We have worked this year with one goal In mind, to turn out the best PANTHER yet!” WE DEDICATE • • • MRS. JEAN BURNS It is an honor to pay tribute to one who has become such a genuine part of Par- sons High School. We are extremely grateful for her en- couragement, her hard work, and unself- ish devotion, which she has given us throughout the year. It is our hope that by dedicating our yearbook to our Sponsor, Mrs. Burns, we have been able to express our gratitude and our sincere appreciation for all that she has done as a teacher, advisor, and friend. Her guidance and understanding not only in her vocation but also in her avo- cations has earned her a place of highest esteem in all our hearts. Mrs. Burns received her AB degree from Fairmont State and Master’sde- gree from West Virginia University. As a teacher of English and journal- ism, this dear lady does her best to keep the PANTHER Staff and ECHO Staff working. In this picture she is shown at the over-stuffed filingcabi- net, a place where she is often seen. Her famous quote goes along with her zealous work - “We have a dead- line to meet. A EDITOR: MARLENE ROACH Although I have felt incapable many times this year, I have thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful opportunity of being editor of our 1964 yearbook. All of the staff have been very energetic and responsible. Margaret and Jeff worked especially hard along with me at making this the best yearbook possible with our limited knowledge and help. We hope you will enjoy this yearbook and appre- ciate our work. ASSISTANT EDITOR: MARGARET FOLAND JEFF FELTON The financing of the Panther has meant much hard work, hours of walking the streets, darting in and out of stores, and talking fast. Most of all a friendly smile and salesmanship is accredited to Jeff. He has done a marvelous job of selling ads to many business people and business establishments. Even after ’’No's , Jeff has succeeded in going on and getting much of what it takes to get the PANTHER published. His two able assistants, Elaine Hamner and Susan Sherman have aided him in planning the ads in the back of the book. Many thanks to all three of these members of the staff. It has been a privilege to work with Marlene and all the members of the staff in com- piling the 1964 PANTHER. We have all done our best to fill this book with memories that will grow fonder as the years go by. I sincerely hope that, as you turn the pages of this book, you will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed helping to prepare it. BUSINESS MANAGER: 5 STANDING: PANTHER STAFF Diana Irvin, Sports Editor; Thomas Nestor, Art Editor; Sharon Vanscoy, Junior Assistant; Susan Nestor, Organizations Editor; Judy Knotts, Favorites Editor. SEATED: Susan Sherman, Advertising Editor; Elaine Hamner, Advertising Editor; Nancy Hapney, Subscriptions Manager; Sue Oldaker, Sports Editor; Patty Haddix, Junior Assistant; Mrs. Burns, How in the world are you going to make that horizontal picture fit into that vertical space?” . . . And how did you get the page numbers mixed up, Dear?” . . . 'Tf I have to change this page one more time. I’m gonna scream!’’ . . . “Students, PLEASE put all the pictures away and put the chairs back in order. These are just a few of the remarks one might hear coming from Room 110 between the hours of 3 and 4 o’clock, while the yearbook staff is busy compiling this year's PANTHER. Hours of laying out, typing, proofreading, picture-taking, and selling advertise- ments were put in by the PANTHER staff. Fearing that nervous breakdowns and mental collapses would follow, the staff was glad to see the last shipment sent to the publisher. The PANTHER staff is made up of 18 hardworking juniors and seniors. The students have been busy working to make the 1964 PANTHER the best one yet!

Young people who have acquired a skill or a good basic education will have a better chance at interesting work, good wages, steady employment, and greater satisfaction in life in general. Getting as much education and training as one's ability and circumstances permit should, therefore, be high on the list of things to be done by today's youth. BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS (L. to R.) Lawrence Losh; H. A. Meyers; Miss Eloise Bergstrom; Mrs. June Ann Carr, Secretary; Mrs. Louise Lijienfeld; Harold Parsons, Director of Attendance; Stelman Harper, Superintendent; and William P. Minear. 8 ARE PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPAL - MR. EARL SINES Let us recognize a basic truth. Success in life is not a destination. It is a journey. Fortunately, this means that no one is obliged to work toward a single distant goal'and be judged successful only if he attains that one objective. As with a traveler, the end of the journey is usu- ally beyond the range of vision, but there is much interest and beauty along the way to reward each day's steps. The happiest journey is not made with downcast eyes which see only tired, dusty feet. It is made with uplifted sight to appreciate the visible panor- ama and with imagination to understand the sig- nificance and to picture what may be beyond. The stars were made for those who look up and whose imagination knows no limitations. May we all have a happy, prosperous journey through life. Your principal, OuJ) £3, 7 0 MR. SINES AND FAMILY Seated here are Earl Sines, his wife, Emma Jean, and their four children: Earl Michael, 11; Stephen Grant, 9; Susan Renee, 7; and Jon Russell. The last offspring was born January 27, 1964, after several weeks of waiting. Our principal's family has helped and encouraged this brilliant and orderly man for three years. We appreciate very much their contribution to his work and deeply thank Mr. Sines for his efforts and accomplishments. 9 OFFICE EFFICIENCY OFFICE GIRLS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MRS. BERTIE RENNIX This efficient little woman is also a teacher of Stenography I, Typing I, and bookkeeping in Parsons High. At home she enjoys flower gardening and eating chili. West Virginia Wesleyan is her alma mater from which she received her B.S. Degree. Besides these attributes, Mrs. Rennix claims an unusual pet--her husband. SECRETARY KAY WHITE Seventeen-year-old Miss White is a graduate of Parsons High. She was well prepared for her job by her four commer- cial courses in high school. In last-year's annual she is de- scribed as taciturn . . . modest . . . and industrious. Left to right: Carol Moore, Bonnie Foster. Roberta Shahan, Paris Flanagan, and Barbara Parsons These girls answer many questions which you have, among which are the following: May I see Mr. Sines?”; May I use the telephone? and others too numerous to mention.

Along with the Sophomores, they presented the yearly Christmas pro- gram. Of the eight majorettes in Parsons High, half of them are juniors. Their class colors are blue and white, and their flower is the white carnation. Due to sponsoring the Junior-Sen- ior Banquet, they were given the pop and candy concessions, dispersed by machine. Deter- mined to make the banquet a real success, they also undertook two other projects, selling boxed candy and Christmas corsages. SPONSORS CUSS OF ’65 MISS CAROLYN HOWELL MRS.

Fifty- nine. the largest number of these freshmen, came from Parsons Junior High. 19 from Saint George, and 15 from Hamrick. The rural schools' total was 16. At their first class meeting, they chose as their class animal, the lion; while their colors are orange and black; and their flower is the white rose. The atmosphere is altogether different from elementary and junior high school. During the first few days of school, they find the subjects are going to be harder than they have been in the past year. As the days go by, they become more and more a part of our school. SPONSORS MR. GUY SAPARITO MRS. JEAN BURNS MR.

PANTHERS WIN ‘‘AA SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT PRESENTATION OF TROPHY Shown here are Bruce Simmons and Scotty Wil- fong, co-cap- tains of the team, presenting Mr. Sines with the silver trophy. The Panthers outscored Tygarts Valley in over- time to take a Sectional Championship, March 6, at Parsons. The game was nip and tuck all the way with neither team taking more than a seven point advan- tage. The half-time score had Parsons in front by a 28-27 score, but in the last quarter the Bulldogs came charging back to tie the game at 55-55, shortly before the final buzzer. Playing mostly ball control the Panthers hit on four foul shots and held Tygarts Valley to one field goal, to take a 59-57 victory. THE SUCCESSFUL PANTHER CAGERS ALL-TOURNAMENT WINNERS BRUCE S.
