A take-off on television shows sets the theme for the sophomore hall. The spirit of homecoming was in the air as an enthusiastic student body began the annual tradition of decorating halls and floats. Victory Theatre won first place for the seniors in the hall division, with a three-dimen- sional animated movie Show- down at Underwood Corral. The second spot was held by the juniors as they caged the Indians to the theme We're Coming To Take Them Away. The sopho- mores took their part with Tele- vision Land , tuning in to the Wildcat-Indian football game. The float division offered separate class and club com- petition. Taking the lead among the class floats, the seniors created the Cats Are Burning the Indians at Their Own Stakes. Next we re the juniors with Tip a Canoe and Indians Too. The sophomore float was decorated as a Time Tunnel. The clubs par- ticipated with various floats, headed by the FBLA float entitled File the Indians Under 'L' for Losers. Sunshine and breezes opened the big day on October 15, 1966, but before the festivities were able to get underway the clouds burst with a downpour of rain that endured throughout the evening. As the cars and floats formed a line for the parade the rain con- tinued to fall, forcing convertibles to raise their tops and causing floats to droop as they became saturated. The rain would not give in and neither would the Wildcats, so the parade pro- ceeded. The stage was then set for the Nitro-Sissonville game as loyal fans sat dripping in the stands. 12 A jubilant David Sayre accepted the first place award for the winning hall presented to the seniors by Prin- cipal Raymond Arbogast. This was the first time in four years the seniors won. Gym doors provided the setting of the barn scene in the seniors' three dimensional movie. At half-time the homecoming court waded onto the field as the highlight of the game ap- proached. The procession was led by the three senior candidates for queen. Nancy Alexander was first with her escort, David Sayre, followed by Patti Craigo, escorted by Phil Curtis, and Joyce Seed, escorted by Bill Hall. The court was completed with the junior attendant, Lola Payne with her escort, Wayne Simmons, and sophomore attendant Teresa Spence with escort, Jerry Tyler. Ray Little, president of the stu- dent body, and Brenda Gibson, president of the GAA, followed as the moment for coronation arrived. Tribe Aban-don-hopi, in the senior hall, was the site of the Wildcat stronghold over the beaten Indians. 13 HOMECOMING COURT Patti Craigo, with her escort, Phil Curtis, smiles radiantly after being crowned Miss Wildcat 1966-67.

WINTER FORMAL The Winter Formal's Silver Bells set the stage for the crowning of the lovely Miss Snow Queen, Patti Craigo. Highlighting the evening, Patti's moment of surprise came when the president of the Student Council, Ray Little, announced her name during inter- mission. The new Snow Queen, escorted by Bill Goodell, was attended by Nancy Alexander, whose escort was Brooke Cunningham, and Colleen Ayers, escorted by Mike Williams. Decorated in the style of an old-fash- ioned Christmas, the gymnasium was filled with 150 couples who swirled into the night to the music of the Seven Seas . 16 Mixed Emotions yif enc ant cSnow Queen Patti Craigo Nancy Alexander 17 jl temfan Colleen Ayers Dancing on air are Miss Snow Queen and her escort, Bill Goodell, left; and attendant Nancy Alexander and escort Brooke Cunningham.

Keeping towels clean and recording game-by-game statistics on the team and individual players are just a couple of the responsibilities these boys hold. Head coach Carl Bradford and assistant coach Joe Cowley use their time and thought to instruct the Nitro High basketball team. The coaches practice with the boys to give drills on strategy and performance along with coaching the players on offensive and defensive maneuvers. Film strips of past games help the coaches to detect weaknesses and to correct mistakes. During the game, the final task comes when last-minute de- cisions are needed. THE MANAGERS 32 The Wildcats played host to St. Albans in their second game against the Dragons, ending with a ten point victory of 65-55 for the Nitro team. A new zone defense and a 32 point performance by Gary Fowler gave Nitro what they needed to stem several St. Albans rallies late in the game. Bringing up court, below, is Nitro's Steve Hindle. Steve Hindle and Gordie McClanahan set up Coach Carl Bradford's new zone defense. Randy Atkins takes a shot for Nitro during the Sissonville game. Bill Hall makes a high jump for the ball against a Sis- sonville player. Nitro was the first and only team in the KVC to break 100 with (103-62). 33 Randy Atkins takes a high jump for two points against the Generals. Nitro suffered its first loss of the season against Saint Albans on the Dragons home court. Nitro trailed by as much as 18 points during the first half but rallied in the third and fourth quarters only to come up trail- ing by 8 at the buzzer. Nitro made another great come- back performance against the Stone- wall Jackson Generals. Trailing by 20 points late in the first half, Nitro rallied with nine seconds to go. A last second shot by Gary Monk of Stonewall edged the cats 71-70. Gordie McClanahan grabs a rebound for Nitro during a 60-50 loss to St. Albans. Nitro High's starting five form a huddle with their coach to plan team strategy. Players and their positions are (coun- terclockwise): Randy Atkins, guard; Steve Hindle, guard; Gary Fowler, forward; Bill Hall, center; Ray Little, for- ward; and Carl Bradford, coach. The making of a player . . . What does it take to become an outstanding basket- ball player? For Gary Fowler, a 6'3 senior, it is an avid enjoyment of the sport and much practice. In the past three years, Gary has played in every game but one. When heenteredhigh school in his soph- omore year he played well enough to become a member of the varsity team. Although he averaged only three points a game, practicing with experienced teammates and playing other schools gave him needed experience. In his junior year, Gary returned to play and gained confidence. Gary's senior year has been his most prosperous. Not only has he been the top player at Ni- tro, but he has also expanded his shooting ability to place him as the leading scorer in the Kanawha Valley Conference with a 27.7 average. Shooting as many as 40 points a game, he has been the most consistent scorer in the league. Gary has been given recog- nition by friends, coaches, and colleges. However, he attributes much of the credit to his coach, Carl Bradford, who has given him pointers for improvement and a source of encouragement. . . . the making of a play. Nitro battles for the ball in the Wildcats' second game against Sissonville. Securing the ball for the Nitro team is Bill Hall. Victory for the Wildcats was the outcome of the second Nitro-St. Albans game. The boys were exuberant with their comeback against the Red Dragons after winning a well-earned battle. B-TEAM Left to Right: Tom Miller, Randy Humphrey, Jeff Taylor, Bob Brick, Wayne Stonestreet, John Tidquist, Ricky Townsend, Coach Joe Cowley. The basketball B team allows boys, who are not ready for the varsity team, to prepare for future games and acquaint them- selves with this sport. Junior and sophomore boys are eligible for mem- bership. At the beginning of the school year, the boys prac- tice in the evenings after the varsity team, but dur- ing the season both groups practice together. These practice sessions teach the boys the fundamentals and later they learn the basic plays followed by drills on offense and de- fense. 36 BASEBALL Jack Javins and Joe Hoffman clown in the gym during rainy weather. Baseball is one of the various spring sports enjoyed by Nitro High School boys. Boys interested in playing begin in February to practice the basic fundamentals and to do calis- thenics in order to get into shape for the coming season. Later training calls for fielding, where outfield and infield work is drilled. Batting, passing, catching, and running are some of the basics in which development is essential. Baseball has its lighter side, too, such as the annual Joe Hoffman Award presented to the most ’’outstanding'’ player. Returning lettermen this year are (left to right) Joe Hoff- man, Tom Winter, Ronnie Bridgette, Ray Little, Mike Stover, and Jack Javins. Mr. Jim Higginbotham will be the coach. 37 FIRST ROW: (Left to Right) Gary Mooney, Tom Duncan, Dave Chapman, Delmer Lilly, Tim McDavid, Ronny Sim- mons, Sollie Bartoe, Lee Hughart, Paul Shockey, and Coach Jon Loftis. SECOND ROW: Mike Randolph, Archer Bailey, Tom Brewer, Larry Thompson, Gary Dotson, Butch Long, Mike Williams, James Smith, and Bill Javins. THIRD ROW: Danny Thomas, Ronald Lusher, Richard France, John Workman, Jerry Thomas, David Kessell,and John Miller. WRESTLING Delmer Lilly in the 133 pound division struggles against a Du- Pont Panther in a french cross position. 38 Paul Shockey, in a cross face position, tries to es- cape a double-lay take down by a DuPont wrestler in the 95 pound division. Lee Hughart in the 103 pound division goes into a standing referee position. Delmer Lilly holds a three-quarter nelson position in the 133 pound division. 39 Under the coaching of Jim Higginbotham, Nitro experi- enced its second season of cross country competition. The team participated in the Kanawah County Regional Meet at Charleston and several other dual and tri- meets. Although the team won only one meet this year, Coach Higginbotham thinks the team shows great poten- tial since only one senior ran this season. CROSS COUNTRY Getting his wind back after a tough race is senior Greg Martin. Junior Mike Stover participated in a regional meet at Coonskin Park. 40 TRACK AND FIELD FIRST ROW: (LEFT TO RIGHT) Tiny Arthur, Bob Miller, Jerry Harrison, Jim Turley, Ed Cobb, Gary Painter, Greg Martin, Doug Smith, and Coach Jon Lofits.

THIRD ROW: Butch Long, Gray Dotson, Danny Smith, Tom Brewer, Ronnie Simmons, Dave Cavender, Mike Randolph, Steve Thompson, and Ron Lusher. The track and field teams at Nitro High School organize in the spring to hold meets with local schools in Charleston and surrounding areas. This year's track team consists of about 35 boys, who participate individually in the various events of the sport. Practice is held every day to prepare the boys for the state, re- gional, and tri-meets. Some of the yearly events the team participates in are the invitationals with Stonewall Jackson and DuPont High Schools, which last approxi- mately four to five hours, the Capital City Classic and the Gazette Relays, which last all day. These meets are held at Laidley Field in Charleston. The track consists of running, hurdles, and relays; the field includes jumps, discus, shot put, and pole vault. 41 GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM Practice, practice, and more practice is what it takes for the members of the girls' tennis team. Evenings after school and weekends at the tennis courts provide the opportunity for these girls to develop and improve their ability. Using the proper arm swing for accurate shots and quickening speed are significant skills that are necessary for a winning match. The girls chal- lenge teams from other schools in a round of matches and at the end of the season they enter into the state tournaments. Returning players this year are Brenda Knight, Debbie Mc- Kown, Leslie Smith, Debbie Clarkson, Harriet Frazier, and Brenda Gibson. Mrs. Pruett sponsors the girls. BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM The Nitro High School boys tennis team holds a popular position in the line of sports. During the season,the boys compete in matches against other schools, which means skill is needed in precision and speed. A proper arm swing is essential for accuracy in returning the ball. The serve also has a special move- ment. Stepping into the play, quick running and response are other important parts in this game. Players for the team are Jeff Hall, Mike Cox, Steve Dye, Steve Ullum and Butch Og- burn. Mr. Tom Munsey is their instructor. I 9 43 GOLF Golf at Nitro High School has become a popular sport with the boys. Considered a sport of relaxation, golf also has a challenging attraction. Competition matches with local schools are held by the team under the direction of Carl Bradford. The various courses in the area also pre- sent a separate challenge each time for the golfers. Golf enthusiasts at Nitro are (left to right) Jim Hol- ley, Richard Uglow, Bill Hall, Tim McDavid, Tom Hudnall, Bob Roark, and Coach Carl Bradford. 44 FEATURES Vicki Higginbotham Susie Clark Diane Portz Debbie Mullins Co-Head Nancy Jarrell Head CHEERLEADERS Who is it that provides the school spirit at every football and basketball game? Who is it that arouses enthusiasm in pep assemblies? Who is it that leads the pep club in snappy yells and cheers? It is the cheerleader and Nitro High School has eight who do just that. Regulars on the cheering squad are head, Nancy Jarrell, co-head, Diane Portz, Vicki Hig- ginbotham, Susie Clark and Debbie Mullins. Substitutes are Patty Patton, Nancy Young and Susan Hogshead. The cheerleaders' sponsor is Miss Barbara Schuda. The senior high squad works hard and keeps a busy schedule. This past summer the girls attended a national cheerleading camp in Kentucky, Camp Crescendo, where they received honors in first and second place positions. Along with the previously mentioned activities, the cheer- leaders bought new uniforms with the money they raised from bake sales, car washes, the sale of pep ribbons for football and basketball games, and sponsoring two school parties. Each year cheerleaders are chosen by members of the administration and faculty. All girls having, at least, a C average are eligible. 46 and this.

MAJORETTES Multicolored costumes and snap-dash routines added variety to the performances of the Nitro High Majorettes Corps lead by Nancy Alexander, head, and supervised by Mrs. Delores McGucken. The high stepping Majorettes have participated at football games and in school as- semblies. The Kanawha Valley Majorette Festival, Antique Car Show, United Fund, Band Day and Kanawha County Festival are some of the parades in which they participated. The Major- ettes have sported many new outfits, including their pep assembly uniforms and Spanish Flea costumes. 150 hours of practice during the summer and after school help to develop skill in marching and routine. Car washes, and a dance were necessary to earn money. They slaved over dirty cars, and soap suds to their knees with multiple hose, brushes, and rags every Saturday during the summer from 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Working along with the Majorettes were the two «substitutes, Mary Holcomb and Sandie Minner. 49 The girls strut high in parade formation. Black boleros and red sashes added contrast to the Spanish flea costumes. Riches turn to rags after Cinderella's ball. LEFT TO RIGHT: First place, Charleston High; Sec- ond place, Susie Hill, Nitro High; Third place, East Bank. In the originality division of the Major- ette Festival, Nitro Majorettes reproduced the Prince's Ball of the Cinderella story. They stepped from gold glitter coaches in baby blue taffeta gowns and waltzed to the music of Moon River. As the clock struck twelve, their gowns turned ragged and the coaches changed into pumpkins. They then danced to the snappy beat of Rock Around the Clock. Susie Hill, twirler for Nitro, placed a competitive second in the twirling division. She executed her fancy routine to the music of Mighty Mite, while sporting a winning smile.

MR. AND MISS SENIOR 1967 Dave Sayre and Tommie Denny 94 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As our time in high school draws to a close, we, as seniors, are not only looking forward to graduation, but also looking back through the hallowed memories of our days at Nitro High School. Our story began when we first entered high school with the title of 'sophomores'. Deter- mined to live up to our names as wise ones, we chose as our leading characters Aaron Phil- lips-President, Tim Norvell-Vice President and Tommie Denny-Secretary-Treasurer. Chapter One came to a successful climax when our hard work and effort captured first place honors in the homecoming floats. Rockin' and Rollin' For Our Team was the theme that proved so re- warding to our Sophomore Year. Chapter Two began again with a successful homecoming. We, as juniors, received first place hall decorations with Eve of Destruction--Dawn of Correction and also first place float award with our Wildcats Put the Huskies in the Dog House. Our capable leadership through- out the year included Dave Sayre, Gary Fowler, and Vicki Higginbotham. This, too, was the year our thoughts became realities as we chose our class colors, burgundy and pink, class mot- to, Forward Ever Onward Until You Reach Your Goal and our class flower, the cymbidium. Our book was finally given a title, set to the music of No Man Is An Island. Once again we put our imagination and initiative together to plan the highlight of the Junior Year--the Junior- Senior Prom. After months of hard work and preparation, our stage was set on May 21, as the doors were opened for the Seniors of '66 to enjoy An Evening In Paris. Our final chapter was written as Seniors. We have proved that No Man Is An Island, and no man stands alone. We found out that each man's joy is joy to me; each man's grief is my own. We have worked together for three years in high school and have learned that we need one another. Our Senior Year brought with it still another homecoming. Again we strived to maintain ourprevious standing, and we did by winning first place hall decorations with Showdown at Under- wood Corral. The class's final float, Wildcats Burn Indians at Their Own Stakes, won first place honors, also. Our able class officers, Dave Sayre, Mike Randolph, and Tommie Denny brought us through a successful and rewarding Senior Year. Yes, looking back on these few chapters of our book may bring tears to some eyes, but as May draws nigh, we realize that we also have our own personal goals to fulfill.
