S. has been composed of smaller worlds, representing different phases of our school life - WHEN WE WORKED, AND PLAYED, MADE FRIENDS, AND HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES, There are many memories of the world in which we have been a part. We have grown to know each other and to appreciate our school’s customs and traditions. Through WORKING, we have, learned about ourselves as well as the usual academic subjects. Through PLAYING, we have had fun while growing in school spirit and taking pride in being a part of P. H. S. Through MAKING FRIENDS, we have learned to trust people and to respect their opinions. But most of all it was here, in our world of P. H. S„ that we have come to realize that we belong; and it was here that we have had ... THE TIME OF OUR LIVES. 2 World High School June 12, 1969 It's Petersburg High School It's Petersburg High School The pride of every student here. Come on you old grads.

GEORGE WILSON To you, Mr. Wilson, we respect- fully dedicate our 1969 Petro-Schola. Without doubt we feel you have given your time, talents, advice and have done more than your share to help us in many phases of school life. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for your unlimited efforts to make our many play productions a great stage success. We did not realize our experi- ences gained from all the extra time you spent working with us. Now we realize ... and appreciate it deeply. We thank you, Mr. Wilson. May your future be as bright and brilliant as you yourself are. So thanks again and may God bless you always. GEORGE WILSON - English, Drama 5 CAROL ANN In Memoriam In memory of our beloved friends and classmates who were unfortunately taken by the will of God on July 7, 1968. Carol Ann, who would have been a senior this year and Dianna, a sopho- more, were not loved by few but by many. They were the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gleason Kesner of Rough Run, West Vir- ginia. Our saddened hearts linger at the thought of their departure. Although we feel it is our loss, we feel it is heaven’s gain. DIANNA LEE 6 ADMINISTRATION A large part of this school’s success can be at- tributed to an often unrecog- nized but very important group of individuals who com- pose the administrative staff. The principal is present to aid the student in his academic and personal prob- lems. He is both the figure of leadership and a friend to the students. Inside the framework of our loyal and dedicated teachers, the student gains a responsibility to himself as well as fellow classmates. Our dedicated secretaries handle the immense load of paper work that helps keep the school functioning prop- erly. County Administration MR. C. D. SIONS County Superintendent Secretaries MR.

As we walk for the last time through the halls of Petersburg High School, we realize that it is not an end, but only another step forward to a brighter, new tomorrow. Tears of mixed joy and sad- ness will glow upon our cheeks as at graduation we assemble together for the last time. We have spent twelve glorious years working, learning, and playing together, and the memories of these days will linger long after all else is forgotten. The Class of 1969 CLASS OFFICERS President...

May the future years at Petersburg High School be more meaningful and fulfilling than ever before .., 63 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Charles Friddle, President; Jane Ours, Treasurer; Cynthia Harman, Vice-President; Penny Everline, Secretary; (absent) David Alexander Arthur Alt Dannie Alt George Alt James Alt Naomi Alt Sharon Alt Diane Armentrout Sharon Barr Judy Berg Nancy Berg Marlene Brennan Judy Burgess aJb’UMi Jo Ellen Burner Larry Champ Linda Cook Carolyn Crites Roger Crites Melvin Cullers Patsy Davis Judy DeHart Rebecca DeHart Janet Delawder Albert Dettinburn Janet Ebarb Teresa Engle Bonnie J.

From the endless hours of hard prac- tice sessions until the glory of victory or the agony of defeat, the boy learns to endure for the sake of the team. It is a difficult job, but one well done by the coaches and the boys who have the interest and the desire to work for the name of the Vikings, Spirit is the most im- portant part of any team. It keeps them trying when they want to give up, gives them strength when they are tired, and hope when they are losing. Gaining spirit is a part of growth also. Through the efforts of the cheerleaders and the teams, Petersburg has more spirit than ever before and supports the teams which fight for our proud name... Athletics Vikings----Mt.

The most important, the most demanding, and the most rewarding of all school activi- ties is Student Council. Student Council is responsible for en- forcing the school rules and it desires to uphold the adminis- tration’s policy. Without the influence of the Council, the remaining clubs and activities would not set such high stand- ards and reach their own goals. Together these organiza- tions work to achieve discipline as well as a rich social life. 103 Student Council FIRST ROW: Mr. Thralls, Advisor; J. Veach, President; T. Schaeffer, Vice President; B.

The Student Council is an organization which represents the student body in school problems and activities. Membership is ac- quired through elections held in each homeroom at the start of the school year. The Council has. been active in many projects this year - the annual Homecoming Parade, the Christmas poster contest, and the hall monitoring system. The Student Coun- cil, in its representation, strives to serve and aid in the betterment of its school and promote school spirit.

Throughout the entire year the Keyettes have sponsored several community projects along with school projects. Some of these community projects included preparing a Thanksgiving basket, selling band-aids for the hospital, collecting money for March of Dimes, and making Christ- mas card holders for patients in the hospital. The objective of the Keyettes is SERVICE. Mrs. Parker is hysterical from Santa's antics. (Left) Norma Sites and Chris Reel make Viking emblems for Homecoming. Key Club The Key Club serves the school and community under the motto We Build. Requirements for membership are a good moral character plus a C average. Some of their activities during the year have been planning and selling football programs, having a record hop, making a hospital sign, and aiding in fire drills. They also attended church as a group. One of their main purposes along with serving the school and community is to develop lead- ership.

Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of youth studying home economics. FHA provides opportunities for students to have additional experiences in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. For a national project the club is making a survey of certain social attitudes and practices among the student body. Our community project is The Heart Fund Drive which includes responsi- bility for canvassing homes in areas east of the Allegheny Mountains. The chapter project is to plan for and help buy furnishings for the living-dining area in the Home Economics Department.

There have been many hours of work spent trying to record the year's memories for you. We would like to say thanks to all who have contributed by thought, word, or deed to the completion of the 1969 edition of the Petro-Schola. The staff of 1969 would like to say a special thanks to our advisors, Mrs. Polly Ours and Mr. Greg Kennedy, for the help and guidance that they have given us. Their loyal support and untiring efforts have made this volume of the Petro-Schola possible. May the memories recorded here - in word and in picture - be for- ever enjoyed by all.
