HARLEY STALLARD, Principal Director of Instruction of Wise County Schools MRS. PATSY ARNOLD, our efficient secretary MR. W. D. RICHMOND, Superintendent of Wise County Schools To the Class of 1966: Along the trail many interesting experiences and problems await you. How you meet these will determine your progress. Some will stop at the first hill. Some will stumble and fall over the rocks. Some will become mired in the mud. Some will fall from the cliffs along the way. Others will just linger with many stops and starts. A few will reach the end of the trail—a happy and useful life. How far are you going? Your Principal, J. P. Horton (p Left to Right: Eugene D.

It is more gratifying to look fo the future where the stars and dreams are bright than it is to look back at what cannot be changed. We, the Senior Class of 1966, are proud of our history but eagerly, yet anxiously at times, await the future in anticipation of brighter and newer horizons. Each year the graduating class leaves a mark of distinction with the school. It may not be specifically named, but it is embedded in the tradition, memory, and soul of the school. No alumnus can return to his alma mater and honestly say there has been no change. The changes may not be in the physical plant, but there are changes that have been initiated, nursed, and realized by the students and the faculty. Changes that were once dreams become part of the routine—changes that cannot be named but are ever with us. Powell Valley has given to us. Could a value be placed on learning to live? Could a value be placed on knowledge? Could a value be placed on friends? We are indebted to Powell Valley, but we can never repay this debt. Each year Powell Valley goes through a carnival of events, designed for the students ' entertainment and education. We have experienced all of these—the thrill of the first day of school, the insecurity of being a sub-freshman, the fellowship of clubs, the heartbeat of the thrilling moments in sports, the pondering over a math problem, the band and Glee Club concerts, the weekly assembly programs, the English assignments that we can ' t wait to get, the Homecoming Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom, taking College Board Exams, and other events, too numerous to mention. We have loved it. We shall miss the security of high school. Responsi¬ bility is frightening, but we will accept the responsibility of being an adult more easily because of our preparation in high school. It is our hope that Powell Valley is a better place in which to live and learn because we have been there: this is all we can offer, for it ' s all we have. Each day a flag is raised in front of Powell Valley. This will never change. The love of freedom that our flag symbolizes is part of our very soul. We dearly love it and are ready to die for it. It is time for us to part and we say to you, Powell Valley, Goodby... 24 Senior Directory LLOYD COY BARNETTE-Art Club 4; K.V.G. 1, 2, 3 JOHN EDWARD BLACK-Key Club 3, 4, 5; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4, 5; Football 1, 2, 4, 5; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; French Club 4 (honorary 5) DENNIS CREED BLANTON-Key Club 2, 3, 4, 5; Track 3; Art Club 3; Roman Club 1, 2; 4-H Club 2; K.V.G. 4; Booster Club 4 DANNY JOE BLEDSOE—Football 1, 2, 3, 4,; Track 3; Art Club 3; Roman Club 2, 3; VA LHALLA Staff 5 (Business Manager) LARRY FRANK BRUNER—Football 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; Bas¬ ketball 3, 5; Track 4, 5; Varsity Club 4, 5; French Club 3 (honorary 4, 5); Booster Club 4; K.V.G. 5; 4-H Club 5 MERTON CAMPBELL CAWOOD-S.C.A.

We were taking another journey on the trail of our high school careers and we were determined that it would be successful. We were allowed to participate in more clubs and activities, and as a result, felt more a part of Powell Valley. We learned the importance of accepting responsibility for our own actions and of acquainting our¬ selves with our teachers.

After the first few weeks of entering wrong classes, fixing broken lockers, and losing boo ks, we finally grew accustomed to the routine of high school life and settled down for a year of study and hard work. Going to assemblies, pep rallys, ballgames, and club meetings—all these were a part of our new experiences and helped to make our year exciting. We extend our thanks to our teachers, who have helped us in making our first year at Powell Valley successful.

Mr. David Tipton Libby Gillenwafer Drum Major Viking Band Director: Mr. David Tipton Looking back over the year ' s work of ' 65- ' 66 our Band can say with pride that it was a satisfactory and successful year. From the first blast of Libby ' s whistle in August to the all- important moment on October 2 at the annual Bristol Band Festival, afternoons were spent marching on the field, practicing music, working up dance routines, pleading for rest breaks (usually not getting them) and somehow ending with good shows. Then all this work proved worthwhile when we brought back from the Chilhowie Apple Blossom Festival a Division I trophy and two weeks later from Bristol the only Division I trophy received by a Wise County band. The next few weeks were put into studying basic musical terms and rhythms, then Christmas carols were rehearsed before the Band participated in two Christmas parades sponsored by the merchants of Big Stone Gap. On February 4, 5, and 6 the All-State Band West was held at Powell Valley for the first time in the history of the school. A total of 168 students were involved, including seven Vikings. This profitable week end brought people from many surrounding areas and brought much credit to our school. As spring rushed along, hard work was again the prescription. Many hours were spent working on music for the Regional Festival. Soon after was the annual Spring Concert, high¬ lighted by the presentation of the McChesney award. With the close of the year, the Band had several suggestions and ideas to consider for a summer trip.

The Story of the Viking Pixies We, the Powell Valley Pixies of 1965, repeated another successful marching season. Performing our routines on the football field and marching with the band in two Christmas parades completed our busy schedule. Only we twelve girls can recall the fun we had during the number of long hours of practice which preceded each show. We take great pride in our drill team and eagerly await another prosperous year in 1966 under the capable direction of Mrs. David Tipton.

During its second year the Student Co-operative Association has continued to grow, making greater strides toward fulfilling its aim of benefiting the school, student body, and faculty. One of our main goals for this year was the fulfillment of the state S.C.A. theme, FIRST . Among our projects we can list the following: orienting the eighth graders, sponsoring the homecoming ceremonies, selling bleacher seats, sponsoring intramural basketball games, purchasing a new national flag for our school, and establishing a fund to purchase a school sign. But we are proudest of another of our accomplishments. This year we were host to the first meeting held in several years of the Natural Tunnel District of the State S.C.A., and we hope that through our efforts our district will be reactivated. It is the council ' s sincerest hope that we have successfully fulfilled our duties this year, and we wish to extend our sincerest appreciation to Miss Sarah Broad¬ water for the interest she has shown and the help she has given us.

The Key Club of Powell Valley High School, a part of Key Club International, is a club sponsored by Kiwanis International. Its motives include developing initiative and leadership, promoting good will, preparing for useful citizenship, giving primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life, and serving the school and community. During this past year some of our projects and activities included collecting and delivering food, toys, and clothing during the Chirstmas holidays for needy families, selling programs at home basketball games, lining off the football field for home games, working at the Singing Convention, and ushering at the outdoor drama, Trail of the Lonesome Pine. The Key Club, a club for key boys with We Build as our motto, has tried to be a helpful service to the school and community. Our sponsor, the local Kiwanis Club, has helped us very much. Special thanks go to our school principal, Mr. J. P. Horton, our school sponsor, Mr. Rucker Skeen, and our Kiwanis adviser, Mr. Bill Akers, Sr. Through their guidance and supervision, they have helped us to make this a successful and enjoyable year.

We were hosts to the District Workshop Conference held at our school September 7; we attended our District Conference held October 30 at J. J. Kelly High, Wise, Virginia; and we took part in a county wide Induction Service held at Norton Methodist Church, November 6. Our most rewarding project of the year was a Christmas Party, which we sponsored for needy children from both East Stone Gap and Big Stone Gap elementary schools. We also presented a talent program in Assembly, called Whing Ding. Our other money making project was the sale of Viking car tags, displaying the school emblem and colors. We achieved an Ace Rating for the two years, 1963-64 and 1 964-65. We are trying to achieve this rating for five consecutive years, at which time we will earn a Placque, presented by the YMCA. Two of our members, Libby Gillenwater and Judith Body, attended Blue Ridge Assembly at Asheville, North Carolina, the past summer. We were represented at the Model General Assembly, held in Richmond, Virginia, by Campbell Cawood and Henry Stout, Jr. We would like to thank Mrs. Rose, our sponsor, for the guidance and interest which she has shown in our club. 63 Left to Right—Row 1: Linda Delp, Marlene Ford, Barbara Mumpower, Joann Willis, Judy Tate, Louise Collins, Julia Ferrell, and Miss Scott.

Our club motto is: We rnver guess; we look it up! The members, who number nineteen, are encouraged to maintain a high scholastic average, and to exhibit qualities of good leadership. Scheduled meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month. During the year many attractive displays were featured, book markers dis¬ tributed, and special instruction given in the use of the library to all eighth grade classes and other English classes. Many new books have been added to the library shelves. In addition to routine library activities, the club celebrated National Book Week and sponsored an assembly program with Mr. Luther Addington, author of several well-known books and former principal of Kelly High School, as our speaker. Another pleasurable annual event was our new dis¬ play and faculty party. The Library Club commends its industrious and talented sponsor, Miss Billie Jean Scott, newly elected Treasurer of the Department of School Librarians, Virginia Education Association. 64 Left to Right—Row 1: Mary Molly Murphy, Diane Roat, Deborah Kelly, Robin Collier, Donna Boggs, Diane Dooley, Shirlee Whitt, Martha Dress.

The highlight of the year was the annual banquet held in March with its theme The Ides of March. Slaves were first year students and the royalty were second year students and honorary members. Completing our study of Latin has given us a better knowledge of our own language and a better understanding of the ancient Roman civiliza¬ tion. 65 Left to Right—Row 7: Lynda Shoop, Gaye Reasor, Betty Lynn Tate, Betty Collins, Sheryl Daniel, Dottie Stone, Judith Body, Susie Stone, Belinda Davidson, Libby Gillenwater, Judy Tate, Shirley McConnell, Judy Jackson.

In our study of French I and II, we strived to learn more about the speaking of the language, to study the government of France, and to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the customs of the French people. At the first of the year, several of our class periods were spent listening to records and tapes of French conversation, idioms, and basic pronuncia- tlC Also at Christmas we sang Christmas carols in French while we studied Christmas customs and traditions in France.

Our class periods, spent in vocabulary study, pronunciation drill, and translating interesting and informative lectures, also involved many in lively discussions of Spanish customs and traditions. In the spring, members of both first and second year classes worked together to present an assembly pro¬ gram sparked with colorful costumes and amusing skits.

At the beginning of the school year nineteen students eagerly plunged headlong into a course which we all knew would be a welcome change from the daily classroom procedure. Our first speeches were those in which we told something of ourselves, our interests, and our ambitions. The main purpose of these talks was to overcome our number one enemy—stage fright. The highlights of ' 65 were the election of our class officers; making a Homecoming Banner; presentation of the play, “Father Lives With Seven Women , which was presented to both the student body and the PTA; and the ordering and receiving of our club pins. Speech is a very entertaining course and is also one of the most helpful. The things learned in speech class will be very useful in our everyday lives. Our thanks go to our very capable sponsor and teacher, Mrs. Grace Rose, whose limitless ideas have made this a very profitable year. 69 Left to Right—Row !.

The Viking Story With a squad consisting of only seven seniors sprinkled among underclassmen, the 1965 edition of the Vikings posted their most successful campaign in five years. The Big Red and Blue began their season on an unhappy note, dropping their initial tilt 13-12 to the Wise Indians. The Vikings roared back, however, to cop seven victories in their next eight starts. Much of the success of our 7-3 record was due to the excellent leadership of tri¬ captains Joe Fox, Bo Lane, and Johnny Black, and also the great spirit of unity and teamwork displayed by the squad as a whole. Not enough praise can be given our coaches, Garnett Gilliam, Cecil Maddux, and Rexal Carnes, who completely dedicated themselves to the task of making us a winning team.

The team showed certain signs, of future greatness, however, as an array of sophomores and juniors saw much game action. Among the high points of the season were the fired-up team play against powerful Gate City, Johnny Black ' s cracking the 1,000 point barrier, and the two regular season victories over Appalachia. The team found the going rough in the Wise County Tournament as they were eliminated in the first round by Appalachia 72-52, in a rough- and-tumble affair. Again, in the Lonesome Pine Tournament, the Vikings were upset victims of Coeburn 66-51. mJ Randy Fleenor Elbert Bush Eddie Toney Kent Gilley VARSITY SCHEDULE AND SCORES Appalachia 43 PV 45 Pound 76 PV 57 Pound 69 PV 45 Pennington 57 PV 43 Pennington 62 PV 63 Wise 74 PV 72 Wise 68 PV 59 Haysi 63 PV 79 Haysi 81 PV 67 Gate City 79 PV 61 Gate City 65 PV 59 Ervinton 53 PV 68 Ervinton 49 PV 75 Coeburn 63 PV 65 Clintwood 53 PV 64 Clintwood 59 PV 62 Norton 72 PV 61 Appalachia 72 PV 52 Appalachia 58 PV 59 Coeburn 66 PV 51 82 Junior Varsity Left to Right—Kneeling: Tommy Myers, Frank Nickels, Glen Kelly, Toby Collins, Michael Mason.

The boys lost several close games, but they showed diligence in working at the fundamentals of the game, which is one of the major objectives of J.V. basketball. These are the boys who will be counted upon to furnish the varsity, so it is evident that we can look forward to successful seasons if the improvements shown at the season ' s end is continued.

The pitching staff, paced by Jimmy Kelly, carried the brunt of the attack as the hitters failed to come through. The goal of this season ' s Vikings will be to coordinate their hitting and pitching. We are sure that they will return to the leader that they annually are in Wise County baseball circles. The Vikings posted one of their most successful track seasons ever as they placed second in the Dis¬ trict track meet. Tremendous individual talent and ef¬ fort were abundant as Coach Garnett Gilliam ' s forces took the field. Surely, the achievements of last season ' s track team will be a challenge for teams to come.
