P.C.H.S.: 2,000 Striving Individuals A school is a location, a building, an institution of higher learning; but most specifically, a school is the people inside. The many unique facilities of P.C.II.S. combined to make it one of the finest schools in the state. There were, how- Teresa Johnson, Jane Gloster, Sandi Landis and Goober Johnson pore English Pod. ever, other more figurative aspects. These were realized in a strong team of administrators, a group of hard-working individuals dedicated to keeping the school not only in operation but produc- tive as well, while keeping in mind the best interests of the students. They were realized in the many teachers from var- ied backgrounds and specializations in varied subjects, who came together to provide the best educational atmosphere possible. They were realized in school maintenance persons, the people seldom noticed but responsible for keeping the building in good working order. But the biggest realization of all came from observing the students: 2,000 individu- als from many different areas striving for , ... , the ideals and goals in which they the dictionary in the believed.

Hubble congratulates Social Studies department head Ms. Pat Phillips on her winning of the Purple Cougar Award” presented by Mr. Ingles Ferry Provides The first white men crossed the New River in 1671 searching for the South Sea.” Instead, they found a vast wilder- ness of green, rolling hills that was to become Pulaski County. The first settlers of this land had only what possessions pack horses could carry and a determina- tion to live. The Indian villages which had once dotted the New River Valley were gone, the victims of the white man ' s di sease called small pox, and of the stronger tribes which used the land for hunting. Perhaps the first settlers were Jacob Harman and his wife, who built a cabin of hewn logs near a rich spring on the headwaters of Neck Creek. As more set- tlers invaded their hunting grounds, the strong Cherokee and Shawnee tribes went on the war path. Determined to drive the white men out, they killed men, women and children. The Harmans were among those killed. The first settlement” was built by a religious sect of Germans who called their village Mahanain” meaning two camps.” These Dunkards” as they were later called, were eventually killed or driven out by the raiding Indians. Today, whatever remains of that first settlement lies under the water of Claytor Lake. The settlers were not easily discour- aged. In 1762 William Ingles secured a license to operate a ferry across the New River. This ferry was a center of business over the next 150 years. In 1948 the ferry boat sank with a load of coal, and bridges replaced it. ( RIGHT) New River, recently made part of the sce- nic river system Hows through Pulaski County.

With new set- tlers came their religions. Page’s Meeting House served as a church, school and meeting house. Tradition has it that when Joseph Cloyd brought his new wife to the wilderness of Fincastle County, she insisted on having a church. Joseph Cloyd obligingly and lovingly built her a church, the New Dublin Presbyterian Church. On July 4, 1776, the American Colo- nies declared their independence from England. The rugged men of Fincastle County were ready, for a year and a half before they had already voiced their feel- ings for freedom in the Fincastle Reso- lutions.’’ After the war, the men returned to their homes to begin a new life of free- dom in the land that was to become Pula- ski County. In 1810 the town of Newbern was established. There the first court house of Pulaski County was built. In 1893 the court house burned, along with half the town. A bitter argument evolved over where the new court house should be built. Finally a vote was held, and the new county seat was located in Pulaski, where the railroad was located. In 1864 General Crook led his union forces through Pulaski County, their objective being to destroy the railway and the military storehouses in Dublin. Five confederate regiments met fourteen Federal regiments along the banks of Back Creek. Over five hundred men lost their lives in a desperate fight to save Dublin. The wounded men were carried to the Cloyd houses to be nursed. From five to ten men died each day, leaving their blood stains to mar the floors on which they died. Slowly the citizens rebuilt their homes. The county became rich in agriculture and mining. Later knitting and hosiery mills were established. Today the county is dotted with various businesses and fac- tories, the most recently established being the White Motor Company. ( ABOVE) Page’s Meeting House, Pulaski County’s first church.

These are the opening words of one of the greatest of American documents. The Declaration of Independence. We incor- porate the values and ideals expressed by our forefathers. We generate and regen- erate the pride in self-accomplishment and individualism. We express our appreciation of democracy and our ancestors’ struggle for freedom. We live as citizens in a country where freedom of movement, expression, and thought are not only allowed, but encouraged, where there is freedom to choose an occupation knowing that the opportunities for achievement are almost endless. We live in a state whose government strives to attain a beautiful place of resi- dence — and succeeds. We occupy a state that holds some of the first history made in the New World and in one whose proud sons and daughters fought to cre- ate and preserve the liberty we enjoy today. Pulaski County encompasses some of the loveliest scenery in the state. Cutting through the county is New River, the only United States river that flows north. Surrounded by mountains, the New River Valley holds many historic land- marks. Among these are some of the first pioneer settlers’ sites. Situated in the center of the county, at Dublin, is one of the finest educational facilities east of the Rockies. Soon to enter its third year of operation, Pulaski County High School is an institution in which county residents can justifiably take pride. W ' e, the students, faculty, and workers make up this school. Covering approximately seven acres under roof, the school encompasses US and adheres to our needs. In this, our Bicentennial year, the members of the Cougar Pinnacle staff focused on our roles as Americans, as state and county citizens, and as working individuals. We wish to share with you in expressing the pride we feel in celebrat- ing our nation’s birthday, in living in one of the founding states, in growing within communities rich in historical learning. We wish to share our pride in being a part of an exp anding school, where learning and discovering take prece- dence. Finally, we wish to convey a mes- sage to each individual, to share of him- self in continuing the heritage upheld for so many years. The second edition of the school year- book is dedicated to the free country we enjoy, to our prosperous state, and to our growing communities. More than that, it is dedicated to those who attend our school and help to create the reality it is. The 1976 Cougar Pinnacle is for the P.C.H.S. family housed under these seven acres: the students, the faculty, the staff, and contributors. The 1976 Cou- gar Pinnacle is fo US.

ORGANADEMICS Administrators Discipline, Plan, Care As P.C.H.S. entered its second year of existence, the same team of administra- tors governed the school lives of its fac- ulty and students. Principal Dewey Wil- son welcomed students each day with announcements and directions for the day’s or week’s activities. A principal functioning within a school the size of P.C.H.S. has to be very capable, and Mr. Wilson proved to be just such a leader. Confronted daily by stacks of paperwork, teacher problems, and problems within the operation of the school, he still man- aged to make his daily rounds greeting students and helping make sure they were where they should be — in an effort to keep the sometimes grinding wheels of education moving. Five sub-school principals assisted Mr. Wilson. Their duties were usually con- nected with the grade which they were assigned. They also managed to direct the overall activity of all students by pitching together to insure that such problems as skipping classes, truancy, and lack of achievement by students did not become mounting ones. Mr. Robert Riley served as sub-school principal for the vocational building. Holding that office was somewhat like being principal of a separate school. His duties involved guiding teachers by advising methods of teaching that would be helpful to students in each area. He also directed vocational students’ pro- grams that provided helpful feedback to the rest of the school programs such as D.E. and I.C.T., helping students to begin careers outside school. Stationed in the vocational building, he had a large territory to supervise but proved to be an extremely capable and successful admin- istrator. Mr. Elmer Huff directed Senior activi- ties with a year’s experience proving use- ful during the ’75-’76 school year. He assisted the Senior class in coming to decisions about money-making as well as spending projects. He was almost always available to talk to any Senior with a problem. As Principal of Instruction, he welcomed student teachers, helping them adjust to the school and adding to the warmth of the atmosphere at P.C.H.S. MR. DEWEY S. WILSON, JR.

RILEY Sub-School Principal of Vocational School East Tennessee State University; B.S., M.S. Miss Helen Cecil, vocational secretary, prepares to type. MR. ELMER HUFF Sub-School Principal of Twelfth Grade Principal of Instruction Radford College, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; B.A., M.A. Mrs. Majella Myers Directs Activities Always appearing at school athletic events of every kind was the eleventh grade sub-school principal, Mr. Carl Lindstrom. He proved himself to be a capable coordinator of school events since many of our activities revolved around our sports programs. He sched- uled and directed games, secured offi- cials and helped to make athletics at P.C.H.S. good, clean fun. As principal of the junior class, he shared by lending an ear to student problems. Mrs. Majella Myers, sub-school prin- ciapl of the tenth grade, was the most familiar administrative face to students at P.C.H.S. Each and every morning she trekked to the Commons to begin the grueling task of marking attendance pas- ses. Reprimanding students for poor excuses or tardiness in picking up pas- ses, she managed to write passes with amazing speed. As director of student actitivies, she was a familiar figure at dances, sock hops, and on Club and Activities Day. What more difficult task could be assigned a principal than that of dealing with the largest class in the school? Assigning him the youngest class in the school and requiring him to see that its members were oriented made the task of ninth grade sub-school principal more difficult. Mr. T. Ray Dunavant survived through, and additionally directed the management of the buildings and grounds. Keeping close student-adminis- trator rapport, he found time to talk to students in all grades. He talked espe- cially to those students with parking problems. Surely some of the more difficult jobs at P.C.H.S. fell to the secretaries and helpers at the main office. Miss Helen Cecil — vocational school secretary, Mrs. Patty Williams — administrative secretary, and Mrs. Barbara Crockett — bookkeeper helped take care of paper- work and took some of the load off administrators. Facing irate students and, occasionally, irate faculty members did not make their days brighter, but with chins up, they kept their jobs effi- ciently done. The bleeping” heard throughout the day was controlled by Mrs. Bonnie Ward. She also received and relayed all incom- ing phone messages as well as transmit- ting many outgoing calls. Mrs. Shirley Umberger, secretary of attendance, kept records of students checking in and out, pulled absentee cards and shared the var- ied duties that befell the Main Office at MRS. MAJELLA H.

Sponsors Christmas Basket Drive The S.C.A. comprised of the executive council, first period delegates, and all club presidents, sponsored many activi- ties during the , 75- , 76 school year. The Homecoming and Sweetheart Dance were two S.C.A. -sponsored activities brightened by decorations and flashing lights. Another successful project was the Christmas Drive. This project was a food- and-money-gathering competition between first period classes. Mr. Phil Huff’s first period won second place with $367.56, and Mr. Bob McGinley and Mr. Tom Howerton’s first period won first place with $581.85. The Science Pod took first place, collecting $1016.25. Coach Johnson and Mr. Mickey Hickman played an important part in getting the classes fired up for the competition. The grand total collected was $2329, making the check to the Salvation Army a sum of which the students at P.C.H.S. were justi- fiably proud. JUNIOR: ( FRONT ROW) Darrell Morehead, Sally Gannaway.

Guidance Counselors Schedule Tests The counselors that formed the Guid- ance Department faced some of the toughest problems at P.C.H.S. The big- gest task was to register and schedule approximately 2,000 students. The Guidance Department offered counsel- ing in the areas of future plans, work, school and personal problems. Each guidance counselor selected a specific grade level to specialize in guiding. Throughout the year, counselors were a source of consolation to many distraught Seniors faced with the mounting prob- lems of graduation, college boards, and re-scheduling difficulties. Each week counselors published a bulletin inform- ing Seniors of the latest in the areas of job openings, college information, and general scholastic activities. They admin- istered Scholastic Tests, Achievement Tests and registered students for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Bat- tery Tests. They advised Seniors on col- lege applications, scholarship opportuni- ties and job placement. Their advice proved to be both practical and valuable; and few students left their office feeling confused or unanswered. The confidence that the Guidance Department inspired in P.C.H.S. stu- dents was really unbelievable. There was an assurance that any problem, no mat- ter how trivial, received total attention and the best solution. Although assigned grade levels, each guidance counselor took time to listen to any student, and the warmth generated by their offices was widely appreciated at P.C.H.S. Mrs. Mary Cox was secretary of the Guidance Department. She kept an accu- rate account of the filing of the student registers, each class’s schedule cards, and any other paper work. She added to the open atmosphere in this section of the school. Mrs. Mary Cox, Guidance secretary, warmly wel- comes students who come to the Guidance office for assistance. 18 Susan Campbell discusses a scheduling problem with Mrs. Jean Blankenship.

The Senior Division of the National Honor Society held its first meet- ing in October. Mrs. Marian Lockard and Mrs. Evelyn Tate, Sponsors, conducted this meeting and the group planned to elect officers. Mem- bers turned in nominations to the sponsors who drew up ballots. At the next meeting, officers were elected and plans were made to sponsor a member in the F.B.L.A. Walk-a-thon. One of the club’s major projects was the semester tea for students with grades of B or better. This tea was held in February with help from the junior division. The tea gave students an opportunity to meet N.H.S. officers and to enjoy a break from class. Senior National Honor Society members also were honored with gold tassels for their caps for graduation.

The Junior National Honor Society numbered eighty- seven members this year. Ail were characterized by being scholars in the Junior Class. In February, a tea was held in conjunction with the Sen- iors for the first semester Honor Roll students. All the guests were well-received. The Junior Honor Society also prepared to honor the Sen- ior Honor Society with several tokens in recognition of the Seniors ' graduation. Officers elected in January were President — Trionne Hilliard; Vice-President — Beth Holt; Secretary-Treasurer — Jamie Sypniewski; Reporter — Mitch Martin. The Juniors also expressed their appreciation to their sponsors, Mrs. Jackie Freeman, and Mrs. Audrey Burnett.

Provides More Books, Opportunities The more commonly known as the library, opened at the beginning of the school year and proceeded to provide one of the best resource areas for stu- dents in the country. Including almost 20,000 books, 145 periodicals, and a vast collection of audio-visual materials, the I.M.C. catered to the needs of all stu- dents. As a study area, the I.M.C. proved to be a quiet, relaxing area, conducive to efficient learning. The librarians, with the help of student aides, kept the area in working order, daily cataloging new books and re-shelving used ones. To us, it proved to be an inviting, pleasant area for socializing as well as studying.

The Eng- lish teachers at P.C.H.S. attempted to provide the most innovating and exciting courses pos- sible for their students. Freshmen took a tradi- tionally oriented course. Sophomores took one semester of grammar and could choose an elective for the other semester. Juniors and Seniors were allowed to choose whatever type of English they preferred for both semesters. The field was wide open and inviting with such classes as Children’s Literature,” Advanced Grammar,” Journalism,” Books to Broad- way,” Creative Expression,” Novels on the Loss of Innocence,” and The American Novel.” Scheduling was often a problem when the course students chose was not being taught during their English period. Mrs. Ann Armbrister took this headache and managed to place all students somewhere, while taking into consideration their choices, interests, and abilities. The English Department was the largest department at P.C.H.S. They formed an interrelating group of concerned and inter- ested educators, dedicated to better forms of learning. c Mi!

The Patrick Henry Oratorical Contest, Bicentennial Youth Debates, District Debate, and Dis- trict Forensics provided competition for the six-man debate team and the nine- man forensics team. The debate team also conducted a workshop at Dublin Middle School. At district Forensics, Zondra Barnes won first place in Girls’ Oratory, and Mitch Webb won second place in Boys’ Original Oratory. Gary Webb won district competition in the Patrick Henry Oratorical Contest, and in June traveled to Williamsburg to compete in the Regional Contest.

The 1976 issue of Inklings became a reality through the efforts of a dedicated, small staff which proofread, drew, typed, corrected, hassled over money, and finally published the magazine. There was no elected staff — all members worked on whatever needed doing. Additionally, most of the staff members contributed items for publi- cation in the magazine. Funds for the magazine came from a sock hop sponsored by the staff early in the fall. Because it was the first sock hop, there was an enormous crowd, and the magazine earned enough money to finance all preliminary expenses. Remaining funds came from sales of magazines. Debi Sprinkle, Donald Johnson, and Sally MacAdoo, veterans of the V.H.S.L. publica- tions workshop, provided knowledgeable criti- cisms, and Jeff Haughney, Jane Gloster, Teresa Johnson and Sandi Landis performed various jobs to assure completing the maga- zine in time for spring delivery. After many late night hours of typing, cutting, and taping. Inklings ’76 went to the printers, Messrs. David and Tommy Edmonds. Cathy Hankla was the star contributor to the magazine. Her poetry, which won second place in the Hollins College Nancy Thorp Memorial Contest was printed in the ’76 Inklings. Mr. John Newberry was literary magazine advisor. Miss Patsy King and Miss Suzanne Steele pro- vided invaluable assistance with layout and grammatical corrections, respectively. While Donald Goober” Johnson critically an alyzes one page of the mats for Inklings, Jeff Haughney, Sally MacAdoo and Debi Sprinkle express amusement with one of the poems appearing on another mat page.

Dail, Thompson Edit Cougar Din 1976 The Cougar Din was in its second year of publication in 1975-76. Its staff met daily during fourth period in the English Pod. Mrs. Elaine Jackson, the sponsor, advised and tried to keep morale at a high level. The staff constantly experi- mented with new techniques. Journalism classes supplied articles and columns and helped cover the news scene. The co-edi- tors, Beverly Dail and Linda Thompson, chose articles and were responsible for the layouts. The last edition was a special senior edition with baby pictures and senior superlatives. The 1976-77 staff was chosen by applications approved in the spring of 1976.

Walter Huff prepares captions for the administration-faculty section of Cougar Pinnacle. Work on the yearbook began in August as members congregated to get ad assignments and put in their hours selling them. In September, the hardcore work of covering school events and plan- ning for layouts began. By December, collecting down payments for the year- book was underway, and members missed valuable class time to perform this duty. After these sales, frustration set in as the pages of the Cougar Pinnacle began to not-so-magically appear. Any yearbook staff member defined yearbook” as work, work, and more work. The long hours of frenzied work gained perspective only when the Cougar Pinnacle was complete. Night after night, staff members worked until mid- night to meet a deadline. Layouts, copy, pictures and headlining had to be kept in order, and the approximately 312 pages of the annual had to be planned, typed, and arranged. Exhausted after weeks of late-night work, staff members some- times felt they were working against impossible odds. Students were responsible for all usual classwork since yearbook was, after all, strictly extra-curricular; but sometimes they felt an even greater responsibility the responsibility of publishing the memories of the 1975-76 school year for the 2,000 students and faculty members at P.C.H.S. While Rhonda Flinchum proofreads copy for the annual, Susan Campbell selects pictures to appear i the club section — behind them, other staff members work. 1 i Hours Of Writing, Drawing, Typing Pencil erasers flattened as tired, trapped mortals in the Social Studies Pod committed more and more errors. Goober Johnson, Roma Sutphin, Susan New- some, Pam Spangler, Brenda Riggle, and John Chappell, staff members, worked diligently between snacks of donuts, potato chips, chocolate chip cook- ies, and drinks of Mr. Pibb and coffee ( which did not always stay within the cup). Rhonda Ramsey and Keith Southern ( with help from Mr. Garfield Ram- sey) snapped the yearbook together with a variety of pictures. Rhonda Flinchum, copy-editor, wrote numerous lines of factual and poetic copy. Mike Sut- ton and David Duncan, serving as senior class edi- tors, struggled working with the largest class section in the yearbook. Roma Sutphin played dot-to-dot” designing the yearbook’s cover; Susan Campbell and Walter Huff, co-editors, composed the ladder diagram. Ad contracts and yearbook sales records became part of the responsibilities of Mary More- head, Donna Lovem, Kathy Akers. They held the money bag for the Cougar Pinnacle. Grateful year- book staff members accepted volunteer labor from non-staffers Steve Morris and Vicky Trail. Coaching this team seemed utterly impossible, but Mr. John Newberry, literary sponsor, and Miss Patsy King, advisor, kept ordering, Charge!” even when, as Mr. Richard Elliott, publisher’s representative, said, it was time to drop back and punt.” At Christmas, work on the yearbook was tempo- rarily halted by the grievous death of Mackelheny. The famed mascot had been a charter member of the Cougar Pinnacle staff. Miss Patsy King checks information as Mr. John Newberry types copy for Cou- gar Pinnacle.

Foreign Language Club Shares Facts Mrs. Thalia Looney sponsored the For- eign Language Club with the aid of Co- Sponsors Mrs. Virginia Fizer and Mr. John Freeman. The officers were David Duncan, President; Mike Sutton, Vice- President; Robin Huddle, Secretary; and Reekie Huddle, Reporter. The Foreign Language Club was com- posed of students of French, Spanish, German, and Latin. They had four meet- ings during the school year. During these meetings, students taking one language shared with the others interesting facts about their language, accounts of trips to the appropriate countries, or aspects of a particular culture. Over Christmas vacation, sixteen of Mr. John Freeman’s students took a trip to Germany. They visited many points of interest, including Trier, Heidelberg, the Rhine River, and Innsbruck, the site of the Winter Olympics. The students returned with fond memories exclaiming about the friendliness of the German people. Plans for this trip began in 1974. The students had many interesting anec- dotes to share with the other members of the Foreign Language Club;. ( FRONT ROW) Becky Huddle, reporter; Robin Huddle, secretary-treasurer.

German Students Visit Germany Foreign Language encompassed four sub-departments: French, German, Spanish and Latin. The French curriculum involved four years of concentrated study. Mrs. Thalia Looney provided her students with many interesting diversions. Games like Fran- cat’s ( French bingo), word tosses, and the singing of French songs encouraged students to learn. Students also practiced the French accent by repeating dialogues in class. The German classes at P.C.H.S. enjoyed a very interesting school year. Sixteen German students, along with Mr. and Mrs. John Freeman, spent Christmas vacation in Germany. They visited many points of interest including the Alps, Innsbruck, the site of the Winter Olym- pics, and several castles throughout Ger- many. They also had a stopover in France. They enjoyed collecting souve- nirs to bring back. Several of these sou- venirs were shared with other German students. The students’ experiences helped give them a better understanding of the German language. Spanish students enjoyed a year of studying with headphones and pre- recorded tapes of Spanish dialogue. In spite of tests and incessant vocabulary quizzes, the students enjoyed a richly accented and colorful language. The Latin students again brought life to this ancient and popular tongue. Latin, a base language for many other languages, served several purposes; and the students learning this language gained an understanding of how the first great civilization communicated.

Social Studies Department Stresses Relevance, Culture, Heritage, Elections The educational advantages presented by this year’s Social Studies curriculum provided the student body with insights into the relevance of the workings and procedures outlined by our government officials and the moods of different cul- tures around the world. Many hours of thoughtful material-sorting and discus- sion among the administrative officials prior to this teaching year developed the new curriculum taught in the Social Studies Pod in 1975-76. The World of Geography courses pro- vided freshmen with an overall view of the different cultures distributed around the world. Exposure to these cultures and their development from eras gone by enhanced the students’ understanding of the standards of living, religions, occupa- tions, art forms, government, and atti- tudes of people in the various countries on earth today. The U.S. History program focused upon the heritage of all Americans from the first Puritans to the great Immigra- tion in the 1930’s. The Juniors also stud- ied rather thoroughly the first govern- ment of the U.S. A. and how the govern- ments and its power, the Constitution, grew as the country grew in size, resources and maturity. This study was a direct link to the America we know today. The Seniors, in their last year at P.C.H.S., study in depth our state and federal governments, all the Presidents, the Congress, the courts, and the author- ity and actions each was allowed accord- ing to the Constitution. Mock elections, conducted in the Social Studies Pod, gave Seniors experience for the up-com- ing Presidential and Congressional elec- tions. Their knowledge of government helped them in their choice for a Presi- dential candidate. For the commemoration of the Bicen- tennial, the teachers in the Social Studies Pod sponsored the Patrick Henry Ora- tory Contest. This was a contest among all participating students to relate, before a panel of judges, ideas on our nation’s heritage and patriotism. Win- ners received special recognition. Many outspoken teachers worked in the Social Studies Pod. Among them, Miss Pat Phillips, Pod Chairman, deserved special recognition for filling in several chores and duties throughout the year to keep the department running smoothly. She also posed as spokes- woman for the Social Studies Pod and challenged other pods to raise money for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Dona- tion Drive. 38 Mr. Harry DeHaven sits on a desk while lecturing to his third period U.S. History class.

The Black Student Union was organ- ized during the 1975-76 school year. The club encompassed approximately fifty members and grew throughout the year. The club’s main projects were com- pleted during Black History Week, Feb- ruary 9-13. In this Bicentennial year, the black students gave special credit to important black patriots of our past. Black heritage was very important to the students at P.C.H.S. Learning about one’s ancestors and to know some of their great contrib- utions to this society, P.C.H.S. students felt that Black History Week was very successful. During that week a talent show was presented with many members enthusias- tically taking part. Other projects included a mural drawn by Chris Walker, Helen Carter, Eddie Burleson, Terry Meade and Kathy Adams. The mural was exhibited in the Commons. Each morning during Black History Week, black students presented informa- tion concerning the accomplishments of black people. The Black Student Union also kept correspondence with other high school unions and made plans for a college scholarship fund. In March, they sponsored a dance. Co-ordinators for the Black Student Unio n were Ava Manns and Reggie Slaughter. The Union sold refreshments during the Homecoming Bonfire to acquire the funds to finance their activities. 41 Humanities Department The Humanities Department expanded this year, in an effort to reach as many students as possible. Approximately thirty seniors were in class first and sec- ond periods each day while approxi- mately thirty juniors were present fifth and sixth periods. These students studied to receive English and American History or American Government credits. They also studied aspects of the fine arts — lit- erature, art, music and media. Humani- ties students took field trips to places they studied, thus providing realistic and meaningful learning experiences. Trips to museums, universities, and special productions were all planned to cultur- ally enrich these students. They were privileged to have several important guest speakers to help them understand their daily studies. Another aspect of the Humanities pro- gram was Independent Study. Independ- ent Study involved students choosing an area of study, securing an advisor in that area, and finding their own time to pur- sue this study. This year it was possible to be involved in Independent Study without being a Humanities student. Throughout the day the Humanities room was available to students who wished to work on their Independent Study during their study hall periods. Each student had to draw up and have approved a contract which he fulfilled during the year. Each student was also required to complete at least 180 hours of study in order to receive a class credit. Other requirements included an end of the year project in each respective area as well as regular meetings with advisors.

Art Club Sells Medallions The Art Club met twice a month dur- ing the activity period and was open to any interested art student. Local crafts- men and artists came and presented pro- grams of interest to the club. Rudolph Farmer presented a very interesting pro- gram on painting portraits in pastels. Other programs throughout the year involved woodworking, painting, and many other crafts. The club undertook many projects during the year. Members worked hard selling Bicentennial medallions to raise money. They decorated the banks in the area, and at Christmas time, contributed their efforts to trim four Christmas trees for the Commons. Each tree reflected a different era from America’s past or present. Beverly Dail, Art Club member, works on a painting during her Art class period. Fine Arts Department Offers Students’ Individual Expressions Mrs. Martha Ireson, Mrs. Lyndall Mason, Mr. Greg Quesenberry, Mrs. Edna Love, Mr. William portrait. The Fine Arts Department offered studies in many varied forms of art. Included were choral and instrumental music, dramatics, sculpture, and paint- ing. More importantly, the Fine Arts Department provided the opportunity for each student to express himself indi- vidually. When the Little Theater at P.C.H.S. was completed, myriad uses for the stage were found. Constantly filled with rehearsing bands, choral groups, and actors, the Little Theater provided enter- tainment almost every period of the school day. The stage was also the scene of mini-Pep Rallies, flag corps and majorette practices, as well as a retreat for an occasional undiscovered artist. Results of the hours spent in the Little Theater were evident in the Fall Produc- Propst, and Mr. Skip Maiden pose for their formal tion, A Salute to Broadway,” in the Christmas and Spring Band and Choral concerts, and in various productions by groups outside our school. While the band, choir, and drama rooms were clustered around the Little Theater, the Art Department was located in the Math Pod. The expansive art room contained many creative tools that ena- bled the art students to produce many exceptional works. The art students dis- played these works in the showcases in the Commons Area. They also conducted craft sales that netted individuals as well as the Art Club reasonable profits. In Spring, students participated in and viewed the annual art show. The Fine Arts Department offered a retreat into beauty, and a chance to express oneself. ( ABOVE) One of the Art Department’s finest efforts is Sammy Moore’s salute to the Bicenten- nial.

Endless autumn afternoons were •xpended in practice and repetition drill- ng on a dusty field, but the many tire- tome afternoons produced great results. The summer abode for the band again his year was Concord College in W. Va. There, this year’s new combination of Irum major and drum majorette, Steve Vforris and Karen Cecil, respectively, tried their hands at directing their band an field for the first time. The marching iCougars practiced their opening show with 112 instrumental players, 16 flag corps girls, and 8 majorettes. As every band member gained experience and confidence, the band show improved. Football games were the first stage for the Band’s exciting live entertainment. The first halftime shows featured Que- jade,” one of the favorite pieces of the Band. The Band also lined up during pre-game shows and played the school song as the football team was cheered on field by the Cougar fans. Marching competition and parades proved the most rewarding. The colorful Chilhowie Apple Blossom Festival awarded the Cougar Band with a Supe- rior rating and a trophy for an outstand- ing performance before the judges and other competing bands. The band also returned during the year to Concord Col- lege for Field Competition and Mass Band participation, also capturing first place in this widely known competition. In the Radford Christmas Parade, the band marched away victorious to the tune of the $100 First Place Band Award. This has been a most memorable year for all the players who would like to express their gratitude for the dedication and diligence of Mr. William Propst, Band Director. Also assisting the March- ing Band were Mr. Skip Maiden, Flag Corps Director; and Mrs. Carolyn Simp- son, Majorette Sponsor.

Under the dedicated and careful eadership of Mr. William Propst, Band Hrector, all the band members excelled a their own musicianships and added to he total ability of the band. During the weeks following football eason, the band prepared several selec- ions of Christmas music. The Sym- I ihonic Band shared time with the Cho- us and Combined Concert Intermediate land to present many Yuletide favorites o the student body on December 19. The music practiced during the Spring 1 nonths went into preparing several diffi- ult pieces of music expected to tax the ull ability and talents of players in the I band. This work was for District Band Festival. The competition gave the band an opportunity to really show its stuff before three judges and other area bands. The last Festival was held March 13 at Abingdon, Ya. Auditions for the 1976 All-Regional Symphonic and Concert Band were held at Patrick Henry High School in Glade Spring on December sixth. Nine P.C.H.S. Band students succeeded in placing in the two Regional Bands. Students awarded Symphonic Band seats were Pam Spencer, Becky Corder, Bonny Deyerle, Robbie Flint, John Chappell, Dave Duncan, and Walter Huff. Dave Kindle and Mike Sutton were chosen as alternate Symphonic players; Sandi Landis made Concert Band. Many of our All-Regional Band mem- bers ranked in the upper chairs of their instrument sections. The two bands prac- ticed the music for their concerts during January 30th, 31st, and February 1st and presented the final performance on February 1st. Band Executive Officers who confer- red with Mr. Propst in making decisions were elected last fall. They were Becky Corder, President; Cindy Dobson, Vice- President; Bonny Deyerle, Secretary; Chuck Pound, Treasurer; Mary More- head, Reporter.

These musicians were aware of their abilities and worked to meet the challenge of more difficult music the following year. On December 19 the Concert Band combined with the Intermediate Band to present an excellent Christmas Concert in collaboration with the Concert Choir and the Symphonic Band. The Concert Band also participated in District Festi- val for music grades I, II, and III. This festival was hosted by P.C.H.S. Many members of the Concert Band anticipated moving into the Symphonic Band in ’76-’77. They attempted to improve their skills before another year. Brenda Neater, Nena Koch, and David Windle relax in the sun while the majorettes practice in the background. Majorettes practice and clown as they rehearse for the next halftime show. The Concert Choir of Pulaski County High School was com- prised of thirty-eight students from grades nine through twelve. Auditions, musieal ability and previous choral experi- ence were some of the qualifications needed to participate in the choir. Thirty-eight voices joined together to entertain clubs and organizations in the community. Highland Manor Nursing Home and the Rotary Club, and to carol in Pulaski and Dublin during the Christmas holidays. The Concert Choir also partici- pated in many activities at the local, regional and state levels including District Festival. Frequently the Concert Choir sang the National Anthem prior to basketball games. Members of the choir took part in the school musical Salute to Broadway”; also, several choir students competed in the Bland Memorial Scholarship Contest held at P.C.H.S. Leading the Concert Choir were officers Roma Sutphin, Presi- dent; Steve Morris, Vice-President; Ron- nie Dalton, Secretary-Treasurer; Lynette Morris, Reporter; and Mr. Greg Quesen- berry. Director. November brought tryouts for all- regional chorus at Emory and Henry Col- lege where thirty-one out of fifty-two P.C.H.S. students were chosen. Pulaski County was honored by having the larg- est number of students chosen in this dis- trict. All-Regional Choir was held Febru- ary 20-22 at P.C.H.S., and juniors and seniors could try out for All-Virginia Chorus held May 10-12 in Williamsburg.

Girls’ Choir Give Spring Concerts Under the direction of Mr. Gregory Quesenberry, the Non-Selective Mixed Choir was open to any student who was interested in music but had had little or no choral experience. The Mixed Choir performed in the Christmas Concert and participated in District Festival. Decked out in burgundy robes and gold satin sashes, thirty-five students performed in second period class. Meeting fourth period was the Girls’ Choir. These were girls from all grades, grouped non-selectively. Learning the fundamentals of music, such as sight- reading and balance prepared them to advance in music. Both Mixed and Girls’ Choirs were able to try out for All-Regional Chorus. Members of these choirs who were named to All-Regional were Robin Cain, Susan Hagy, Jeannie Cook, and Pam Sto- vall.

Thirty schools from southwest Virginia were represented by 184 stu- dents. These students were selected from over 500 who auditioned at Emory and Henry College in November. The students arrived at Pulaski County High School on Friday morning for the first rehearsal that started at 1:00 p.m. They were very fortunate to have as their director Dr. Lawrence W. Eisman from New York City. The students rehearsed Friday afternoon and evening and all day Saturday for the public concert, which was given on Sunday afternoon. Pulaski County was represented by thirty-five students. They were Sarah Agee, Robin Cain, Carol Clark, Jean Cook, Karen Cecil, Susan Hagee, Pam Stovall, Lynette Morris, Roma Sutphin, Lori Glass, Shawn Dalton, Nelia Larson, Trionne Hilliard, Margie Morgan, Carol Dawson, Regina Cooke, Mindy Mabry, Debbie Stoots, Carol Forbes, Ronnie Dal- ton, David Dalton, Bill Byrd, Emmett Tolbert, David Clark, Mike Trueheart, Troy Arnold, Mike Sutton, Robbie Flint, Gerald Worrell, Steve Morris, Jerry Wil- kins, Mark Hearn. On Friday afternoon juniors and sen- iors auditioned for All-Virginia Chorus, which was held at the amphitheater in Williamsburg May 6-8, 1976. Twenty students and eight alternates were selected to represent District VII. Of th ese students five were from Pulaski County. They were Roma Sutphin, Carol Clark, Trionne Hilliard, Bill Byrd and Rob Flint. Steve Morris, Lori Glass, Troy Arnold, Mindy Mabry and Gerald Wor- rell were selected as alternates. Regional chorus proved to be a very worthwhile and rewarding experience for several students from throughout southwest Vir- ginia. During Sunday afternoon warm-ups.

Present ” Salute To Broadway” Thrice From the actors’ entrance to Consider Your- self at Home” from the Musical Oliver” to the final salute of Give My Regards to Broadway,” the cast of Salute to Broadway,” Pulaski County High School’s first major musical production entertained nightly. In observance of the nation’s Bicentennial Celebration Salute to Broadway” was adapted by its directors Greg Quesenberry and Skip Maiden as the choral music and drama departments’ historical scrapbook of song and dance from the great American theatrical institu- tion, Broadway. Highlights from musical produc- tions as diverse as George M., Mame , Porgy and Bess, Camelot, The Sound of Music, The Wiz and Godspell were presented in this historical musical collage. Rehearsals for the production began in Sep- tember and continued three nights a week until January. The tired, but exuberant cast was sad- dened to see the production end, but was grati- fied by the standing ovations on January 15 and 17 and the special demand performance given on January 24 to another standing-ovation crowd. The real grand finale of the performance came as the actors and actresses received their plaudits in the theatre lobby following each night’s perform- ance.

On Saturday, November 21, 1975, nine Pulaski County thespians traveled to Bristol to compete in the Virginia Intermont College Invitational One Act Play Festival. The P.C. Players presented an interpreter ' s theatre adaptation of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s long narrative poem, The Murder of Lidice.” The play Mas set in World War I in the little village of Lidice, Czechoslovakia. The Nazis claimed that the village of Lidice har- bored the assassin of one of its chief henchmen, Reinhard Heydrich. Since the exact assassin could not be found, Adolph Hitler commanded that the vil- lage and its inhabitants be destroyed as retribution. The toM r n was burned on the tenth of June 1942, and its inhabitants were either killed or defiled. Miss Millay wrote the poem to awaken the world to a lag in conscience at the time of the Sacho and Vanzetti trial. Judges Judy Rude of V.I. and Cathy DeCaterina of the Bristol Children’s The- atre awarded the cast of Lidice” the first place trophy in the competition. The cast included three seniors and four freshmen, and of the cast of seven, five were chosen to be a part of twelve All Star Cast Members” chosen from all competing school’s casts. The All Star Cast” included P.C.H.S. seniors Vicky Trail, Cathy Hankla and Roma Sutphin and freshmen Juliet Hardy and Larry Long. Roma Sutphin received a special commendation for her original song Butterfly” used throughout the P.C.H.S. show, and Mike Weeks and Donald Sipple received plaudits for their lighting technology. Juliet Hardy, a freshman, was named Best Supporting Actress in the entire festival, and Cathy Hankla, a senior, was awarded a $500 acting scholarship for being named the festival’s Best Actress. Student Director, Vicky Trail directed The Murder of Lidice” with assistance from P.C. Players director, Mr. Skip Maiden. Vicky’s direction was a senior drama project which helped to win for her a full paid drama scholarship. The Lidice” cast brought to P.C.H.S. its first awards for drama in 1975-76.

Players The P.C. Players were formed for the students interested in Drama and for those students who had performed in school one-acts, musicals, and drama classes. A small but unique group met during the activity period to work on decision-making matters. Members of the P.C. Players were David Clark, Brenda Riggle, Mike Sutton, Cathy Hankla, Trionne Hilliard, David Dun- can, Steve Morris, Vicky Trail, Carol Clark, and Roma Sutphin.

There were twelve green faced frogs, The Jeremy Fisher Dancers” ( Mike Sutton, Barbara Arnold, Sheila Clark, Jimmy Cullop, Ronald Boyd, Nena Koch, Jay Brillheart, Ava Manns, Gerald Worrell, Trionne Hil- liard, Steve Morris, Diana Jaap), an ensemble group of six ( Cathy Hankla, Vicki Trail, Roma Sutphin, Randy Kirby, Anthony Slaughter, Leon Myers), two pantomimists ( Mark Ward and Chris Walker), two musicians ( David Duncan and Libby Linkous), two seamstresses ( Lisa and Cindy Bedsaul), and a light technician ( Ted Graham). The Frog Review” Cast competed in the District One-Act Festival held at E.C. Glass High School in February and the Regional Festival hosted by P.C.H.S. in March. In both competitions they received superior ratings which accomplishments entitled the cast to attend the State One-Act Festi- val held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville April 1-5. Performing and working among other schools, attending the State Festival brought an atmosphere of learning to those endeav- oring in the world of drama. High winds extended the trip for an overnight stay with lots of hot soup and laughter in Waynesboro. The Gala New Musical Frog Review” was written by Frances Smith and Bruce Gatti. The play involved three skits: The Clever Gretel,” The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” and The Frog Prince.” Mr. Franc is Shelton, Mrs. Edna Loftus, Mrs. Evelyn Tate, Mr. Jesse White, Mrs. Juanita Robertson, Mrs. Ruth HoU, Miss Emma Gallimore, Mrs. Edna Ken- ‘ nedy, and Mrs. Joann Smith. II Math Department: Experience Teaches Math was often considered an elective but all students took at least two years of this subject. There were many types of math — corrective, practical, semi-aca- demic, and college-preparatory. Courses ranged from remedial math courses to Math Analysis and Elementary Probabil- ity. The Math Pod proved to be more than a learning ground for rithmetic” or cipherin.” Teachers drew up tough daily work plans and confronted students with mind-challenging problems. Experi- ence was a great teacher and homework assignments proved that one just could not always pick it all up in class.” Our math scholars were encouraged to participate in events such as the Radford College Math Rally and the National Mathematics Test. Some math back- ground also proved helpful on College Boards and Achievement Tests. The biggest problem teachers found while trying to carry on class, was the double classroom setting. It was hard to concentrate on one subject when another was being taught in the other half of the room. Teachers often became confused as to whether their students or others were causing disruption in these situa- tions. The study of mathematics pro- i vided students with an outlet for con- structive energies and a more logical way to deal with the world.

Achievements Multi-F aceted The Science Department proved to be one of the most colorful combinations of talents in our school. How did one react to news of dangerous explosions occur- ring in the teacher-supervised chemistry labs? What did one do when confronted by balloon-laden students muttering about battered eyes after attending Psy- chology class? Did one merely blush and step aside when, upon ascending to the crows nest” of teachers’ offices, one found desks not-so-neatly labeled with nicknames like Bunchy?” Of course much creative learning occurred in the Science Pod. Biology 9 and 10 provided students with information on health, animals, ecology and genetics through study and experimentation. Teachers teamed to create functional learning techniques through field trips and individual atten- tion. Chemistry students fulfilled con- tracts to prove progress while Physics students enjoyed solving many interest- ing problems concerning matter in our universe. Psychology combined experi- ments with guest lectures to give its stu- dents a well-rounded, healthy view of life. Science teachers demanded that stu- dents fulfill their learning potential, and laziness was not abided. Each student was encouraged to do his very best. A Science Fair held in the Spring further emphasized the achievements of students in each area of scientific endeavor. ( SEATED) Mrs. Elrica Graham, Mrs. Ruth Alice Sloop, Mr. Bruce Henderson.

Several field trips were con- ducted throughout the year. These included trips to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Greenback, West Virginia, the Radford Army Ammu- nition Plant and Computer Center, and many departments of Virginia Polytech- nic Institute and State University. Mr. Don Anderson drew the appreciation of the club members and sponsors for his help in arranging several of the field trips. During Christmas, a Seminar was held with several graduate members of the P.C.H.S. Science Club. They advised club members on ideas for presenting their papers at the Virginia Junior Acad- emy of Sciences held May 7-10 at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. The Science Club members’ projects diversified from completing the nature trail to building a rocketry range and wind tunnels. Some projects were entered in the Science Club-sponsored Science Fair Mary 5. P.C.H.S. winners went on to the Western Virginia Regional Science Fair at Roanoke College on April 10th. The club’s pet” project, the Nature Trail, continued to expand this year. Many students put in hours on Saturdays and some on Sundays to clear out over- brush and debris on the trails. Several scientists from Virginia Tech told the club about the history of the area and what changes and improvements could be made in the future. A pond site is ten- tatively being planned for the trail. Last year, a contest was held to choose the title of the Science Club’s newspaper. The winning entry, submitted by Parris Anderson, was Shooting Star.” Con- gratulations, Parris!

The Ecology Club began work on an alternate energy source project this year. Many ideas for the project were handed in and the matter was discussed fre- quently. The object was to make the best possible use of solar energy. In Febru- ary, the Ecology Club resumed its county-wide paper drives. These were held each month, all year round. Other Ecology projects included skiing and back-packing trips and plans for more lengthy trips — perhaps out West this summer. The Ecology Club strove to pro- mote conservation of natural resources leading to a better environment for US.

Instills A Willingnesss There were many individuals at Pula- ski County High School. The Special Education Department was designed to meet the needs of some of these individu- als. The goal of Special Education teach- ers was to help solve the special prob- lems of our students. These included learning, as well as school adjustment difficulties. Special Ed. teachers pro- vided resource classes equipped with learning materials to assist students as much as possible. The goal was to bring about a close student-teacher relation- ship, but also to teach independence and self-reliance. Special Education teachers instilled in students self-respect and a willingness to learn to cope with the world around them.

The varied areas of study provided a stimulating atmos- phere, conducive to learning. This year The World of Communications class completed an expansive darkroom. Since these students had been studying aspects of photography, they were able to develop and see the almost immediate results of their efforts. This class also studied media and use of the printing press. The World of Construction left us with many useful products. One of their pro- jects was an impressive frame for a huge football used as a Homecoming Dance decoration. The World of Manufacturing intro- duced students to the work-a-day world on the outside. They studied types of jobs, availability, pay rates, and types of preparation. Industrial Arts Education provided students with an immediate marketable skill.

Only students enrolled in construction or communication classes could join. The l.A. club strove to bring together students with a common inter- est so they could exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share common purposes. The Construction division conducted a field trip to construction sites, and they listened to speakers on real estate and building trades. After Christmas, they surveyed school needs. The Communications division kept busy working on the new darkroom. They also made use of it through individ- ual projects in the areas of photography, developing, and machine work. Education, labor, and management organizations recognize the important role that Industrial Arts activities played in the development of I. A. students. Teachers sought to hold these activities in order that the students might develop to their fullest potential. Clay Bane, Clark Moore, and Rhodora Burton select sections of shingles for their World of Construction pro- ject. 73 Home Ec. Dept. Specializes Child Care involved a study of a child’s development through his early years. Mrs. Debbie Griffith taught this class, placing emphasis on nutrition and proper upbringing. Students in Child Care conducted a day-care center and nursery for the faculty’s children and children in the neighborhood. Several students also worked with children at a local kindergarten. Child Care prepared its students for careers in early child- hood education and care. They learned skills that made them eligible for place- ment at nurseries, day-care centers, and other places where proper care of young children was needed. Food Services prepared students for jobs at cooking and serving establish- ments. This year. Food Services students operated the Cougar’s Den Restaurant offering nutritional lunches for the fac- ulty and guests. They also became the Cougar Caterers specializing in such treats as Sock-it-to-me Cake, pineapple- cream cheese pie, and rum balls. Mrs. Betty Jo Smutzer, Mrs. Phyllis Brumfield, Mrs. Donna Bodkin, and Mrs. Debbie Griffith, members of the Home Economics Department, relax in the Cougar Den restaurant. Under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Brumfield, Food Management students began a study of international foods. They kept a recipe file of the foods they prepared. In the spring, the Food Man- agement Class, along with the Science Club, held an International Foods Feast to promote the study of these foods and the skills developed by these students. Home Economics II students studied child development, home furnishing, sewing, nursing and consumer educa- tion; while Home Economics III students studied choosing and managing a home, housing, and marriage. The Home Eco- nomics and Family Living Classes con- ducted a mock wedding involving exten- sive planning and preparation. The result was a beautiful ceremony, perfect in almost every detail. Family Living Classes covered the study of pregnancy, consumer education, marriage, budget- ing and planning and preparing meals. Clothing management involved an advanced study of sewing. These stu- dents kept notebooks of sample fabric? and each was required to create three projects displaying her skills. In Janu- ary, they held a fashion show to culmi- nate the studies and exhibit the results. Mrs. Betty Jo Smutzer and Mrs. Bodkin instructed in the latter areas.

Combines Theory, Mr. Duane Dishon, Mr. Coleman Schuler, and Ms. Elissa Walters work in the Agriculture Department offices. Horticulture, the growing phase of the Agricultural Education program, was offered for students interested in positions in floraculture, landscaping, greenhouse operation, nursery plant production and turf management. Study included using the soil and other plant-growing media, landscape design, and plant propagation and growth. Ms. Elisa Walters taught Horticul- ture II, III, and IV. These classes were for tenth, eleventh and twelfth grad- ers. The Horticulture classes were self-supporting through sales of different crops they raised. These included mums, poinsettias, Easter lilies, snap dragons, bedding plants, house plants. Facilities for the Horticulture Department con- sisted of two greenhouses, a classroom, a lath house, an outside area and a school nursery farm. The two-hour classes of Horticulture involved one hour of class- work and one hour of lab. The one-hour classes alternated one day of classwork and one day of greenhouse work. In addition to the practical experience stu- dents gained working in the greenhouse. Practice emphasis was also placed on learning salesmanship, how to communicate with people, and how to please the publi c. The Agriculture Education Program was designed for all Pulaski County stu- dents and residents who wished to gain knowledge in some aspect of the field of agriculture. There were two agriculture teachers, Mr. Duane Dishon and Mr. Coleman Shu- ler. During the first two years in Agricul- ture, students were exposed to a wide range of classroom and laboratory activi- ties which ranged from selecting and breeding livestock to completely over- hauling small gasoline engines. In agri- culture classes students were introduced to the opportunities the field of agricul- ture offered. Each nine weeks, agriculture students rotated working in the Agriculture shop or in the classroom. A variety of activi- ties was available to students. Agricul- ture students also were required to do either an agriculture production or an agriculture experience program each year. These involved either a farming program or working with some type of agriculture occupational experience.

The F.H.A. emblem, a home held by two hands, symbolized the theme of the clubs: the homes of the future are in the hands of the youth of today. All projects and activities of the F.H.A. were geared toward building character and toward betterment of family life. One of the main goals of the club this year was to learn to do crafts to be used in home decoration. Girls learned to be reliable and dependable through money-making projects such as making hot dogs before home football games and sponsoring a sock hop. The money earned was applied toward state and national dues to make the club open to all. Fun activities included a skating party sponsored by F.F.A., F.H.A., and H.E.R.O., a Christmas party, a banquet, a spring picnic, and camp in the s umm er. In order to join F.H.A., a student had to be enrolled in or have had one year of Home Econom- ics. H.E.R.O.-F.H.A. was a club for members of occupational and child care classes. There were thirty-five members. The object of H.E.R.O. was to increase the students’ awareness of career opportu- nities in home economics related areas. During the year the members held a skating party with the F.F.A. These two clubs also attended camp and held the end of the year picnic together. H.E.R.O.-F.H.A. also participated in the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon. In Spring, they held a Parent- Member Banquet. There the outstanding members of food services and child care services received awards. JLr- . 77 F.F.A. Sells Florida Citrus At Christmas The year 1975-76 has been a very active one for the Pulaski County Chap- ter of Future Farmers of America. The F.F.A. took part in many community, school, and club activities. The main money-making activity was selling Florida citrus fruit. Fourteen hundred cases of fruit were sold. All the members participated and the top 5 sell- ers received money prizes. The top seller was Tommy Williams, who sold 125 cases. The fruit sales were very success- ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH GRADE: ( FRONT ROW) Kathy Quesenberry, Gail Keis- ter, Renee Morris, Sally Gannaway, Jimmy ful. $50.00 of the profit was donated to the S.C.A. fruit basket for the needy at Christmas. Another program taken by the F.F.A. was a B.O.A.C. project. Plans were made to construct sidewalks, plant flower gar- dens and trees, and reseed the grounds at the tennis courts in Dublin at the Middle School. To celebrate our Bicentennial, the F.F.A. planned and organized a Tree Hall of Fame.” This involved planting a Cecil, Dexter Gravley.

Daily, the buzz of typewriters kept rhythm with turning stenographers’ pages. Such was the scene in the business department at P.C.H.S. A model office surrounded by rooms of desks and type- writers kept students constantly busy preparing for business or secretarial careers. Personal Typing also catered to the needs of seniors preparing for col- lege. Students in office occupational courses learned to index and file, to use calculating and adding machines, to operate a copier and many other skills designed to make them the efficient clerks and secretaries of the future. Students preparing for careers in busi- ness had to be proficient at math to be successful in bookkeeping and account- ing. The business department also offered two-year courses that began dur- ing the junior year. Stenographic and Secretarial Training II, Clerical Typew- riting II and Data Processing and Cleri- cal Accounting II provided seniors at P.C.H.S. with a useful background for entering the job market after graduation.

Sponsors Walk-A-Thon Charity Great services for the community and student body were provided by the Future Business Leaders of America. A Walk-a-thon last April was conducted for a distance of seventeen miles across Pulaski County to raise needed funds for the March of Dimes. Several thousand dollars were generously contributed by the citizens of Pulaski County to aid the handicapped. At school, the F.B.L.A. sponsored a sock-hop in the commons. Many times they operated the concession stand at football and basketball games. During the Christmas holidays, a field trip was conducted to Joy Ranch Chil- dren’s Home in Hillsville. The F.B.L.A. members took gifts and Christmas good- ies to the kids at Joy Ranch. Officers elected to lead the F.B.L.A.

Students Study, Work Part-Time The Industrial Cooperative Training Department proved to be one of the most resourceful programs at P.C.H.S. Mr. Jim Gettys and Mr. Bob Hosp were responsible for helping many students locate jobs. Students involved in I.C.T. were often free to go to work early in the day. This on-the-job training assisted stu- dents in finding proper employment at places where advancement opportunities were available. The Distributive Education Depart- ment put emphasis on sales promotions and selling skills. These students were often involved in jobs that brought them face-to-face with the public. Instructors, Mr. Ted Viers and Mr. Don Smith, worked to give their students self-confi- dence in the many areas and through the many problems they encountered in dis- tributive employment.

In Vocational Trades and Industries classes, students were given valuable training in preparation for careers. These students also provided services for patrons of our school and the public. Cosmetology I students learned the basics of hairdressing — aspects of tint- ing, cutting, trimming, and setting hair. The beauty parlor” setting of the cos- metology department proved inspiring for our aspiring beauticians. Cosmetol- ogy II students worked to complete the 2,000 hours required to be eligible for the State Board Examination of Profes- sional Hairdressers in Virginia. The Health Assistant program involved lessons in hospital aid. Students learned to bathe, serve, and care for V.I.C.A. Dept. Offerings Are Varied patients. This training assisted them in finding employment upon graduation. The course also opened the door to many health occupations such as nursing. Building Maintenance I and II helped students to develop skills in many areas. Training in welding, masonry, wood- working and electricity was included. Electricity I and II were three-hour blocks. Electricity I taught the basics — running cables for switches and rough- ing walls. Electricity II included more technical wiring. One of the projects of Electricity students was the wiring of a darkroom in the World of Communica- tions class. Auto Mechanics class proved extremely valuable to students and fac- ulty. Students performed tune-ups and corrected any automobile problems that occurred during the day. Suited in red coveralls, these students performed intri- cate, interesting repairs.

District Contest The Distributive Education Club of America — otherwise known as D.E.C.A. — is an organization whose program of leadership and personal development is designed specifically for those students enrolled in Distributive Education. D.E.C.A. had an enrollment of 36 which congregated at a fall rally at Clay tor Lake. District Contest was held at New River Community College. The con- test involved job interviews, public speaking, sales demonstrations, and dis- plays. Mary Anne Murphy took first place in Job Interview and Diana Lynn Foutz held first place honors in Display Contest. In the spring an employer- employee banquet was held to give mem- bers an opportunity to do something extra for their bosses. An interesting field trip to Tangle wood Mall to observe behind the scenes labor was conducted in the spring. D.E.C.A. gave each student the chance to experience leadership duties, work with others and compete in contests on the local, state, and national levels.

The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America was a national organization for students who were involved in vocational studies. There were several divisions of this club at P.C.H.S. The V.I.C.A. clubs met each month to plan activities and share experiences. They often listened to speakers or discussed the job openings in their particular areas. V.I.C.A. Cosmetol- ogy assisted with the Beauty Pageant, constructed a Bicentennial display, made a visit to the nearby rest home where they gave haircuts, shampoos, and sets, and hosted the State Hairdressers Affili- ate. In January, all V.I.C.A. clubs merged to sponsor a sock-hop with the proceeds being evenly distributed among the divisions of the club.

Among these were the following efforts: V.I.C.A. elec- tricity wired the twin darkrooms for the communications classes to aid the latter in their study of photography. V.I.C.A. building trades constructed model homes and larger tool buildings. These were used as projects to display, and some of them were sold. V.I.C.A. auto mechanics provided tune-ups and car repairs for faculty and students. A small charge was made for these corrections. This also gave these students an opportu- nity to work on their own cars. Other ser- vices were provided throughout the year and P.C.H.S. greatly benefitted from the efforts of this organization.

Pep Club Buys American Flag At P.C.H.S. this year, the Pep Club conducted many activities to promote spirit. Many girls participated in the vari- ous club activities. Some of the different projects the club sponsored this year were selling ' ' Cougar Power” buttons and pom-poms, performing skits during the pep rallies, and making posters for the play productions. One of the largest projects taken on by the club was the handling of football pro- grams. During the summer many girls visited area businesses to secure ads for the programs. During the home games members of the club took care of selling programs. To promote more school spirit, the Pep Club often gave out spirit rings. For every event, members made locker stick- ers for the participants. The purpose of the club was to pro- Donna Lovern tapes up another sign — this one encouraging the members of the basketball team to mote better school spirit and sportsman- Smlc l1, ship throughout the school. The mem- bers who worked hard to do this received special awards for their work at the Pep Club Banquet in the spring.

Department Offers Many Opportunities The Physical Education Department at P.C.H.S. performed a wide range of duties for the student body. This depart- ment reached every grade level through required or advanced courses or the many types of sports. Freshmen took health classes learning to combat diseases and maintain proper dietary habits. They also participated in many types of indoor and outdoor sports. Sophomores took Driver’s Education. They learned defensive driving skills as well as useful information about operat- ing an automobile. Safety was empha- sized by showing films of accidents and by inviting speakers who discussed the accident rate in Virginia. Tenth graders were also active in the gym or out of doors, taking advantage of the many facilities at PCHS. Advanced P.E. classes for Juniors and Seniors allowed the individual student to expand his own interests in a particular sport or to maintain good health. This department made a statement to the school that utilization of our health and our bodies prompts the most vital use of ourselves.

Bus drivers Stanlev Fagg. Joev Hollins, and George Linkous pose near the loading area. 98 Thompson, Petrone, Aust Fill Needs Pulaski County High School owed a debt to the workers who filled the jobs that could not be titled. These were the vacancies that required a knowl- edge of many subjects or a gathering of several abilities. Ralph Petrone became the full-time substitute teacher for P.C.H.S. His work brought him in contact with all grade levels and subjects. In the fall of 1975 he served as an assistant football coach for the Cougars. He also served as a library aide on the days when he was needed as a substitute. Mr. Jim Thompson served as study hall monitor during the 1975-76 school year. His duties were manifold. He operated from the Math Pod, the English Pod and the Vocational build- ing. Keeping a class of sometimes unruly students under control was not an easy job. Daily Mr. Thompson sent students to the library with assorted reasons for departing. He also assisted students with study problems as well as disciplinary upset, and he patrolled on bus duty every morning and after- noon. Bleep, Bleep, Bleep,” meant our building engineer was needed in some part of the building. Mr. Milton Aust performed some of the most necessary duties in our school. Whenever there was a problem in heating, lighting, or electricity at P.C.H.S., Mr. Aust was on hand to lend his expertise in the areas. The smooth operation of the P.C.H.S. building was his responsibility. The constant in-and-out flow of stu- dents of P.C.H.S. was partially the responsibility of our bus drivers. They had to provide safe on-schedule trans- portation for much of our 2,000 stu- dent enrollment. This job was more dangerous than it seemed. Through- out the year, films on the hazard and results of improper behavior were shown to students. Awareness of the problems encountered by bus drivers improves conduct. Bus drivers often took additional long trips with the band, athletic teams and other groups. The gift of life, highly esteemed, brought a sense of respect of responsi- bility closer to us.

Cafeteria Serves Nutritious Meals This past year, the students of P.C.H.S. were exposed to many varied lunches. Many new food ideas such as the Bicen- tennial Banana” were tried. Some of these new ideas went over well, and some did not. There was a price raise from forty-five to fifty cents in the Class-A lunch this year. This did not, however, seem to bother students; and most felt that lunch was a good and nutritious meal for the money. In addition to the regular lunch, the popular a la carte line was offered again. Many students enjoyed this line because they had a choice of what they wanted to eat. Also, a faculty dining area was added this year. Because of this addi- tion, we did not hear cries of students that it was unfair for teachers to break line. The addition, however, made a little more work for the cafeteria staff. Each member of the cafeteria staff was assigned to a special department. The manager of the cafeteria was Mrs. Ann Morehead. The Assistant Manager was Mrs. Lois Morehead. The ladies who worked in the vegetable and salad department were Mrs. Ruby Roseberry, Mrs. Pat Smith and Mrs. Lois Morehead. Mrs. Millie Younce, Mrs. Carolyn Tibbits, Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, Mrs. Ann Mabry and Mrs. Lucy Eanes prepare fishcakes and hot dogs for the day’s lunches. Part-time helpers, Mrs. Virginia Edwards, Mrs. Diane McCurry, and Mrs. Janie Wright, begin to prepare trays for the onslaught of hungry students soon to arrive. Mrs. Carolyn Tibbetts, Mrs. Ann Mabry, Mrs. Millie Younce, Mrs. Margaret Mitc- hell, and Mrs. Lucy Eanes worked in the meat department. The women in the bak- ery department were Mrs. Goldie Turpin, Mrs. Elsie Dalton, Mrs. Alma Myers, and Mrs. Bobbie Hawks. Those who worked in the dishwashing department were Mrs. Essie Phillips and Mrs. Isabell Tester- man. Cashiers for this past year were Mrs. Dot Wheeling, and Mrs. Sue Lan- dreth. Part-time workers were Mrs. Diane McCurry, Mrs. Janie Wright, and Mrs. Virginia Edwards. Mrs. Ann Morehead takes time from her manage- rial duties to smile for the photographer. 101 a’ Custodians: Tops At P.C.H.S. Custodial duties undoubtedly entailed some of the most nerve-wracking jobs to perform. It was a never-ending struggle to keep our school clean, sanitary, and in good working condition. Custodians were frequently the victims of student abuse, and many custodial efforts remained unthanked. A staff of twelve managed to keep P.C.H.S. the pleasant school it was. Custodians operated on two shifts. After school hours the purr of vacuum cleaners accompanied the sound of cleansing water. Our school often needed ceiling and room repairs. These jobs almost always fell to our custodial staff. The realization of the utter neces- sity of the completion of these jobs made us marvel how a job that big was ever accomplished, let alone daily. The efficient custodial staff of P.C.H.S. for 1975-76 included Mrs. Lucy Adams, Mr. and Mrs. ( Ila) Ralph Neese, Mr. Bobby Gene Hunter, Mr. Leon Clark, Mr. David Webb, Mr. Silas Marchbanks, Mr. Charles McGuire, Mr. Leonard Tickle, Mr. Charles Lawson, Mr. William Jones, and Mr. Eugene Thorton.

Its goal was to provide community service in alliance with the Kiwanis Club and the Circle K of New River Community College. Throughout the year the Key Club was responsible for the raising and lowering of the flags each day at our school. This club also sold ads and published the bas- ketball programs, helped the Kiwanis Club with the Haunted House at Hallow- een, and sold tickets to the Kiwanis Cir- cus held in March. The proceeds from these activities were used to send Key Club members to the Key Club Conven- tion held in Maryland during April. The Key Club also went co-ed this year with the addition of the Keyettes. These girls proved to be worthy members and added much to make this year a successful one for the P.C.H.S. Key Club.

Meet Regularly The Interdenominational Christian Fellowship offered students at Pulaski County High School an opportunity to share their common interest in Jesus Christ. Members were from different backgrounds, but there was the bond of love through the grace of Christ to bind them. They met in the I.M.C. and the choral room where various speakers, including teachers. Campus Crusade for Christ representatives, and former stu- dents addressed them. Also, sometimes members themselves taught lessons to small groups. Mrs. Hullinger showed filmstrips at some of the meetings. Through fellowship at meetings and the sharing of miracles in the lives of the members, all of the group grew in knowl- edge and understanding of Christ. The I.C.F. tried to exhibit the love and hope of the Lord to students at P.C.H.S. There was an effort to show that Jesus Christ does change lives. Through this effort, members became more aware of the power of Christ in their own lives. I.C.F.

Chess Club This year’s Chess Club was initially a mass of chess players. Later, the club organized into several skill levels for real competition among the club members. Many hours of involved playing time kept the players in deep concentration over their games. During winter, Pulaski Middle School issued a challenge to our Chess Club, and was promptly met by several responses from P.C.H.S. club players eager for out- of-school competition. The club mem- bers also had hopes of forming an area chess league with several of the nearby schools, next year. Officers for the Chess Club were: Mil Russell — President and Jeff Hoyt — V ice-President. Sponsors were Mr. Whytal and Mr. Watts. Chess Club officers are Mil Russell, president; Jeff Hoyt, vice-president. 106 Photography Club, Shutter, Shutter! The Photography Club was a new organization this year. Sponsors Mr. Charles Atkins, Mr. Mickey Starr, Mr. Phil Huff, and Bob McGinley introduced the idea as a means for bringing together the amateur photographers at P.C.H.S. Many members of the club were students in the World of Communications class, while others were conducting studies in the Independent Study Program. Emphasis was placed on the develop- ment of individual skills. With the addi- tion of the expansive darkrooms in the vocational building to the science pod darkroom, members learned to develop black and white films. More advanced studies involved developing color slides and printing color slides. ( ABOVE) Pat Callahan gets everything into focus before shooting.

P.C.H.S. saw many interesting pas- times and diversions among its students during the 1975-76 school year. New dances, with emphasis on the Bump” and the Hustle” brightened sock hops. Fashion-paced changes in wearing apparel relieved us of jeans and T-shirts in transition to a more frequent appear- ance of dresses and dress-up trousers. An avid interest in sports prompted adventures in snow-skiing and water acrobatics. Movies influenced wearing apparel when Jaws” T-shirts, socks, and stuffed pe ts appeared. One of the most far-reaching and long- lasting fads came with the appearance of the Citizens Band Radios. Many of our students purchased or were given these for their cars, and the result was an influx of truckers’ lingo at our school. Ten-four” replaced the traditional affirmative response. Phrases like How ’bout a copy on that Panama Red” to call someone or Have a good day today and a better day tomorrow” as a farewell became common. A year of interesting changes including the above made 1976 memorable. On a warm fall day, students stroll through the parking lot. Raggedy Ann and message adorn dash of Tom Lineberry’s car.

Mr. Ken- neth J. Dobson, Superintendent of Pula- ski County Schools, awarded diplomas as Mr. Dewey Wilson, P.C.H.S. principal, and Mr. Carl Lindstrom, assistant princi- pal, announced the graduates. As each student received his diploma, his parents were allowed to stand and be recognized. Plans for graduation ’76 involved designing announcements, fitting caps and gowns and practicing for the main event. The Senior Steering Committee met frequently to discuss and decide the format for the announcements. Announcements were engraved in gold, a first at P.C.H.S. Inside the announce- ments the words of T. S. Eliot appeared. The message expressed the emotions of most graduates and provided a predic- tion for the future: We shall not cease from exploration And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.” ( ABOVE) Mrs. Barbara Crockett, bookkeeper, shows the cap and gown to senior Dennis Tickle.

Whether the classes were academic, busi- ness, or vocational, new and interesting teaching methods were used to involve all of the students. Students in the Family Living Class planned and executed a mock wedding as a project in their study of weddings. Stu- dents and faculty members assumed roles in the wedding. The Humanities Department taught all of its students to operate video equip- ment. Throughout the year they pro- duced several television programs for the school. The Science Pod was in disarray for several weeks for the duration of the Sci- ence Fair. Many students enjoyed the efforts of their fellow students. Some classes were to prepare students for jobs after graduation from P.C.H.S., and some were to prepare students for higher education. Regardless of their specific purpose, the classes were for the benefit and enjoyment of the students. 1 1 s Construction, Performance Are Class Results A wide selection of vocational and academic classes were offered at PCHS this year. Two of the more popular voca- tional courses were Horticulture and Welding. In the Horti- culture classes students learned exactly how to get down to earth,” while welding students were taught how to get it together.” I.C.T., C.O.E. and D.E. were almost entirely pop- ulated by juniors and seniors. Other courses ranged from Auto Mechanics to Trades and Industry. Academic classes offered a wide variety. From elective courses such as Eng- lish, students found that the monotony of school could be broken by having such a large selection of both academic and vocational courses. Many courses produced associated extra-curricular results. Building trades students con- structed ticket boothes, technical drafting students printed posters and tickets. Drama students combined classroom- learned techniques and hours of practice to produce a supe- rior one-act play.

A preliminary job was to decorate the stage. Artistic volunteers worked to cre- ate images that followed the theme lines. Entertainment was begged, borrowed, or stolen. The abundance of talent at P.C.H.S. made it easy to find willing participants. Then the selection of music and practicing for the big night began. The most important components — the contestants — also pre- pared for the pageant. Practicing with the escorts, learning to carry themselves gracefully, and getting helpful hints on pos- ture, make-up, and width of smiles, were efforts made by the girls before their appearances on stage. On pageant night, three eliminations yielded a list of semi-finalists. Backstage, the girls primped, giggled nervously, and gave each other moral support — quite a difference from the poised, relaxed appearance they presented on stage. During pageant rehearsal Suzanne Armbrister poses a question as escort Mike Mooney appears bored. 118 Steve Morris, Sarah Agee, and Roma Sutphin practice Tie a Yellow Ribbon for the 1975-76 Miss P.C.H.S.

The first Miss P.C.H.S. Beauty Pag- eant was held in March 1975 and was sponsored by the S.C.A. and the Cos- metology Department. The theme You Are So Beautiful” was evident when the curtains opened to reveal the sixty-nine contestants. Mr. John Newberry served as Mas- ter of Ceremonies. Judges for the pag- eant were Ms. Jan Smith, Mr. Charles Day and Mr. Danny Bird. They delib- erated through three eliminations to determine the semi-finalists. Entertainment was provided by Becky Willard and background music for the contestants was played by Sarah Agee and Shawn Dalton. Aided by the applause of well-wish- ing parents and friends, the judges tal- lied the results and the winners were announced. Escorts Mark Vaughn, Earl Ray Lemon, and Anthony Slaugh- ter presented roses to second runner- up, Janet Webb, first runner-up, Ruthie Franklin; and, as Mr. Dewey Wilson placed the crown on her head, to the first Miss P.C.H.S., Jennifer Sue ]y| r |) ewe y Wji gon crowns Pulaski County High School’s first beauty queen, Jennifer Sue Quesenberry, Quesenberry. as runners-up Janet Webb and Ruthie Franklin smile.

The pageant, in keeping with the Bicentennial spirit, bore the theme Declaration of Beauty. Ninety-eight girls paraded before the three judges and a packed Little Theatre.

After much deliberation, the judges could not decide on one winner so for the first time, co-winners were chosen to represent P.C.H.S. They were Miss Ava Manns and Miss Ruthie Franklin. The Pageant was sponsored by the S.C.A. and the Cosmetology Department. S.C.A. proceeds were used to finance Homecoming and other activities. 121 School Life At P.C.H.S. Encompasses A Wide Variety Of Activities School life involved a many-faceted series of activities. Morning began with harried but smiling administra- tors recording attendance and check- ing excuses for validity. Soon, teach- ers in classrooms, outside or on field trips, began to present the day’s pro- gram of instruction. While instruction was uppermost in instructors’ minds, students leaned toward fashions and extra-curricular activities as items of most importance. Platform shoes, band, athletics vied for their attentions. While many stu- dents lounged in the sun and waited for buses, others marched to the prac- tice field and perfected flag routines, while yet others boarded the vans and journeyed to another away game. Mr. Robert McCinley explains a biology procedure to a student. Linda Morehead and Alice Bolen travel to another away game.

Gibson Agee Reign, Homecoming 1975 Homecoming week was celebrated from October 20 through October 24, 1975. One of the highlights of this action-packed week was the bonfire which was held on Tuesday night. The Science Club and the Black Student Union sold refreshments. A snake dance was held around the stadium, and all who partic- ipated enjoyed it tremendously. The Homecoming Pep Rally was held on Friday during fifth and sixth periods. Several mini-floats were on display, and the F.F.A. float won first place. We enjoyed the candy store skit which the Pep Club presented, and we cheered all those suck- ers” who took part. The students really joined together as one at this great pep rally. After the game, the S.C.A. sponsored a reception in the com- mons area for the Class of 1975. Many old grads came and enjoyed the refreshments and the fellowship. For the dance the S.C.A. decorated the gym in the school col- ors of burgundy, gold, and white. Many lovely decorations were used including a huge football placed in the center of the gym.

The Band Boosters” sold refreshments at the concession stand in the gym. Also, couples could have their pictures made if they wished. At 10:00 the Homecoming Court was introduced. The thirteen couples introduced were John Baker and Cathy Dunavant, Matt Skewes and Jonna Midkiff, Erby Turpin and Allison Haller, C. J. Burkes and Pam Miller, Troy Arnold and Joby Webb, Mike Trueheart ( stand-in for Rick Clark) and Ava Manns, Jeff Blankenship and Robin Fagg, Larry Gibson and Karen Cecil, Ronnie Dal- ton and Trisha Garrison, Nelson Ham- ilton and Debbie Craig, David Aider- man and Renee Alexander, and Keith Dickerson and Cindy Dobson. The Homecoming King and Queen for 1975 were Gary Gibson and Sara Agee. Homecoming week ended on Sun- day with clean-up activities in the gym. Fewer students attended this aspect of Homecoming, but the week was definitely a success. Fall Varsity Cheerleaders lead the first cheer at the Homecoming Pep Rally held in the gymnasium. The Winter Varsity Cheerleaders indicate that they want the students to yell even louder as spirit rises in the Pep Rally. Cheerleaders and students stand to cheer for the football team at the Pep Rally for Homecoming.

This speetacular event was staged through the diligent efforts of the junior class. Decorations were Hawaiian in theme; grass huts and a sunset mural served as focal points. Lights were low, and fruit bowls centered the tables. Another exciting facet of this dance was the entertainment. Those attending enjoyed not one band but two. Harpo’s Cashouse Gang was the featured band with Sequoia taking over during rest breaks. The evening was high- lighted when seniors were announced — one of the final chances for them to be recognized before graduation. The 1976 Junior-Senior Prom began with music by Leroy Brown. The Cougar Gym reflected the Bicentennial motif, and displayed a beautiful decorating job. Students mingled to share the excitement and reveal a finer nature as they turned out in their best garb. Nerv- ous energy was prevalent thro ughout the fast-paced dancing. Proud faces and tearful smiles, accompanied by some embarrassed shuffling complimented the announcement of seniors by Mr. John Newberry. The evening ended with smiles and sighs and summer stretching ahead for US.

RONALD LEE BAIN JOHN BRUCE BAKER WALTER WAYNE BAKER DEBRA SUE BARKER . ! SSC Assists Officers The Senior Steering Committee was grouped to work with the senior class officers to make decisions about senior activities. Meeting the needs of seniors through making announcements, working with the blood mobile, the senior-faculty basketball game and senior-sponsored dances, the senior steering committee worked to bring the best for the class of ’76. Elected from government classes, each representative brought ideas to meetings to insure participation of the entire class in decision-mak- ing. The committee expanded the effectiveness of the officers of the Class of ’76. Members of the committee are Randy Simpson, George Linkous, Larry Gibson, Kay Farmer, Gary Webb, Barry O’Neil, John Baker, Dennis Hamblin, Kathy Dunavant, Linda Harrison, Roma Sutphin, Pam Miller, Shawn Dalton, Debbie Craig, Tammy Glenn, Nelia Larson, Pam Underwood, Beth Cabaniss, Tammy Havens, Keith Southern, Bruce Hill, Sponsor, Mrs. Edna Loftus, Perry Gregory, Bonny Deyerle, and Matt Skewes.

AUDREY JANE BRATTON BETTY MARIE BRATTON DEBRA LYNN BRAY RANDALL JOE BROOKNER 138 Seniors Develop A Phobia About Government Shawn Dalton poses a question in Mrs. Maria Davis’s fourth period government class. When juniors planned their final year in high school, there was one decision over which they had no control — they had to take American government. No one ever said that the study of America’s political system was easy; and so far as the members of the Class of ’76 were concerned, no one ever would. Seniors developed a phobia about passing gov- ernment. For some reason, almost all of them at one time or another thought that they were just not going to get that make- it-or-break-it assignment in. This year, seniors took great pains, learning about government the traditional way. Some of the required projects included creating a political party, including name, cand i- date, qualifications, and party policy; memorizing parts of the Constitution; and compiling and analyzing surveys on current events. Since 1976 was an elec- tion year, seniors were able to take part in campaigns and register to vote in November 1976. American Government prepared students to be better citizens — giving US a better chance at surviving tomorrow.

' 139 Seniors Sponsor Red Cross Bloodmobile In the cold air of January 30, 156 Jun- iors and Seniors walked to the vocational building to donate a pint of blood. As a senior-sponsored activity, the American Red Cross Bloodmobile set up their quar- ters in the Practical Nursing room. Jun- iors and seniors eighteen years of age, and those seventeen years of age with their parents’ permission, were able to give blood. Teachers, administrators, and friends from the community also contributed to the effort. Despite turning away twenty-one students, the Bloodmo- bile ended the day reaching their quota of 135 pints. As seniors worked putting up posters, making announcements, and reassuring nervous students, they experienced the sensation of helping others. The project proved to be a great success. En route to the leeches,” students and others enter practical nursing room to give blood for the senior- sponsored bloodmobile.

Members of the senior class canvassed door-to- door in Pulaski County to sell subscriptions of over three hundred popular magazines. Homeroom was held daily for the duration of the sale in order for students to turn in money and orders from sales. An added incentive for the individual to sell subscriptions was coupons. These coupons were given on the basis of the number of subscriptions sold. These coupons were redeemable at the school clinic for a variety of items such as candy bars ( which might or might not have had a dollar bill inside), stuffed animals, iron-on transfers, record albums, and other exciting prizes. As they had in past years, the members of the Class of ’76 proved themselves terrific salespersons, selling $1791.81 worth of subscriptions. The top individ- ual salesperson, was Diane Cullop who sold $84.00 worth of magazines. The magazine sale was a success and provided the Class of ’76 with plenty of money for class projects. majorette 9, 12. janie elricha cook — h.e.r.o.-f.h.a. 11. patsy joanne cook — f.b.l.a. 11, 12, newspa- per staff 10, band 9-11. regina joye cooke — newspaper staff 9, reporter 9, g.a.a. 9, art club 10, chorus 9 - 12, all-regional chorus 10 - 12. rebecca elizabeth corder — science club 10 - 12, s.c.a. 12, chess club 10, national honor society 11, 12, band 9 - 12, president 12, all- regional band 10 - 12, stage band 9 - 12, Vir- ginia bicentennial band 12, who’s who among music students in american high schools 12. amy lynn counts — tri-hi-y 9, g.a.a. 9, f.c.a. 10, ecology club 10, science club 11, 12, sec- retary 11, national honor society 11, 12, 2nd place science fair 11, track 10, basketball 11, 12. carol annette covey — g.a.a. 9, 10, s.a.e. 9 - 11, secretary 10, president 11, national honor society 11, 12, s.c.a. 11. robert keith covey — v.i.c.a. 12, basketball 9, j.v. baseball 10.

We defeated Carroll County by the score of 16-8, but it was not just the fact that we had won. After the game was over, the fans still cheered as the hand kept playing the school song. It seemed as if no one wanted to leave Soldiers Field for the last time. The blue and white streamers on the goal posts were left tattered where people had torn souve- nirs. The people sang the school song over and over, and I had never been more proud or happy that I had had the chance to go to D.H.S.” ....

Secretary. The only requirement was to make a three-minute speech in front of the entire student body. I was in the ninth grade and had had little experience speaking before an audience. I worked for several days on my speech and finally perfected it. Finally, the big day came. We all waited our turns to speak. When it was my turn, I could hardly make my legs carry me to the podium. I made it, however, and got through my speech okay. Then, the crucial waiting period for tallying the votes began. When the results came, I had lost the election, but I had won in other ways. I had learned how to overcome my shyness by cam- paigning; but most important of all, I had learned to be a good loser. As I look back on my high school career, I see many pleasant experiences and many great friends. But I am most grateful for one thing: I had the opportu- nity to come to this school and meet all the wonderful people I have met. It’s sad to think that if this school hadn’t become a reality, I would have missed out on a lot of new friends and experiences.

Rhonda Ramsey types copy for the 1976 edition of Cougar Pinnacle. Commentary: Ramsey, i Made Many Friends At P.C.H.S.” The most significant experience in my high school career was transferring to P.C.H.S. this year. I was very appre- hensive about moving in my senior year because I dreaded breaking ties and leav- ing friends. After all, I’d spent four years at Radford High School and was expect- ing to graduate among life-long pals. The first few weeks I closed myself in, feeling sorry for my situation and marooned in a large, lonely building. My biggest sur- prise was the friendly atmosphere I dis- covered when I allowed myself to. Since then, I have made many friends and feel as if I’ve been here for a long time. I anticipate graduation, and I look for- ward to many happy, future experiences with my friends — the 1976 Graduating Class at P.C.H.S.” Rhonda Ramsey 149 Commentary: Glenn, i Learned I Had Courage I Had Not Known I Had.” Being a member of the cast of Salute to Broadway” was a great experi- ence for me. We spent long hours and hard work rehearsing, but it was all worthwhile. I gained new friends, worked under the direction of two tal- ented men, Mr. Skip Maiden and Mr. Mont Quesenherry, and I learned 1 had courage I had not known 1 had.” Tammy Glenn Senior Tammy Glenn studies in the preparing for the last few months of school and for life. diana farmer foutz — g.a.a. 9, d.e.c.a. 11, 12, chaplain 12. quentin dale franklin — f.c.a., v.i.c.a., d.e.c.a., ecology club, homecoming court 9, basketball 9, football 9, 10, wrestling 9. kelly worrell freeman linda carol funk clinton lynn gallimore — f.f.a. 9 - 12. helen irene garner patricia ann garrison — pep club 9-11, vice- president 12, g.a.a. 9, 10, tennis team 11, 12, j.v. cheerleader 9, 10, varsity cheerleader 11, 12, homecoming court 12, i.c.f. 9, 10, musi- cal 12, national honor society 11, 12. debra jean gates — f.b.l.a. 10, 11, i.c.f. 11, Spanish club 10. gary ray gibson — f.c.a. 9-11, s.c.a. 11, 12, president 12, monogram club 11, homecom- ing king 12, j.v. basketball 9, varsity basket- ball 10 - 12, high school all american 12. larry lee gibson — f.c.a. 9, 10, monogram club 11, s.c.a. 12, senior steering committee, homecoming court 12, class president 12, j.v. basketball 9, varsity basketball 10 - 12, most valuable player 11, Christmas tournament most valuable player 12, high school all american 12. coretha renee gilmer — g.a.a. 9, 10, pep club 10 - 12, foreign language club 11, secretary- treasurer 11, i.c.f. 10, band 9 - 12, national honor society 11, 12, flag corps 10 - 12, cap- tain 12, s.c.a. 9. thelma victoria glenn — g.a.a. 9, 10, science club 9 - 12, chess club 10, pep club 10 - 12, i.c.f. 10, national honor society 11, 12, cho- rus accompanist 9, 10, class president 9. edward lynn goforth, jr. — f.c.a. 9 - 10, key club 12, science club 12, national honor soci- ety 11, f.f.a. 9, 10, greenhand degree, chap- ter farmer degree, forestry award, basketball 9, football 9, 10. bryant sherwood gravley james thomas gravley, jr. alvin dean green — f.c.a. 11, 12, black stu- dent union 11, 12, monogram club 12, foot- ball 9 - 12, basketball 9, 10, track 9 • 12. perry eugene gregory — f.c.a. 9, 10, vice- president 10, monogram club 10, secretary- treasurer 10, science club 10, 11, key club 10 • 12, secretary 11, president 12, national honor society 11, s.c.a. 10 - 12, chess club 9, 10, class president 10, j.v. football 9, 10, track 9. donald rae hagee, jr. — football 9 - 12, co- captain 12, band 9 • 12.

I had worked toward becoming a senior ever since I was old enough to realize what being a senior really meant. Being a senior means that I am about to see the victori- ous end of a long, hard, twelve-year struggle. It means that I have finally made it to the top, and at last Til have a chance to go on to bigger and better things.

Boys’ State In June 1975 three Pulaski County High School students attended the Amer- ican Legion Boys’ State at Lynchburg College. The three, Rob Flint, Steve Mor- ris, and Gary Webb participated along with other delegates from high schools throughout Virginia. A week of athletic competition, entertaining speakers, and education in Virginia government was highlighted by the election of a General Assembly — Governor, Lieutenant Gov- ernor, and Attorney General. Speakers included Lieutenant Governor John Dal- ton, Attorney General Andrew P. Miller, and Lieutenant Commander Paul Chris- tian, a former P.O.W. All participants in the Boys’ State program returned home enriched by new friendships, new ideas, and a better understanding of their gov- ernment.

These words from the Girls’ State creed made their impression upon 607 delegates at the 1975 Virginia Girls’ State. Arriving on the cam- pus of Longwood College Sunday afternoon, June 15, after missing a bus, P.C.H.S. delegates were greeted by the Girls’ State staff who directed them to their places. Sarah Agee, Mary Ann Dean, Elaine Legette, and Roma Sutphin, experiencing a bit of nervous excitement, began the wonderful experi- ence of getting acquainted with new faces. The pur- pose of Girls’ State was to provide citizenship train- ing; opportunities to live together as self-governing citizens; to promote understanding and participa- tion in the functioning of government; and to ena- ble delegates to grasp the meaning of the responsi- bilities which they must assume when they become adults. Girls’ State came to an end as Girls’ Staters and staff said goodbyes and left for home. . . . therefore, may the experience of Girls’ State be with me as a reminder of my obligation to my coun- try.’’ ( from the closing of the Girls’ State Creed.)

Explain.” Below is one response: Yes, although:I do not feel that our conduct was actually intended to set examples or that it should have been. I feel that we have been a great class and that this has been a great year, but it’s not all because of the examples previ- ously set by other classes.

Best Positive Example.” Members of the senior class were selected at random and asked the follow- ing question: Do you feel the seniors set a positive example for the rest of the student body? Explain. Below is one response: Yes, I definitely believe the senior class sets an example for the rest of the student body. I think that the senior class in any high school sets an example that relates to the student body as a whole, but this year senior influence seems most important. A senior realizes the responsi- bility and maturity which must prosper throughout life and develops these through the years of high school. The senior class sets the example that makes this school what it is today because the rest of the student body follows the sen- ior example. I believe the Class of 1976 will leave the best positive example that this school will ever know — after all, we are number one.” 165 Eddie Goforth Commentary: Armbrister, Everyone Works Together.” Members of the senior class were selected at random and asked the follow- ing question: What advice would you offer an underclassman to make his years at P.C.H.S. more enjoyable?” Below and on the following nine pages are their responses: I think that to be able to enjoy your- self, you have to be with and work with other people. I think it’s good for a class to have a closeness like the senior class has. It’s easier to do things when every- one works together.” Suzanne Armbrister Suzanne Armbrister surveys the scene from her perch atop the book return.

Instead, do as much with your classes as you can. W hen the underclassmen get to be seniors, they will probably realize, as I have, that they have wasted much time. Also, try to get involved in some school activities. The things that are not taught specifically in the classroom, such as getting along with others and leadership qualities, are important aspects of a personality. Through school activities is a great way to learn these things.’’ Kay Farmer A smiling Kay Farmer studies outside in the sun. 168 SUSAN LANE PRATT RODA ROBIN QUESENBERRY REBECCA SUE RAMSEY RHONDA LEE RAMSEY TAMARA JOAN RAMSEY MILDRED ANN RASNICK DONNA JEAN RATCLIFFE BRIAN KEITH REDD david wayne pagan — v.i.c.a. 12, band 9-11, baseball 9, wrestling 9. charlie lee pannell — f.c.a. 9, 10, f.b.l.a. 9, 11, basketball 9. james mark patterson — tri-hi-y 9, 10, vice- president, key club 11, 12, vice-president 12. ronald lane patterson — k.v.g. 9, f.b.l.a. 10, monogram club 10, boys’ state 11, football 9 -11, basketball 9, 10, baseball 9 - 12. anita gail pearce — g.a.a. 9-11, science club 9 • 12, i.c.f. 10, library club 10, chess club 9 - 11, foreign language club 12, national honor society 11, 12. alien wayne phillips — football 10. jeffrey dale phillips — science club 9, d.e.c.a. 11, 12, cross country 11. terry lee phillips - v.i.c.a. 11, 12, president 12, s.c.a. 12, band 9 - 12, pep band 12, stage band 11, 12, susan lane pratt — physical education club 9 - 11, secretary 10, vice-president 11, Spanish club 9, science club 11, v.i.c.a. 10, s.c.a. 9, 10, treasurer 10, basketball 9, 10, track 11. roda robin quesenberry — v.i.c.a. 12, chap- lain 12. rebecca sue ramsey — library club 9, f.b.l.a. 10, 11, secretary 11, d.e.c.a. 12, vice-presi- dent 12, national honor society 12. rhonda lee ramsey transferred from rad- ford 12, pep club 9 - 11, annual staff 9 - 12, photography editor 11, 12, f.t.a. 11, photog- raphy club 11, 12, national honor society 11, 12, g.a.a. 9, 10, track 9. tamara joan ramsey — f.h.a. 9, i.c.f. 11, f.b.l.a. 10 - 12, scrapbook committee 11, co- historian 12. mildred ann rasnick f.h.a. 9, 10, tri-hi-y 9, 10, f.t.a. 10, s.c.a. 9, 10, national honor soci- ety 11, 12. donna jean ratcliffe v.i.c.a. 11, 12. richard lee ratcliff brian keith redd — art club 10, 11, basket- ball 9, 10. 169 KAREN ELOISE RUNYON PATRICIA LEE RUPE REBECCA RORRER RUPE JOHN MILTON RUSSELL SHELBY JEAN ROOPE LLOYD DOUGLAS RORRER PANSY LEE ROSEBERRY SARAH YOUNG ROOP 170 kathryn Christine redd — black student union 10 - 12. scotty kevin reedy — f.c.a. 9, baseball 9, wrestling 10.

Don’t let the fact that you are an underclassman inhibit you. Become involved in school activities and get to know this school. P.C.H.S. is very different from Middle School, and a knowledge of school poli- cies and rules benefits underclassmen. Make the best of your early years in high school, because one day, sooner than you realize, you will be an upperclassman, and the responsibility of setting an exam- ple will be placed upon your shoulders.” Kathy Akers 171 172 DONALD LEE SIPPLE WILLIAM MATTHEW SKEWES PERRY GRAYLON SLAUGHTER sharon gay sayers — tri-hi-y 9-11, trea- surer 11, g.a.a. 9-11, annual staff 9, band 9-11, flag corps 10, 11, track 9, 10.

Commentary: Sutphin, Give.” The best advice I could give to any under- classman would be to expect little unless you give a lot. Putting a foot forward to do some- thing whether it be in sports, music or dramat- ics, you find yourself smiling and feeling great, because you have made the special effort to make P.C.H.S. the best. Believing in yourself, showing a simple smile each day in the hustle-bustle crowd, gives an unexplaina- ble happiness to a senior. Give, and you will be able to look at yourself, not only as a student, but as a stepping-stone for those who follow close behind.” Roma Sutphin They can who think they can” — Roma Sutphin relaxes after a harrowing day of keeping photographer’s subjects identified. 12 . eva joan semones — transferred from jef- ferson forest high school 9, f.b.l.a. 9, annual staff 12. jesse scott shelor — f.f.a. 9, 10, secretary 10, f.c.a. 9, 10, forensics-debate club 11, 12, vice-president 12, national honor soci- ety 11, 12, s.c.a. 12, governors school for the gifted 10, presidential classroom 11, 2nd place in district forensics 11, 2nd place in district debate 11, citizenship con- test honorable mention 12, district winner in b.y.d. contest 12, 2nd place in science fair 11, football 9, 10, wrestling 9, 10, ten- nis 10. donald lee sipple — science club 11, 12, vice-president 12, national honor society 11, debate club 9, football 9, track 9, baseball 9, northern Virginia regional all star baseball team 9. william matthew skewes — s.c.a. 9, 10, 12, f.c.a. 9, 10, national honor society 11, bi-racial council 10, class vice-president 10, reporter 12, science club 12, football trainer 10. perry graylon slaughter — f.b.l.a. 9, 10, chorus. jay scott smart — v.i.c.a. 12. M CURTIS DEAN SMITH CURTIS WILLIS SMITH II DENNIS STANLEY SMITH PATRICIA GAIL SMITH Commentary: Gibson, Be As Friendly As Possible.’’ I would suggest that all underclass- men first be as friendly as possible to administrators and fellow students. If a student treats his classmates kindly, then they will do likewise to him. Friends are very important in such a big school. Also, I think every student should partic- ipate in athletics or other extra-curricu- lar activities outside school work.

You have to go anyway, so make the most of it. Join clubs and get involved. By the time you are a senior, you’ll be glad you were involved. Friends from school are your rewards all through life. You may not believe it now, but it’s very sad to think about leaving your friends. After all, your high school years are the best years of your life.” Pam Spangler Armed with pencil and Pibb, Pam Spangler analyzes a dummy” layout in Annual Staff class. loveda ann steffey — library club 11, 12, band 9 ■ 12. gary michael stike — v.i.c.a. 11, newspaper staff 9, football 9, 10. janice renae stools — g.a.a. 9, 10, f.b.l.a. 9, d.e.c.a. 11, v.i.c.a. 12. lucinda may stump — g.a.a. 9, chorus 11, pep club 11. pamela martin surber brenda thompson Sutherland carol ann sutphin — g.a.a. 9, 10, f.h.a. 9, for- eign language club 11, national honor society 11, beauty pageant 12, band 9 - 12, flag corps 11, 12, track 9, 11. charles wayne sutphin — v.i.c.a. 11, 12. randal blaine sutphin — f.f.a. 9, v.i.c.a. 11, k.v.g. 9. roma aneeta sutphin — g.a.a. 9-11, chaplain 10, 11, f.t.a. 10, secretary 10, tri-hi-y 9, 10, president 9, district chaplain 9, s.c.a. 9 - 12, bi-racial council 12, drama club 9, 10, p.c. players 11, 12, i.c.f. 11, pep club 10, secre- tary 10, chorus 9 - 12, president 10, 12, vice- president 11, f.b.l.a. 12, senior steering com- mittee 12, all-regional chorus 10 - 12, all-vir- ginia chorus alternate 11, girls’ state 11, who’s who among music students in american high sch ools 12, fall play 11, musical 12, one-act 11, 12, fall one-act 12, best actress 1 1, annual staff 9 - 12, layout editor 12, track 9, 10, gymnastics manager 10. michael davis sutton foreign language club 12, vice-president 12, f.b.l.a. 12, ecol- ogy club 10, praise the lord club 9, 10, i.c.f. 11, drama club 10, p.c. players 11, 12, band 9-12, all-regional band alternate 12, pep band 12, chorus 12, all-regional chorus 12, annual staff 10 - 12, class editor 12, who’s who among music students in american high schools 12, fall play 11, musical 12, one-act 11,12. melissa ann swain — science club 11, 12. daniel talbert, jr. — v.i.c.a. 11, chess club 9 - 12, vice-president 11, national honor society 12, varsity track 9, 10. cynthia starr taylor sherry doreen taylor — tri-hi-y 10, pep club 10, 11, h.e.r.o.-f.h.a. 11, 12, national honor society 11, 12. timothy ray taylor theron neal tench — chess club 9-12, sci- ence club 10 - 12, f.b.l.a. 10, s.c.a. 9, 12, baseball 9-12.

All too soon, seniors found themselves with empty pockets and cherished momentos. The first finan- cial obligation came with the making of senior pictures. Sittings began in June for the new casual” posed portraits. When proofs came back, seniors placed their orders and paid a portion of the final cost. The summer pictures were returned in December while late seniors received theirs in February. These pic- tures proved to be lasting and cherished momentos for the class of ’76. In November, a representative from Josten’s arrived to take orders for calling cards and announcements. Besides these traditional items, other momentos were available for ordering. These included senior keys, memory books, picture cards, and gift sets for parents. In spring, the task of fitting the cap and gown befell our seniors. Girls’ caps, gowns and tassels were white, while boys’ were burgundy. Matt Skewes, Kay Farmer, Cathy Hankla, and Roma Sutphin, members of the announcements committee, discuss ink colors.

I Seniors Look To The Future With Hope, Fear, Uncertainty As the school year drew to a close, sen- iors looked meaningfully at one another, echoing that aching look that said What are we really going to do after gradua- tion?” After a year of taking tests, send- ing in college applications, getting jobs, and passing Government, seniors felt that the future seemed ominous and uncertain. A certain aura enclosed us when we knew that our lives were no longer regimented. We no longer had to” go to school or had to” make that passing grade. Our future depended on us and the world. Summer stretched ahead, a summer filled with preparations for college, with finding a good” job, with moving away from the security of authority, with marriage for some and other commitments for others. The road was long. There were many decisions to be made. Our seniors, the graduating class of 1976, looked to their future with pride — a sense of realistic hope and a confidence in success for US.

H Neblett, King, Holt, Glass Are Chosen To Lead Junior Class Officers, Beth Holt, Lori Glass, Gwen King, and Kathy Neblett discuss bands for their sock hop held during basketball season. In the Spring of the ’74-’75 school year, the rising junior class presented a list of nominees to the class. Ultimately, the following officers were chosen: Presi- dent — Kathy Neblett; Vice-President — Gwen King; Secretary-Treasurer — Beth Holt; Reporter — Lori Glass. This all-girl slate of officers brought excellent leadership to the 460-member class. Jun- iors started the school year with a maga- zine sale. They showed their salesman- ship by outselling the senior class. Also, the junior class sponsored two sock hops, one during football season and one dur- ing basketball season. The class officers were responsible for helping to secure the bands which played for these sock hops and for working at the concession stands. Proceeds from the sock hops were used to help finance the ’76 Prom. The magazine sales profits were the major source of Prom revenue. 184 Class Of 1977 At Pulaski County High School Leonard A.

The purpose of these sales was to raise money for activities throughout the year. Both classes worked hard, and the results were good. Seniors sold $1836 worth of magazines, and juniors $2497.36 worth. Much of this money was reserved to finance the 1976 Junior- Senior Prom, the greatest ever.

This school, in my opinion, is one of the best high schools ever built. It has many courses and privileges that most other schools couldn ' t even hope for. As a junior I have grown to like it a lot, but with one more year to go. I ' ll like it even more. The only way for oncoming stu- dents to like this school as much as I do is to keep the courses and retain all privi- leges. It is our responsibility to assure g|§ retaining these.

Commentary: I think that being a student here at Pulaski County is fantastic. We have opportunities to become involved in activities and classes that would never have been offered at Pulaski or Dublin. Despite the feelings of rivalry, I think we have gotten along really well. It was really a big change to go from double A to triple A in sports, and I don’t think anyone realized the difference it would make. Overall, I think we did pretty well, and next year we’ll do even better, espe- cially since we will be playing Radford again.

Young 200 Class Rings Arrive In December; Juniors Overjoyed In early October, juniors were faced with the most important and, for many, most enjoyable decisions thus far the problem of ordering a class ring. Star Ring Company presented eleventh grad- ers with a choice of sterling silver, yellow or white gold, and quadraplatium rings. A rainbow of stones and styles opened eyes and left our minds with some won- dering to do. Sizes were a slight problem. What could one do when a six-and-a-half was too small, but a seven was too large? Also, girls could choose between a tradi- tional-size ring or a miniature one. Extras included letterings behind the stone or an imprinted cougar if one so desired. One of the most important advantages our juniors enjoyed was the arrival of the rings by mid-December, thus sparing them the worry and antici- pation of the early spring arrival of the previous year. 201 Venable Leads Class Of 1978 This year the Sophomore class at P.C.H.S. was composed of approximately 500 students. These students elected responsible and well-qualified officers to guide them through the 1975-76 school year. These officers were President — Tim Venable; Vice-President — Ruthie Franklin; Reporter — Susan Pace; and Secretary-Treasurer — Sharon Capal- dini. The officers and other students, including the Sophomore S.C.A. repre- sentatives, planned many activities dur- ing the year. Much planning and hard work took place in all the class activities, especially during the week of homecom- ing. One of the main events that the sophomores sponsored was a spring dance. Committees were formed, and final plans were made. The dance turned out to be a great success for the Sopho- more Class sponsored by Mrs. Susan Ficke.

Sophomore Class Is Super- Spirited Homecoming was something special to the sophomore class. Many activi- ties happened during the week. With competition between classes in vari- ous activities the sophomores won two out of the three events. Winning the showcase competition over the senior class was one of the biggest thrills. The other event which the sophomore class won was the spirit chain contest. The sophomore class chain was over 100 feet long. As the week’s activities drew to an end a spirited sophomore class joined other P.C.H.S. classes for the pep rally. Even though the junior class took the spirit stick, the sopho- more class was very spirited during the entire week. Donald R. Collins David L. Congrove Myra G. Conner Phillip T. Cooke Ronald K.

Is it sitting behind the wheel of a car for the first time, or is it the trauma of having to choose a second semester English course? Actually, it’s surviving the first semester of English and writing that term paper. Teachers Suzanne Steele, Odette Gra- ham, John Newberry, Susan Ficke, Skip Maiden, Maxine Dishon, and Kathryn Sutherland instructed students in the proper form for a research paper. Term papers had to be five-to-ten pages long and written on unlined paper in ink, or typed. Three sources were required, of which only one could be an encyclope- dia. Many sophomores were also required to do biology term papers, and the practical students combined the assignments and produced term papers with titles like Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation,” or The Development of an Embryo.” iTIfi Tip BT M k Wjk Mr. John Newberry suggests a revision to Sandra Tolbert.

Hylton Eager Sophomores Fi nally Take To The Road Getting a driver’s license was one of the greatest achievements of the sopho- mores at P.C.H.S. One of the first steps was to obtain a learner’s permit. After getting their learner’s permits, they made a mad dash to the sign-up list. Students were tested for sight and reflexes in the classroom driver educa- tion class. All the driving skills were taught to the eager sophomores. Behind-the-wheel let the nervous driv- ers-to-be put their previously learned skills to work on the range. A few weeks later, after gaining confidence, the soph- omores were ready to obtain their Vir- ginia Operators’ Licenses. Driver Ed. cars converge on the driving range early in the morning. 209 James N. Hylton Joe O. James Kanawha H. Jarrells Rhonda L. Jarrells Wallace J. Jeffreys Donald E. Johnson Jennifer L.

This is a great achievement for the people of this area of the state. I hope that it will be just as good ten years from now so others can get the same readiness for the fields that this school opens to them for the future.” Larry Riffey Larry Riffey buys a Coke in the Commons Area after school. 210 Edward I..

The topics were varied, but proper form was a must. Proper form included an outline, a good knowledge of the topic and proper use of grammar and language arts. Also, poise and quality of delivery were added pluses. Presenting speeches added to self-confidence, enabling freshmen to better express their ideas. 223 Ricky L. Davis Stephen E. Davis Kathy L.

Explain.” Their responses are printed under the heading of Commentary.” Yes. Here you can choose most of the classes you want to take, and there are many to choose from. I feel much more free and independent here than at P.M.S. Also the athletic department is very well equipped and there are many more sports here to participate in. The voca- tional department can teach one a trade so that one can go straight to work after graduation, and I think that’s good. Going to school at P.M.S. was pretty good, but here at P.C.H.S. I think Pve had as much fun as I could possibly have at any school.” Mark O’Dell Freshman Mark O’DeU studies in the Commons Area after school. 224 John A. Edmonds Mary I). Edmonds Michael W.

Besides all the different types of classes there are many activities from which to choose. There are many different sports for both sexes to enjoy. There is a great staff of teachers that work all the time to make everything a success. I hope when all the people from both Middle Schools come and join us that they will feel the same.” Joy Agee 227 Commentary, Morris: f? I Like The Wide Variety Of Classes.” Yes, many more opportunities are here at P.C.H.S. than were at the Middle Schools. One of the things I like best is the wide variety of classes from which we can choose. There are also many more interesting clubs than we had last year at the Middle Schools. In sports we have more students to promote school spirit. Also the senior privilege of going to lunch five minutes early is something to look forward to. There are so many opportunities here at P.C.H.S.; this is a really great school. We really seem to be together here, unlike the Middle Schools where we all went our own ways. I couldn’t be any prouder of this school, and I really look forward to my upcom- ing years!” Priscilla M. Holmes Sandi Morris poses beside one of the showcase Christinas trees. Dennis A.

Exploring the school, discovering keys” to finding their way around, they appeared a bit shy and hesi- tant about stating their grade status. Members of the class of ’79 experienced the difficulty of adjusting from being the sen- ior” class at the Middle Schools to accepting the underclass- man title given them. Our freshmen were faced with typical problems — choosing a lockermate, learning to open lockers, and most of all, finding their ways through the maze of architecture and people to assigned classes.

Fall Varsity Cheerleading Squad Wins Gold Eagle Trophy ' all Varsity Cheerleader sponsor, Mrs. Elinor Morgan, fall J.V. spon- or, Mrs. Virginia Fizer, pose in the Social Studies Department. The Fall Varsity and J.V. Cheerleaders began to practice early in the summer in order to attend camp at Virginia Inter- mont College in Bristol during the week of July 14. The first night of competi- tion, the J.V. squad received an outstand- ing ribbon, and the Varsity received a superior. The second night of competi- tion, the J.V. squad received an excellent ribbon, and the Varsity again received a superior. The third and final night of competition, both the J.V. and Varsity received superior ribbons. However this was not the end of the awards. The Pula- ski County Fall J.V. and Varsity squads were presented with the Outstanding Cheerleading Squad Plaque. This partic- ular award was awarded to the Fall Cheerleaders, by vote of the other squads, for being the Outstanding Cheer- leaders of the camp. The awards for the Fall Varsity Cheerleaders continued when the squad was asked to compete, with the other six top squads of the camp, for the Regional Trophy. Instruc- tors at each Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp presented the Regional Trophy to the squad they felt performed with the best cheerleading techniques. The Fall Varsity Cheerleaders of Pulaski County High School received the 1975 Regional Trophy. During the week of Homecoming the Fall Varsity and J.V. Cheerleaders spon- sored a Bonfire on Tuesday night near the stadium. The Bonfire was a major event in the spirit-filled week’s activities. To continue spirit, the Fall Varsity Cheerleaders honored the Varsity Foot- ball Team with a cookout. The food was donated by several loyal organizations throughout the county. The week ended with a tremendous two-hour pep rally, which was the final step in promoting spirit for the Homecoming game. Cheering did not end with football sea- son. Both squads continued the year by cheering for the P.C.H.S. wrestlers. 242 The Fall Cheerleaders are justifiably proud of their Regional Trophy.

Vigorous spring and summer practices and the everyday a f ter-school workouts were preparation for the tough battles our men faced in a Triple A district. Linder the direction of head coach Dave Brown, and assistants Harry DeHaven, Jim Chapman, and Robbie Gardner, the Cougars entered each game bravely and fought for each touchdown made. Experience was a painful teacher, and several of the P.C.H.S. players suffered injuries during the season. The first injury occured at the August scrimmage with Blacksburg when promising half- back B. C. Clark injured his knee — an injury which required surgery, and ended the season before it began for B. C. Several minor injuries, such as C. J. Burkes’ ever-present weak ankle and some blows to the face and teeth of the other players kept Coach Brown alter- nately dreading and praying for the sea- son to end.

Senior wing- back Ricky Clark, a strong offensive player, suffered a leg fracture and was unable to finish the season. Tri-captains for the 1975 season were Donald Hagee, Ronnie Dalton, and Joe Burkes. Both defensively and offensively they led the Cougars through thick and thin, setting a fine example for future players. After a season of rebuilding, the Cougar coaches and underclassmen are looking to the future. Overall, it was safe to say that our team, the Pulaski County Cougars, gave it the best they had, and morale never went under.

The young Cougars opened their season with an enthusiastic win over the Franklin County Eagles by a score of 16-6. They then came home to a disappointment as they lost a close one to Northside 13-7. The loss also took its toll in other ways as the team lost the services of two-way star John Wright. The following week the freshmen suf- fered another upset at the hands of Cave Spring. They were extremely disap- pointed as they lost in the last minute of play by a score of 12-8. The two losses did not keep the young Cougars down as they bounced back to whip Woodlawn by a score of 24-0. On the next Thursday the team trav- eled to Dublin’s Soldier’s Field to partici- pate in a doubleheader with the young Dukes. The Cougars lost a heartbreaker to the Narrows J.V.’s. Again the young Cougars were to suffer the loss in the closing minutes — this time by a score of 13-12. The baby Cougars lost another last-minute defeat the following week as they lost to the J.V.’s from Carroll County by a score of 13-12. To make it even worse, the young Cougars found them- selves on the Carroll County one- yard line as the time ran out. The freshman team was able to end the season on a sweet note as they completely dominated the freshman team from Hills- ville Intermediate by a score of 42-0. The young Cougars were devastating as they refused to allow the Indians to cross the midfield stripe. The Cougars were led throughout the season by the hard running of Johnny Bratton and Dusty Wil- Coaches Mike Rolen and Butch White plot strategy for the next Freshman football game.

On defense the young Cougars were awesome, led by linebackers Mark O’Dell and Jimmy Smith, and nose guard Gary Horton. The opposition teams were also molested in their own backfield by defensive ends Robert Goad and Jimmy Stout. Very few passes were completed against a tough secondary consisting of Mike Shockley, Joe Hodges, Timmy Cox, and Mark Sparkplug” Anderson. The J.V.’s were coached by Coach Butch White and Mike Rolen and were assisted by Coach Don Skeen. After many a strenuous practices, they opened their season. It was soon obvious that Cave Spring would be the biggest rival. After seeing Cave Spring through one undefeated season, our Cougars weren’t about to let another go by. With a deter- mined team effort, the Cougars defeated Cave Spring as well as two other oppo- nents to end the season with a 3-4 record. All players performed well; but in the end, the best offensive player was Greg Blankenship, and the best defen- sive player was Wayne Faddis. Quarter- back Kevin Sidwell led the 32-member team to complete their impressive sea- son.

Cougar Girls Demolish Franklin County 63-44 The Girls’ Basketball Team began pre- season practice early in the school year. The first two weeks’ practice was a diffi- cult series of skill- and stamina-building drills. Thereafter, the coach made the first cut. The team began slowly. In a season of disappointing losses, the high point came when the Cougar girls demolished the Franklin County Eaglettes 63-44. Senior leadership for the Cougars came from Captain Mary Jane Safewright and from Susan Hoback. A much- improved junior, Brenda Allen, scored fifteen points in one game and contrib- uted significantly to scoring at every game. Judy Wright was an excellent defensive player, and team high-scorer, Kathy Neblett, scored twenty-five points in one game. Young Cougar Cagers who showed much promise for next year were Pam Allen, Barbara Hayes, Debbie Smith, Tina Phillips, Angie Parris, and Sue McMullin. The Cougars played close games and never gave up!

The team expe- rienced a building year in 1975-76. Many of the newer players had learned the basics of volleyball at the Middle Schools. Some were completely new to the sport and learned quite a bit. Several of the players attended Radford College’s Volleyball Camp in the summer, and three received special recognition there. Although the team worked hard, they didn’t have a winning season. Neverthe- less, if the team continues to work as dili- gently as they have been, in time they will have a winning team. The team was pleased with the support they received from the fans and hoped this support would continue to grow. Miss Susan Pratt coached the volleyball team.

Winter Cheerleaders ” Learn,” Travel This year was one full of good times, bad times, and laughs for the Winter J.V. and Varsity cheerleading squads. It started with try-outs. For several weeks all the girls worked very hard learning the cheers and stunts for the day of try- outs. Croups of five girls tried out at a time. Then, later that afternoon, the forty-eight girls were announced. After all the tears and through the mist of excitement, those girls chosen did several cheers for the judges. One of the most exciting times of the year occurred at the camp the cheerlead- ers attended in the summer. This year the Winter J.V. and Varsity squads attended the camp at Lynchburg College during the week of July 16-19. The cheerleaders had a car wash to help pay their way to camp. At the camp both squads showed very high ratings. The first night the J.V. and Varsity squad both received excellent ratings, and the second night they received superior rat- ings. On the final day both squads received another superior rating. During the three days at camp they learned eleven cheers and two pom-pom rou- tines. On the last day at the final evalua- tions, the squads with the highest scores were in the run-offs for the regional tro- phy. They received one excellent and three superiors and were also awarded the spirit stick every day they were there. Both squads, the Varsity and the J.V., were in the run-offs for the regional tro- phy. During the basketball season the girls were required to do many things. They had to practice at least once a week, and they had to arrive at all games at least forty-five minutes before starting time. The cheerleaders traveled to away games in vans. The Varsity Squad and the J.V. Squad made locker stickers, packed lunches and provided treats for the players several times during the season. They also performed at three pep rallies in which the basketball players and coaches were announced. Mrs. Dorothy Gooch, J.V. sponsor. Miss Kristie Troyer, Varsity sponsor, chat. 254 WINTER J.V.

The Cougars had a record of 4-2 as they entered the Christmas Tournament held at P.C.H.S. Perfecting the Wiley shuffle,” the team faced first opponent Wytheville, looking for revenge — and got it. The Maroons were old Croup AA foes, and the Cougars satisfied themselves with a score of 65-43. Larry Gibson was high scorer of this game with 18 points. David Alderman showed winning form, hold- ing Rick Cormany to only four points, and Randy Simpson displayed his terrific floor strategy by giving the team eight assists during the game. Adams leaped for innumerable rebounds, and Wiley and McKinney came off the bench to add their scoring and excitement to the game. McKinney and Wiley entered the game during the third quarter to replace starters who left the floor leading Wytheville 40-8. Roanoke Catholic was another foe to be avenged, for they had beaten the Cougars earlier in the season. Playing almost flawless basketball, the Gibsons had a great scoring game, Simpson made seemingly endless assists, Adams drew rebound after rebound, Alderman played great defense; and with help from Gary Wiley, Alderman held scoring ace Kevin Dill to only two points. The Cougars were named Christmas Tournament Champs.

I The Cougar Basketball Team entered its second season with a com- petitive streak of fighting that was not to be matched. Supported by hun- dreds of loyal fans, the Cougars worked to provide the most exciting season ever. The starting line-up for the Cougars boasted an all-senior, all- letterman crew. Not to be ignored on the bench were other lettermen who served as valuable substitutes throughout the season. In the grueling struggles of practice the Cougars began work on the most strategic game moves they possessed, the Wiley shuffle. Coach Allen Wiley, branded the winningest coach in the state,” provided the valuable leadership necessary to develop a suc- cessful team. Since the Cougars were new to and a little unsteady in the tough Western District, his job was doubly difficult. The team worked specifically on ball-handling, defense, and all-out hustle, citing Coach Wiley’s preference for these things to be carried out to utmost perfection. One of the Cougars’ major prob- lems concerned their height — or the lack of it. Of the starting five, none stood over six feet tall. These five included Larry and Gary Gibson, Randy Simpson, Eddie Adams, and David Alderman. The two senior forwards, the Gibson twins, shouldered the scoring load, competing for the place of team high scorer. They proved to be all-round exceptional players throughout the remainder of the season. Randy Simpson served as quarter- back for the squad and had the most experience of the five. He led the team in assists and played well in the point guard position. Center for the Cougars was Eddie Adams, who stood only six feet tall. He was designated best leaper,” car- ried the rebounding load and pre- sented intimidation in the lane. David Alderman served as guard for the squad. He played terrific one-on- one defense and was consequently named best defensive player. He also took up the scoring slack when needed at his position. Elusive Gary Gibson slides past Don Henderson to score two against Patrick Henry. ft 257 Other outstanding Cougars were those that subbed from the bench. Gary Wiley, Roger McKinney, Tim Venable, Jamie Sypniewski, and Kenny Meadows proved invaluable in this respect. Members Isiah McClanahan and Greg Nicks gained valu- able experience to make them useful in building next year’s team. Both Gary Wiley and Roger McKinney started on occasion, exhibiting the fine form some- times lacking in substitute players; while Tim Venable developed progressively through the season, coming out as a valu- able substitute. The Cougars played admirably throughout the season, qualifying them to compete in the district tournaments. Although they were unsuccessful in win- ning there, they played competitively and posed a serious threat to Cave Spring. Larry r ? as the Cougars stall against Patrick Henry.

( NOT PICTURED) Mike Coalson. The Cougar J.V. Basketball Team started the season with a bang by win- ning their first three games by wide mar- gins. But the Cougars ran into a scoring problem and were downed by William Fleming 52-35. This led to a three-game losing skid. The Cougars got back on the winning track by downing Roanoke Catholic. Against Catholic, six-eight sophomore Craig Lester scored twenty points, the highest score attained by a member of the Cougar J.V. in one game. The Cougars played a stalling game against a Northside zone. It turned out badly for the Cougars as they lost 19-17. Northside turned out to be one of the strongest Cougar rivals. Pulaski County lost a close one to Halifax at home by the score of 30-27. This started another Cougar losing streak of five games. In the fifth game, the Cougars almost pulled it out. They came from eleven points down in the fourth quarter to finally lose by only three points. The Cougars ended their losing streak by defeating Cave Spring at home. In this game three Cougars hit double figures, led by Lester with 16. Mike Coalson scored 12 and Chuck Pound 10. The team got fired up for Patrick Henry. In the first meeting, P.H. had defeated Pulaski County by 20 points. In the second confrontation, the Cougars started slow, but gained momentum until they ultimately defeated Patrick Henry 51-34. The starting five for the Cougars were Craig Lester, Mike Coalson, Robert Smith, Chuck Pound, and Eddie Morri- son. Sherman Phillips, Chris Price, Ricky Showalter and Tom Haller came off the bench to spark the team. 261 ( FRONT ROW) Bobby Lorton, Danny Cronk, Dale Hall, Reggie Slaughter, Mark Carlile, Darren Granger.

Wrestling was an extremely indi- vidualized sport in which the battle was on a one-to-one basis. While other sports involved team strategy, wrestling required the individual to rely upon the instruction of his coaches and, mainly, on himself. Wrestling was totally individual. Several team members often won their matches, with a team loss occurring in the meet. There were also many outside factors that influenced the performance of a matman. All but one of the wrestlers had to maintain a set weight. This was achieved through starvation, sitting in 112-114 degree water, and running until exhaustion set in. This ordeal often left the wrestler weak and unsteady for the match. Wrestling also involved extreme mind and body control. There were only six minutes ( three two-minute periods) in which one outscored or pinned his opponent. The team’s high scorer for the ’75-’76 season was Mark Carlile. Tom Lineberry and Bobby Underwood were second and third, respectively. ( ABOVE) Mark Carlile goes for a pin in competition in the District Meet. ( BELOW) Dennis Smith, Mark Carlile, Darren Granger.

Many began the struggle to reach a desired weight class and maintain that weight. This was a harder goal than it seemed. Daily work- outs included running around the gym and against the wall, sit-ups, push-ups, and pride” drills. A pride drill meant that everyone on the team had to choose an exercise and do the exercise until he felt that he could do it no more. There was much pride involved in deciding whether to be the first of twelve wrestlers to give up and leave the gym. The Cougars’ first match was Novem- ber 14, a scrimmage at Science Hill in Tennessee. There the team got a taste of what the rest of the season would be like. The first district match was Cave Spring which was also the scene of the first Cou- gar loss.

Battle For District Second Place The Pulaski County Cougar Gymnas- tics team opened its season on January 14 with one of their hardest meets of the season — against the talented team from Cave Spring High School. The girls, coached by Miss Susan Pratt and Mrs. Louisa Chrisley, were really put to the test by the top team in the district. The Cougars plugged onward, but they found the Knights a tough team to beat. Several Cougars placed, however. In the all- around competition, senior co-captain Kathy Dunavant received second place, and sophomore Jenny Boult received third place. On the uneven parallel bars the other senior co-captain, Cindy Dob- son, received fourth place, Jenny Boult received fifth place; and Jeannine Lemon received sixth place. In vaulting Kathy Dunavant received second place, and Jenny Boult and Candy Painter tied for fifth place. On the balance beam Candy Painter received fourth, Jenny Boult fifth, and Kathy Dunavant sixth. In floor exercise Kathy Dunavant received third, Jenny Boult fifth and Candy Painter sixth place. Placing in these areas set the Cougar girls well on the road to second place in the Cave Spring-dominated dis- trict. I ( FRONT ROW) Sandi Rasnake, Dana Tilley, Jewell Price.

The next meet was with E. C. Glass of Lynchburg and involved a real bat- tle for second place in the district. It was also the last home meet for the Cougars. Places were as follows: Beam: Candy Painter, first; Kathy Dunavant, second; and Marion Ander- son, fourth. Vault: Jenny Boult, sec- ond; Kathy Dunavant, third; and Candy Painter, fifth. Floor exercise: Kathy Dunavant, first; Jenny Boult, second; and Marion Anderson, fifth. Bars: Jenny Boult, third; and Jean- nine Lemon, fifth. The Cougar Gymnastics Team worked very hard. They proudly posted a winning season in 1975-76. Jeannine Lemon eyes the cameraman as she performs a bars routine. Marian Anderson strikes a graceful pose on the beam.

Members of the Cross Country Team, Keith Dickerson, Steve Smith, Bob Abbott, Sam Moore, David Clark, Dirk Akers, Ricky Boyd, and ( sometimes) Tim Long practiced every day at 6:00 a.m. and after school, preparing for the Western District competition. Richard Cook, Cliff Fitzgerald, Eddie Sayers, Terry Tolbert and Brent Jarrells — the J.V. team, joined the varsity team after school each day for another six-mile run. The hard work paid off, for with only one letterman ( Keith Dickerson) return- ing from last year’s single-victory team, the track team won twelve times, defeat- ing William Fleming, ( four times), Northside ( twice). Auburn, J. D. Bassett, Patrick County, Staunton River, Blacksburg and Halifax County. The J.V. Team posted a 3-1 record. They lost to Auburn; then they defeated Carroll County 22-36, Auburn 22-72, and North Cross 22-81 ( low score wins) in the Auburn Invitational J.V. Meet, where they won the first place trophy. In the same Auburn Invitational Meet the J.V.’s won, the Varsity Team brought home the runner-up trophy with three of its top five runners injured. Keith Dick- erson placed first, Tim Long, second, and others placing were David Clark, Ricky Boyd, and Dirk Akers.

In the Western District Championship cross country meet, the Cougars finished fourth. They defeated Halifax, Northside and William Fleming. All Cougar runners worked hard in 1975-76. Keith Dickerson did especially well. Keith won sixth place in the V.P.I. Invitational cross country meet, second against Andrew Lewis, second against Radford, first in the Auburn Invitational, and first against all other pre-district competitors. He was second in the district which qualified him for regional competi- tion. There he was fourth, defeating all other Western District runners. This fine performance qualified him for State Competition. There in Williamsburg, Keith placed twenty-seventh, defeating a total of 239 runners. Keith established himself as the best cross country runner ever from Pulaski County, and as the second best ever to come from this part of the state. The rugged indoor track team consisted of a few hard- working individuals who practiced daily, regardless of the weather. They often practiced in ten degree weather and in snow or rain. The distance men practiced twice daily, at six a.m. and after school. Other team members ran each day after school. The team traveled to Lynchburg and Lexington for their meets. In district competition they placed third overall, a big accomplishment in the tough Western Dis- trict. In the Northwest Regional Meet, they were ninth; and they placed in the top twenty teams in the Indoor State Track Meet. Tri-captains Steve Smith, Chuck Webb, and Keith Dickerson were the team’s scoring leaders all season. All of the team members worked hard and deserved much credit for their successful season. Chuck Webb, who ran one of the top ten 600-yard run times in the country, was named to the All-State Team. 271 Chuck W ebb Excels In 440- Yard Dash At P.C. The Outdoor Track Team was com- posed of several talented individuals. Most outstanding were the three senior tri-captains, Steve Smith, Keith Dicker- son, and Chuck Webb. These three indi- viduals participated in track a total of 24 seasons during their high school careers. All were leaders and through their hard work and outstanding performances were excellent examples to other team members. All were also the best in their events in the history of Pulaski County. Keith Dickerson was by far the best distance runner in county history. He held the two-mile record with a time of 9:49. ( His fastest county competitor posted a time of 10:33). Dickerson also held the county mile record with a time of 4:33. Steve Smith held the county and school record in the 880 with a time of 1:59. He was also the best high jumper in county history with a leap of 6 ' 4V2 . Chuck Webb was also the county’s best ever in his specialty — the 440 yard dash. Chuck’s record time was 48.7.

The 1976 Cougar Baseball Team began workouts in the early part of Feb- ruary. As the Cougars practiced, they found themselves low in experience after losing many members to graduation last year. Despite the lack of experience, there were some bright spots in the Cou- gar spring training camp with the arrival of senior catcher Mike Mooney and sec- ond baseman Timmy Viers. The young Cougars were also to gain the services of the dynamic duo of Gibson and Gibson — - Larry and Gary. The Cougar baseball team was also much encouraged by the acquisition of a Jugs Pitching Machine. The machine was purchased through the hard work of Cougar coaches Wally Flinchum and Harry DeHaven and through the gener- osity of Hudson Chevrolet and Joe Hale. The Cougar nine opened their season against Patrick Henry Thursday, March 18. As they began their season, they were anticipating a lot of mileage from more than their share of youth and inexperi- ence. Some of the more experienced players were Mooney, Terry Jones, Bobby Osborne and Ron Patterson. The Cougars were also anticipating some much-needed help from several additions from last year’s J.V. team. The people who were counted on from that team were Vance Lane, Wayne Biggs and Tom Holcomb.

Baseball Team began practice on Febru- ary 15 with much determination and hopes of a successful season. Despite their hopes and determination, however, the young Cougars were lacking in any real experience. The young Cougars were able to start eight sophomores and one freshman with only pitchers Wayne King and Kevin Sid- well and outfielder Danny Quesenberry with any real game experience. The ’76 edition of the Cougars was led by captains Wayne King and Jimmy Lane, along with second baseman Bobby Lorton. Other young Cougars included Dale Stephens, Charles Creggar and Alan Burnett, who made their contributions to Cougar Baseball fortunes.

Only one team member was lost to graduation after last year’s rebuilding season. A great deal of experience and confidence was gained last season, and this paid off for the 1976 team which was coached by Mr. Butch White. The Cougars held their home matches at Thorn Spring Golf Club. Heavily relied upon by the Cougar golfers were returning juniors Richard ,f I ard” Spraker and Mike Boadwine, and senior Rocky Lunsford. There were also many young players. Freshmen Brian Stovall and Tom Haller helped out in 1976 and provided the basis for a good future for the Cougar golf team.

John Baker, John Haughney, Rick O’Dell, and Tim Williams returned, and newcomers Charles Maxwell, Jeff McConnell and Randy Gunn joined to help the Cougars attain a successful record in the tough Western District and against New River District competition. Coach Freeman’s team went through another rebuilding year in 1976. Many young members made the team including freshittan Mark O’Dell who saw consider- able action this season. If there were any lack of playing experience on the Cougar team, ability more than compensated. The tennis teams have always been very competitive, and this year was no differ- ent.

The P.C.H.S. girls’ dynamic abilities astounded their oppo- nents. Adding an extra air of experience were nine girls returning to the Cougar team from last year. They were Frances Burcham, Cheryl Corbin, Kay Farmer, Trisha Garrison, Allison Haller, Susan Hobaek, Christi Hyde, Kathy Neblett, and Kellie Owens. New members who added depth to the team were Lisa Akers, Debbie Boitnott, Van Covey, Tina Phil- lips, Sue Spivey, Janet Webb and Jenny Boult. Together with their dedicated coaches, they made a fantastic combination, beat- ing teams, and giving everyone they played a good match. Besides playing on the Western District schedule, the Coug- arettes scrimmaged some New River Dis- trict teams as well as teams from Virginia Tech and Radford College.

Upon completion of the track facilities, the girls were able to host meets. They were hosts to four of their six meets. The girls had taken the Dis- trict Title during the ’75 season, and had lost almost no members to graduation. Cave Spring appeared to be their strong- est rival. Halifax was also a strong Dis- trict contender. Coaches for the Cougar track girls were Mrs. Louisa Chrisley and Mrs. Deb- bie Akers. Anticipating a successful series of meets, these coaches relied heavily on returning team members. S en- ior Elaine Legette began another season doing eighty-yard hurdles and the long jump. Sophomore Debbie Smith and jun- ior Troy Setzler were hopefuls in the mile, and junior Brenda Allen returned to throw the discus. Coach Chrisley revealed that the throwing events were the team’s weakest areas, but she main- tained her belief that the thirty-three girls who made up her team would have another winning season.

In September teachers in twelve states were on strike. At the peak of the strike, nearly two mil- lion students were affected. Israel and Egypt signed interim peace pact in Geneva, and Lynette Squeaky” Fromme attempted to assassinate Presi- dent Gerald Ford. Later in the month. Congress overrode Ford’s veto of the $7.9 billion aid to education bill. On September 18, Patricia Hearst was arrested ending more than a year of police and F.B.I. searching. In October, a Russian unmanned space-craft landed on Venus and returned the first on-site pictures of that planet. Vice-President Nelson Rockefel- ler announced November 3 that he would not run with Ford in ’76. In December, the Postal Service, hav- ing floundered financially for several years announced intentions to increase postal rates, raising the cost of mailing a first class letter from ten to thirteen cents. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, after an extended illness, retired from the Supreme Court, and South Carolina Senator Strom Thur- mond, 72, fathered his fourth child. China loomed massively on the inter- national front as both President Ford and former President Nixon visited the People’s Republic. 1976 was designated the International Woman’s Year, and Sarah Jane Moore was the second woman to attempt to assassinate President Ford. On the state level, Governor Godwin announced a five percent cut-back in state aid to education forcing local sys- tems to tighten their belts. Kepone con- tamination in Hopewell became a cause of much concern as many individuals were hospitalized with symptoms of poi- soning. The New River was declared a part of the nation’s scenic river system, ending years of controversy concerning dam- ming a section of the river in North Caro- lina. For the first time in history, three Virginia teams were named to the NCAA basketball tournament, and P.C.H.S. agriculture students began planting an arboretum featuring a tree from every state in the union. Cindy Bedsaul and Mrs. Brenda Baker examine new hair styling techniques. Griffiths Welcome Shannon Taylor The Economy was much in the news in 1975-76 as U.S. finances sank to their lowest ebb since the Depression. Tax Reforms and spending received much attention, and Americans cut buying lev- els drastically. 1976, however, saw auto- mobile purchases rise considerably over 1975 figures. In the entertainment industry, it was a big year for catastrophe movies. Earth- quake,” The Towering Inferno,” Air- port ’75,” satisfied theater-goer’s appe- tites for danger, tragedy and disaster. The mania for death and danger also produced Jaws,” a movie dealing with a summer resort beach town beset with troubles caused by a great shark entering coastal waters. John Denver continued a popular singer as did Olivia Newton-John, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, and groups Aeros- mith. Black Oak Arkansas and The Mar- shall Tucker Band. At P.C.H.S., Zondra Barnes repre- sented US at State Forensics competi- tion, the One-Act Play Festival judge sent Pulaski County Players to regional, and five P.C. students were named to the All- Virginia Chorus. Teresa Smith won Stu- dent of the Year” award at the Regional level in V.I.C.A., Alton Hash won the V.I.C.A. spelling Regional contest, and Mrs. Debbie Griffith gave birth to her first child. Shannon Taylor. The F.B.L.A. -sponsored Walk-a-thon netted over $15,000 for the March of Dimes, Chuck Webb was named to the All-State Track Team, and twins Larry and Gary Gibson received honorable mention in the All-Regional basketball team line-up. Perry Gregory was Most Comical” in the Boys’ Beauty Pageant, and Roma Sutphin soloed in the All- Regional concert. All-in-all, 1976 saw a slight easing of the tensions produced by threat of war, gas rationing, and political corruption. In the first half of the Bicentennial year, politicians began campaigning in earnest for the Presidential election in Novem- ber. George Wallace and Jimmy Carter were leading Democratic contenders dur- ing the primaries. Ford and Ronald Reagan led the Republican contenders. Students rest during a break at the Homecoming Dance held in October. Terri Moore, Pam Marshall and Dee Dickinson lounge near the entrance to the I.M.C. Ronnie Songer places books in his locker prior to leaving school. 310 Wanda Sawyers presents competition to Mary’s lamb. After twelve years of confinement, Mud” Sutton perfects his escape proce- dure. 311 Acknowledgements Through our second year ai Pulaski County High School, we worked on presenting the life of our school in the pages of volume two of Cougar Pinnacle. The task was pleasant, frustrating, fulfilling, maddening, enriching and tiring — like life. The one irritant we never seemed to surmount was lack of time. Countless times, we produced ideas that seemed spectacular, then discovered that they required too much time for implementation. After particularly long hours of encountering difficulties, we were sometimes less than civil to those with whom we lived and worked. We were always aware, however, of their concern and support. Therefore, we wish to thank those who endured us during the production work that preceded publication of this yearbook. We thank our families, fellow-students and fellow-teachers who made life bearable by understanding that we were sometimes less than sane. We thank Mr. Dewey Wilson, Mrs. Majella Myers and the rest of the administration for their advice and support. We thank Ms. Suzanne Steele for proofing the pages of Cougar Pinnacle and Mrs. Peggy Hubble for filling in on several occa- sions. Mrs. Katherine Brockman’s Steno classes typed copy and the index, and we thank her and them. As we began to compile this page, we realized that it was impossible to acknowledge all the help, support and kindness we received from members of the Pulaski County High School family; therefore, we thank all those members of the faculty, stu- dent body, and staff who made our task easier, who contributed to the production of this book, and who performed various duties enabling us to concentrate on work for the yearbook. We thank Garfield and Tess Ramsey of Ramsey Studio for the photography work and for a thousand contributions to the publication of this book. We also thank student teachers Mrs. Mona Hall and Ms. Mary Miller for proofreading and other help. We thank Mrs. Charles Campbell for sending ’’munchies” and for providing our dinner during the final deadline. We thank Mr. Charles Atkins and Mr. Charles Davis for providing us with pictures we used in this publication. Finally, we thank Steve Morris and Vickie Trail, non-staff members who typed, drew layouts and helped in other ways. The cover and endsheets for Cougar Pinnacle ’76 were designed by Roma Sutphin. The Title Page was designed by Susan Campbell.
