Mrs. Hopkins helps the eleventh and twelfth grade students plan a specific pro¬ gram for a vocation or for college en¬ trance. Mrs. Hanby counsels the eighth, ninth, and tenth grade girls while Mr. George counsels the eighth, ninth, and tenth grade boys. Mr. George takes his job of helping others seriously.

Mrs. Underwood and Mrs. Hopkins work with the students in hopes of a better understanding towards the problems raised in Geometry Classes. The key word in understanding any math is concentra¬ tion. Mrs. Underwood stresses the fact that math is a precise science. Math 17 n memonam On November 8, 1970 Patrick County High School was greatly saddened by the loss of a beloved and respected member of its faculty, Mrs. Foster Warren Staples. Mrs. Staples, who taught French and English at Patrick County High School and had been a member of the Stuart High School faculty for sixteen years. Mrs. Staples was a dedicated teacher and highly respected by all who knew her. She was a member of the Virginia Educa¬ tion Association and had been the faculty representative for several years. Having coached a girls basketball team while at Stuart High School, Mrs. Staples had also sponsored the Monogram Club and both the Junior and Senior Classes. She was Chairman of the Senior Sponsors at Pat¬ rick County High School. Mrs. Staples was a member of the Sigma Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma International Honor Society for Women Teachers. This society is an organization founded in 1929 in which membership is by formal invitation only and requirements are strict to insure a membership of outstand¬ ing character, intergrity and excellent teaching ability. Mrs. Staples attended Peace Junior College in Raleigh, N.C. and received her A.B. degree from the University of North Carolina. She studied as a graduate stu¬ dent at UNC, the University of Indiana and the University of Virginia. In addition to being a dedicated teach¬ er, Mrs. Staples was a faithful church member and a civic-minded citizen. She was a member of the Women ' s Society of Christian Service, Stuart Woman ' s Club and served as leader of Girl Scout Troop 176 for several years. We shall ever cherish the memory of her kindness, her faithful devotion to duty and the wonderful example that she set.

The main pur¬ pose of trade and industrial education is to prepare the individual for employment or for advanced training in a specific trade or occupation. The Trade and Industrial Education classes are in four categories. They are Cosmetology, Electronics, Building and Trades, and Auto Mechanics. Students learn a particular trade in each of these classes. Young masons learn something about the foun¬ dations of the world. Mr. Bruce Dollarhite Mr. R. B. Hoyle Mr. Clarence E.

W ' ' When Patrick County High School first opened its doors in August, less than half a dozen clubs had formally organized. By February, twenty-three clubs had met and elected officers. These clubs, all of which met after school, with the excep¬ tion of the Student Council, played an important part in the life of students at PCHS, and through their various activi¬ ties, worked to bring recognition to their members and to the school. Through membership in clubs and organizations, PCHS students leaped into involvement and friendship. 33 Archive Staff faces many problems The 1970-71 Archive Staff members were chosen by the annual staff sponsors from the various schools in the county last spring. These staff members were faced with many problems—the annual had no name, few members had had any real experience in working on an annual, clubs weren ' t formed, everything was completely un¬ organized and new. Through meetings held before school started, Archive mem¬ bers started to tackle these and other problems confronting them. Miss Judy Via, Archive Sponsor, worked diligently with staff members to meet deadlines for the 200 page, 9 x 12” annual. Deadlines weren ' t always met and many mistakes were made, but the Archive staff is now wiser and older for the experiences it had in compiling this first edition of the Pat¬ rick County High School Archive. Business Managers and Assistants are Stuart Manager; Debbie Cooper, assistant business Wolcott, Sales Manager; Jean Smith, Business manager; Paul Clement, assistant sales manager. Annual Staff Editors are: (L. to R.)

The first year of football at Patrick County High School was a disaster but not a complete loss. Although the Cou¬ gars were not victorious in any of their ten games it is hoped that the experience they gained will prove to be useful in the coming seasons. Like all newly consoli¬ dated schools, Patrick County expe¬ rienced problems which will eventually be alleviated by time. Prior to consolidation only one high school in the county had participated in football and this meant that many of the players had to learn the game from the ground up. Because the players came from different schools it took sometime for various individuals to adjust to each other. The first five games played by the Cougars were marred by numerous care¬ less mistakes usually at crucial moments. In some instances, the Dan River game for example, the Cougar ' s mistakes con¬ tributed a good deal to their own down- their first varsity season Head Coach William Hanner, Assistant Coaches tant John Shore (background) tapes an injured Richard Tobler, Bill Pons, and Rickie Shores player, watch intently during second half while Assis- fall. Despite this the team did not give up and showed some improvement in its last five ball games. Sophomore quarterback Tommy Rakes completed 40% of his passes with an average completion of 10 yards per throw. Rake ' s favorite targets were Wing- back Carl Handy, and split end Keith Slate. Jeff Wigington was the Cougar ' s leading rusher, while center Don Pace, Tackle David Smith and tight end Johnny Witt sparked the offensive line. The defense was led by Linebackers Jeff Stultz, an all-Piedmont District per¬ former, and Danny Stacy, end Jerry Spencer and halfback Joe Stewart. Of the forty players who came out for summer practice, thirty remained at the seasons end. Of those remaining six will graduate leaving twenty-four to return for the 1971 campaign when it is hoped that better things will be in store for the Green Gold. Managers: Stewart Roberson, Chip Roberson, Hylton Tatum, and Rick Hudson.

The first win ever posted by a Cougar football squad on the new high school football field was one accomplishment of the squad when they defeated Laurel Park 12-0. The honor of scoring the first touchdown ever by a Cougar on the new field went to James Scott, a linebacker, who raced 38 yards with a pass intercep¬ tion. Split end Mike Cooper garnered the other one on an 8 yard touchdown pass from quarterback, Phillip Slate. The following week the Cougars won again at home, this time trouncing F ieldale-Coll insville 24-16 and coming from behind to do it. Ronnie Spencer and Leander Pilson had put the Cougars into an early lead with touchdown runs of 45 and 6 yards respectively. But the Caviliers scored the next 16 points to lead 16-12. Then Slate hit tight end Ronnie Williams with a short pass which Williams turned into a 65 yard scoring scamper to put the Cougars ahead for good 18-12. Spencer added the last touchdown on a 46 yard run. The last two games were lost 16-0 to Bassett and 24-0 to a strong Drewry Mason team. The Cougars were coached by Mr. Richard Tobler and assisted by Mr. Rickie Shores, who both feel that some out¬ standing prospects were prepared for next years JV and varsity squads.

This seasons J.V. success was sparked by the backing of 12 energetic girls. Not only did these 12 girls practice hard and strenuously this past year, but work went under way last summer. Six of the 12 were able to attend cheerleading camp and gain valuable knowledge and skill in cheerleading. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders 85 Thunderation . .. when we play we create sensation! This was the cry of the Varsity Cheerleaders better known as the Nifty Nine during the Cougars first bas¬ ketball and football seasons. Although the Cougars didn ' t have a successful first season the cheerleaders were always there to back up the team with spirited cheers. Through long hours of practice twice a week the cheerleaders gained experience in cheering. But some of this experience will never be used again since 5 of the cheerleaders were seniors. Nevertheless these girls did a fine job of supporting the team at much needed times and we here at Patrick are proud of their fine showing and efforts! Cheerleaders sound While fighting to regain the lead. Cougars are urged by cheerleaders to ' ' Get yourself to¬ gether.

Varsity Cheerleaders 87 Victory over once defeated Auburn keeps The 1970-71 Patrick County Cougar basketball team was both frustrating and rewarding. The season began on a very bright note as the Cougars won their first two games against Mt. Airy, N.C. Follow¬ ing these two early victories, the Cougars had some tough luck and lost several close games with two of the games being decided in the last two minutes after the Cougars had led most of the way and two of the games were lost in overtime. These losses seemed to deflate the Cougar ' s morale. However, during the last two weeks of the season, the Cougars re¬ grouped and ended the season with ex¬ cellent performances against Auburn, Fieldale-ColIinsville and Drewry Mason. The first edition of the Patrick County Cougars coached by Mr. Joe Cobbler and Mr. Sonny Swails ended their season with a 4-14 record. Senior Jerome Foddrell, the team captain, led the Cougars in scor¬ ing and rebounding. Another senior, Mike Heath followed Foddrell in both cate¬ gories. Other seniors who played well for the Cougars and will be missed next year are Alfred Smith, Ronnie Haley, Barry Edwards, and Bobby Reid. The nucleus of next year ' s team will be made up of Johnny Bowman, Jeff Shelor, David Hairston, and Johnny Witt. These boys, plus an outstanding crop of Junior Varsity players, should promise a bright future for the Cougars. Managers: (Row 1, I. to r.) Don Pace, Lewis Joyce, Leonard Brim. Statisticians.

' s tie for first place in Piedmont District jf g|V! rv The Junior Varsity Cougars completed their season with a record of 15 victories and 2 defeats. This consisted of a 9-2 conference record for a first place tie with Chatham. As a team the J.V. ' s averaged 58 points a game to their opponents 44; 36 rebounds a game to their opponents 26; and hit 38% of their field goals. Individual leaders for the team were George Hagwood and Barry Shelor in scoring with 14 and 10 point averages respectively. In rebounding the leaders were George Hagwood and David Hair¬ ston with 14 and 10 rebounds re¬ spectively. Other leaders were Tommy Rakes in field goal shooting with a 52% average and Jimmy Goad in foul shooting with a 72% average. The highlight of the season was an impressive 20 point victory over Chat¬ ham, which earlier in the season handed the Cougars their first defeat and this win brought them into a tie for first place in the conference.

Each girl was judged by Mr. and Mrs. Tony DiNapoli. Mr. DiNapoli is band di¬ rector at Madison-Mayodan High School and his wife has had prior experience in selecting majorettes. The girls were judged upon the basis of a routine which included marching and twirling. Each girl made up her own rou¬ tine and performed it to appropriate mu¬ sic. The routine could not be less than 2 minutes and not more than 5 minutes in length. They were graded on a point system. The 9 girls with the highest number of points were chosen to be the majorettes. Points were given for appearance, poise and posture, and for the routine. Mrs. Diggs and Mr. Pons, co-sponsors, worked with and supervised these girls during the five months of practice.
