At Parry McCluer, a place where competition is a tradition, students had fun and still worked hard to maintain a high level of achievement. The end of the decade brought joys, fears and expectations as we welcomed a new year and the challenges it presented. Like high school freshmen and sopho- mores across the state, for some of us, this meant wondering, worrying and finally taking the competency tests. Apprehen- sion was high as students con- sidered the possibilities of the draft being reinstated. Students involved in college boards and other college entrance tests experienced feelings of anxiety as they wondered how they would measure up. In sports the pressure was on us to live up to past perfor- mances. Our varsity football team was the state A champion in 1977. The boys’ basketball teams were struggling to prove themselves despite lack of ex- perienced players. Our. girls’ basketball and volleyball teams were working frantically to come out on top. Everyone was anxi- ously waiting to see how our wrestling team would fare with so many starting freshmen. In- door and outdoor track and golf students wanted desperately to win and to break records pre- viously set. the challenges of holding stu- dents’ interest and providing use- ful services to the school and the community. Along with the rest of society they were constant- ly aware of the fact that most undertakings require money and money had to be earned. The challenges were great but not insurmountable. We are com- petitors and we faced each issue with confidence. We built memor- ies that can never be forgotten. The following pages will reveal that in 1979 Parry McCluer was “A TIME, A PLACE FOR MEMOR- IES Se TAKING THE BUSINESS of ordering class rings seriously, juniors Jeff Kerr and Neal McDaniel listen carefully to instructions.

BREATHER At P.M.H.S. there existed another level to school life. This was not the sports life or any other extra-curricular activity but life between clas- ses. During the time before school students were seen hurriedly finishing due pro- jects, homework and _ taking care of any business. This was considered the time to do such chores. Hardly any- one would think of doing homework at night. It was no secret that endur- ing, meaningful relation- 6 Life Between Classes These relationships were often in view during relaxa- tion and lunch. Couples con- gregated telling each other the latest gossip, recapping the day’s happenings and pledging undying love and devotion, as couples have done since high school be- gan. After school hours began to be as busy as _ regular school hours. — Extra-curri- cular activities were the focal point of this time. Students and jocks alike were seen romping around the _ hall wearing shorts, warm-ups, plus a variety of ‘‘original concoctions”’.

Events like the Three Mile Island Nuc- lear accident and the Jones- town massacre shocked the student body. The ERA gained more re- cognition as people waited to see if Virginia would rat- ify the amendment. Con- sumers became _ concerned and angered at the high price of gas and other related fuels. Interesting news was not always on the national level. New happenings around school included the Girls’ basketball team winning the Regionals, the Parrimac’s all night Disc-O-Thon, and Coach Ellison winning out- standing Young Educator fo the Year. A local resident, Wilford P. Ramsey announced his candidacy for the House of Delegates. Industry was a big topic for students and their fami- lies. Stunzi closed down caus- ing many people to be out of work. Bad news for many families was the fire at the Jane Colby plant. Some employees were laid off at Hermetite but were called back to work promptly. Sports figures and_ their doings caused many people to take note. Athletes like Bjorn Borg and Muhammed Ali were cheered and booed by people in the school. One sport team arousing much enthusiasm was the famous Mid-Atlantic wrestlers. Ricky Steamboat was ‘‘drooled”’ over while Rick Flair was a decided foe of Parry McCluer students. AS THEY PROVIDE ENTERTAINMENT for the audience, Mid-Atlantic wrestlers also raised money for the Fire Department. IN THE COLD RAIN, Varsity cheerleaders put up signs for the Lady Blues before they leave to compete for the Regional title.

Current Events 9 RALLIES CAN BOOST MORALE An exciting part of high school life was pep rallies. The student body crowded into the gym to hear coaches and team captains talk and also to show their — spirit. Cheerleaders performed skits and led cheers with their pom-pom routines. The whole pep rally rose to a pitch as the pep stick was brought out. Students screamed and yelled as they vied for the honor. School spirit pre- vailed as pep rallies closed with the school song. Events —= which students regarded as a ploy to get out of class were assemblies. The most popular kind of assembly was the distribu- tion of awards. Awards were given out for athletic and academic’ superiority. Rec- STANDING FOR THE SENIORS, members of the Sopho- more class wait for a pep rally to begin. IN THE HOMECOMING PARADE, members of the football ognition was also given out to those students who showed improvement, boosted team morale, or contributed to the good of the school. Other assemblies held were the S.C.A. magazine drive, and Parrimac assembly. The arrival of Free Fare, which is fast becoming a tradition at P.M., stirred up much excitement. Students were treated to an assembly where they clapped and sang along with the group. Afterwards, students made plans to go to the concert the following weekend. In th e midst of laughter and much jolliness they heard their favorite songs performed and were inspired by the group’s testi- mony of faith and its rele- vance to our lives. team proclaim their 1 status on the field. 10 Assemblies DURING THE AWARDS ASSEMBLY, Terry Vest and Terry McDaniel give Ms. Alvine various tokens to show their appreciation for her coaching of the varsity Girls Bas- ketball team.

Assemblies 11 iN RATS-EXHAUS TED SENIORS- TRIUMPHANT Hair braids, red lipstick and mismatched shoes were the normal dress code during rat week. Ninth graders were seen on their knees, backs, stomachs and rears, but seldom on their feet. They counted bricks while riding their trucks and they even proposed marriage to the most unlikely candidates. Seniors were out for fun with vengeance. Homework was for- gotten as Seniors spent most of their nights thinking up suit- able stunts for their ‘‘Rats’’ to do. At the end of the three days, the Rats were exhausted and the Seniors were triumphant. Although rat week was set aside mainly for the benefit of Seniors and Freshmen, every- one was invited to participate in Spirit Week. Sophomores and Juniors got into the act by wear- ing their favorite hats and cost- umes as well as traditional blue and white on the designated days. Many smiles were seen around the school as everyone modeled their favorite far-out “Spirit Days’’ outfits. ALTHOUGH PERFORMING AN UNWANTED TASK, Becky Stinnett grins in spite of herself.

SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES: Pam Shields, Maury Byers MISS VEST CROWNED QUEEN The festivities of the '78- '79 Homecoming week started on Wednesday before the game with voting in the home- rooms for the class repre- sentatives. Anticipation grew as students wondered who would be crowned queen and which team would come out the victor in the clash bet- ween Parry McCluer’§ and Staunton River. Voting for the Senior class was so close that two more couples were added to the court. On Thursday, the second annual bonfire-pep rally was held. After the pep rally, the representatives were on their designated floats which were an added attraction. The ninth grade float won first place. Following the parade, a dance was held with music and entertainment provided by Mr. Gravatt. Friday night before’ the game, the band and floats paraded from downtown to the football field. Halftime was highlighted by the crown- ing of Terry Vest as Home- coming Queen. Amidst the Homecoming celebration, the Blues enjoyed a 48-0 victory over Staunton River.

Past styles were not ignored, they were added to. Button-down shirts were made ‘‘chic”’ by knotted scar- ves and Levis were dressed up by gold and silver belts. Comments like ‘‘You have legs’’ were heard as young ladies donned more dresses than in past years. Around the halls and while attending extra-curricular activities students and teach- ers alike were dressed in vests and peasant shirts. Many students decided to go ‘‘preppy”’ as they dressed in wool and corduroy shirts teamed with knee socks. A necessity for everyone's wardrobe was lots of gold and silver jewelry, worn to- gether in many cases. Stick pins were all the rage at the beginning of the year and their popularity lasted throughout the year. Guys were also included in the fashion scene as they dressed in vest and straight legged pants. Popular items for the male population at Parry McCluer were multi- striped belts and suspenders, corduroy jackets and down jackets. GOOD LOOKS COME IN ALL SIZES AND STYLES as Crystal Morrison and Stretch Armstrong dress in the current fashion trend. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL OC- CASION TO DRESS UP as Larry Jones shows in his stylish corduroy jacket.

AT THE SADIE HAWKINS DANCE, Renee Hostetter and Randy Gilbert dance to the music of the Bee Gees. SINGING ALONG is part of the fun as Lil McClung and Eric Staton demonstrate. DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY Something that always pleased the student body was news of an upcoming dance. From the very first sock hop with music provided by WSLQ down to the very ele- gant and sophisticated Prom, Students got down and “‘bo- ogied”’ until 11:30. However, not every dance stopped at this time. For the first time in the history of Parry McCluer an all night dance was_ held. The Disc-o-thon was spon- sored by the Parrimac staff to raise money. Music was provided by Darby Lawhorne and C.E. Floyd. Students danced from 6:00 p.m. until marathon 6:00 a.m. when _ the winners were announced. A very popular dance at Parry McCluer is the Sadie Hawkins dance sponsered by the Sophomores. Students could get hitched and un- hitched to their favorite ‘“‘marriage’’ partner. Bales of hay and = students in old clothes provided the back- ground for this traditional girl-ask-boy dance. Many dances were held in honor of special events. Among these were the Christ- mas Dance and the Ring Dance. At the Ring Dance Juniors had their rings put on their fingers then formed the class figure to dance to ‘‘How Much | Feel’’. A THING CALLED LOVE A favorite pastime at Parry McCluer was the international sport of dating. Couples went to the movies, riding, even “dancing and romancing” These same couples gathered in the halls everyday as they discussed everything from the latest test to who their best friend was now dating. Although some couples were consistant in their love, others had the tendancy to be a little ‘fickle’. These people were more inclined to ‘‘party’’ with everyone else than to stay attached to one person. Love and romance flourish- ed everywhere but some places were more conducive to the mood. Students gave these places quite a reputation as they were commonly known as ‘‘parking’’ areas. Some of these places were: ‘Dinky’, the Parkway, River- view Farm Road, and the ““dump”’. ONE OF MARK BARDIS’ favorite pastime is giving Melissa Wheeler a hard time. 3 DURING LUNCH, Beth Rivers and Phil Hess discuss their plans for the evening. SEARCHING HIS POCKETS, David Floyd tries to find change to buy Sherri Chittum a drink. PLAYING THE CLOWN, Jeff Kerr tells Crystal Morrison a joke that sends her into gales of laughter.

Juniors who’d worked intensely raising money and making plans were excused from class partly on Thursday and all day on Friday. Since the class of '80 has to be out of the gym by 7:00 on Fri- day everyone was rushed put- ting up walls, setting up tables, and just generally making themselves useful. Finally, Saturday arrived. Guys hurried to pick up their TO URGE STUDENTS to ‘‘get down”’, the group ‘‘Sandcastle”’ raises their hands.

ENT tux and flowers while the girls got their hair fixed and made last-minute adjustments to their dresses. Before-prom parties got the students in a jovial mood as the magic hour, 8:00, neared. Once inside, students danced to the music of ‘‘Sandcastle’’. The theme song was ‘‘We’ve Got Tonight.’’ Midnight came but the evening was not at an end. Most people went out and partied or rode around up to 9:00 the next morning. AS THE END of the Prom neared Sabrina Davis and Brian Balser dance to “Always and Forever. WHILE THE SENIORS DANCE to their Dedi- cation song, Randy Gilbert and Renee Hostetter sit down to take a breather. A CAKE DECORATED for the Enchanted Forest was made by Martha McDaniel.

Prom 23 A DAY TO REMEMBER Just as the class ordered, Senior Skip Day was beauti- fully hot. Seniors went to the park to swim, play tennis, lie in the sun, or just simply to socialize.With all thoughts of exams and _ books _ behind them they spent the whole day relaxing. On Friday’ night, after spending the entire day out- side, Seniors gathered at the American Legion Building for a banquet. As_ prophecies were read, seniors laughed heartily. The highlight of Flint’s the evening was Mr. AS THE SUN VANISHES, Brian Balser and Mike Locher are suddenly chilled. ‘deserving people’s awards.”’ Instead of getting the usual Evil Eye Award, Missy Burch received the Black Eye Award for her activities while she was decorating for the prom. Debbie Crawford got an a- ward for her ability to trick her parents into adopting a twenty year old son. Kim Burch and Angela _ Sorrels were praised for their abil- ity to stay overnight with each other on the same night. To climax this memorable occasion, a dance was held in honor of the Class of ‘79.

Senior Day 25 TOGETHER WE'VE MADE IT Although the weather was wet and the gym was tightly packed, an air of solitude pre- vialed during graduation ex- ercises. The graduates were reflecting on past occurren- ces while thinking about fu- ture challenges. Parents and friends sat with tears of joy and sadness as these young people were about to gradu- ate. The fact that others had in- fluenced their lives was brought out by class presi- dent, Jerry Knight. He stress- ed how much parents, teach- ers and administration, class- mates and the community had helped them in achiev- ing their goal. The new challenges to be faced and the need to get along and work well with others were points brought out by salutatorian, Eileen Crites. She strongly urged her fellow graduates to con- tribute to the betterment of our community. Comparing our lives to a book, valedictorian, Grace Grace Mayes presented an interesting analogy. She _ il- lustrated how each facet of one’s life contributes to the story he presents to the world. As the ceremony ended, seniors moved their tassles from left to right to signify the change in status. GIVING MUCH CREDIT to others, Jerry Knight reflects on the accomplishments of his class. WITH CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY, Grace Mayes speaks to her classmates. 26 Graduation SERVING THE COMMUNITY is a goal which Eileen Crites urges her fellow graduates to set.

Although stu- dents were the main attraction, teachers ‘‘efforts were rewarded also. Coach Ellison received ‘‘Young Educator of the Year’’, and Mr. Meyer was awarded ‘‘The Good Guy Award’’. Students also realized the worth of their leaders as Miss Alvine was recognized by the girls basketball team and Mrs. Teague was given a plaque by the SCA. Also making headlines were some outstanding students. Terry McDaniel was the best female athlete and Micky Branch was the male athlete of the year. Barry Ferguson was the Most Improved Student while Grace Mayes won the honor of Valedictorian by having the highest grade point average. Lee Bradford showed her talent by winning in art competition. Joan Connor competed in and won ina math exam sponsored by the FBLA. Carson Gibson also attended Presidential classroom. Some honors bestowed to students were of an unusal variety. In the Disc-O- Thon, Kathy Camden and Daryl Ogden were declared the best marathon dancers. In competition against other Senior football players, Johnny Cole was named the ugliest boy around. Individuals had special achievements at P.M., but group efforts were also suc- cessful. In football action, the Senior girls won over the Juniors in the powder puff game. The one-act play ‘‘Nonsense’’ put on by the drama club won first in the district. In the sports department of our school, we had not one or two but six regional champions. One of the most memorable successes of the year was the Juniors working together to form an ‘‘Enchanted Forest’’ for the Prom. 28 Capstones GOING FOR A LAYUP, Mark Bardis, hopes to put two more points on the board.

Division 29 BLUES SURGE ON A conquering team, a superior coaching staff, and spirited fans make a winning season. These ingredients combined to bring good results on the gridiron. From the first game with River- heads, tension grew and excite- ment mounted as the Blues kept winning. Natural Bridge, Wilson, and Clifton all fell under the force of the Blues’ strength. The Homecoming game with Staunton River gave cause to celebrate on home territory. Rockbridge and Stuarts Draft as well as Bath County toppled as the Blues surged on. Long-time rival Lexington, was beaten and the team looked toward the playoffs. Wilson and Rich Valley defeats put the idea of a second state championship into everyone's minds. As foot- ball fever rose the Blues met Clintwood and defeat. Winning a regional champion- ship and making it to the State semi-finals gained them much prestige throughout the state. 30 Sports EMOTIONS PREVAIL as Larry Jones and Timmy Jones congratulate each other after the River- heads game.

The students here strive for perfection and victory. The J.V. football team was not an exception. They started the season full of vigor and confidence. As if to strengthen their hopes in the first game against Buffalo Gap, they triumphed, not allowing their opponent to score a single point. In the next few games against James River and Riverheads, hard times struck the Little Blues. They lost two consecutive games. Then as if to shake off their misfortune they rose again to conquer first Clifton Forge then Rockbridge. Their winning streak lasted until the very last game when, despite their efforts and good playing, the Little Blues lost to E.C. Glass. With the J.V. team winning all but three games one can see traces of that com- petitive spirit present at Parry McCluer. 32 Sports IN ACTION AGAINST James River Wheeler looks on. sna ¥ fle ephas yll Pa St cote om � oe war 2 atid oF pte lg, o dics ti ok Sie mes ‘ re ee ee: in a vies a ea ‘ Bae ae? we tte i ocr ini OTA peti.

Start- ing out the season with wins a- gainst Buffalo Gap and Stuarts Draft, the team was very optim- istic. After a close loss to River- heads the team knew where their strengths and weaknesses were. They used this knowledge a- gainst all of the remaining op- ponents. This was evident as they earned victories over Stuarts Draft and Alleghany. The Blues won over Staunton River, not once, but twice. The Regional Championship found the Blues in third place.

This dependence on _ younger members was evident in the leadership of the co-captains; a senior, Mark Bardis and a sophomore, Alan Hamilton. Even with this inexperienced team the Blues were tough contenders against all of the opposing teams. In the first game of the season the Blues were victors. In the next three games the Blues held their op- ponents to less than a ten point victory. Another win, this time, over Clifton Forge brought the Blues out of their losing streak. This losing streak was held off until after the game with New Castle which P.M. won with a sixteen point margin. The rest of P.M.’s games were wins and losses_ intermingled. Bath County fell under P.M.’s force as did Shawsville and Staunton River.

Basketball team started out their season slowly, they soon recovered. Playing a very strong inside game the Blues ruled supreme their next five games. The Blues fell into a slump giving victories to Clifton Forge and James River. Despite this setback they showed a strong competitive spirit as they re- covered to win against long- time rival Lexington. It was an up-and-down season as far as scores go. Parry Mc- Cluer scored as many as 81 points against Staunton River and as few as 27 points against Clifton Forge. Despite this un- even season the Blues demon- strated that they worked well in tense situations. In overtime games against Shawsville and Staunton River Parry McCluer emerged victoriously.

For this reason both the wrestlers and Coach Ellison were very optimistic about the outcome of the sea- son. This season the Grapplers had a 7-5 dual meet record. The complexion of the team changed from previous years: in that the strength was in the upper weights. The team was young and inexperienced in the lower and middle weights. Despite this inexperience the outcome of the District champ- ionship at James River showed P.M. to be the winner once again. Students’ hopes rose as they traveled to the Regionals. Again the Grapplers emerged vic- torious. Parry McCluer advanced five wrestlers to the state finals at W. and L.. Many students and wrestlers went home saddened and disappointed as they re- ceived only fourth place. Then, as if the answer to many prayers, Parry McCluer was awarded sec- ond place because of a previous error in scoring. 46 Sports 1978-79 Wrestling team; From left; Ray Gilbert, Darrell Camper, Ben Burks, Jeff Robinson, Tommy Dunlap, Greg Thur- AFTER COMPLETING A successful match, Ray Gilbert exhibits good sportsmanship. cw man, Stanford Clark, Sanford Clark, Phil Radick.

Starting out the season slowly, the ladies won only two of their first six games, defeating Natural Bridge and New Castle. They hit a winning streak in midseason and won all of the remaining games. The only team that won against P.M. twice was James River. The rest of the teams that P.M. lost to in the begin- ning of the season were defeated after P.M. hit their winning streak. The Lady Blues team was comprised mainly of Juniors. Besides Juniors there were four Seniors and two sopho- mores which gave the team the experience needed but which also provided young members that could help future teams. 48 Volleyball Ls VARSITY VOLLEY BALL TEAM: Front Row: Beth Rivers, Coach Moore, Terry McDaniel.

Volleyball team split their wins and losses even- ly. This record may not be par- ticularly inspiring but what is interesting is the fact that the girl’s playing grew progressively better. At the beginning of the year P.M. lost the majority of their games. Than, as if to prove their ability, they went on to beat many of the same teams they had lost to before. Among them were Rockbridge and New Castle. Because of the way that the winner of a volleyball game is determined, the best two out of three games, many of P. M.’s losses were close games. In some cases the victor was not determined until the last few minutes of the third game. 50 Girls J.V.

During the regular season, they enjoyed ten successes to offset six losses. They were first in the districts and in the regionals as well. One secret to the team’s pro- ficiency was their comraderie among team members. Since they were bound by a common goal, to do the best possible, it was easy for friendships and friendly competition to arise.

Their first meet against Fort Defiance proved this as Parry McCluer outscored them with a thirty- nine point margin. V.S.D. and Staunton River both fell as Parry McCluer literally “ran over’ their opponents. Buffalo Gap managed to have a victory over P.M., but with only an eighteen point lead. They were soon back on their feet, however, with a victory over James River. After a loss against Riverheads, P.M. held the upper hand over Natural Bridge with over a hundred points.

Rockbridge and Natural Bridge managed to slip by Parry Mc- Cluer but not by very much. In their last district regular season meet, they crushed Clifton Forge with a seventy-two point lead. They came in second in the District Meet with a score of one hundred and fifteen. A lot of experience was gained for the next season since only One member was a senior.

For example, the game with Clifton Forge was the most exciting of the season. Only One run was scored and that dealt us the winning card. It appeared that the efforts of the team’s hard work were rewarded, because in five of the twenty games they held their opponents to zero.

In action with James River P.M. again defeated them. However, in this game fans were on the edge of their seats be- cause of the close scoring. In P.M.’s last games they fell into a slump which they were not able to overcome, Covington was able to hold P.M. to no scor- ing in the first game but the team rallied in the second game with their opponents to give them a tough match. 1978-'79 J.V.

This team was under the direction of Coach Moore and the co-captains were Sandra Carter and Terrie McDaniel. Most of these girls had gained experience on city league teams. The girls had a slow start because of lack of experience working together. After this, natural talent and enthusiasm took over and they won over Staunton River. With this game over the softball team continued to make good showings. They bowed to New Castle with only a few points difference and then came back to win over them in the second game against them.

If P.M. was not officially rated number one in all areas at the end of the season it was not because of lack of effort or talent. However, most of the teams did rank on top. At the start of the year the Fighting Blues kicked off the year. They captured the Pioneer District and the Region C cham- pionship. The J.V. team won most of their games. Also in the beginning of the year the girls and boys basket- ball teams jumped to a good start. The Lady Blues went on to win the District and Region titles while the boys made a good showing. The J.V. teams did not fare quite so well but they gave the fans exciting action to watch and_ gained immeasurable experience while participating on these squads. The year went on and the cindermen and the grapplers won the honor of second in the state in both areas. The Cross Country team was fifth in the state. Also the Volleyball teams had a great year.

During Career Day students took over and ran the school as well as the city. The jobs of Principal, secretaries, City Manager, and even Mayor were held by students who were eager to sit on the other side of the desk. To help the United Way, the SCA made giant signs pro- moting this drive. Another drive associated with the SCA was the yearly magazine drive. Prizes were offered to everyone who participated. The SCA also provided en- tertainment for the student body. They sponsored a Christmas party and Birth- day party for Bobby Updike.

They sponsored various events in addition to taking on the task of putting together a good yearbook, one that would please judges as well as the student body. Although the Parrimac of- fered an increase of eight pages to the students as well as an increase in the number of pictures, there was a de- crease in the number of year- books bought. Because of this reduction of money the staff held a number of money mak- ing projects. For the first time at Parry McCluer a Disc-O-Thon was held. It was well attended and at 6:00 A.M. eight couples still ‘‘boogied’’. Also, for the second year the Ugly Man contest was held.

This year was a very busy one owing to the amount of traveling done. Some students went to James Madison University for district business competi- tion. Joan Conner won the math catagory and went on Richmond to try her skill at the state level. Trips for the FBLA included their yearly trip to Washing- ton as well as to the Natural Bridge Wax Museum. For the first time Parry McCluer’s chapter of the FBLA held a social and united chap- ters from Lexington and Rock- bridge. One of the things talked about at this gathering was the annual Walk-A-Thon. Under the new title of ‘‘Super- walk,’’ the marathon walk was promoted at all area high schools. Other activities of the FBLA included the sponsoring of the Miss P.H.H.S. Pagent and raising money for their $300 scholarship. OVERJOYED WITH HER SUCCESS, Joan Conner displays the first-place ribbon which she won in math at the District Competition for FBLA mem- bers.

Although they were working under a handicap, not having enough money, they did manage to sponsor Joan Conner in Miss P.M.H.S.. For an end-of-the- year trip, they went to Kings Dominion. Honors Course, taught by Robert Bedell, was designed to broaden student's reading experiences. Among those books read were The Red Badge of Courage, Franken- stein, and Babbitt. Many of the students at P.M.H.S. were involved with Junior Red Cross. They were responsible for working with the bloodmobile and judging safety posters from Enderly Heights. They also held a pic- nic at Enderly Heights for special-ed. students. Hi-Y members attended the Model General Assembly held in Richmond. They helped with the voting during elec- tion.

These conductors of spirit traveled with various groups to give encouragement when it was needed and congratulations when they were in order. Traveling with the teams is not the only thing the cheer- leaders did. They sponsored the traditional Homecoming Dance. During relaxation they gave parties for the athletic teams. Many days after school the Cheerleaders could be seen practicing stunts, skits, and cheers to keep students enter- tained and full of spirit at games and pep rallies. At pep rallies they also awarded the coveted spirit stick to the most enthusiastic group or class.

Mr. Gravatt sponsored the club for the first year and also a large number of members’ had graduated. With the excep- tion of one person, all the participants were new. These new people were not without talent, however. They composed the entire staff of the one-act play called ‘‘Non- sense.’’ This play won in the district competition and went on to contend in the Region- als. These enthusiasts of the stage also performed in front of the student body during the Christmas assembly. Their rendition of ‘‘The Night Before Christmas’’ sent the audience into gales of laughter and was also fun for the cast to per- form. Other activities for the Drama Club included prac- ticing ‘‘The Heiress’’. CARRIED AWAY WITH THEIR ACTING, the Drama Club members practice one of their plays.

Students who had never before heard of ‘‘whiffle ball’’ had the op- portunity to play and everyone learned the basics of basket- ball, volleyball, and even foot- ball. When gymnastics were in- troduced into the gym, stu- dents were surprised at how many different ways their bodies would bend and how many times they could land flat on their backs while at- tempting a cartwheel. A favo- rite activity during this time was the trampoline. Health, first aid, and driver’s ed. were taught along with physical education. Students were taught the fundamentals of staying healthy, how to give mouth-to-mouth resus- citation, and the parts of the Car. P.E. ASSISTANTS: Front Row; Karen Rice, Kim Tomlin, and Fonda Moore.

Guys got into the act by taking Bachelor Living. This class was designed to aid the ‘helpless man about the house’. The guys learned to cook, studied budgets, and generally learned to cope with domestic life. The counterpart to B.L. was Family Living. Girls learned about sewing and went to fashion shows. They were taught how to make quilts, clothes, and even cooked a dinner for the school board with the assistance of the Bachelor Living men. The organization that made themselves responsible — for the uniting of these students as well as the Home Economics students was FHA.

Students select and design their own projects in all grades. These projects range from small, simple items in the 8th grade to furniture in later grades. Each school year was culminated in an open house where all work was shown to the public. The Communications De- partment was divided into two major areas, Middle School and High School. They studied printing, photography electri- city, and drawing. Most students who needed courses not available at P.M.H.S. could find _ their courses at Floyd S. Kay Voca- tional Technical Center. Its program’ included building, drafting, electronics, auto- mechanics, agriculture, paint- ing and auto body repair.

They were able to study aay under the guidance of Hans Guenter-Meyer, a native of Germany. In addition to learn- ing the language, students took advantage of his know- ledge and also found out about the customs, likes, and dis- likes of that country. Spanish students also had the benefit of learning from Mr. Gravatt who had _ lived in Mexico. English and History classes brought new challenges to students. Challenges included writing career and research papers as well as_ reading classics and poems. Students also were required to write short stories and speeches of their own.

Up to their elbows in clay, students brought forth pots, ashtrays, plus an assortment of original designs. Students also learned things that would be beneficial to them in later life. Advertising was a part of the art curricu- lum. Art students learned prop- er lettering and the use of India ink. They made jewelry, decorated Easter eggs and made stain glass windows with cellophane. Students were encouraged by the faculty. Their work was displayed in the library, halls and in the art showcase.

Many prominent merchants were often seen at various sports events supporting the Blues. These same people often donated prizes for contests at the school. One example of their generosity was evident in the Parrimac Disco-Thon. Businesses donated their services free of charge to the winners and many offered cash prizes. All of this helped to make this a big success. Merchants in the area often offered their facilities to students for them to make money. Peebles Department Store gave permission for the sidewalk to be used as a place for bake sales. Davis Exxon could always be depended on when organizations held car washes. Through the donations of businesses the baseball field was renovated and named The Louis V. Schreiner Field. BUENA VISTA 156 Ads LEXINGTON Although Lexington is not the hometown of Parry McCluer High School, they do give support to the students. The Lexington newspaper, THE NEWS GAZETTE, always carried stories and pictures of various events at P.M. The football team, the girls basketball team as well as class life were given coverage. Another example of Lexington’s encouragement was the many merchants who bought ads for the athletic programs and for the yearbook. These same merchants were often ardent fans of the Blues and followed them with dedication whenever possible. The Lexington citizens also helped the Blues. Although the Scarlet Hurricanes and the Fighting Blues have been engaged in a friendly rivalry for many years, these citizens still urge P.M. and its students to do their best in every field.

COLLECTING MEMORIES As the year went on and fall turned to winter which turned into spring, realization came that school was closing. Stu- dents knew that memories has to be gathered and stored quickly so that a year of life would not be forgotten. Like squirrels gathering nut- shells, students collected their thoughts of their school year. Athletic memories were those of triumph and defeat, tears and laughter, relief and depression. Scholastic memories caused students to sometimes grimace with distaste or glow with pride. Some of these were shared with classmates as they relived experiences that they would again remember in years to come. Recalling these times caused students to be joined momentarily in a_ feeling of brotherhood. “GETTING MARRIED” was an added attracton at the Sadie Hawkins dance that was enjoyed by Bruce Branham and Joni Gilbert. An aspect that must not be forgotten was the place that was the center for all of their activity. Since these were com- fortable surroundings, students were Satisfied that their school gave them the best and it was important to them. In order to help students hold and treasure memories of their '79-'80 year, the Parrimac has collected a few. This was done in hopes that in future years when Parry McCluer is far be- hind, that students will blow the dust from the cover and become young again as they re- call the time and surroundings in which these memories were made. With this in mind the staff presents this yearbook to the students of P.M.H.S. THE SCOREBOARD and the referee show that Parry McCluer has taken an early lead in the Homecoming game.
