reserve are often put to use ir community projects. That’s part of our job, too. And it’s a tradition. THE ARMY RESERVE. FART OF WHAT YOU EARN IS PRIDE. An important career: The Army Reserve is made up of 260,000 men and women in units all over the country. They belong to units based in their home tpwns where they attend training assemblies or meetings, usually one weekend per month. They also attend two weeks annual training each year. Usually during the summer. These men and women serve as an important backup to our national defense. By serving in the Armv Reserve they are helping their community and their country. And helping themselves, too. Job training: The job training available to a Reservist could start you on a civilian career that could last a lifetime. Auto repair, computer programming, construc¬ tion trades, medical skills, clerical and admin¬ istrative work—you name it and the Army Reserve has it. Or something close to it, in the list of hundreds of job-training courses. Of course, not every unit can offer you every job. The openings available depend on the kind of unit and the skill requirements that they have in your community, or those nearby. You’ll find that there are many career training courses for men and women to pick from. Arid there’s a very good chance that the job you’re interested in is open right now. Your local Army Reserve Center can tell you what’s available and help you to pick out the career training that’s best for you. Sometime after you join, you’ll go on active duty. First, you’ll do eight weeks of basic training. After that, you’ll attend the Army Career school of your choice. The amount of time you spend at school depends, as you might expect, on the kind of career training you’ve enlisted for. For instance, an automotive mechanics class is eight weeks, while the electronic instrument repair class is 26 weeks. But even with the longest course, you’ll still be home again in just a few months. With a skill that you can use in a civilian career. What to do. Where to go. Your nearest Army Reserve Center is the place to learn all about the Army Reserve. There, an interested, trained Reservist will help you evaluate your experience, capabilities and qualifications. You can apply rig;ht there. _ w THE ARMY RESERVE. IT PAYS TO b GO TO MEETINGS. 760TH ENGINEER CO .? Marion, Virginia Ses Tel-783-7470 176 Seniors Harwood Companies, Inc.

Having this special quality makes this school an extra¬ ordinary one. Their ideas employ many new techniques and life¬ styles which together build a unique bond between everyone. Showing these principles of variety prevailed as different students participated in different curricular activities. Some students worked long hours while others took time out for leisure and just having a “good old time.” BEING A PART of the Senior Class requires doing outside cur¬ ricular activities as shown by Steve Bush. HOUSP STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN many activities including intramural volleyball on days when certain classes have special meetings. SPECIAL TALENTS ARE brought out in such classes as art, as Pat Jennings shows his talent here. 212 MEMORIZING DOES NOT always help when taking a test as Rick O’Dell ponders over that one question he can’t remember. SPRING FEVER STRIKES again as this couple is spotted walking outside in the warm sunshine. WARM WEATHER BRINGS an urgency for “the great outdoors” to the students. PREPARING FOR THEIR future in science. Robbie Coult- hard, Raymond Dancy, and Roy Evans explore the world of Biology. . . . Students began to be confronted with what w ' ould their future hold in store for them. Did they gain anything in these four years of high school or was their minds abstracted to something else? These are questions which each and every student must face and ask themselves as it comes time to. Whether being involved or being ap¬ athetic is something only students can come to a conclusion about, but no matter what it may be, these are the different views and mat¬ ters of opinions each student holds. A B S T R A C T E D S T A T E O F M I N D THE STUDENTS ALSO have a chance to explore into their outside inter¬ ests as Steve Knipp reads his favorite magazine in the school’s library. 213 VIEWPOINTS: ON THE GO! No matter what person, place, or thing, viewpoints were many and varied. Each member of our school commun¬ ity participated activily whether it be baking a cake, dodging a camera, cleaning up the stadium, or just sim¬ ply being yourself. We smiled and suffered, were victor¬ ious or defeaten, but yet each person was a successful individual always ready to meet a challenge or express his point of view.
