Student-Faculty Volleyball Game An Annual Event Who is better, students or faculty? This is one of the per¬ plexing questions that is al¬ most impossible to answer, but at Patrick County High an honest attempt is made to an¬ swer it by conducting a Stu¬ dent Faculty volleyball game. The student teams are as¬ sembled in P.E. classes; the strongest players are well coached, trained, and condi¬ tioned. The faculty team is made up of the brave, agile in¬ dividuals ready for action. The two teams collide and battle it out for a victory, stop¬ ping at nothing short of glory and honor from their peers. Because there is no major trend in these victories, such as all faculty or all student, it is probably safe to assume that the two rivals are just about equal. This assumption, how¬ ever, will not be accepted by either side, because each one is determined to prove their superiority to the other for as long as the opponent stands and the ball bounces. ip While serving the ball with all the force he can muster, Greg O’Bryan hopes to score another point for the teachers. m m Ready to assist, Jimmy Cockram stands close as fellow teammate goes up for the ball. 26 P.C.H.S.

' Dress-up Days Break Monotony and Display Spirit, Personality If you were an alien visiting Earth for a good look at earth¬ ling life, and you arrived at Patrick County High on one of the school’s dress up days such as Halloween, you would most probably arrive at a defi¬ nite conclusion ... “THESE GUYS ARE NUTSO!!” Dress up days are scheduled for breaking the monotony of everyday routines at school. It is a good display of school spirit and personality if you attempt to go all out in dress¬ ing up. Beware of the little men in little white jackets car¬ rying stretchers, though; espe¬ cially if you happen to resem¬ ble an onion, or any other type of walking food for that mat¬ ter. Sometimes dressing up is part of the initiation for a club, such as the Jr. and Sr. Beta clubs who have required their members to dress up as everything from bees and ba¬ bies to celebrities and mon¬ sters. PCHS days give people a chance to show off their ward¬ robe; things that they would never wear before are worn without a care, or a fear of be¬ ing dragged off to some mental institution. So play extra attention to others on dress-up days, you may have a close encounter of the fourth kind, but whatever the case, they certainly make school life more exciting! Truly getting in the spirit, Tim Britt plays his part as Dracula to the utmost. Students are not the only ones to get involved in “dress-up” days. Mrs. Lynn Worley, English teacher, has a little fun too.
