The hands that have administered discipline, the counseling hands, the encouraging and beckoning ones, each has shaped a small part of their personalities. Parents, teachers, friends, and even strangers are responsible for the finished product. A sculptor's one pair of hands may mold a thing of beauty from the rough clay, but many more are required to mold the material of which human character is made. The Hi-Jacket pays tribute to these hands in a review of 1960 at Osbourn. CONTENTS Administration. Faculty....... Seniors....... Juniors....... Sophomores. . . Freshmen. . . . Junior High Organizations . Athletics..... Activities. . . . Advertisements. Throughout our years at Osbourn, Mrs. Anne Elliott has illustrated to us by precept and example how to be honest, co-operative and Christian individuals. As frightened eighth-graders, Mrs. Elliott helped us to become the diligent workers that we must be to succeed as students in high school. The years progressed and Mrs. Elliott assumed the task of making us Latin scholars. Although few achieve , a Latin honors, all enjoyed the class and learned more than the principal pa s of porto. Because we are sincerely grateful to Mrs. Elliott for the immense contributions she has made to our lives, and because we shall always love and respect her, we dedicate this 1960 Hi-Jacket to Mrs. Anne Elliot. 6 As we look back on our years at Osbourn High School, one teacher shall always stand out in our memory—Mr. Richard C. Sloop. In the classroom, Mr. Sbop has taught us math and science as eighth graders, and algebra, physics, trigonometry, and solid geometry as upper classmen. But he has taught us much more—the desire to strive for the highest in all that we do, and to prepare ourselves as fully as possible to meet the future. Whether on the football field, in the classroom, or walking down the hall with us, his friendly interest and his own high standards have been constant encouragement to us. As we shall long admire and revere him, the annual staff honors Mr. Richard C. Sloop in the 1960 Hi-Jacket. r OUR PRINCIPAL The chair of the principalship brings many fine moments to the occupant. It is my pleasure again to be afforded the opportunity to convey a few words to the student body of Osbourn High School through the medium of your distinguished annual. Your most important goal should be to live your life in happy moods. My very firm belief is that your true happiness wil be found by diligent application of several basic premises. Paramount of these is your acceptance of and an inward belief in God. If you possess this belief, your outward and visible expressions will be manifest not only to yourself, but for all of your associates. An awareness of infinity is immediately a proud and cherished reality. From the acquisition of this first and most important premise, your whole structure of positive being is quite easily recognized. You will find: love for others and acceptance of fellow members of society are natural consequences; physical and mental self-discipline is no longer a task; there is no place in your heart for malice; your enjoyment of life is continuous; you are not capable of fear for the unknown; the dawn of each |day brings an exciting challenge which you are equipped to meet; rest at nightfall is complete,- Satisfactions of a job well done are of more value than monetary rewards; service to your fellow man is an ingredient of life; approval by others is a stimulation to ardent service,-ideals are not fanciful nor are they theoristic,- progress and attainments in worth-while living are normal expectations; there is never a desire to escape from yourself; living with yourself is pleasurable and not a vain existence; your family is your most valuable and cherished material possession; When you experience these -revelations, you will be true personalities of life,-the most worthy of all mankind. May the years which pass with certainty bring these findings to you. 8 ADMINISTRATION MR. STUART BEVILLE Superintendent of Schools I Osbourn High School is indeed priviledged to be connected with an administration as excellent as that one of Prince William County. From the Superintendent of Schools through the office staff of Osbourn High School, a job worthy of the highest praise has been done to provide students with adequate facilities and a pleasant school atmosphere. MR. CLAUDE DeHAVEN, Director of Instruction MR. JOSEPH TOASTIE, Administrative Assistant MRS. FLORENCE GUE, School Nurse MRS. JOHN HOPPE Secretary OFFICE STAFF MR. JAMES LEO, Assistant Principal The fine office staff of Osbourn kept the school running smoothly and pleasantly. Through trouble and happiness, we looked to them for guidance and received it. Mr. Leo's activities never went unnoticed and his contributions were many. Mrs. Hoppe's kind helpfulness was known to all, as was Miss Langford's friendly interest and accurate guidance. Mrs. Elliott was the unfailing guide of the eighth graders, assisting them in their orientation to high school. We realize how much we owe them all. I MRS. T.

SENIOR CLASS Not so long ago, we the Class of '60 entered the doors of Osbourn in great anticipation of the five big years that were ahead. And now those five years have quickly passed and through the pages of this annual we hope to recall some of the best mertpories of these few years together before we cross the passageway to the world of adults. Throughout our eighth grade year we prepared ourselves for real high school, met new people, and eagerly awaited the time when we too would have special privileges for a year and after all was over, receive our diplomas with the steadying hand of maturity. During our freshman year friendships started were cemented as more parties and activities were beginning. By our sophomore year, we had become a big part of the school and we started raising money for the big events of the last two years. Sophomore year brought our first big money-making dance when we gave the Prom Hangover. The Prom was no longer a far off thing when we entered our junior year and busily made arrangements for the big event. Some of the highlights were the elections, to see who from our class would be president of the student body, and the Sadie Hawkin's Day Dance, and then the big plans went into effect. In May the gym blossomed forth as a palace fit for Cinderella herself. And now we have reached our senior year with Homecoming and the senior Queen, the Beauty Con-test, the Senior Play, and last of all—graduation week activities. Now go with us as we review these activities and more on the following pages 20 Susan Mary Arrington Braynard Thomas Busey Patricia Ann Aylor Brenda Lee Carlton Minerva Rose Bailey Walter Edward Carlton William Willis Bradford Wayne Carlton Carter .• 4 ■ ■ Barbara Ann Cebula Wade Emerson Corbin Picture Not Available ■ Linda Leigh Champion Esther Virginia Cornwell Judith Marie Clark Vernard Elias Crouch Katherine Lynn Cook Elizabeth Martha Czapp Roy Allen Davis Lindsay Lee Dawson John Michael Day Melba Sue DeBoard Wayne George DeCristofaro Valendia Mae Ebhardt Ruth Marie Epling Thomas Arthur Fletcher The seniors have come a long way during the past twelve years and have shared many wonderful memories.

S.C.A. does much to keep our school life running smoothly, doing their utmost for Osbourn. The main project of the S.C.A. this year was Osbourn's first exchange student. Other important projects were the Big-Brother-Big-Sister guidance program for the 8th graders, and the magazine drive. These projects were some of those successfully accomplished to make this memorable for us. THE OFFICERS WHO LED THE S.C.A. THROUGH I960 are as follows: Katie McGlothin, Stenographer; Scott Winfield, President; Carol Kriesel, Secretary; Chuck Hesse, Vice President; and John Hoppe, Parliamentarian.

The Hi-Jacket is the product of a great deal of hard work done by the staff which was chosen from the entire student body. Through its pages we re-live the experiences which are to mold our memories for the coming years. As the year progressed, our photographers and editors kept busy assembling the years events to be highlighted in the Hi-Jacket. Room 106 was the scene of clicking typewriters, smudged “dummies ' and rushed copies. Ads were faithfully sold to assure financial success. Finally, the combined efforts of a conscientious staff and a year's hard work culminated in a yearbook which we hope you will enjoy. Sports editors Leana Kruse, Effie Fries, and Carolyn Throneburg pour over pictures and last year's annual looking for ideas. 63 YELLOW JACKET THE DILIGENT STAFF IN THE NEWSPAPER ROOM - Judy Stauffer, Miss Adams, Sue Hook, Donna Bird, Ronnie Horan, Werner Rohrs, Ann Parks, Pam Johnson, Frances Nicholoson, Mabel Lou Wakeman, Jean Roseberry, Sandra Skewes, Barbara Cebula, Betty Czapp, Janet Lanier, Pat Gooding, Pat Aylor, Evelyn Merchant, Mollie Wilson, Carolyn Draper, Diana Dyer, Charles Thomas.

In that mysterious little room, 1 10, the sponsor. editors, and reporters worked day and night creating the Yellow Jacket. Writing features, editorials, and planning the layouts labeled the staff real newspapermen. Time was their greatest obstacle; work their greatest asset, and a finished copy of the Yellow Jacket their greatest satisfaction.

The purpose of this organization is to recognize and encourage excellence in the four principles of the Society-character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Members collected money for TB, sold tickets to a concert by John Thomas Covelli, and planned a movie for the last days of school.

They gave their all, improving with every game. The results of their practice and the experience they gained will be seen more and more as they advance to the Varsity squad. These peppy girls, young or small though they might have been, were full of vim and vigor and a great inspiration to the junior varsity teams. While the Junior Varsity was practicing in one hall the Eighth Grade Cheerleaders were adding their voices to .the din from another hall. They worked long and hard to overcome their complete inexperience. Their great enthusiasm helped them to quickly become more sure of themselves in backing up the eighth grade teams. These are the girls who will one day cheer the Varsity on to victory or support them in defeat.

The Jackets began the '59 season with each position filled by a letterman. Although many of the returning had not been regulars the previous season, all had received enough experience to aid them considerably. The season proved to be an unusual one in that the Yellow Jackets and the school officials thought this would be Osbourn's final year in Group II. No one realized the Jackets had already been voted out of Group II. As a result of these proceedings, the Osbourn team felt ineligible for Group I or II and received such pseudonyms as Bandits, Outlaws, and Manassas Maulers. Loss of the first game to Lee High School appeared to prophesy a long, bleak season for Osbourn, but the amazing Jackets rebounded with great stamina. Following a string of six victories, the team met its most powerful opponent—Wakefield. The Jackets played their best game of the season, one of the finest Osbourn has produced in recent years. The success must be directed to the fact that the coach and team desired 1959 to be the most outstanding Osbourn has ever had. BACK ROW: Cornwell, Lane, Cox, Melton, Harris.

The team met outstanding opponents in the Group I schools, and as a result they have gained better sportsmanship and ability, even though the scoreboard did not always indicate a win. The most thrilling game of the year was the Jackets' 54-52 win over J. E. B. Stewart. This was the teams first Group I victory.

The addition of an eighth grade track team, under the guidance of Coach Hoppe, is one of these advancements. Not only do eighth grade sports prove a link to greater varsity teams, but they aid the ideals of sportsmanship. Osbourn is very proud of her first eighth grade track team's record. Osbourn 45 Herndon 45 Coach and Captain CHUCK GANTOS PAUL CASTLE ACTIVITIES During the Osbourn High School year, many have helped contribute many interesting features to the student's life. We find illustrated on this page several examples of how the hands of the junior class developed from a vacant and cold gymnasium, a warm and enthusiastic place for the Junior-Senior Prom. In the upper left-hand corner we find Cinderella about to descend to the dance floor. In the upper right-hand corner we find Cinderella's ball- room being enjoyed by such people as David Bond, Linda Lightner, Jane Kennedy, Barbara Libeau, Susan Arrington, and Leana Kruse. Be-fore the evening of dancing began, Cinderella's ballroom showed the handiwork of the juniors in the picture of the ballroom in the lower left-hand corner. But before the evening was over, a crowded ballroom was evidenced by the enthusiasm shown in the illustrated picture in the lower right-hand corner. Our school has many activities. Another feature so vividly illustrated on this page we find our Homecoming of 1959. In the upper left-hand corner we find the entire court with her majesty. Queen Linda Pendelton, with her ladies in waiting Leslie Gearhart, Charlotte Smith, Sharon Leith, Lois Smith, Connie Epling, and Ada Kelly. Many hands were raised in praise to her majesty Queen Linda, as shown in the right hand corner. Osbourn was duly proud of her Homecoming Queen. The bitter weather was evident and strong winds were felt as illustrated in the picture of the queen and her escort. During half-time ceremonies, in the lower left corner, hands of fellowship were united. After the cold weather of the football game, everyone advanced to the cafeteria to participate in the Homecoming Dance. The hands of the cheerleaders, with the band in the background, represents the good time enjoyed by all new eighth graders in the fall during the eighth party. Osbourn's eighth grade party has been noted to encourage fellowship among eighth graders. Other activities to bring students closer together during the year are illustrated by the concert of Mr. Cavalli. Mr. Cavalli, hands, upon the piano on which he expertly performed for the entertainment of the community and school, de- monstrated that besides reading, writing, and arithmetic, social activities of various cultural phases are included in the school curriculum. In the lower left part, we find Dennis Mangum presenting to the Honor Society, Roger Haynes, a candidate for membership. Another assortment of the many features at Osbourn, we have a General Motors Assembly as demonstrated by the three girls in the lower right hand corner Karyl Smith, Judy Gowl, and Ann DeBoard. One of the main features of Osbourn seems to be the constant cheering for athletic teams by our cheerleaders who seem never to tire in their efforts to boost on our teams. A new sport originating in Osbourn for the first time in 1959-1960 was wrestling. In the upper corner Roger Haynes and Alfred Burer wrestle under the sponsorship and supervision of Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer has developed the team this year and hopes to go on to greater goals in the future. An important part of our life as a student was supporting activities at the side-lines. Some enthusiastic fans were Lynn Gnadt, Bobby Thomas, Wade Corbin, Dale Ramsey, and Linda Lightner. In the lower left hand corner we find disc-jockeys, Franklin and Sawyer, about to push the button to get the dance rolling. Many a dance has been a success partly because of Mr. Franklin behind the record player. Activities where hands played a big part is the work of the Yearbook, as is illustrated here by Linda Champion as she examines and edits pictures for the High-Jacket publication, working long into the afternoon. In the hands of these bus drivers lay the responsibility of carefully transporting the students to and from school. Many a cold morning these student drivers ventured forth through rain and snow to bring the students safely to school. An important feature which keeps Osbourn attractive is the custodians. With difficulty in tracking the busy workers down, our cameraman could only find one who was still long enough to be photographed. I Woodworking of Osbourn is illustrated by Ray German, Ken Cox, Paul Castle, and two unidentified craftsmen. Many activities and projects involving shopwork were featured in the days of the Osbourn boys. Some very important hands were those of the cafeteria workers which supplied the nourishment that kept us going. Here we find our hamburgers being prepared for lunch. A feature vivid in the memories of most students is study hall. The hands of the teachers Mr. Brent and Miss Nelson, sixth period study hall with approximately two hundred sixty-five students, tried to make this a worth-while study time. In our science department we find students such as, Carolyn Brewster and Mary Burt Broaddus, demonstrating a skill of chemical experimentation. Time for relaxation is shown with the dance band that provided many moments of enjoyment. Here in the lower left hand corner is the dance band during rehearsal. Around Osbourn the school mascot, Johnnie was a friend of all and a big part of the spirit of Osbourn. Our photographer caught Johnnie in a rare situation, trying to find out some important fact. Johnnie was and always will be found where ever a sporting event takes place. The hand of Mr. Altman is here being lifted to lead the chorus during rehearsal. We find also the hands of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Leo who guided us on our road of education and helped us enjoy our school life. To these we give our wholehearted thanks for their leadership. We also are greatly thankful to Mr- Byrd and Mr. Miller whose devoted hands made this year book possible. Our deepest appreciation goes to them for the great amount of time and effort they put into making the 1960 a success. We find also, the hands of Mr. Leo and Mr. Murphy directed to the schools major task of scheduling for next year. Through these pairs of hands, we find our life at Osbourn have helped us to enjoy our school life and to be guided in the proper road of education. To these hands, we give our thanks for their leadership. ADVERTISERS HOUSTON AND WOOD CONSTRUCTION CO., INC.
