DAG Marry WCU 7329 Chestnu® Puen Buena Vista, VA es 2G Parry McCluer High School 2329 Chestnut Avenue Buena Vista, Virginia 24416 Table of Contents Throughout the 1973-74 season Parry McCluer has gone through many changes. Included in these is the first year of the quarter system. In most cases it has been accepted as a step in the progression of our school and in others nothing more than a schedule which in- cludes three examination periods rather than two. This year we were honored with new faces among our faculty members. These new teachers brought with them a sincere interest in the student and pro- vided us with new and youthful mem- bers for their support and guidance. Student Life Underclass interests in activities grew this year. These Are The Good Times nor a P With the new combination lockers the students | With the hectic academic schedules there was still enough time during the day for socializing and felt their belongings were more secure. fun. The many clubs offered this year provided the students with numerous activities and interests. Perhaps the one club which grew more and of- fered more to Parry McCluer and our community was the 74 Drama Club. The interest and enthusiasm which was evident in this group created an excited atmosphere throughout the entire school. Their interests, enthusiasm and HARD- WORK paid off on May 24-25 with the successful production of “Cactus Flower”. Still other clubs continued to ex- cell in excellence, included in these is the Marching Blues and the FBLA. Both of these organizations contin- ued to bring pride to Parry McCluer and the community. However other clubs and organi- zations also made important contri- butions to Parry McCluer. Organiza- tions such as the Pep Club and the Monogram Club along with the cheerleaders attempted to arouse the spirit of the students of P.M. throughout the year. They provided skits and other forms of entertain- ment at pep rallies as some methods of reaching the students. There are many clubs at Parry McCluer, to many to mention here, and each one throughout the year has given something to Parry McCluer no matter how small, to make it a better place. et = — a + %e os Nae OS: - This is the reason the 1974 Parri- mac is dedicated to the students of Parry McCluer, for your willingness to make P.M. a place in which to be proud. Although some organizations are not as well known among the stu- dents it is our challenge to you the students to make all the organiza- tions along with sports at Parry McCluer strong and supportive of a common goal. That goal is the dig- nity and pride of Parry McCluer High School.

Memories of good times. Memories that sometimes bring pain. It seems like only yesterday We teased at her shortness Giggled at her taped eyeglasses But we taunted each other into friendships. She always made time to help When we never did. Did she want too much? We thought so— then. But how did we know her time would run out. Four years have come and gone Since she ran out of time We now look to greater goals.

The air was cold, spectators were numer- ous and spirits were high which created the perfect homecoming at- mosphere. The Rebels proved to be too tough for the Blues and Rock- bridge went home victorious. Parry McCluer did not let this defeat ruin the happy Homecoming spirit. The dance afterward was sponsored by the cheerleaders and turned out to be a nice end to Homecoming. The Senior girls nominated for Homecoming Queen were: Karen Scott, escorted by Johnny Fauber, Mitzi Pelter, escorted by Phillip Steele, Sharon Tyree, escorted by Randy Bare. The football team se- lected Karen Scott as the 1973 Homecoming Queen and she was crowned at halftime. The Junior Class attendant was: Marlene Sandidge, escorted by Gary Truslow.

The theme was “Dancing in the Moonlight” and the band was “Iron Horse”. The music was well suited for the occasion and most people thor- oughly enjoyed it. The music of Iron Horse made the evening worthwhile. One To Remember 59 ...

This year’s Honors Course under the direction of Reverend and Mrs. McDermott, made a study of “You and the World Today.” Time Maga- zine was furnished to the students to be used as textbooks.

The club was able to gain its recognition and organization. This year, enthusiastically led by Mrs. Guire, the participants earnestly worked for numer- ous championships. There were girls and boys original oratory; girls and boys prose reading; girls and boys poetry read- ing; girls and boys extemporaneous speaking; and spelling classes. First of all, there was an intramural competition. The winners from that went to the district meet which happened to be hosted by Parry McCluer. From there Margaret Clay Morris, Phil Steele, Randy Gatzke, and Mark Creasy advanced to the regional meet. Phil Steele and Mark Creasy emerged victoriously from regionals, which headed them for the state meet. Phil Steele won a third place in that com- petition.

The band provided the music necessary for “de- lightful dancing!” 77 PEP CLUB The pep club stayed very active this year. The halls were filled with their “spirit signs” which supported the “Fighting Blues” football, basketball, baseball and track teams. The pictures on this page can prove that much hard work went into these signs. Skits were designed and performed at various pep rallies through the year to support the Blues. The club also sponsored a “Mr. Pretty Legs Contest” this year. It proved to be a very competitive event and the cov- eted title was won by Mike Flint. Bottoms Up! Row 1: Pres.—MarVita Flint, V.

The whole staff should be complimented for the great job they did in faithfully publishing our school newspaper. 5.A.S. The Students Associated for Ser- vice brightened up the school around Christmas time by decorating a Christmas tree in the library. This year for the first time Parry McCluer . held a Career Day. Men and women of different professions and_busi- nesses were invited to come talk to students who were interested in their field. Members of the S.A.S. assisted in this endeavor by serving as guides. “ CAREER DAY UESDAY JAN. 29 80 ° “— Aa ut A So e | ¥ + Row 1: Jill Cropp, Mitzi Pelter, Julie Harris, Joan Fabrizio, Mark Hamric.

The sun and heat were re- lentless but the boys practiced as if it were not even there. The opening of school was a relief of some sort, now practices were restricted to after school. Nevertheless all coaches found excellent uses for that short while often stretching it far into dusk. “= -_ Seniors: Ist. Row: Greg Cash, Tim Hill, Mike Morrison, Keith Barger, 2nd Row: Tonto Chittum, Mark Smith, Billy Agnor, Ralph Slagle, Terry Edwards Sometimes football is a lonely game. 88 This season was a rebuilding one for the Blues. Not having the big men of the previous years, they had to concen- trate on speed, agility and playing to- gether as a team. This was Coach Coleman’s first year as head coach and he proved his ability as he and the other coaches molded the Blues into a team of merit. Although the season yielded to some disappointments, the team did give us many fine moments of excellant ball and good sportmanship and we're proud of them. Good work Blue Football Team!

The whole season the boys worked on fundementals as well as the all impor- tant Team effort. By the last game the team was functioning as a well oiled machine and we feel sure that the expe- rience gained is going to show up next year in the best Varsity Squad ever! Coach Turner in action. 91 Girls Squad: Ist Row: Cindy Brockenbrough, Pam Wallace, Janice Carter, Kim Moran, Joan Fabrizio 2nd Row: Theresa Jackson, Coach Alvine, Francine Jackson, Leatrice Martin, Martha Vance, Raenita Jackson, Rita Carter The girls basketball team, now in _ its second year has shown everyone that they are capable of shooting, passing, and dribbling but most of all: winning. Pride in our girls was evident when at the end of their sea- son they had earned the runner-up trophy for the district. Janice Carter stood out for the Blue team by scoring a total of 419 points for the season, an average of 29.1 points per game. She is a mem- ber of the all-district squad and high scorer for the district. Coach Lynne Alvine who harped on the basics and on team unity was very proud of the squad and thought they played steadily and with con- centrated effort. We at Parry McCluer no longer doubt the existence of our girls team and look forward with pleasure to the next season when we plan to sup- port them all the way to the district championship. Girls Prove Themselves Janice, on her way to 419! Miss Alvine in one of her calmer moments. CROSS COUNTRY ADDS NEW LOOK Girls Squad: Coach Jim Barnes, Jill Cropp, Janice Carter, Charlotte Hedrick, Leatrice Martin, Janet Conner Only in its second year, Cross country got a new look in the 73-74 season as once again the girls at Parry McCluer decided to get a piece of the action. Coached by Jim Barnes they added new dimension and color to the meets. The boys team did not however let this throw them as they completed another successful year. Kevin Cropp again led the Blues to a runner-up in the state meet, while setting a new state record for himself. Coached by W. D. Ward cross country does not require as much teamwork as concentrated personal effort. The courses are sometimes very rugged and we salute the boys who take the time to make our cross country team what it is. 93 Cross Country Team: Ist Row: Richard Wagner, Kevin Cropp, Barnes, Mike Flint (mgr.), Coach Ward, Tony Black idl a al Kevin, a senior, will be sorely missed. : Blues on Their Way Up Such good friends! District Champs!!! Seniors: Mark Templeton, Ricky Douglas, Greg Cash, Tony Black, Mark Smith, Randy Bare, Paul Watts 95 Blues Greg and Paul never got tired of cutting nets. Students at Parry McCluer can say with fierce pride: We're number 1! All of us own the 1973 ’74 basketball team a great deal of gratitude for clos- ing up our ranks and unifying us into a single minded army of school spirit and pride. At the beginning of the season every- one saw great potential but we doubt anyone had an idea of how great. Fighting Blue Team fought on and on conquering new armies in every land. We are regular season champs, dis- trict champs, regional champs, and then we were into the state semi-finals. When the final buzzer sounded, sure, we were dissappointed but nothing could take away the victories we had won and we're proud to say that the whole school was behind our team 100% through every victory and espe- cially in our defeat. Powell Valley may have awaken us from our dream of a state championship but they haven’t stopped us from dreaming.

Track meets are a unique expe- rience not only for the performers but for the spectators. By the time a meet is over the @ people who only wanted to be in- 4 nocent bystanders are a wreck! It is impossible to stand there.° Little by little you are drawn closer to the track and each time one of “our” boys runs by your voice gets a little hoarser. I guess track affects one in this manner because it is such. a com- pletely individual sport. Here is an example of true sportsmanship, each member of the squad runs, jumps, and throws with every- thing he has got in order that the team may flourish. Our hats are off to the members of the track squad for their ex- cellent performances and dedication. Danny pours it on!!! 100 Wrestling Asks for Attention J.V. Wrestling team: Row 1: O'Connell, David Kunzman, This year wrestling entered its sec- ond year. Coach Coleman was very disappointed in the lack of student support. In an effort to spark up the interest he gave each student in the high school a complementary ticket to the P.M. vs. Liberty wrestling meet. Naturally many students took this advantage and from then on there was no need to talk up wrestling. All students listened eagerly to hear meet results and more than a few went around quoting statistics and giving technical accounts of who pinned who and so on. Wrestling is a controlled, calcu- lating game and it is a pleasure to watch the quick cat-like grace which the boys on the team display. Fans always go away confident that they have seen a superb show of athletic ability but the fans go away totally satisfied when the P.M. team has wrestled another to defeat. Finally, wrestling is getting its much deserved attention and we can assure the coaches and team both; the Parry McCluer fans are eagerly awaiting another superb season!

Coach Ward is “Down in the _ infield”, bellowed Coach Ward and with that Outdoor Track was on its way! All season long the track team com- peted true to form and meet after meet was a runaway. It seems only fitting for them to capture the District Champion- ship and to show considerable strength in both the regional and state meets. Outstanding performers for the Blues were: Kevin Cropp, a senior who could always be counted on for a first in the mile and 880 runs, Kenny Smith a junior who did well in both the running and field events, and Jay Brown, a junior, who turned in excellent performances in the dashes and pole vault. We feel the whole squad deserves congratulations for their individual ef- forts and hope that they continue to provide us with such an entertaining spectator sport. b bap a bes.

Head coach Mike Sams and his assistants, Mike Turner gained a supreme effort from all sixteen team members. Fine individual performaces were turned in by many. Chuck Lewis, in his first year as a Starting pitcher anchored the pitching staff with 7 wins and 2 losses. Fine defensive plays were turned in by Greg Cash, Bruce Black, and Butchie Clark.

Many hours after school were spent not only practicing but planning pep rallies, and making signs for the buses, halls and gym. Whenever there was a lag in school spirit the cheerleaders never wasted a second, and soon we were yelling our heads off and when we threatened to riot they always managed to keep us in control. Thank-you cheerleaders for your tireless ef- forts in building school spirit. Cheerleaders Pause to Collect their thoughts Two thoughts, two faces, two actions. 110 IE Tee eee He .. .

Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Who says the J.V. Cheerleaders don’t do anything? At every event and every where you looked there stood a J.V. squad mem- ber. Always glowing with pep and spirit they sold programs, helped in pep rallies, attended the other sports events, and in ad- dition to their duties they lead the cheers at the girls basketball games. Were sure the J.V. players appreciated the support that was given them, and wel- come this opportunity to recognize the ex- cellent work done by the squad. | Boo Ewald, Debbie Cash, Julie McManama, Joy Henson, Lisa Johnson, Tracy Teague (co-cap- tain), Debbie Floyd (co-captain) What's the buzz?

This is not the greatest yearbook ever put out at P.M. but I am certain that the experi- ence gained from this years trials and downfalls will make our future books much better.
