WILMA BROOKS MISS CALLIE DARNELL MISS LORA DINGUS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the seniors of 1962, pause for a while to look back upon our four years in high school. When we came to Powell Valley, we were the sophomores. We already had had our first taste of high school the year before, our freshman year. We ' ll always remember that year of finally feeling as though we were a part of it all. We had our second time to adjust in our sophomore year. That year we realized that we were really choosing the courses we would be taking for the remainder of our time in high school. Our high school foundation had been fairly well established. We also see our junior year and the events that took place. These formed some of our fondest memories of school. We sold magazines to raise money for our prom, WONDERLAND BY NIGHT, our biggest adventure in our junior year. We remember how the cafeteria looked on April 28 after all our planning and decorating. Yes, it was a very memorable year with the choosing of our rings and calling cards. Yet all did not end with the closing of school, for, long remembered will be the experiences gained by our representatives to Girls ' and Boys ' State. After a carefree summer we came once more in August to school - - this time, for our final year, our Senior year! Finally, it had come and we felt strange to be at the top of the ladder. On October 9 we became full-fledged seniors when our class rings, our symbol of seniorhood, came. We were offer- ed the opportunity to take the Washington trip. This and memories of other things will always stay with us to remind us of our senior year. At the Prom this time we were the guests instead of the hostesses and hosts. The senior play with its night performance brought with it curtains opening, curtains closing, the relief, and thejoy of completing a performance. The mere joy of being seniors and of taking part in senior subjects and plans was almost too much to grasp. Yet time moved on rapidly. High School with all its varied activities, football, basketball, baseball, track, band, science fairs, assemblies - - all seemed to race past, too fast for us to hold it close enough. Then came the bitter .sweet time only fully understood by those who have marched the trail to grad- uation. As we marched down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, our friends and par- ents saw our slight smile. Yet we also felt the sting of a tear or two. We marched proudly and held our heads high. When our hands finally touched our diplomas, we felt as if we had really accomplish- ed something. Time and the Class of 1962 marched on - - to face the world, college, work, and the future. We cannot pause too long for the hands of time move along. We only ' hope to be remembered for a brief time in the halls of Powell Valley High School, our Alma Mater Page 22 WORLEY HARRISON ANDERSON— Shop 4; Football 1; Fire Fighters; 4; Track 2 CLIFFORD EUGENE BAKER-4-H Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, 4 (Vice-President, District); Library 3 (Vice-President), 4 (President); Science Fair 2 (3rd Place), 3 (1st Place); Band 1 , 2, 3 (All District); 4 (All District); Safety Patrol 1, 2; Roman Club 1, 2, 3, 4, (Hono rary Member); French Club 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Valhi Staff 3, 4; Track 3, 4.

We have just climbed the next-to-the-last rung in the ladder of our high school career. Having completed this important step, we can now recall all the events that have made this year so exciting as well as important for us. Club activities played an important part in our year filled with tests, classes, fun, and much pleasure. January ushered in our magazine sales campaign which provided us money for our Junior-Senior Prom. Mr. Seale, our ring salesman, couldn ' t have made us happier. The Pom and graduation made us realize that we are really one step away from the future — Seniorhood. Page 28 CLASS Row 1: Barbara Allen, Bobby Allman, Wayne Artrip.

GRACE ROSE MRS. EVELYN WHITT MISS FAITH COX MISS JULIA WILLIS MR. JACKIE ROBINETTE On November 2, 1959, one hundred and fifty-five, bright-eyed, energetic and per- phaps a little frightened boys and girls entered Powell Valley High School as the first eighth grade class. The year passed quickly because our new school and new friends made unforgettable impressions. Our freshman year passed with flying colors,- we were at last a real part of high school. Now as sophomores we must toke on more responsibilities. We have many problems which confront us as well as many disappointments. Even so, we realize that this is all a part of growing up and we must tackle each with spirit. We are gradually, with the help and encouragement of our sponsors and teachers, beginning to realize our aims and goals in life. We look to our future high school years with hope and determination.

This year we felt much more a part of our school because now we aren ' t the youngest and, although we do not mean anything by it, we like to tease the eighth graders. The ninth grade is the beginning of a whole new phase of life with new experiences each and every day. We ninth graders have now set new goals at which we will work toward finishing high school and for some of us on to college. At this time when it is needed most, we sincerely thank our sponsors.

FRANCES SAMS MRS. DONNA RAINES MR. CECIL MADDUX We ' ll never forget that day in August of 1961 when we began our first day of high school. Things were really different from grammar school- We were allowed to change classes and we had fewer subjects. We even had a regular study hall. However, we must admit that the building was large, and some of us were lost a few times. But as time progressed, we, as new high school boys and girls, felt we were becoming a part of school. There were many club activities, and many extra-curricular activities such as football in which we eagerly took part. All of this added much to school spirit. Under the capable guidance of our teachers, we found that this first year of high school brought many new outlooks on life. Certainly we all agreed that we should be able to work and do our best in the beautiful, modern facilities of Powell Valley.

H. McChesney. The first whistle toot came from our drum major, Dickey Stone, and seventy-two eager band students fell in line. The second whistle toot marked the beginning of the long drawn-out drill season. The members drilled end- less hours. Mr. Sam McChesney, our very capable drill master, put in hours of his time to shape the Viking Band. The Viking Band appeared at the football games and particpated in the Southeastern Band Festival where they won a Division II trophy. The band also participated in the District Regionals held this year in Marion. The band was also represented in the All-State West Concert held at Appalachia and in the All-District Concert at Norton. The band members realize that all their successes are due to the untiring efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Chesney, known to us as our Mr. and Mrs. Mac . Mr. Mac planned and drew out our drills while Mrs. Mac taught us endless hours of music. To them we doff our tasseled caps.

The Pixies , a girls ' drill team organized since January, 1960, is a very industrious group, it is com- posed of girls from all years of high school, with a majority being eighth and ninth graders. Since this was the first year for the Pixies to march with the band, we were very excited about each event. The Pixies marched with the band at all the football games and went to Bristol for the Eleventh Annual Band Festival. In addition to marching for the Shriners ' Parade, we also marched in the Labor Day Parade at St. Paul. After being delayed for two weeks, we marched in the Christmas parade and danced to the music of Here Comes Santa Claus and Jingle Bells. Undoubtedly none of this could have been achieved without the patience, love, and kindness of Mr, and Mrs. S. H. McChesney, and the music provided by the Viking Band for our performances. . . . roll film and snap . . . The Drill Team and Band pass the reviewing stand.

These are the o bjectives of the Key Club of Powell Valley High -School. In our years of organization the Kiwanis Club International, our sponsor, has stood by us in our troubles and glories. The members of the Key Club maintain a high scholastic average and are in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Although we are a small club, we have served in such activities as collecting and delivering food, clothing, and toys at Christmas time for the Kiwanis Club; raising money for the March of Dimes,- lining the football field during football season and directing traffic for basketball games,- and helping with the traffic at the District teachers ' meeting. As money-making p ' rojects, we have sold candy and held record hops, for which we are grateful to Mrs. Berney, Mrs. Jackson, and Mrs. Botts for chaper- oning. As a school sponsor we are privileged to have Mr. Rucker Skeen. From the Kiwanis Club we are fortunate to have Mr. Bill Akers, Mr. Bob Womack, and Dr. B. E.

President GORDON MUMPOWER Vice-President SALLY SUTHERLAND Secretary MARY ELIZABETH QUILLEN Treasurer JIM COLLINS Sponsors MRS. GRACE ROSE MISS LORA DINGUS The Roman Club of Powell Valley High School is a club composed of fifty-five members taking first and second year Latin, who are dedicated to studying the purpose of learning more about the great civilization of the ancient world. In learning about these civilizations, we can get a better understanding of how our government, customs, and language were derived. In studying the Roman language, we can better adjust ourselves to study for the coming years. We can proudly say that we are a chapter of the Junior Classical League. The Junior Classical League is a national organization of classical clubs in the high schools of the United States. Its job is to interest the students in the culture, arts, customs, and civilizations of long destroyed empires. As in most clubs, the time of initiation is regarded with pure delight. The Latin II members get the opportunity to pass on to the first year students the fun and frolic of being initiated. The Latin ! students dress in a strange fashion, consisting of mixed-up hair-dos, different socks and shoes, and many other amus- ing combinations. On the day of initiation a party is given and members look back on it as one of the happiest of their school days. At the party the Latin II students receive J. C. L. pins to show that they have practically finished their two years of Latin. We wish to extend our thanks to our sponsors. Miss Lora Dingus and Mrs. Grace Rose, for their guidance. It is to people like them that we give credit for making the ancient civilizations live once again.

Several of us gave parts from famous patriotic speeches and poems. It was a good experience for us, but we found that we had much to learn and were eager to begin. We gave our first one-act play called Beat It, Beatnik before Christ- mas. We had a lot of fun getting it together and we also learned a lot about play production. With the money made, we plan to order club pins. In the spring we plan to put on another one-act play and also enter the forensic contests.

Vocational Office Training prepares a student for a business career and enables them to operate various office machines. The students attend school in the morning and go to work in the afternoon, if they have a job. V. O. T., as this course is called, offers two credits for the students who work, and one credit for the students who do not work. The two units for V. O. T. include filing and machines. Filing gives the student ex- perience in indexing, filing, and arranging papers as in business procedures. The students master such machines as the electric typewriter, the bookkeeping machine, calculators, dictating-transcribing machine, and the duplicator. After we have mastered the filing unit and machine unit, we are prepared for a position in a business office. Page 6 8 D. E.

The main purpose of the G. A. A. is to promote physical fitness. Membership is acquired when the girls reach a goal of 100 points. Points are gained by taking part in sports such as swimming, hiking, tennis, badminton, hockey, basketball, softball, and skating. Even though this is a newly organized club, all the girls have set an outstanding ex- ample as the result of being a member of it. Two of our goals are physical fitness and, of course, good sportsmanship. We hope we may be more beneficial to our school in the future.

Boggs The Powell Valley Vikings, after only three years of consolidation, have built one of the greatest spirits of unity, devotion, and pride in their school, causing their standing to move from fifth to second place in the newly formed Lonesome Pine District. The Vikings, under the experienced leadership of Head Coach Burchell Stallard and Backfield Coach Cecil Maddux, ended an almost perfect season with eight wins and two ties. The Vikings worked diligently to win and to play good ball. In three short years they have won a name for themselves in the District and give great promise of future teams. The Vikings placed four players on the All-District teams: Gary Potter, left end, second team offensive and defensive; C. M. Boggs, right tackle, first team offensive and second team defensive; Jack Lane, left half, second team defensive,- James Bolling, right half, first team offensive and second team defensive. All-State honors went to James Bolling, right half, second team offensive, and to C. M. Boggs, right tackle, winning an honorable mention. The District championship, an established goal for the Vikings, can only be achieved by greater team effort and by the support from the student body.

The Junior Varsity team might be considered the training ground for future Viking stars. They are gaining valuable ex- perience that will aid them to step into the shoes of the Varsity players who will be leaving our team. Giving daily guidance during this season was Coach Robinette who lead his team through a successful season.

With four returning lettermen, the Vikings were in fine shape for a good season. Out to better last season ' s record the boys really worked hard, fn the beginning of the season the Vikings had a little trouble, but as the season progressed, so did the team. During the Christmas vacation the Vikings traveled to Coeburn for the Wise County Basketball Tournament. Although defeated in the semi-finals, the Vikings played brilliant- ly throughout the tournament. The Vikings continued doing well and played in the semi-finals of the Lonesome Pine District Tournament but were defeated. The starting lineup was usually selected from the following; Jim Graham, Jack Graham, Sam Hall, Gary Potter, Bruce Shull, and Jim Galloway.

The Vikings playing Junior Varsity basketball had an exceptional season this year with thirteen wins and only four losses. The team and Coach Stallard collaborated to make this a successful season. To be eligible for the Junior Varsity squad, a boy must have passed at least three subjects prior to the semester in which he is to play and must be in the eighth, ninth, or tenth grade. In the coming years these boys will go on to the Varsity team. The usual starting lineup consisted of Johnny Black, Hollie Smith, Joe Toney, Eddie McKinney, and Pete Kilbourne.

Track and Baseball Teams h This year we introduce a new entry in the VALHALLA, the track and baseball teams. The track team was started the first year at Powell Valley by Coach Maddux and has had several meets since then. Track is one of the two spring sports which has grown in interest over the years. It not only presents the promise of a highly competitive sport but gfves a good means of exercise and limbering up for the winter sports. Track is one of the best sports offered in the school for building breathing control and muscle tone. It offers running and fine conditioning in field events. This year we have much interest in track again. The baseball team under Coach Stallard started their spring training this year with a fine group of spirited young boys. They worked very hard to mold themselves into a fine-working baseball team. This sport, growing in popularity because of the fine showing of the Vikings, is becoming a highly interesting sport at Powell Valley. We are very proud of this Viking team and their work which won them the title of Co-Champions of 1961. District Meet I i- ' . f a’ 880 yard district winner, R.
