OFFICERS Joe Messer Bill Strang Reva McConnell Kenneth Ely Miss Faith Cox Miss Callie Darnell Miss Lora Dingus Mrs. Grace Rose Man is unique, original, a thoughtful creature. Part of his uniqueness is the result of his ability to remember his experiences and to draw insights from these experiences. Sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant, these experiences mold the character. For twelve years we have ex- perienced a series of regulated events called school. During this time we can remember feeling fright, insecurity, awe, anger, frustration, happi- ness, pleasure, ecstacy, and sadness. As Pee-dabs” we felt awe, fright, and pride. We can remember when we visited Powell Valley High School for the first time: the building looked mountainous; the upperclassmen looked old and wise. How we envied them! But we soon dis- covered that to stay at Powell Valley High School was hard work. We remember football games, quizzes, snowy days, assemblies, new friends, new responsibilities, basketball games, teachers, examinations, invitations, record hops, classes, classes, and more classes. Each of us has his own memories, but as the Class of 1967 we shared some events that belong only to our class. Choice of courses made some of us close class- mates. We struggled with shorthand, algebra, American government, and typing together. We spent hours talking on the telephone about the latest crisis only to discover the next day that we couldn ' t remember what we had been so upset about scarcely two days before. From these crises we learned, some more slowly than others; but we did learn. As the world around us changed, we grew and changed. Rock and roll gave way to the Beatles who in turn relinquished the spotlight to the New Vaudeville Band. We learned to take tests, fail- ures, and frustrations in our stride. We probably remember most vividly our junior and senior years. We sold magazines and planned for months about that one big night - the Prom . . . Shower of Stars.” The year of years, however, was our senior year. To be perfectly honest, we felt some disappointment as we began this last step in the journey. We had always imagined that just being a SENIOR would make us feel differently, more superior, wiser, and better able to cope with all the multitude of problems. Alas, this w isdom didn ' t come. We felt just as insecure as w r e had felt as juniors. In fact, at times we found ourselves pondering whether the subfreshmen were using us as heroes as we had earlier idolized the seniors. We had all the trappings of seniorhood - rings, calling cards, invitations, job applications, college acceptances, college rejections, and draft calls. We could draw some comfort from the fact that we were not alone in our confusion and indecision. But w r e must trust that the future will be bet- ter because we were subjected to this series of regulated events called school in a community and building called Powell Valley High School.

We have just completed the next-to-last” step of our high school career. We can now recall all the events that have made this year so exciting and important to us. Our year was filled with club activities, classes, tests, and much pleasure. The money for our Junior-Senior Prom came from the magazine sales campaign. Ordering our rings couldn ' t have made us happier. The Prom and graduation made us realize that we are only one step away from Senior- hood.

As the athletes assembled for practice, so did we. We had shows for all home games, most of the away games, and of course, the weekly parade to the ball park. We received a first place rating in Division B at the Chilhowie Apple Blossom Festival. Even though the Bristol Band Festival was a little damp, our band did well. We performed in the annual Christmas parades in Big Stone Gap and Norton. The next event in our musical year was to send seven members of our band to the All-State Band West in Abingdon. Much time was spent in rehearsal for our performance at Regional, held this year at Wise. We spent hours practicing for our annual Spring Concert. The year drew to a close with the band performing in the commencement programs. Much appreciation and thanks go to our director, Mr. David Tipton, for making these events possible tor us. 57 Left to Right - Row 1: Lesia Legg, Mary Molly Murphy, Robin Collier, Janet Tilley, Mary Beth Marshall, Nancye Lou Pobst, Man’ Ellen Ward, Arlene Bates, Becki Hart, Patsy Collinsworth, Sheila Stevens, Kathy Shupe.

Our Spring Concert is presented in March to the Powell Valley student body and the elementary schools. Along with those, we perform for the Kiwanis Club Luncheon and the Class Sermon.

Our motto is: We never guess; we look it up. The club members are encouraged to maintain a high scholastic average. Our regular meetings are scheduled every first Wednesday of each month. Special projects for the year include: an orientation for sub-freshman, a trip to the Wise County Public Library and to Clinch Valley College Library, a spring picnic, a new book display, a party for the faculty, and a Book Week assembly program. The library shelves have been filled almost to capacity this past year with new books. Book marks were distributed, and attractive bulletin boards added to the overall appearance of the library.

During its third year the Student Co-operative Association has continued to grow, making greater strides toward ful- filling its aim of benefiting the school, student body, and faculty, and promoting good citizenship. These purposes were prominent in every step taken by the Council this year. Among our projects this year were orientation of eighth graders, sending representatives to Klassroom Kwiz”, spon- soring the homecoming ceremonies, selling jerseys, sponsoring a Field Day, sponsoring intramural basketball games, sponsoring record hops after the ballgames, purchasing the school sign, sponsoring assembly programs, co-operating with the PTA, sponsoring a Student Exchange Day, and numerous other projects. Several members of the Council went to Clintwood this year for the Natural Tunnel District of the State S.C.A., and we feel that the Council benefited greatly. We are very proud of this year, and we hope this organization will continue to grow and make our school a better place to learn, our students more mature and informed, and the tasks of our faculty a little easier and more rewarding. We wish to extend our sincerest appreciation to Miss Frances Sams for the interest she has shown and for the help she has given us. 61 Left to Right - Row 1: Kathy Cooper, Lynn Davis, Carolyn Bush, Loretta Mawk, Shelby Hodge, Dottie Wallace, Janet Jenkins, Phyllis Davis, Nancy Meador, Diane Roat, Deborah Kelly Row 2: Miss Dingus, Mary Molly Murphy, Thelma Swinney, Robin Adams.

However, being equipped with capable juniors, the team should prove better in future years. The Junior Varsity, posting the best record of any other Powell Valley Junior Varsity team with a 16-3 mark, offer promise of better years to come. In the Wise County Tournament the Viking cagers defeated Coeburn in the first round, only to lose to Pound the next night. The following week in the Lonesome Pine District Tournament, the team was victorious over Appalachia, but lost again on the second night to Pound. Three victories over arch-rival Appalachia and the defeat ot Coeburn in the Wise County Tournament were among the high- lights of the season. In the honors line, Randy Fleenor was named to the All-County Team.
