1977 HURRICANE Maricn Senicr Hiah Schccl §48 Stage Street Marten , Virginia 24354 Volume 42 Putting the Pieces Together What is a school composed of? Does it only comprise the usual classes of reading, writing, and arithmetic? If that is the belief, it is very wrong. So many places, people, and ideas combine to produce a successful school system. There is not only one building which is attended. In addition, there are the gym, vocational school, shop, and greenhouse. These locations are impor- tant to the total school scene. There are different sections of the main building which appeal to different people. The library, cafeteria, auditorium, student lounge, classrooms, and even bath- rooms are essential parts of the whole. Together all parts of the school work together to provide an atmosphere which is beneficial to the students and teachers who are enveloped into the school. Now an effort will be made to “put the pieces together.” THE GYM WAS available for the development of athletic skills and physical education classes. Julie Snyder is ready for the volleyball game. THE SCENE OF assemblies, club and class meetings, pep rallies, and more was the auditorium. The seniors enjoy occupying the front seats. ONE OF THE favorite places of all who attend is the vocational FUTURE SKILLS ARE obtained at the shop in such fields as mechanical drawing and car- “ «° 1 - L Sa d y , Ha y cs Surber u « hcr cosmetological skills, which sentry.

I |i L wtsSM k ' - ' snr m rt THE SMOKING PIT, although no longer used for smoking, is a gathering place for many students. After lunch, students sit outside while waiting for the bell to ring. A Better System In the halls, in the classrooms, and all around the school individuals work together to produce the best school possible. Through athletic endeavors, scholastic achievement, club participa- tion, school spirit, and leadership these individuals leave important marks which will remain hidden in the walls. Most of the separate beings found that certain parts of the school became more prominent in their high school days. Whether different classes or buildings or gathering places, there was a variety of faces seen in the places. Without a choice, the school would not be a s uc- cess. It is a choice which is evidence of a free American system which strives for better education for its citizens. rHE HALLS WERE hardly ever empty during school hours for this was the sight of much hustle and bustle. Mark Boehn makes his way to class through the crowded hallway. CHANGING CLOTHES AND exchanging gossip are big items in the locker rooms. Robin Kalber reaches into his locker before gym class. FOR THE DISPLAY of talent and for special assemblies, the stage was readily available. Philip Haga and Kathy Lundy perform in the Junior Play. ALTHOUGH THE CAFETERIA is not always given the best compliments, it is still a place to eat with friends, to meet in the morning, or for study hall. . M ' ll THE GROWTH OF knowledge is centered main- ly in the classrooms. Leigh Ann Copeland works on an assignment in class. WHEN A TEACHER is not to be found, he is probably in the teacher’s lounge. Mr. DeBord enjoys a Moun- tain Dew between classes in the lounge. Today Count Make Someday there may be an automated school where machines will take over. If so, much of the warmth and human- ity of school may be lost. Someday there may be schools which contain all the modern conveniences. Then much will be taken for granted and a desire to work for better things will be stifled. Someday there may be schools which must serve thousands of students. If this happens, there will not be enough facilities or teachers to make educa- tion worthwhile. With all the “some- days” there comes the realization that this school is one which has many bene- fits. In later years this may become evident. Now it is too much taken for granted. Think a little and be thankful for the fine school, with its many facil- ities and individuals, which has served in an effort to educate those who have the opportunity to attend.

Putting together the perfect picture of the year involves p utting forth extra effort. Involvement in extra-curricular activities and classroom scenes were both important. The pieces did not just fit into place by themselves; the students had to put the picture together. STUDENTS INTERESTED IN learning a new subject attended summer school. SEIOWING THE TOOLS of his profession, Joey McFarlane smiles proudly. AS ONE MORE bag of popcorn gets filled, Edward Thomas does not long for school to start. 10 Sumirxr Follow the Sun ►“ ■ ■ pv UNDER THE HOT blazing sun. Marion’s “Big Red Machine” practices for seemingly endless hours. THE GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN Cloggers entertain nearly 12,000 people during the 3rd Annual Hungry Mother Arts and Crafts Festival. “I spend hours lying in the sun and never get a tan. I’m so pale that I could pass for a ghost in a haunted house! “If 1 have to run one more ‘Death Valley ' today. 1 think I ' ll just quit and leave this to the track studs!” “Pinwheel eight counts, forward four counts, mark time four counts and then I can stop. I can ' t wait! I get so sick of hand camp that I often wonder why I do this.” Endless summer hours were spent by students in various ways. Some enjoyed the sheer luxury of bask- ing in the sun trying desperately to get a tan. while- others worked diligently to earn money toward col- lege. a car. or some other goal. Others spent long hours under the blazing sun learning marching routines or practicing for the upcoming football sea- son. Students interested in learning a new subject at- tended summer school. Breaking the monotony of the summer routine were Marion’s Bicentennial celebra- tion and the Hungry Mother Arts and Crafts Festival. So, summer was a time for fun in the sun. work, and pure enjoy ment of leisure time. Summer Stuff What a way to spend summer vacation — learning how the state government works, earning college credit before becoming a senior, or participating in a summer camp. Most people think of summer as a time for re- laxing and having fun doing nothing, but for some it provided a time for unique learning experiences. For the attendants of Girls’ and Boys’ State, summer provided a chance to learn how the state government works on a day to day basis. For Alan Franks, summer meant earning college credit toward a college major through the King College Program. Students attending King College were given the opportunity to live on campus and gain insights into college life as it really is. The Governor ' s School For the Gifted was established five years ago for the purpose of giving 450 gifted stu- dents (from high schools in Virginia) more creative learning experiences with their peers in academic and artistic fields. Another summer activity pursued by many was the participation in summer camps. Scarletts, Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and the Flag Corp became involved in training programs on various college cam- puses. So, who says that summer has to be spent doing nothing? ATTEN DA NTS OF BOYS’ State were Jeff Waddell, Dwight Rhodes, Don Ftanley, Mark Coe, and Joey Doyle. PARTICIPATING IN THE 1976 Governor’s School was Robert Thompson. THE SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE in the King College Program was Alan Franks. THE DELEGATES TO Girls’ State were JoLinda D ' Agos- tino, Mary Wright, Diane Wilson, Susan Jarrett, Anita Sturgill, and Donna Sturgill.

JOINING THE STUDENT body from Dublin. Ireland, is the foreign exchange student Sharon Parker. Cack to Work “Hey, which way to the cafeteria?” “Is this how I get to Room 218? “Help, I’ve been directed to the janitor’s closet! The new freshman class eventually found its way around the halls of a new environment with the help of a few upperclassmen and guides. The opening day assembly was a little chaotic as students dis- cussed their summer adve ntures and plans for the new year. Once again, as old friends met with one another in the halls, the ever present dread of schoolwork was prominent. The long lunch lines and crowded halls proved without a doubt that a fresh year had begun. Although many students had their regrets about once again putting their nose to the grindstone, the day turned out to be an exciting one with many students having high hopes that the doors had opened to a special year. GUIDE FOR THE day, Patty Morrell directs an un- knowing freshman to his class. Cclleees and Careers What a funny feeling it is to get lost in your own school! That is what happened on September 22nd to many students as they searched for the ap- propriate area of interest. Representatives gave speeches to make their branch of service, their col- lege, or their business seem more inviting. It was a night that proved helpful to many of those at- tending as they asked and pondered questions concerning their future. “Should I go to a four-year college or a two- year college?” “Should I go into the Army, the Navy, or the Air Force?” The decision is a difficult but rewarding one and College Career Night was one way of bringing it closer to reality. ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES ARE discussed by Donna Accettull from the University of Virginia. MEMBERS OF TFIE freshman class serve as guides for College Career Night. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE U.S. Army tell Barbara Hester that a career in the Army is not just for guys. COLLEGE CAREER NIGHT provides an interesting look into the future possibilities for Tommy Blevins, Ronnie Gillespie, Robin Kalber, and Joey Emerson. ' W rf r WJ. 14 College t :t Night A BETTER BETA batter is made by Robert Thompson, Carol Conner, and Bunny May. A LOOK OF shock appears on Lisa Scott’s and Vicki Shew’s face as they learn that someone ' s candid camera has caught them. AS SHE LEARNS what she must do. Bunny May seems in shock. NOT BELIEVING WHAT she is doing. Lisa Scott runs around the cafeteria not once but three times. Beta Bakers The candles flickered peacefully as the senior Beta Club members began their quest for eligible juniors to tap. The task became a little confusing at times while trying to find the right person, but the assembly progressed without too many incidents. As usual, the newly tapped members faced the day of their initiation with some apprehension and some excitement. The phrase “Beta Bakers bought a bit of butter but the butter the Beta Bakers bought was bitter became familiar to the juniors as they recited it for the privilege of having senior members autograph their signs. Of course, nothing other than the chance to be a member of the Beta Club compelled them to stir the imaginary batter while running around the cafeteria or standing on a table saying those special words. For all involved it was a day not to be forgotten, but the prospect of getting the new members next year” gave some consolation to the flustered Beta Bakers. A LOOK OF indignation shows on Joyce Shepherd ' s face as she stands on the table in the cafeteria. Bel j I nilu A Crowning Success “How does my hair look?” “Is my make-up okay?” “Oh! It ' s almost eight o ' clock. I think I’m going to faint!” These were only a few of the remarks heard behind stage that Saturday night, September 18. Forty-six girls were representing all the clubs, classes, and organizations of the school. Through all the nervousness and excitement, the contestants were calmed enough to practice the theme song, “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” with the aid of Mrs. Wilhite. Unlike previous years, there were eight finalists instead of five from which the queen and her court were chosen. With the help of Mrs. Winters and the SCA the pageant was a success. THE VOICES OF Patty Harris, Diane Wilson, Lori Robinson, Susan Blevins, and Becky Grinstead ring out strong in the practice session. ENTERTAINMENT IS PROVIDED by Becky McKinnon.

Cathy Hutton gracefully ac- cepts the roses from Mr Hicks after being crowned by last year ' s queen, Brenda Blevins. The Tinkerbell, Mickey Mouse, and Pluto dropped by Marion during the week of October 25th to ignite the Homecoming activities with a bang. During the week, spirited students pre- pared for the coming events, and their efforts began to pay off with the success of the Variety Show ' on Thursday night. The Red Revue brought out many talented acts from both stu- dents and faculty. Afterwards students and friends escaped the chilly air for a few mom- ents around the blazing bonfire in the lower parking lot. On Friday afternoon, in an hour- long pep rally, the student body released their overwhelming spirit. Before the game Friday night, a Homecoming parade was held down Main Street in order to arouse community spirit. Following the parade, young and old Hur- ricane fans made the journey to the stadium in spite of the cold to await the beginning of the game with Grundy’s Golden Waves. The Red Revue proved themselves worthly of praise as they won the most important game of the sea- son, 20-8, through hard work and good sports- manship. The football game was highlighted by the crowning of Sherry Campbell as Home- coming Queen for 1977. The undaunted spirits of the Red Revue were carried over to Saturday night and the Homecoming Dance. Couples celebrated while dancing to the music of Greens Creek from North Carolina. As the week- end drew to a close, students went home feeling somewhat exhausted, but thoroughly happy be- cause the week had proved well worth all the hard work. IN THE PEP rally, Robert Russell gives his prediction as to the result of the upcoming game.

Many students threw themselves into active cam- paigning for their preferred candidate, and those who could voted. Even many who could not vote had definite opinions as to which presidential prospect would be the best for the job. In the school-wide election, Gerald Ford won by a small margin, but the national choice proved to be different on November 2 Jimmy Carter was chosen by the Amer- ican people to become our first president from the deep South in many decades. Some students were elated, others bitterly disap- pointed, and still others were completely apathetic about the outcome of this very im- portant election. It is a change that will affect all of our lives as we watch and see how this new President will run the most powerful nation on earth. IN AN EFFORT to make his vote count, Mike Crewey goes to the poles.

ONE OE THE changes which occurred in the school was the formation of co-ed gym classes. Along with the change of seasons, many changes came about in the school environment. With school underway students had to ad- just to these changes quickly. With the advent of autumn, the foot- ball season began, bringing with it pep rallies, high spirits, and the usual sockhops and parties. Another necessary activity was the PSAT’s the juniors had to take. For a while vandalism struck the school in the form of the firebug, causing much disruption and controversy. The fall season marked the completion of a successful phase of student life. SOMETIMES CLASS IS not too exciting as this sleeping girl illustrates PEI’ RALLIES.

Parents Attend Sc tied Every year the high school has one night specifically designed to allow the students’ parents to find out first hand about the curriculum their children are involved in. The faculty informed parents of the basis of the subjects taught. Parents had an opportunity to observe what their children’s school day was like as they followed a bell schedule similar to the one students were familiar with.

But Thanksgiving meant a lot more than good lood; it provided a time for students and faculty alike to look to God and to give thanks for good health, friends, and the benefits of living in a free country. During Thanksgiving as- sembly, which was sponsored by the Hi-Y Clubs after many hours of hard work. Reverend Bob Thornton deliver- ed his message to a surprisingly atten- tive gathering of students. Entertain- ment was provided by the Concert Choir, Mixed Chorus, and two newly formed groups the Girls ' Sextet and the Bel Canto group. A long holiday weekend provided an opportunity for the visiting of relatives and friends or just stay ing at home and relaxing. Once again, maybe more than ever, the day turned out to be A DAY OF THANKS. AS PRESIDENT OF the Hi-Y Club, Wayne Burkett presides over the assembly. Thankifninf 25 “Souvenirs! Get your souvenirs!” The cries rang out as the school and auditorium were temporarily changed into a lively carnival where clowns capered and puppeteers performed. The occasion was the Junior Play, aptly titled CARNIVAL. It was the story of a girl named Lili w ho wanted to join the carnival. She found out, however, that it was not so easy to do. With the use of only a few props, the cast managed to transform the everyday world into one where puppets had lives of their own, and hearts were easily broken. The outstanding success of the play was due to the talent and dedication of cast, as- sistants, directors, and many others who contributed their efforts to the cause. Although the main actors’ and actresses’ contributions were most evi- dent, all who were involved did a near- professional job. It’s a Carnival VOICES RING OUT as cast members rehearse their songs.

Dana Beville, is crowned by Mr. Henry. THE CHRISTM AS TREE provides a romantic place for couples to enjoy each other ' s company. SNOW-COVERED GROUNDS ARE a sign of the Christmas season. Christmas is the time when many people are filled with a festive spirit which lightens their moods. Buying gifts to make others happy and waiting to receive presents add to the excitement. Dancing in a fantasy land of snow and romance, those who attended the Christmas Dance were captivated by the enchantment of the surroundings. Mr. and Mrs. frosty Snowman ca- vorted on one wall of the cafeteria, while couples enjoyed the music of Dakota, a band from Charlotte, North Carolina. A giant Christmas tree stood in the middle of the floor. This and the other decorations provided a beautiful setting. Sponsored by the Hi-Y Clubs, the dance was a great success. The couples created a world of wonder about themselves through their festive moods and romantic imaginations. REFRESHMENTS ARE SERVED to the thirsty dancers by Anita Sturgill. Chmtr Sncw Scenes Most of the winter days were not spent in the classrooms. Slick roads caused the schools to have to close down for long periods of time. In Smyth County a total of 21 days were missed. It was often called the worst winter in years. Even the Christmas festivities at school had to be called off for snow. When the last day of school would be became a prominent question. Because the problem was almost everywhere in Virginia, a law was passed which said that if more than 15 days were missed, these days would not have to be made up. This was a relief to know. Many of the few days of school were sepnt in testing, as PSAT’s, SRA tests, and exams. It was an unusual winter which will be remembered by those who ex- perienced it. SNOW-COVERED GROUNDS became familiar sights in the long winter days. WITH A QUICK glance at his PSAT test, Tommy Harrison checks the accuracy of his answers. THE BEAUTY OF snow is seen so often in nature which is all around us. JO W inter AN UNUSUAL SNOWMAN is constructed by James Brown, Robert Murphy, David Blakely, and Tim Guy. MUCH CLOWNING AROUND happens when snow is on the ground and just right for forming snowballs. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR Randy Mallory to relax is available after his test has been completed. Something Fishy... There was “something fishy” about the Senior Play. It began with night after night of practice for the small cast of eight ac- tors. The usual problems with learning lines kept the prompters on their toes. Be- cause of conflicts the play had to be pre- sented before the students and before the public on the same Thursday, March 29. The Senior Play was called “Miranda.” It revolved around an unusual young lady, Miranda Trewella, who was staying at the home of her doctor. Sir Paul Martin. Sir Paul’s wife, Clare, became suspicious of Miranda because of her odd actions and remarks. Why did she jump so when Clare mentioned “tails and tiaras” for evening dress? What caused Nurse Cary to become hysterical? Why didn’t Miranda wear underpants? It was all a mystery, but the clues kept mounting. Finally Clare stum- bled upon the answer to the puzzle Miranda was a mermaid! Soon after her secret was discovered, Miranda jumped into the Thames River and swam away. The memory of her remained with those with whom she had come into contact in- cluding the audience. When else could one see a mermaid? THE CAST AND some of those who helped were: FRONT Anita Sturgill, Kim McClure, Jay Overbey, Diane Wilson: BACK — Leesa Greer, Shannon Wilson, Jeff Waddell, Ron Parsons, Lynda Vaught, Tim Guy, Cheryl Beaver, Jim Schwartz, and Mary Wright. DRESSED FOR THE opera, Clare (Mary Wright) and Paul (Jim Schwartz) share a quiet moment together.

Ckoni J5 Actcrs Deliver Insanity, incest, and death — these are the elements of HOME FREE, this year’s one-act play. With only two characters, the play achieves a pro- found impact on the viewer through character development and riveting dialogue. One of the drama department’s greatest successes, the play won a superior rating in the district competition and went on to be awarded a superior at the regional level, one of only two such ratings given. HOME FREE is a tour de force of warped impressions calculated to force the mind into alien and unnatural chains of thought. What does one think when it is discovered that the slightly strange newlyweds are brother and sister? How does one react to the invisible “children” that play such an important role in the couple’s lives? What weird obsession occupies their minds? These questions, among others, point up to the viewer the many- faceted aspects of insanity, and with the culmination of the short play, reality now seems just slightly out of perspective. WITH THE LOVING addition of each new car, the family project, a small, magical ferris wheel, nears completion. IN A MORE playful moment, Joanna and Lawrence struggles over a stool for their invisible friends. FIRM BELIEVERS IN the merits of good education, Lawrence Brown (Philip Haga) and Joanna Brown (Kathy Arason) instruct their unseen pupils in various branches of knowledge.

The students attended a coffee at the First United Methodist Church where they met with their counterparts. They assumed their positions for orientation into the position they were ap- pointed to or elected to for the day. State Sena- tor Rick Boucher was the speaker for the program.

Citizen. of the Month J9 The Entertainers The stage was often the sight of varied talent. Throughout the year special assemblies were held for the entertainment and education of the audience. Some people considered the as- semblies only a chance to get out of classes. Others were able to see how worthwhile and ben- eficial the assemblies were. Whatever their thinking, stu- dents gathered in the auditor- ium to view such acts as glass blowing, Philippine customs, singing by the group Genesis from Radford College, and the Easter assembly. BRINGING SONGS AND dancing to the stage was the group Genesis from Radford College. AN ATTEMPT TO convey the meaning of Easter is made by Rev. James Bangle during the Easter assembly.

Leaving very early Monday morning, April 25, the buses pulled into Pennsylvania just in tiem for breakfast. Gettysburg and the Chocolate World in Hershey, Pennsyl- vania, were toured. That night the lights of Washington, D.C., were seen as buses headed for the hotel. Tuesday and Wednesday were devoted to seeing the many places in Washington. Tuesday night was highlighted by a boat ride down the Potomac River. Thursday be- fore heading for home, Williamsburg and Jamestown were visited. Early Fri- day morning, around 1:30, the tired stu- dents arrived back in Marion. Very few managed to drag themselves to school the next day, but those who did were filled with stories of their experiences on the Senior Trip, a trip that will not soon be forgotten.

As nature began a new life in Spring, the students became more lively, also, and found it hard to keep their minds in school. Spring sports kept many students involved, and the band and chorus students stayed busy as they prepared for their annual spring concerts. Much excitement filled the air as the Prom grew near. But soon after the Prom, the stu- dents really began to realize that there were onl y a few more days of school left. For many, their thrills still revolved around their summer plans and hopes for the lakes and pools to open. But for the gradu- ating class, this time became more serious because they had to start thinking about the future and what lies ahead for them. it II ' I i fe HAVING TO BE in school, Karen Davidson still enjoys the pretty spring day as she gazes out the window. a PART OF the visiting circus, this tiger seems to illustrate a condition known to many students each spring — laziness.

Meeds With much secrecy and hard, diligent work the Junior class presented to the Senior class a one-of-a kind prom. Many of the Juniors who worked on the prom contributed many hours of work, even in the wee hours of the morning. Much artistic ability was produced on the murals and back drop. Another unusual highlight was the decorations outside the cafeteria. The twinkling lanterns, warm breeze, and balloons brought about a romantic atmosphere for the couples. This year’s theme was “Where Do We Go From Here?” which was timely for the Seniors. The night brought about different feelings for each individual. Even though the Class of ’77 will forget some of the events of their Senior year, the prom will remain with them for a long time.

It was only right that these students be honored with recognition in assemblies. The Scholastic Letter Awards assembly honored those who were outstanding in scholastic achievement. Tests were taken and the top 25 percent received the awards. The athletic assembly dis- tinguished those who had made marks in the sports field. Sports letters and special recognitions were made.

COMMENCEMENT the word means a new beginning, and how ap- propriate for graduation. This was where a new world opened for the graduates. They had to begin con- templating their future plans and goals and dreams. When it was real- ly over, it seemed so unreal. Many people cheered for joy that high school was all through, but others felt a sadness when they thought of all the fun they had had and all the friends they would have to leave behind. Graduation was the grand finale of an entire high school ca- reer, which opened the way to a new beginning in life. SPEAKING BEFORE HIS classmates, Alan Franks, Salutatorian, gives the opening speech. PREPARATIONS ARE MADE to march into the gym for commencement exercises. IN HONOR OF her many years of teaching, Mrs. Echols is honored at gradua- tion. Graduation $3 Waiting for an End It was hard to believe when the last days finally came. The year seemed to disappear so quickly. So many things had to be done to prepare for the end. There were exams to take, lockers to clean, summer plans to make, and graduation exer- cises to be practiced. The hec- tic pace was sometimes hard to follow, but when the days were finally over, it was the result of a year filled with many memories. ' iJk-f- THE DAY IS too pretty to be in school!

Competition 57 Get Intc The football season was one of hard work and dedication as the Big Red Machine pushed for victories. When the first game rolled around, the players were certain that they would come out on top as they surged in the final minutes to over- come the Chilhowie Warriors, 12-6. After this victory, the team knew ' that this one was the first of many. There were more wins, but there were also defeats as the Hurricanes strived for better than a .500 season. At the close of the campaign, they knew that they had reached their goal with a tie on the last game with Richlands. All in all, the season end- ed with a record of 5-4- 1 . Seniors Ron McCord and Mike Crewy, through outstanding perfor- mance and hard work, were selected to participate on the All-District Squad, a fine reward for any player.

They gained experience of winn- ing and losing and realizing that foot- ball is a tough game of getting bang- ed and knocked around, but the players also learned that same joy of knocking and banging others down.

The team battled against tough competition from other girl ' s teams in the surrounding area, but was able to achieve a final season of 14-4. Disappointed as the squad was with their defeat by the Abington Falcons in the District Finals, they were resolved to return next year with an even more determined team of talented players.

The players really proved themselves with a much deserved seasonal record of 13-3. Among the team ' s many wins was a victory over Gate City in the District Finals. The girl’s coach, Jeanne Duncan, has high hopes for a sterling performance by next year’s squad. PUTTING THE BALL into good hands was one of Julie Snyder’s jobs in J .V. Basketball.

Dedication and hard work became the hallmark of this years Boy’s Junior Varsity Basketball Team, as they pro- gressed into a season of numerous vic- tories and avid support. Posting a sea- son record of 9-9 the squad never failed to draw excited supporters to every game. Never being defeated by more than a narrow margin, the players were re- cognized by the surrounding competi- tion as a serious threat. Coach David Archer was equally responsible for an admirable season as the boys them- selves. Throughout the season the team represented a powerhouse of effort and enthusiasm. They are deserving of praise, and they have made us proud. SHOWING PERFECT FORM, Mike Camp- bell shoots to prove that Marion strictly means business. The Boy’s Varsity Basketball Team continued to st rengthen our school’s reputation for fair play and decent com- petition this year with an excellent rec- ord of 17-7 to show for their efforts at the season’s end. Although there were outstanding performances from such players as Seniors Don Hanley and Wayne Burkett and Junior Paul Hayes, all members demonstrated that neces- sary element of teamwork and coopera- tion that has made MSHS proud of every single one of them. Coach Larry Sayers, observing the talent of the in- dividual members, helped raise each one of his best playing ability, not only for the player’s improvement, but to benefit the team as a whole.

As the season for baseball approached, many young hope- fuls turned out for the team, bringing with them much enthus- iasm. Practices were held in the early morning for the purpose of basic training which included running countless sprints and perfecting batting skills. Other practice sessions were held in order to prepare the team for the upcoming full schedule. With the returning players, the Hurricanes had no difficulty in meet- ing the ball, but keeping the ball out of the opponents’ gloves was a different matt er. The baseball team went to the play-offs in Bristol with a season record of 8 l 2-9‘ 2.

Early in the season, the team began with a 13-game winning streak including a victory over highly re- spected ex-Tennessee State champions, Ten- nessee High. A latter loss to Tennessee High ended the winning streak briefly. Afterward the Scarlet Hurricanes began a march of 23 consecutive wins, including the Southwest District and Region Four crowns. Four mem- bers of the team traveled to Roanoke to par- ticipate in the State competition, where they finished in fifth place. WITH A SMOOTH swing. Cal Jones blasts out of a bunker onto the green.

Right in front of it all were the Varsity cheerleaders. They learned routines and cheers that would help incite the spirit that is so important to a school. At football games, basketball games, and pep rallies the cheerleaders were ever present. Who can ever forget the class yells, the catchy chants, the high-spirited yelling? They are all parts of high school that the cheer- leaders affect. Though sometimes overlooked, the cheerleaders are an asset to the school. They added much to the school year. Spirit ! THE PRESSURES OF the basketball game registered on Kim McClure’s face. I Get the VARSITY CHEERLEADERS WERE Kim McClure, Janice Mercer, Alisha Hayes, Patty Murphy, Sherry Campbell, Terri Ferrell head, Julie Blackwell Sturgill, Brenda Rowland, and Donna Little. PERFORMING ONE OF her tasks as head cheerleader, Terri Ferrell makes announ ments at a pep rally. 84 Varsity Cheerleaders Cheer fer Victories Providing spirit for the Junior Varsity athletic events were the J.V. cheerleaders. Although they did not see as much action as the Var- sity cheerleaders, they added their own flare to the school year. During Homecoming and a couple of pep rallies, the Junior Varsity cheer- leaders were given their chance to perform on stage. Although some- times their efforts to being more support for the J.V. sports were in vain, their spirit remained. N A DISPLAY of spirit and talent, Kathy Anderson, Lori Robinson, and Patty Jraham cheer for their team. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS were Patty Graham, Leanne Cope- land, Kathy Anderson. Carol Barker, Beth Jennings — co-head, Lori Robinson head, Jill Walker, Kim Blevins, and Tina Callis. DURING A TIME out, Kim Blevins performs her part of the routine. WITH THE SCANT crowd for support, the cheerleaders sit on the sidelines as they await more action from the game. JV Cheerleaders 85 Sports Wrap-up All year long sports were pro- minent as school activities. They provided a source of exercise, enjoyment, and competition for the athletes. They provided ex- citement for the onlookers. Every season of the year involved some sport — whether the actual play- ing or hard, long practices. An ex- tensive sports’ program added an extra dimension to school life. WITH MUCH EXCITEMENT, the football game progresses. ALL EFFORTS GO into Don Rowland’s indoor track jump.

In this way improvements and changes can be made for the betterment of the school. A Student Handbook is put together for the benefit of the students. Name tags and direction signs for the first day of school are made by the Orientation Committee. The SCA sponsored the beauty pageant and also the homecoming activities. Both ac- tivities are important parts of the school year. The executive council members attended the district conference at Fort Chiswell High School. For Christmas the SCA employed the help of its council members to purchase goods for the patients of the rest home, Francis Marion Manor. A disco-style sock-hop was sponsored by the SCA which was attended by many of the students of the school. S.C.A. OFFICERS FOR 1976-1977: Brenda Rowland vice-president.

A war orphan was spon- sored, a drive for cystic fibrosis was held, candy was sold, the Christmas dance was sponsored, and Christmas and Thanks- giving baskets were arranged for needy families. Many meetings were attended by members of the club. Besides the regular club meetings, there was a district work- shop in Damascus, the Southern District Conference for which Marion was the host, and the Model General Assembly for those who were selected to attend. The members of the club were able to get to- gether at a picnic which was held in the spring. The Gamma Delta provided a chance for involvement for those who took the time to become involved.

The Boy’s Senior Hi-Y is a Y.M.C.A. Christian organization with membership available to any junior or senior boy. This club is dedicated to serving people around them. Among their activ- ities, they co-sponsored the Thanksgiving Assembly, and helped with the Christmas Dance. They took a trip to Holston, which was full of sharing and en- joyment. As the club drew to a close at the end of the school year, the members served as ush- ers at Baccalaureate.

During the year the club worked hard to better the school and com- munity. Besides helping to sponsor the Christmas dance and Easter as- sembly, the club also gave a Christ- mas party for underprivileged child- ren and made Thanksgiving and Christmas favors for patients at the nursing home. They also collected for the Easter Fund Drive and help- ed sponsor the Bike-A-Thon for Cys- tic Fibrosis. At the end of the year the club was rewarded for all their hard work by being named club of the year.

Each year the Jr. Hi-Y is made up of freshmen and sophomore boys wishing to demonstrate their Christ- ian leadership throughout the com- munity. The main objective of the club is “to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character.” Among their projects of the year, the Jr. Hi-Y worked with the Jr. Tri-Hi-Y in making the Thanksgiving assembly meaningful and successful.

Keeping the students informed of cur- rent happenings and scheduled events is the job of Scholastic Scoops, the school ' s weekly radio program. The members did an excellent job reaching not only those who attend the school, but countless others who are interested in what occurs there. Broadcasting every Monday evening from WMEV, Scholastic Scoops adds feature reports to the news and sports articles to create an interesting and informative half-hour program. With such special fea- tures as the ideal person from each class and the top tunes of each class, they ex- hibited the imagination and creativity of all who participated. There were always interesting interviews and varied features to appeal to the listeners. Whether listen- ing for sports reports, music, events for the week, or anything involved with the school, students found it enjoyable to be able to tune into Scholastic Scoops to hear the latest news.

If one chose a class he could try out for one of the 32 spaces in Concert Choir, or he could become a member of Mixed Chorus. If one had extra time after school he could try-out for one of the 16 spaces in Bel Canto, or one of the 6 spaces in Sparklettes. During the course of the year, students sold light bulbs to make money to purchase new music. On November 6, members tried out for Senior High All-Regional which was held Feb- ruary 18-20 at Carroll County High School; 16 mem- bers participated. Mr. Mel Wilhite directed an All- County Workshop on November 12 with Marion as host. During the Christmas season, choral remained very busy with a total of 30 different concerts. As Spring approached, Concert Choir prepared and pre- sented the Christian folk musical “Natural High.” Bel Canto members attended the Swing Choir Festival at Madison and were rated. They also presented many programs for various organizations. JR. HIGH ALF-REGION AF; FRONT ROW: Bonnie Copeland, Kim Robinson, Carla Russell; SECOND ROW: Nadine Bise, Sandy Costello, Carrie Chapman.

A united group for the support and backing of all sports was the Pep Club. It was a spirited bunch and also a large one. Spirit posters painted by Pep Club members were displayed on walls all over the school. Even as individuals, the club members were often at the front of the cheering.

Although a small organiza- tion, the Chess Club managed to provide its own entertainment. Members engaged in matches of skill in the precise game of chess. It took lots of concentration and knowledge of the game to become a winner. Tournaments were held to see who could prove himself to be a better player. The club pro- vided a chance for those interested in the game of chess, whether they were skilled or not, to learn more about developing their strategy and playing abilities.

People do not realize the work behind the annual. With a small staff of 17, it was not the simplest of tasks. There were meetings in the summer to select a publisher. A theme has to be decided on. Staff members assisted in the taking of class pictures. When these came back, pictures had to be identi- fied and divided into classes. Layouts had to be completed, along with captions, head- lines, pictures, and copy for the pages. Deadlines always seemed to creep up un- expectedly and cause last-minute rushes. A new sponsor, Gerald Blakenship, had to be taught along with the new staff members. The sponsor for many years, Mrs. Echols, was teaching for her last year. The staff worked diligently even after the school days were over to produce the annual, which they hope will long live as a record of the history of the school. WITH ASSISTANCE FROM the editor, Anita Sturgill. Candace Musser plans her layout. PICTURES ARE DIVIDED into classes by Lisa Scott, Karen Kirby, and Carolyn Anderson. IN HIS POSITION AS BUSINESS MANAGER, Ernie Catron arranges for the sale of advertisements, with Carolyn Anderson available for assistance. v THE BAND SECTION is arranged by Susan Blevins.

The girls also contribute in making many of the activities at the school successful. The G.A.A. spon- sored a public magic show at Hallow- een, worked the concession stand during the girls’ basketball games, and helped in the hospitality room during basket- ball tournaments. At the end of each year, in reward for their many efforts, each senior girl is presented with a personalized Hurri- cane blanket. MIXED FEELINGS ARE surely running through Lynn Burkett ' s mind as she risks her head for the sake of a successful magic show. A SIGN OF panic and uncertainty appears on Teri Ferrell ' s face as the time for her magical debut approaches. SEEMINGLY UNCONCERNED WITH their work, Ellen Collins and Tina Barker watch in amusement as Robin Gardner tries to convince her customer that she did not spike his drink. Girl ' s Athletic Assocu Practical Applicaticns Woodworking is the basic task of the Industrial Arts Students. The members of the class, along with the members of the Industrial Arts Club, worked together in building backdrops for both class plays, changing the sign on the Piggly Wig- gly parking lot, and building benches for the smoking area. They also helped in setting up props for assem- blies and cutting wood blocks for Senior-mini- courses. USING THE SANDING machine, Robert Tuggle gives his project a finished look.

The Spanish Club is com- posed of those students wishing to carry their Span- ish interests outside the classroom. In ord er to raise money, the club sponsored bake sales and sold mega- phones and posters. The club’s hard work paid off at the end of the year when they went to the La Fiesta Cantina Spanish restaurant in Roanoke. 114 SpanithClub Cut cf the Ordinary WITH HIS MIND on other things, Stan Taylor does not seem to realize that Miss Burkett, the Spanish teacher, is standing nearby. For a change of pace there were the foreign language classes. Three lan- guages were taught — Latin, French, and Spanish. Mainly the foundation of the languages was taught, but there were also chances to put the knowl- edge to practical uses. In the Spanish and French classes, for example, proj- ects such as calendars and posters with words written in the different lan- guages were undertaken. The foreign language classes broadened kn owledge and also provided an opportunity for a break from the regular classes. •1 A BREAK IS taken in Mr. May’s Latin class.

Foreign Language Classes 1 1 5 Leaders cf Tcmcrrov An organization for the promotion of business education was the Future Busi- ness Leaders of America. They under- took many projects. Typing projects, such as program for several events and survey forms, were completed by FBLA members. Service projects were contri- butions for Smyth County flood vic- tims, baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and gifts for patients of the Cedars Nursing Home. Money raising projects were a bake sale and the sale of gourmet popcorn and doughnuts. An Open House was held by the FBLA to familiarize Freshmen with the business department. The FBLA played an im- portant part in the promotion of the March of Dimes. Tammy Sayers at- tended the MOD Orientation Meeting in Washington, DC. After this, the FBLA sponsored the Walk-a-Thon to raise money for the March of Dimes. On Valentine’s Day, watercolor pens and valentines were given to the teach- ers. The skills of individual FBLA members were displayed at the regional meeting in Radford. The seven first- place winners went to state competi- tion in Richmond. Connie Anderson and Janice Mercer won thrid-place awards at state and Tami Robinson won a first-place which entitled her to go to National Competition. For their many achievements, the FBLA club was named “Club of the Year” by the SCA. FBLA MEMBERS ARE: FRONT ROW: Mrs. Pugh sponsor.

An extensive business program was available to provide something of in- terest for almost everyone. For those beginning in the business classes, there were Typing I, bookkeeping, and gen- eral business. Typing I was for general use or for an introductory class to the block program. The block program consisted of Clerk Typing I and II or Stenography I and II. The co-op program provided jobs for students. Whether learning for the sake of learn- ing or in preparation for a future oc- cupation, the business program offered a variety of choices. There were many advantages to becoming involved with the business classes: teachers who were interested in individual efforts, the at- tainment of valuable skills, and the chance to prove abilities, and more. Busirtcu Classes 117 Scientific fiiov-tcw The Astronomy Club was a small organization devot- ed to teaching interested students some of the mys- teries of the universe. They met at night and would of- ten have informative speak- ers and programs. Although there were not very many members, those who chose to join benefited from the knowledge which they gain- ed in the science of astron- omy. IN THE SCA Installation Assem- bly, Susan Blevins lights the candle for the incoming president, Julie Snyder. With so few members, the Science Club was not able to tackle the projects which they hoped to achieve. The Science Club was the hon- orary sponsor of the Science Fair, an annual event which revealed the individual scientific ability of science students. The club was af- filiated with the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. ASTRONOMY CLUB MEMBERS: Carl Schaefer Vice President, Alan Franks — Pres- ident.

I Science and Astronomy Club New World Explorers CONFERRING WITH HER freshman biology students, Mrs. Potter identifies the elements of a successful experiment. The science classes comprise a unique group. They observe little creatures through microscopes, peer at animals jarred in formaldehyde; and smell strange odors in flasks. But even though they do these unusual stunts, they study diligently and learn a great deal. In the spring, the students rush around and stay up till wee hours in the morning to start and finish their science projects. Several of the proj- ects were prize winners and traveled to Roanoke to compete in regionals. A new student teacher, Mr. Miller, appeared in the halls. He taught the students many new and interesting scientific facts. Through all the study of the different sciences, new worlds were opened up to all participating students. WITH A WHOLE different world opened up to him, Roger Tibbs take advantage of the opportunity biology class offers him.

The money-raising project for the club was selling citrus frutis. A picnic was held at Hungry Mother Lake for the club members and their parents. In May, along with growing vegetables and flower plants, the Horticulture classes learned to construct corsages and ter- rariums from cuttings they propagated. Open House was held at Christmas. This gave parents and friends the op- portunity to observe the greenhouse and poinsettias the students had grown. A flower bed was planted in front of the school. Field trips were taken to a variety of locations. WITH THE CHRISTMAS season came Open House 120 Horticulture J Greenwood with the help of his student teacher.

TERM PAPERS BECOME steady friends with Seniors as they frantically work in the library. Grammar Fun As it is so important to know the fundamentals of good English, the English Department had many responsibilities. Composing, grammar, literature, term papers, and public speaking were only a few of the many items discussed in the English classes. There were also classes of speech and advanced composition, along with the four grades of English classes.

Facts and Figures For anyone who likes to work with Figures, the math classes provided many opportunities. There was al- gebra, geometry, algebra II, trig- onometry, math analysis, and cal- culus. Students learned to use such instruments as the compass and pro- tractor. There was much practical knowledge which could be used in future years, along with information that might never be seen again. The math classes were available for the unlimited use of facts and figures. ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN to Brenda Boyd by Miss Wilson on her math assignment.

I M U AS SHE COMPLETES another responsibility for the club, Mary Richardson prepares a bulletin board. The F.H.A. is an organization of the school which is very much involved in the happenings that affect student life. Among their activities for this year are bake sales, hot chocolate sales, and serving tea for summer school graduation and for the faculty during work days. The members of F.H.A. were responsible for the Youth Division and registration exhibits at the Rich Valley Fair. Another of their responsibilities was five planning sessions for officers during the summer. The club attended the Federation Meeting at Rich Valley on October 6, and helped the SCA and Pep Club sponsor a Disco Sock Hop. And they also sponsored the Smyth County Federation Meeting. As a worthy service to the community, they sponsored two families at Christmas. The F.H.A. left its mark as a productive part of the high school for 1976-77. TO RECALL MANY memories, Melissa McBride, Karen Hancock, Beth Puckett, and M Henson congregate around the scrapbook. AS A SPECIAL project of the F.H.A., they sponsored a float in the Homecoming Parj e.

Work begins in the classroom where in- struction is provided to prepare stu- dents for the world of business. After classroom education is completed, stu- dents go to their respective places of employment. They earn money for their efforts as well as contributing to com- munity business. Students attended both a Fall Rally and a Spring Rally. The president at- tended State Leadership Conference in Roanoke. The club is a member of the Distributive Education Clubs of America. In the physical education classes many new skills are taught to the students in various sports. It is required that every Freshman and Sophomore student take the physical educa- tion class and it is optional for the upper classmen to take the advanced class. Stu- dents were able to go bowling and learn all of the proper techniques in the sport. They also were able to play tennis and run track along with the inside sports such as basket- ball and volleyball. The physical education department con- verted to a co-education program for the first time this year and it proved successful.

Creativity The art class was enjoyed by many stu- dents. New creations were produced through the students’ interests. A great deal of talent revealed itself through this course, although there were some who took it to sharpen their perceptions which added to their appreciation of art. There were countless ways in which the students could show their skills and talents. Some of the projects undertaken in art classes were paintings, sculptures, mosaics, weaving, and many others. An art show was held at First National Exchange Bank. It was the largest art show held by the high school. Prizes were given for the best artistic en- deavors. The prize for best in the show was won by Tim Poston. WITH CAREFUL ATTENTION, Ellen Collins works on basket weaving, one of the many projects undertaken by the art students.

A group in our school, thought not widely recognized, is as much an inte- gral part of the student community as any other organization. This group is the vocational training students, who are involved in many areas of skiils. Learning first hand from their own experiences, the students involved in this program are provided with a unique opportunity to explore routes their futures may take. From Industrial Arts to Cosmetolo- gy, pupils have top-rate training for whatever field they are interested in. With the invaluable on-the-job training acquired in the vocational program, those who dream of a rewarding and industrious career can realize these hopes, and also look forward to an assured future.

Each student works on an in- dividual project, and grades 10 to 12 are in- volved in a workstudy program with Mr. Herndon. These classes are vocationally oriented and geared toward permanent job placement. During the year several special projects were undertaken, including a tour through the horticulture building and a special class on making a terrarium. Several students, along with Mr. Herndon, visited the Rehabilitation Center in Fishersville, Vir- ginia. Students enjoyed Christmas projects which Mrs. Barrett’s speech class planned for them, including a decorated tree. Ms. Sneed and Mr. Herndon have established the foundation of an effective and extensive program of special education, and they have brought these ideals to a reality. Much is owed to them, and with support they can achieve even a higher level of quality. EXCITEMENT IS ADDED to a dull moment when Jimmy Pruner and John Thomas struggle at arm wrestling.

Some- times, people can clash over these beliefs, but each individual is entitled to believe what he feels is right latch person by himself cannot complete the picture. Each of us must co- operate if a goal is to be reached. By working together, people can and have solved many of the problems existing in today’s world.

Class Play 1 1 Seniors 139 Leek Out for Chris Branson Michael Bridges S’ v Brenda Brooks William Brown Thomas Buchanan One delectable aspect that every under- classman has dreamed of from his first day as a Freshman until his Senior year has been Senior privileges. To leave assemblies while all other classes remain seated “tickled the toes of almost every Senior. Even better still was the thrill of cutting into the long lunch lines. Best of all was the feeling that underclassmen looked up to, respected, even sought after the advice and opinions of the Seniors. Perhaps one day Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors will learn that to avoid “initiations” and related perils from their Seniors, they should respect those Seniors and honor Senior privileges.

The “Red Review” featured many unusual people doing some very strange things. However, no act quite matched the uniqueness of the Senior class reunion. Such popular figures as Elvis Presley, Elton John, and Alice Cooper paraded across the stage. These colorful celebrities shared the spotlight with a host of other famous characters. Almost everyone enjoyed the outlandish antics of supposedly dignified Seniors, but hope- fully their tribute pleased Mrs. Echols most of all. Football 9, 10, Baseball 11, 12, Class Play II.

Selling , Selling , Since Senior sponsors often found them- selves faced with innumerable bills, and since the Seniors who ran up those bills were usually broke, ingenious methods were con- ceived to raise money. Thus, Senior projects came into being. Seniors rushed boxes of delicious candy to all parts of Smyth County. During the winter months industrious Seniors displayed warm toboggans to frozen under- classmen; In hopes of helping foot the Senior trip bill, bedraggled Seniors lugged Kit-N- Kaboodle bundles around their neighbor- hoods to sell an assortment of interesting items for Christmas gifts. To top off their year, the sale of Senior play tickets was most profitable. If they learned nothing else in their last year of high school, at least one may be sure that the Seniors did learn to smile, to be polite, and to sell their products. THE ARTICLES IN the Kit-N-Kaboodles are looked over by Mrs. Echols, Robert Thompson, anc Pam Wheeler.

EM Janice Mercer Alvin Miller David Miller Mark Moore Rebecca Moore 7 ' Patricia Murphy Sonja Mozingo Terry Moore The Foreign Exchange Student, Sharon Parker, became a welcome addition to Marion. The lovely girl from Ireland had to accustom herself to the various customs and speaking habits of this part of the world. It seems unusual that Sharon speaks more proper English than most. She studied it in high school in Ireland and learned very correct usage. The colloquialisms of South- west Virginia surely seemed confusing. Sharon was called upon to speak to English classes and also in front of the school about her country of Ireland. One of the things she noted is how much more free time those in America have. She used to spend most of her time studying. With her friendly smile and kind ways, Sharon became an unforgettable part of the school year. READING AMERICAN MAGAZINES is a pastime of Sharon Parker, our foreign exchange student. DOROTHA CORDELIA McDANIEL JOEY MICHAEL McFARLENE In- dustrial Arts 11 President; Football 10, Basketball 9.

Wilson ' s responsibilities is to help Seniors, Meva Mabe and Jeff James Overbay Waller with their future plans. Although being a Senior had its advan- tages, important decisions hovered on the hori on of every individual. Questions such as, “What shall I be?” “Is college right for me?” “Where shall I go?” “Should I marry this person and if so, when?” were in the heads of every Senior. In preparation for the future, many Seniors were involved in SAT’s, ACT’s, State Boards, etc. Other seniors experimented in various job situations. While some thought that the Armed Services might be the place for them. Each Senior sought advice from parents, friends, and guidance counselors, but in the end, the final decision remained the individual Senior’s responsibility. By the conclusion of the year, everyone had made some type of decision for the future.

Roger Tibbs Mark Totten Debra Tilley Roy Tilson Philip Torbett Catherine Tuggle Blanche Turley Ronald Vaughan Measuring big heads, gripes concerning figures, and physiques, not enough announce- ments, and too many name cards were just a few of the problems that marked the swift approach of graduation. Mingled feelings of joy and sadness engulfed each Senior, and no one wanted anyone else to know. As the big date drew closer, emotions mounted en- tangling each other. There were those who contemplated failing to avoid graduating, those who eagerly looked forward to ex- ploring new worlds, and those who were just plain glad to get out of high school. Despite differing opinions, the Senior class became closer knit than ever before since everyone realized that this would be their last year together. On June 10, amid whoops of laughter and trickles of tears, the Class of 1977 shared their final and grandest moment.

The servers were summoned when John Warner and Liz Taylor graced our cafeteria as he showed her this section of Virginia. The Seniors served the hungry crowds who had come to listen to John Warner or to glimpse at the great beauty of the 50’s. Along with serving Mr. and Mrs. Warner, Seniors were able to meet photo- graphers and copywriters from several publications.

With their newly-gained status, the Juniors suc- cessfully made the year of 1976-77 a memorable one. Their first and most important project, candy sales, began in September. The candy sel- lers’ efforts weren’t in vain, as they set a new school record for the most sweets sold. The pro- fit made went toward sponsoring the Junior- Senior Prom. The Broadway musical. Carnival, was presented by 48 class members on November 19 to the public. On November 22, it was re-enacted for the student body. Although class rings had been ordered in Octo- ber, they did not arrived until December 9, 1976. The timing was not the best since it was the Christmas season, but very few complaints were heard. The classmates were very proud of, and excited about their ’’extra proof’ of being a Junior. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Beth Gillespie reporter, Nile D.

Participation in athletics was strong in the Junior class. Juniors had a hand in every school sponsored sport. They often made the difference between win- ning and losing. Reputations of the Junior athletes were described as “fierce competitors with a burn- ing desire to excel and win with a definite conscien- tious sense of sportsmanship.” Finally, time for the prom arrived. Through much hard work, the Juniors presented a prom that could not soon be forgotten. As the year ended, many Juniors began to look for- ward to entering their last year of high school and gaining the privileges of becoming a Senior.

WITH THE ARRIVAL of class rings, Cindy Coalson, Crystal Musser, and Sherry Naff flocked together to compare the different styles.

Many achieve- ments were made and goals reached during their effort to establish them- selves as a significant, functioning part of the school. The class officers worked along with the homeroom representatives to make the students ' opinions and needs known. These officers were: Margie Gwyn, President; Beverly Grinstead, Vice President; Susan Hunter, Secretary; Becky Grinstead, Treasurer, and Deb- bie Coley, Reporter. THE CLASS OFFICERS, Beverly Grinstead. Becky Grinstead, Margie Gwyn, Susan Hunter, and Debbie Coley, and class sponsor, Mrs. Winters, worked continuously throughout the year to make their class the best possible. Working as a group and as individuals, the sophomore class continued its event-filled climb to reach the top.

It was a big improvement after last year’s losing streak. Also, several sophomore football players were chosen to play on the varsity team. Some of the other activities engaged in were a skit in the Variety Show, forensics, the beauty pageant, and the scholastic letter tests. In retrospect, the members of the class of 1979 proved themselves to be involved, concerned individuals, looking forward to fulfilling years as upperclassmen.

The class of 1980 entered school with the mixture of excitement and timid- ness that usually accompanies any Freshman class. They got organized very quickly and became acquainted with the school’s layout in spite of the confusion of their first-week distrac- tions. The limelight briefly illuminated several 9th graders on College Career Night, the once-a-year occasion for which they are guides. Numerous students joined athletic teams and participated in a variety of other scholastic activities.

If so, how?” Surprisingly, the over- whelming majority polled replied no. Some of the rea- sons given for a negative answer were: “Because one day I ' ll be an upperclassman,” “Because my brother is one,” “Because I don’t take anything off of them,” “Because some of my friends are upperclassmen,” and “Because I’m a girl.” Some reasons for answering yes were: “Because it is a tradition,” “They boss me around,” “Because they put us down in Pep Rallies,” and “They say I ' m too young.” STANDING AT HER locker, Kathi Anderson smiles at some- one in the hall.

Teaching must be a team effort if the school functions properly, and not merely a nine to — three job with plenty of free time. Teachers instruct, do an abundance of paperwork, counsel with students, and sacrifice a great deal of free time so that we receive every opportunity that this school can offer us. Sponsoring classes and clubs, coaching athletics, directing plays, and insuring the success of our many extracurricular activities hardly fits into the nine to three stereotype which has so often prevailed.

Escapades SHOWING MOVIES HELPS keep students’ attention and breaks the monotony of the regular classes, as Mr. Neese finds out. Outside the door of a social studies room we hear mention of maps and our past. Graphs and equations decorate the walls of a math room, while strange odors and microscopes continue to puzzle students in the science wing. As some of us ponder over footnotes and book reviews in English classes, others are stammering with a foreign language and appearing puzzled with today’s translation. Regardless of the methods and paraphernalia used, however, our teachers know that learning is a very personal experience an experience made bearable, sometimes even enjoyable, by that personal touch that only a good teacher can add. Marlene Dunford French I, II, English 9. Lillie Echols U.S. History, Annual, Sen- ior class. MAKING SURE EACH student has his homework is part of Mr. Scott ' s routine. “BEING HAPPY, SINGING, and working make a good performance,” says Mrs. Wilhite. STUDENTS LISTEN WHEN Miss Duncan uses her hands during a lecture. “YES, THAT WAS a citizenship cut I just placed in my gradebook,” answers Mrs. Dixon. Teachers are Teachers are not walking encyclopedias of information, and, thank goodness, neither are they computers. Our teachers are human beings who have emotions just as students do. Our faculty often spends time reminiscing on the first work- day of school about the good times of the summer. Teachers are often happy and carefree just as we are. As Christmas approaches, the staff is as glad as anyone that a break is near, but their excitement is sometimes obscured lest academics be completely forgotten during those last days before a holiday. Teachers worry some- times, and they even have problems as the rest of us do. They become tired oc- casionally, after dealing with 150 students and twice that many questions and papers each day. Perhaps that ' s why teachers sometimes seem to be a bit grouchy or tense. Perhaps they have that right. TOPICS SUCH AS, “What did you do all summer?” are heard as teachers relinquish their holidays DESPITE HER SIZE, Mrs. Smith intends to prove she can before starting the first day of school. still beat it.

Mr. Wingfield collects a handful at a basketball game. Teaching is much more than coming to school and lecturing. Much of a teacher’s time is spent on bus duty, hall duty, or lunch duty. Many teachers contribute upwards of sixty hours of their time in directing a class play or a musical production. Evenings are frequently given to chaperoning sock hops or supervising sporting events. Sponsoring clubs and assuring responsibility for their success is not as easy as it may seem, and countless hours of planning for classroom activities have always challenged the go od teacher. It’s a tough job, but a job our faculty does well. STRATEGY IS PLANNED for another winning track meet by Athletic Director PLANNING THE PROM plays a big part during the school year of Mrs. Bill Earp and Coach Brockman. Linkous. New races � New faces and fresh ideas again appeared at M.S.H.S. as several new faculty members greeted students last fall. Joining the staff were Miss Bear, Engish 9; Mrs. Harper, English 10; Miss Henson, home economics; and Mr. Herndon, special education. Mrs. Hudson, a new librarian, soon became an asset to our school, and Mrs. Jowers became a part of us when she assumed Mrs. Ruth Smith ' s duties while Mrs. Smith was ill. Saddened by the news of Mr. Hicks’ illness, the students and faculty found themselves under the very capable direction of Mr. David Henry, who served as principal in Mr. Hicks’ ab sence. Mr. Henry was unselfish with his time and energy during this difficult period, and students and teachers appreciated the fact that his door was open to anyone who wanted to talk. Rounding out the new personali- ties at our school this year were the student teachers from Emory and Henry College who spent several weeks in our midst. Bring- ing new ideas and methods of teaching, these young educators were a welcome sight at our school. SHE MIGHT NOT have a new face, but it is a first kiss on her birthday D B.

Faculty I7 i SC years cf Deveticn A small brook trickles through the forest floor. It is a placid, easy stream, so there are no hewn granite gorges to mark the passage, no bellowing rapids that resound endlessly to announce its coming and no towering ribbon — like falls that plummet recklessly only to lose their single moment of showiness and glory in the dim murky pool at the bottom. There is only a tiny, purposeful brook that pushes on in its elegant but pure path. Yet, it is this tranquil sim- plicity that is noticed, for as the water encompasses the surrounding areas, it gives freely of itself, until the things the liquid encounters are slightly and imperceptably altered, changed if you will, revelling in the newness of the refreshing cleansing. Thus it is with Mrs. Echols, for she too works in small but dramatic ways, with no fanfare and often a very mini- scure amount of attention. It is, how- ever, in these simple, straight-forward ways that we will remember her — in the easy way, like the water, that she reached her hands out to us, that she opened her heart and her life, the very fiber of her being, and gave unselfishly of her moments and of her knowledge so that we might reap the benefits of her wisdom, of her compassion, and of her care and concern. Those of us that know Mrs. Echols, that saw her spright- ly step, that listened to her stern voice and that often laughed with her — we have felt the force of her personality and in this have come away with a deeper comprehension of many things. So after the deafening echoes have quieted, after the great monuments of people’s achievements have crumbled, and after the sensational and absurd have passed by, those of us that work- ed with Mrs. Echols for just a small part of her fifty years of teaching will still have the ability to rekindle the mys- tical part within us, no matter how large or small, that this lady acted upon, and it is those personal, un- speakable memories of the students that knew her, of her colleagues, and just of .the people she touched in her daily life that will act as the grandest and most lasting monuments of her teaching career. W.C. Sheets A GENTLE WOMAN, who gave of herself so generously and unselfishly, was Mrs. Lillie Echols — senior class sponsor, teacher, annual staff sponsor, friend, and advisor. Her retirement brings much sadness to all who know her. REFRESHMENTS ARE ENJOYED by Mrs. Echols during her birthday party from the annual staff. BEFORE THE SENIOR Play, Mr. Goodman and Mrs. Echols observe a program. IK) Dedication DURING THE HOMECOMING festivities, Mrs. Echols is crowned Homecoming Queen by the Senior Class. ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR assistance to students, especially in her role as senior class sponsor, is Mrs. Echols, who here aids Jimmy Pruner. MUCH DETERMINATION AND time is put into the work of Mrs. Echols. A MACRAME PLANT-HANGER is accepted by Mrs. Echols as a birthday gift from the annual staff. Dedication 181 Eehind the Scenes The cafeteria and custodial staffs consist of people behind the scenes who keep our school running efficiently. These people do top-quality work and we should appreciate their hard work and efforts in making our school a more comfortable place to be. PREPARING DOUGH TO make bread is one of the duties of Mrs. Wilma Blevins. CAFETERIA MANAGERS, MRS. Doris Clawson, is waiting for the student rush to ensue as first lunch begins. FRYING FRENCH FRIES is a time-consuming job as shown b; Mrs. Rose Johnson. AFTER LUNCH HAS been served. Mrs. kitchen in preparation for tomorrow ' s meal.

Cafeteria Staff and Cust PCCMOTECS ngburgers Where are the best places to shop? How much money should I spend? These were the questions most pondered over before the visiting of local establishments. The businesses also had their share of problems with keeping their appear- ance attractive and supplying the needs of the community with the combined effort of the pro- moters and the students, better relations were developed. Consumer and supplier co-operated to form a more complete business picture. HPIRT WORK a. a n PRUli ARMY-N-NAVY 3.WTV MARION MUTUAL A6ENC PRUNER’S SHOE SHOP IRON ST.

Carol 46,90.179 Locks Like We Made It HURRiCRHES THE FANS AT the football game watch with anticipation Another year completed, more mem- ories captured — it began with a puz- zle — what to take, who to have for friends, what to do with the year. Slow- ly, but surely, the pieces fell into place until the picture was complete. The pic- ture encompassed life and its many oc- currences for each individual.
