When the seating arrangements are completed the gymnasium will have a capacity of 2,(KM) persons. It is hoped that within the next couple years tele- scope bleachers will be added to the eastern side of the building and the temporary seats now on the east will be moved to the open section on the north end. The playing space is the maximum area permitted lor scholastic play. This is the fourth gymnasium used by Petersburg high school teams since basket- ball began in 1923. The floor was the scene of the sectional tournament this past February when the Vikings beat Moorefield in the championship game. Memorial Field House was dedicated on December 1 with a basketball game between Alderson-Broaddus College and Potomac State College basket- ball teams. J. Bobby Cavanaugh of Cumberland delivered the dedicatory remarks prior to the game. The 1954 Petro-Sclwla Three fyacxMy THOMAS H. SITES A. B.. M. A.

The 1954 Petro-Schola Seventeen National dlonxvi Society The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization with headquarters in Washington. D. C. It came into being as a definite need arose for the recognition of honor students in schools throughout the land. For years these students were seen only in the background and special attention given those prominent in athletics. Now in many schools National Honor Society groups have been formed. The local chapter was organized in 1937. Since that date 130 students of Petersburg High have become members. The purpose of the Honor Society is to promote leadership, build an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, and to de- velope character in the students. Students are selected from the junior and senior classes. Those pupils having a high scholastic average are considered as candidates to be voted on by the faculty. New members are inducted at a special initiation party. The school service project carried on by the local chapter is the selection of an honor roll from all classes at the end of each six weeks. Students having an A or B plus average receive top honor.while those having a B average receive honorable mention. If a student receives a D he is disqualified. The names are posted in the hall of the main building and appear in the Viking Log and the Grant County Press. This year Honor Society members sold programs during the basketball tournament. The officers for 1953-54 are: President. Robert Whitmer; Vice President. Amogene Goldizen; Secretary, Juan- ita Lewis; Messenger. Keith McUlty. New members this year are: Delores Sites, Cleta Keplinger, Betty Smith, Ruth Cuppett, Jimmy Rotruck, Zenella Johnson, Nadine Glass. Mary Jane Mitchell, Keith Inskeep, Billy Riggleman, Donald Graham.

Forty The 1954 Petro-Schola Driver Education is now a regular course in our high school. The course is offered to Juniors and Seniors. The number that can be taken care of is approximately 48 pupils per year. Each person taking the course must have 6 hours behind .he wheel and 36 hours classroom instruction. The school is furnished a car through the American Automobile Association. This car is equipped with dual controls and has a proper insurance coverage. This year the car is a Ford furnished through the local Roby Ford Motor Company. The purpose of the course is to insure a greater degree of safety for all who use the highway. Statistics now reveal that safety education of this kind is showing a greater degree of less traffic fatalities than before such courses were offered. Students that successfully complete the course are given a card from the Depart- ment of Public Safety. This card deems them the better risk for insurance and in turn many insurance companies offer reductions in premiums to those that hold such a card. Forty-Two The 1954 Petro-Schola fy ie+Uic flewA.

December 7. 1953. Fifty-Two The 1954 Petro-Schola Petersburg High School students are proud of the school cafeteria, which is used daily by approximately 230-240 stu- dents for their noontime lunch. The red brick structure was erected through funds secured via the school bond levy and was completed for use during the 1950 school term. Two high school teachers, Mrs. Rich- ard Thompson and Mrs. Bess Mohl, super- vise the work of the three cooks, who pre- pare and serve the daily lunches to the great mass of students who converge on the dining hall at noontime. Advance students in Home Economics use the cafeteria as a source of work, for each year the classes plan and prepare meals and menues for one month of the school term and aid the cooks in serving them. The three cooks employed to do the cooking and serving the meals are Mrs. Bessie Cornell, Mrs. Virginia Painter and Mrs. John Rinehart. Student assistants aid in setting the tables and serving. Local organizations make good use of the facilities of the room for banquets are held in the hall many times throughout the year. Over $4,000 worth of equipment was added to the building this past Summer and has been a big help this year. New equipment installed include an automatic dish washer, work tables, wash sinks and a serving counter. These additions as well as more storage space was acquired through money furnished by the high school. Part of the foods consumed by the students is supplied by the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture and the remainder is purchased locally with funds received from the sale of individual meal tickets.
