Our opponents differ from those of our forefathers but the governing principle is equal. Recalling the visions of the Civil War we may be proud of the battle our predecessors fought to preserve their ideals. May we prove ourselves worthy of the heritage as we continue our battles of life. 2 v • swkmcuoni«u CONTENTS Dedication 4 In Memoriam 5 Administration 6 Faculty 9 Senior - 17 Junior 33 Sophomore 39 Freshman 45 Eighth Grade 51 Organizations 57 Activities 87 Athletics 95 Advertisements - 123 In the records of mankind may be found the acclaimed leaders of the world, each a soldier on his own particular battlefield. Material and spiritual structures have been dedicated to these men who attempted to provide something for the betterment of people. The students of 1961 wish to dedicate their annual to a teacher whom they will never be able to erase from their memory. Her image will always portray the sternness and precision of a general, the kindness of a friend, the cheerfulness of a schoolmate, the individuality of Thoreau, and the sincerity of a great teacher. Not one of her students will forget the frown on her face, the stares from her eyes, or the grip on her swagger stick as she responds to a question with the word, possibly. This 1961 Hi-Jacket is dedicated to Miss Tanya Anderson with the great appreciation and respect she has earned from her students and acquaintances. IN MEMORIAM largaret Patricia Bayne a late member of tlie class of 1%1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God believe also in me. In my father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know and the way ye know. Peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. St. John 1-4, 27 Mr. Stuart Beville Superintendent of Schools Mr. Claude DeHaven Director of Instruction We at Osbourn High School are indebted to the Administration for their work towards elevating our educational standards. The Administration is one of the most respected groups in our educational community. Always keeping our youth in mind, they afford us a strong and constant source for aid and guidance. Though the Administration is not seen by all the students, without its service the county schools would not run as smoothly and flawlessly as they do, indeed they would scarcely function as institutions of knowledge without the supervision of a staff such as they have. For this immeasurable dedication, the annual staff salutes and thanks the county administration. Mr. Joseph Toastie Administrative Assistant Mr. William R. Murphy, Principal THE PRINCIPAL A year has quickly passed and I find that it is time once again for you to receive your school annual, a record of pleasant memories which you will carry with you through your life. While you have been at Osbourn you have experienced a variety of pleasures as well as a share of seemingly insurmountable barriers. As time passed you found that barriers were easily overcome by the passage of time, application of your abilities and by the confidence and self determination which heretofore had been latent. So your obstacles overcome were joyous moments also. Perhaps your new experiences in conquering problems gave you more of a sense of elation because you found that you had ability which, until this time, was undiscovered. This is true all through life when hopes are dimmed, the future seems bleak and horizons seem limited. Face the future with a calm determination that you will succeed. It is true that time heals, but it is also a maxim that the inner self is capable of meeting challenges when it is called upon to do so, and the personal drive which was once an unknown is perpetuated as a continuous standard restored by other hidden capabilities which may be called upon in the future. I feel that the school has given you the tools with which to open the doors to an abundant life. The only thing that I would ask of you is to provide for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but in the sight of men.

HARRY LEE Physical Education MISS POLLY JANE PAYNE Physical Education Little did the new eighth graders realize when they decorated the cafeteria for their first dance, the Harvest Moonshine, that they would be the first Senior Class to have to cope with the problems of decorating the National Guard Armory for the Junior-Senior Prom. Under capable guidance and with hard work, the students turned the Armory into a Hawaiian Isle. Several students and groups of students of the Class of '61 have been essential in helping to foster and to establish new traditions in Osbourn. This class will always remember that it was the first to have a member go abroad through the American Field Service program. From the midst of the Senior Class came the first student from Osbourn to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Boys' State. Also during their tenure at Osbourn, many other firsts have been achieved in the areas of curricular and extra-curricular activities. As the above ideas have materialized, they have made the Senior Class of 1961 a class to remember. Therefore, let the students of Osbourn review some of the most memorable events.

During the Civil War, the United States was a divided country. It was only through unity that success could have been achieved. This year the Student Co-operative Association has had the support of the student body and the faculty in reaching its goal of successful leadership. The Senate (below) and the Council (above), elected by the student body, strive to use their offices for the benefit of the school. Among the many S.C.A. projects are the annual magazine campaign, the Foreign Exchange-Americans Abroad programs, and the Big-Brother, Big Sister orientation program. Also, the Senate has been responsible for the homecoming festivities. These projects have been outstanding due to the efforts of the S.C.A. throughout the years.

Editor, Carolyn Throneburg, and assistant editor, Effie Fries, have worked directly with Mr. Franklin to create the 1961 Hi-Jacket. The duties of the staff sponsor, Mr. Robert Franklin, have been far from simple. His tireless leadership has resulted in a factual yearbook. HI-JACKET STAFF The yearbook photographer, Leonard Owens, has supplied the staff «with a history in pictures of the 1960-61 school year. Ellen Robbins and Mary Mulholland had the difficult task of organ- Mabel Lou Wakeman, Ronnie Greenberg, and Lila Williams had izing the classes section. the task of contributing to the yearbook a review of the school's organizations and activities. Carolyn Brewster, typist. If the door to room 106 should suddenly be opened during an afternoon of almost any day, the visitor would see the combined work of the yearbook staff. Under the faithful supervision of the sponsor, the Hi-Jacket staff has labored through dozens of layouts, hundreds of pictures, copy sheets, and typewriter work. The results of this work should provide an enjoyable history of a year's memories. Connie Russert, Gary Collins, and Viola Vorhauer were the sports editors for this year's annual. The entire staff includes: Mrs. Wilson, Teresa Mathias, Dana White, Vickie Brown, Janet Lanier, Linda Geris, Lynn Anstine, Charlotte Breeden, Miss Stokes, Ann Leo, Doug Wilhide, Hayes Haydon, Tom Bradford, Sue Hook, and Tom Akers. STUDENT JOURNALISTS Donna Bird, fashion editor; Charlotte Breeden and Peggy Hoffman, feature editors; Lynn Anstine, feature writer. Tom Akers and Gary Collins, editorials. Throughout the years of America's history, newspapers have played an important role in keeping people informed of world affairs. The Yellow Jacket has a similar task of publicizing school activities and student achieve- ments. The members of the staff combine their efforts in writing news stories, features, and informative editorials to produce some of the best issues of the paper for the school.

In the hundred years since the Civil War, amazing scientific history has been made. But no matter how much progress in this field is achieved, extensive science study is always encouraged. The members of the Science Club are all taking some type of science course and they work to promote science in the school. The planning and conducting of the annual Science Fair has been the biggest job of the club.

CAROLEE GEARHART KARYl SMITH BEVERLY HAMMOND CHEERLEADERS Charm, vitality, popularity, and good sportsmanship are among the many assets of the eight varsity cheerleaders. Their undying support of our Yellow Jackets at all the major sports competitions has greatly influenced the spirit of the student body and the players. Students and faculty members are always sure of seeing the cheerleaders in action, and it is quite possible that they would hear the girls' victory chants throughout the school. CAROLE KRIESEL LOUISE MULLER ADA KELLY PAT KELLY, captain All for Osbourn stand up and holler. Pep rallies held before football games, this year, were an excellent way to teach cheers and raise the spirits of the students for the support of the team. Once again, the cheerleaders displayed their talent in leading the various cheers. The cheerleaders have sponsored several dances, and they also have made pom-poms. MISS JOHNSON, sponsor. Colorful pom-poms made by the girls were used at rallies. ANN DeBOARD, co-captain. Eighth grade cheerleaders (standing, left to right): Carolyn Hammond, Vivian Semones, Christine Wineholt.

Following closely in the footsteps of the varsity cheerleaders are the junior varsity girls. The junior varsity athletes of today may very well be the victorious stars of next year and they need the tireless support of the J.V. cheerleaders. The eighth grade cheerleaders, as their big sisters, do not neglect their job as the eighth grade team supporters. In addition, these girls are always on hand to sell megaphones or pompoms at the games. The O.H.S. Marching Band. Entertaining at the Christmas program was the school's band. Through various activities during this year, the music makers of Osbourn have gained prestige as one of the most outstanding organizations of the school.

At the 1960 Manassas Christmas parade, some Osbourn students participated by riding a float representing Peace on Earth sponsored by the shopping center. During the football season, the Swaverly Field stadium was the scene of hundreds of Osbourn students who were out to support their team and to have a good time. Hawaii provided the theme for the 1960 Junior-Senior Prom. Palm trees at the ballroom entrance swayed with the outdoor breeze while the students and faculty danced under silver stars. Silhouettes and murals of Hawaiian scenes, fish nets around the walls, and palm trees bordering the dance floor completed the exotic theme. The student body and faculty have had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of school assemblies which provided them with informative reports on school activities. Pictured on this page are the Awards Assembly of last spring, and an S.C.A. assembly. The awards pictures show Miss M. Justice presenting Johnny Downs with the Soroptomist citizenship award. Also, Carolyn Throneburg and Roger Haynes received underclassmen citizenship awards, Effie Fries was awarded a citation for her outstanding achievements in sports, and Ken Lane was awarded a citation for his sports achievements. The students who participated in the S.C.A. assembly reported on the Boys' and Girls' State conventions, the Summer Workshop program, and the Northern Virginia District S.C.A.

At Osbourn, as well as at most high schools in the state, football is one of the major sports. Students and adults alike become aroused by the chanting, cheering, and singing while enthusiastically following the movements—the gains and losses—of their men on the field. Whether they are stimulated by the crisp autumn air, the individual personalities who wear the jerseys, or genuine interest in the game makes little difference. The actual outcome of the game affects the morale of the whole school, but, even so, it fails to be as important and influential as the spirit and skill with which the game was played and viewed. This thought is worth remembering as the Yellow Jackets prepare for the coming season. BANDAGE BRIGADE: Managers, Bob Swayer, Johnny Downs, and Tom Tirella. And all fall down. You tell 'em, ref.'

Lacking height in inches, the team is tall in its endeavors. Each year brings new improvements as Osbourn basketball stiffens to the tougher competition of the Group I schools.

Quick reflexes and unflagging energy are qualities of this sport. Osbourn is moving ahead in development of this sport os it is gaining background in ail its sports.

Coaches Welker and Parker used foresight in combining the eighth grade and the original junior varsity teams into one consolidated group. The total efforts and skill of the members of this working unit proved durable and successful in the contest against Fairfax. The team should encounter even greater victories in '61. Three runners wait for the signal from Coach Parker. COACHES WELKER AND PARKER. RICHMOAT j SCHEDULE Home Opponent Osbourn 54 Fairfax 46 As Soumerners the memory of our heritage will haunt us throughout our lives. As students and graduates of Osbourn, the memory of our experiences will also haunt us throughout our lives. We can return to this past life only by remembering. By visualizing through pictures, life can never be lost. We shall not be able to forget the happy and the depressing moments, the thrills, and the friendship we have encountered together. The many dances we have attended together will perhaps protrude from our thoughts as s 5me of the most enjoyable hours. The most popular dance for the entire student body is the Homecoming Dance. On this page are photo- graphs of it in the fall of 1960. In the top picture is the most well-known student at O.H.S. this year— Siri Normark, our exchange student from Sweden. She is sitting between Gary Collins and her date, John Riddick. Below that picture we find Hilda Whetzel and her date, Hayes Haydon and Jean Reedy, and James Shetterly and Queen Charlotte (Smith). James also appears in the photo displaying one of his famous poses. At the bottom of the page. Senior princess Carolyn Throneburg and Travis Curd and Billy Foley and Carol Ann Shearin contribute to our pictorial account of the evening. In the top picture on page 121 members of the faculty—Charlie Wildman, James Stout, and Bob Brinkly—share in the pleasures of the Homecoming atmosphere. The snapshot directly below that one pictures Teddy Fecteau, Glennie Stith, and Marilyn Briggs. At the bottom of this page is a view o the major portion of the group which attended the dance. The photo in the center of the page js one of importance. It illustrates one of the activities the SCA sponsored for the exchange students in Northern Virginia during 1960. In the center is a face familiar to everyone at Osbourn— that of Werner Rohrs, last year's exchange student from Germany. Life at Osbourn includes many phases, other than dances. From left to right and top to bottom we find seniors Johnny Down, Roger Haynes, and • Ross Leith investigating Johnny's class picture. Next, Benny Brumback, Charlotte Smith, Dan Dyer, Shelvy Buhl, and Siri Normack enjoy themselves before morning classes begin. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Welker were familiar sights at the football games. Fun in the halls is illustrated by Doris Weimer; Janet Collins, Bonnie Vetter, John Downs, and Wanda Carter; and ?Cook, Doug Dotson, and Chuck Hesse.
