We are optimistically looking forward to acquiring more new additions to our high school plant in the months ahead.

It s just ano th er Jay at school---------- A few minutes more before home room. Just looking between classes in A and B buildings. The anticipated new building will eliminate such crowded, dark hallways. The question is how soon? So many people and no place to goJ Change of classes — One thing, there IS plenty of room on the outside. 34 Wise use of library facilities builds a foundation upon which all other study rests. Mrs. Alkire, librarian, has recently rearranged the desk and shelves so that the handling of books moves quietly and with prac- tically no loss of time to the students. Mrs. Alkire reaches for supplies in her work room Finding the right book and signing it out is just a matter of minutes. Assistant librarians help students in study hall who need books. The library doubles as a room for study hall. Two teachers are usually available if help is needed. The bulletin board in the back- ground has on exhibit the paper covers of the new books recently added to the library. r W '% Y AIA' v’ W I III w W'lll UllllL v Mllilllllll lilllllllll wJJJJIk '• 'I ' ■ RERD science books ifor M science Science Boohs Interest StuAents Caroline Collins and Wayne Ours invite you to join them in reading the science books made avail- able through the Traveling High School Science Libr- ary Program. The program, now in its fourth year, is ad- ministered by the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science at the request of the National Science Foundation. The traveling library of two hundred books is divided into eight units of twenty-five books. Each unit is placed in a small traveling case that can also be used for displaying the books in the school library. The general plan of operation is to send each program school fifty books which may be used for a period of two months. An exchange is then made with three other schools so that by the end of the academic year all schools will have had the use of the two hundred books. The chemistry class sets up an experiment — Could it be to make that “awful” hydrogen sulphide? Biographies and autobiographies, histories of science and mathematics, and books on applied science are well represented in the collection. An attempt has been made to provide a very broad range of sub- ject matter so that a student may have the opportunity to acquaint himself with the major branches of sci- ence and to discern the practical application of the sciences and mathematics to research, to the pro- fessions, and to industry. Typing classes are always full. Mrs. Schell and Mrs. Wetsel have large classes in commercial courses. Shorthand, typing, book- keeping, and office training are offered. Bookkeeping classes, cramped for space, hope the new quarters will soon be available. Mrs. Schell works with shorthand class. 37 Physical education classes have plenty of room on the campus for separate groups to engage in different types of activities at the same time, a necessity in order to provide for the needs of a large number of students in building strong, alert minds and bodies. Mrs. Riggleman's class gets into position for the game. Just resting a bit. The boys make the most use of the play areas out near the gymnasium and on the old tennis court. 38 m t k 9 v- Four classes in biology meet with Mr. Schell each day. A student explains minute details of the chart to other members of the class. Sometimes the study of intricacies of the human brain must give way mo- mentarily to more trivial interests. West Virginia Citizens Compete Mr. Snyder’s eighth graders study the state flat. A bulletin board filled to capacity with West Virginia history holds the interest of two students of the class assembling material for study. Of the sixty-eight Golden Horseshoe winners in Grant County in the years from 1942 through 1958, fifty-four were in Pet- ersburg High School. No record is available for the years prior to that date. The West Virginia Club work taught in the state school program comes to its final climax in the eighth grade of the junior high school. In April all eighth graders take a test called the Eastern Panhandle Junior Citizen Test. Those who score ninety per cent or above are eligible to take the Golden Horse- shoe Test. The top four scorers in the county are awarded a trip to Charleston to receive golden horseshoe medals. Our school has the largest enrollment in this work in the county. Junior Citizens are required to make a booklet. This should be a complete piece of work covering the earlier grades in which they did work in'the West Virginia Club. Each history teacher in the seventh and eighth grades of our school spends at least one hour a week on West Virginia Club. Most eighth graders look forward to the annual trip to Charleston where the winners are dubbed with a sword by the governor or some high official to make them either knights or ladies of the Golden Horseshoe. Looking forward to having a part in the celebration of the West Virginia Centennial gave added impetus to the program to look into its own history. Winners of this coveted award through the years from 1942 to 1958 are: 1942-- Fred Moomau 1949-- Albert Whitmer, Jr. 1955-- John W. Frye Johnny Boor Harold Garber 1943-- Mary Jane Smith Janet A.

It is a challenge to students to learn in the short weeks of one semester the thoroughness required of able drivers and to dedicate themselves to consistent practice of it in their personal driving thereafter. Driver education is a regular course in our high school. The course is open to Juniors and Seniors who have reached their sixteenth birthday. About thirty pupils a semester are being trained. The course consists of thirty-six classroom hours and six hours behind the wheel per pupil. The school is furnished a dual controlled car through the American Automobile Association and the local car dealer. This year the car was furnished through Roby Ford Company the first semester and by Petersburg Motor Company for the second semester. The purpose of the course is to prepare our young people for a lifetime behind the wheel, regard- less of cost or academic consideration of whether training boys and girls in this field is a proper function of secondary education. Certainly one great educational value is survival value. Until every high school student who is physically, mentally and temperamentally qualified is taught to drive prudently and to know his or her responsibilities as a driver, it cannot be said that we have come close to doing all we can to cut down our traffic slaughter. Driver education is the greatest hope of the future in the field of traffic safety. What driver education does to attitudes in our young people is on a par with its contribution to actual driving skill. Boys and girls are made to recognize that operating a car with serious regard for the safety and welfare of others requires intelligence and is a challenge to what one has learned in school, therefore, it is strongly recommended that every interested person lend his or her assistance to bring about a safer highway for all to use. Our motto is: The life you save may be your own. ” They learn the car inside and out. Wk en You Come to the End of a Perfect Report card satisfactory! The bell rang ! A little play keeps the boys from being dull -- what ARE those two girls doing in there? 42 Many people share in the opera- tion of the Petersburg High school plant. Bus drivers between shifts.

Former mem- bers include DarleneBobo.CarolynCollins.RonnieEvans, John Frye, Harold Garber, Jane Kimble, Melba Mallow, Hilda Rohrbaugh, and William Taylor. New members are Seniors: Viola Harris, Esther Secrist, and Isabella Sites, and Juniors, Charlotee Arnold, Carol Bobo, JohnGlover, HelenGroves, Gwendolyn Judy, Phyllis Kimble, Clyde Kile, Bill Martin, Kay Micahel, Janet Pennington, and Vaughn Simmons. The National Honor Society is composed of members from the Junior and Senior Classes in high schools throughout the nation. They are selected by the chapter from a list recommended by the faculty. A two-point average or better is required of those considered as well as a showing of distinct traits of the organization’s four ideals: Leadership, Scholarship, Service and Character. Students who are finally selected are inducted into the society before the entire student body at a special candle-light assembly. A project of the local chapter is that of evaluation of student grades for the honor roll at the end of each six-weeks period. The system now in use is based on points. Any student in grades nine through twelve, having a total of points from sixty-seven and one-half to seventy-four were placed on the honor- able mention list. All over seventy-four points were on the honor roll. In grades seven and eight, students had to have a total of eighty-five - ninety points to be on the honorable mention, and all above ninety made the honor roll.

The game was played at Moorefield on September 19,1958. In the past nineteen games between the teams the Vikings managed to hold the Jackets to a pair of ties. Petersburg actually wrapped up the contest on the very first play of the game from scrimmage. V iking quarterback Reynolds hit the air lanes on the initial play and connected with his right aid Harman on a pass good for sixty-one yards and a touch- down. Then in the second half the Vikings’ Frye intercepted a Moorefield aerial on the Yellow Jackets’ forty-five-yard marker to set the stage for the Vikings’ twelfth point. After racking up three first downs, setting the ball on the one foot line, Petersburg was guilty of a delay of game infraction and was moved back to the five. Reynolds again took to the air and hit his left terminal man, Nelson, in the end zone for the touchdown. Both kicks for the extra points sailed wide of the crossbars. The mighty Vikings had another very successful year by compiling a 6-3-1 record. Under the ex- cellent coaching of William “Honey” Crites and Carroll MichaeL During the annual training camp Sonny Taylor was elected captain. Their wins were: Southern 25-0, Terra Alta 20-7, Moorefield 12-0, Franklin 12-6, Circleville 30-6, and Romney 13-0. The Vikings were dealt losses by Ridgeley 14-12, Keyser 34-6, Beal 41-12, and also tied the score with Charles Town 6-6. John Frye was elected P.V.C. All- Conference first team for his second consecutive year as fullback. Chosen for P.V.C.

Petersburg Junior High closed their season with Moorefield with a record of only four wins and twelve losses. Although the record fails to show much, there are signs of promising boys. Among these, James Junkins, 6’1”, has a lot of potentialities. Buddy Smith and Steve Bruce are two fine guards that can shoot as well as handle the ball well. These boys should be of help to the Varsity next season. The team in the picture to the right, FIRST ROW; Dave Shaffer, John Harman, Wayne Koontz, John Koontz, Buddy Smith.

The novel setting in a department store was a welcome change from the traditional living room. The play centered around the toy and sports departments involving the various personnel in a large store. Efforts to get the public to buy Jupiter, a “talking rabbit”, and thereby save the job of the heroine, brought a chain of action which was amusing but realistic.

The chap- ter also had the number one scrapbook in the state, the chapter's treasurer book placed first, Nolan Snyder and Ernest Bergdoll received the State Farmer Degree and Nolan Snyder was elected State Vice- P resident of District One. The high point of the year came in September when the chapter representatives successfully defended their “Sweepstakes Award” at the State Contests at Morgantown which they had won the year before. The chapter placed first in poultry and plant pathology. They placed second in horticulture,fifth in farm shop, and fourth in farm crops. They were competing against forty-one schools and three hundred and seventy- three boys. In October the chapter represented West Virginia and the Petersburg Chapter at the National Con- vention at Kansas City, Missouri. Those going to the convention were: Raymond Berg, Jim Cornell, Robert Yokum, and chapter adviser, Mr. Dunn. While competing in the National Poultry Contest, they placed in the bronze emblem group.

Chapter is a unit of the Future Homemakers of America which is a national high school organization of students studying or interested in home economics. The purpose of the organi- zation is to promote better home and family living. Last summer Judy Hedrick, Ruby Simers, Jane Kimble and Ann Welker, past State Vice-President of National and State Projects, accompanied by Mrs. Mohl, attended the FJI.A. State Convention at Jackson's Mill in July. Here Jane was elected West Virginia State President of Future Homemakers of America. Ann was member of a panel in the conference program. Prior to the State Convention, Jane had the opportunity to go to Kansas City to attend the National FJI.A. Convention along with seven other officers or candidates and three advisers. Each month the Petersburg Chapter selected a girl to serve as Miss Future Homemaker of the Month. Those who have been selected thus far are Melba Mallow. Charlotte Arnold, Phyllis Kimble, Barbara Ketterman, and Betty Harper. For the first time a prince charming to be known as Mr. Home- maker or King , the title of which has not been definitely decided upon, was elected by the membership. Donald Nelson holds this title for the current year, having been officially installed during inter ' ssion of the FJI.A. dance in March. The chapter has been working consistently for the state projects. It has contributed one thousand dollars to die West Virginia F .F.A.-F.H.A. Foundation. Incorporated and an annual gift to the Craft House Fund for the camp at Cedar Lakes. All of this money has been earned by home economics students in extra curricular activities, hard work and a variety of special projects undertaken over a period of years. The chapter had a state officer when the camp site was selected. Mrs. Jeannette WeeseSions was then State Vice-President of Recreation. The chapter also does a variety of jobs contributing to die improvement of the Home Economics Department of the high schooL During National FJI.A. Week they carried out a strenuous schedule of acti- vities in observation of these days. Officers this year were: President, Jane Kimble; Vice-President of Public Relations, Shirley Judy; Vice-President of State and National Projects, Darlene Bobo; Vice-President of Recreation, Helen Groves; Vice-President of Parliamentary Procedure, Melba Mallow; Secretary, Kay Michael;Treasurer, Naomi Keplinger; Historian, Charlotte Arnold. Because of the limited space, it will not be possible to list the names of the seventy-five members. They are shown in the picture below. F reshmen Clothing Class Vocational Home Economics classes and home experience programs offer girls opportunities to work in the many areas of homemaking. Below Seniors are taking a test on color in clothing; identifying harmonies used in pictures sleeted from magazines and tem- porarily mounted on chalk board. In the picture on the right the Sophomore girls are unpacking the accessories that came with the new Frigidaire range that has just been installed in our exchange of equipment program. They can hardly wait to use the range. Robert Nelson stopped in just in time to take part in a panel discussion on “You and Your Family” with the Junior and Senior classes. Our F.H.A. Style Show last April proved to be very successful. Approximately sixty girls participated, modeling cloth- ing they had made or selected (one). Robert Harman, Senior Class President, as Master of Ceremonies, carried on an interesting commentary as the girls moved on and off the stage. A band ensemble furnished de- lightful background music throughout the evening. Yardstick, tape measure, and pitcher all help Margaret stand her dress up to be hemmed.

The activity is included in working toward the goal requiring work to be done for the State organization. Because of the large number to be made and the short time in which to make them, the other girls in the chapter gave some assistance. buture Nurses of America Organize Members of the newly organized nurses group, FIRST ROW; Barbara Ketterman, Cathy Eye, Judy Hedrick, Janet Cullers, Carolyn Collins.
