Dublin High School and Pula- ski High School had become hazier in the minds of students, and P.C.H.S. was gradually developing the atmosphere of a “real school.” Windowless class- rooms seemed less cavernous, carpeted rooms became commonplace, and “Ori- oles” and “Dukes” had virtually disap- peared into the ranks of the mighty Cougars. More importantly, fewer students complained of being “lost,” as P.C.H.S. traditions slowly emerged from the pat- terns of the past. Academics and athlet- ics, clubs and classes, publications and productions — all reflected this new awareness. Students and staff members sensed the change, and the threads of our lives fell into a new order in the tape stry of life.

Precedents Add Security to Patterns Though the design emerged, the weaving was difficult, and at times our efforts were too obviously inept. Classes changed, striking the follies of the past. On occasion, however, mad- deningly, our “improvements” boomer- anged, leaving us to struggle, Sisyphus- like, in a whirlpool of doubt bordering on despair. If failure left our minds boggled — our knots on the wrong side of the tap- estry — success exhilarated us. At least some of our decisions followed preced- ents, and the security of routines led us to dare greater challenges. Many departments added new courses; others employed new texts and materials. Stu- dents, in classrooms or in competitions, worked with greater determination and confidence. The pattern was clearer, the colors brighter in ’76-’77.

(LEFT) Jeff Miller and Robbie Lindamood dissect a frog in Biology 10. 5 Athletics: Victories for Burgundy Gold Athletics added a new dimension to our tapestry — we won! Cougars took to field or court or mat inspired by pat- terns clearer than previous ones. In ath- letic competitions, strategies grew from meaningless lines into clear realities. It was not the perfect year in athlet- ics, but improvement marked every phase of athletic endeavor. District championships were sometimes reali- ties. On several occasions they were near realities. Regardless of the success or failure of our athletes, an obvious attitudinal difference emerged. Athletes filled the tapestry with burgundy and gold — horizontal lines, vertical lines, a plaid; and we were on our way to the top.

In addition to watering plants, she is a cashier. Individual Input Is Final Dimension The lines strengthened through classes and clubs and teams, and branched to encompass every student at P.C.H.S. Some were, unfortunately, discordant, raveling our tapestry or causing ripples in its surface. The majority, however, bent to their tasks, adding subtler hues, more intricate pat- terns. To the routines of studies, organiza- tions, and contests, they added work and play, personality and productivity, triumph and tragedy. They also stretched our tapestry into the commu- nity, the state, the nation, and the world. They established reciprocal rela- tionships with homes, jobs, churches, — with the “outside world” — and wove the final dimension into the tap- estry that was Pulaski County High School.

Mr. Carl Lindstrom supervises activities at the William Fleming-Cougar bas- ketball game. Administration Mr. Dewey Wilson continued to serve as principal of Pulaski County High School in 1976-77. He was responsible for making decisions about virtually every aspect of the school. Much of his time was spent in conferences with stu- dents, teachers, assistant principals, other staff members, parents, or visi- tors. He also kept the master calendar, wherein simply avoiding scheduling conflicts was often a major difficulty. Mr. Robert Riley served as vice prin- cipal in charge of the vocational build- ing. He directed the activities of the teachers and students in that building. He also worked to keep the building and the surrounding campus spotless. Mr. Elmer Huff, in addition to duties as vice principal of the Senior Class, was responsible for the P.C.H.S. instructional program. It was upon his shoulders that most problems with regard to the self-study and evaluation fell. Athletic director and Junior Class vice principal Mr. Carl Lindstrom faced the seemingly impossible task of sched- uling the myriad athletic contests at P.C.H.S. He also attended most of these contests. Appearing at every dance, sock hop, and activity at P.C.H.S., Mrs. Majella Myers fulfilled her duties as director of student activities. She also served as vice principal of the Sophomore Class and served as attendance chief in charge of the registers. Mr. Ray Dunavant’s double duties included the vice principalship of the Freshman Class and responsibility for building and grounds at the P.C.H.S. campus. Parking lots posed special problems for Mr. Dunavant who assigned parking spaces and issued parking permits to faculty and students.

(TOP RIGHT) Mrs. Shirley Umberger smiles in the midst of preparing the absentee sheet. Clerical personnel kept the P.C.H.S. family operating smoothly. Mrs. Bar- bara Crockett, bookkeeper, handled all moneys for P.C.H.S. She also sent bills and payments, handled the financial aspects of cap and gown and letter jacket orders, and sold tickets at the basketball games. Switchboard opera- tor Mrs. Bonnie Ward handled all incoming and outgoing telephone calls. She also served as an information source for the faculty. Mrs. Shirley Umberger, secretary, dealt with tardy and or absent students. She typed the daily absentee sheet and was responsi- ble for signing in or out students who attended school for less than a full day. Miss Helen Cecil, vocational school secretary, operated her office with her usual efficiency. She not only chan- neled communications in the voca- tional building but also managed the bills and payments for services and equipment for the trade and industrial classes. English department secretary Mrs. Phyllis Cram moved to the administra- tion after Mrs. Patty Williams resigned in November. Mrs. Cram typed the offi- cial correspondence the administra- tors and numerous materials to be duplicated and dispensed to the stu- dents and or the faculty. In addition to innumerable clerical duties, Mrs. Cram efficiently cared for students who came to the clinic with minor injuries or ill- nesses. Mr. Milton Aust responded to innu- merable “beep-beep-beep” signals from the office each day and attempted to keep the building at an even sixty-eight degrees. Miss Jeannie White held forth in a room overflowing with study hall students while Mr. Danny Wolfe kept in-school suspension. 15 S.C.A. Sponsors Christmas Basket Drive The Student Cooperative Association of Pulaski County High School repre- sented the entire student body and served as the intercessor between stu- dents and faculty. Representatives from each homeroom, the presidents of clubs and classes, and the officers that were selected by the student body made up the membership of the S.C.A. The association sponsored various activities throughout the year. Dances were a major activity of the S.C.A. The Homecoming Dance on October 9, 1976, and the Winter Formal on February 12, 1977, drew many students. Both of these dances featured well-known bands. Another activity earlier in the year was the Beauty Pageant held on September 18, 1976. The pageant, with 137 contest- ants, was the most successful event that tne S.C.A. sponsored this year. Christ- mas food baskets for the Christmas food drive were financed through stu- dent contributions collected by the S.C.A. This project proved to be one of the most rewarding activities. Ruthie Franklin, Rhonda Ramsey and Goober Johnson were assigned to Mr. John Newberry, the S.C.A. sponsor, first period for an S.C.A. class.” They performed many clerical duties fulfill- ing S.C.A. directives.

Mrs. Marian Lockard, Mrs. Ruth Howe, Mrs. Jean Blankenship, Mrs. Faye Hanks, Mr. Tom Owen, and Mr. Dale Conrad are guidance counselors. In her office Mrs. Ruth Howe counsels with Arlene White. 18 Is Service-Oriented bne of them. The Guidance Department at Pula- ski County High School was a serv- ice-oriented, integral part of the whole faculty. It was designed to serve as a support system for a good instructional program by helping students gain better insight into their strengths and weaknesses and reach realistic short-range and long-range goals. The department was divided into specific grade levels for the pur- pose of organization, for administer- ing tests, for providing pertinent information to students and faculty, and for keeping records. While there was a counselor with specific duties at each grade level, as well as a job placement counselor and a director of guidance, the department also worked as a whole helping students with problems of an immediate nature. Counselors worked with in- school and outside agencies that offered sources of consultation and referral. Guidance for the ninth and tenth graders was oriented primarily toward the exploratory years, while at the eleventh and twelfth grade lev- els it was directed toward helping students make choices. The purpose was to aid students in growing from dependence into independence. The philosophy of guidance at P.C.H.S. was directed toward helping stu- dents mature into productive adults. The rhino ' s philosophy is not that of the guid- ance department! MRS. JEAN BLANKENSHIP Radford College, V.P.I. and S.U., University of Virginia, University of Louisville; B.S..

The National Honor Societies of Pulaski County High School were com- prised of those students in the eleventh and twelfth grades who maintained a “B” (or better) average. Because so many students were named to the Honor Society, the group was divided into senior and junior sections. The senior section of the National Honor Society met three times before Christmas. Meetings consisted of guest speakers or of discussions concerning college. Students asked questions con- cerning admission requirements, mail- ing deadlines, and tuition and other costs. In February, members of both sec- tions met to discuss the tea. To honor those students who made the honor roll for the semester, the Honor Society planned and held a tea in April. Mem- bers of the faculty at P.C.H.S. were also invited to the tea. Senior members of the Honor Society received a final distinction at gradua- tion. They wore gold tassels on their mortarboards.

Mrs. Audrey Burnett moved from humani- ties coordinator to become chairperson of the department, replacing Mrs. Ann Armbrister. New faces included Mrs. Jane Hobeika and Mr. Patrick Irving, both of whom taught ninth grade intro- ductory language arts courses. New courses added to the English Department mini-course curriculum were Basic Communications and Liter- ature of the Modern World. These courses were prepared to include more recent, pertinent information to English students. English teachers Mr. John Swope, Mr. Patrick Irving, and Mr. Skip Maiden produced and directed three one-act plays. These were “The Thirteenth Hour,” “Mountain Folklore,” and “The Brick and the Rose,” respectively. Severe winter weather thwarted the efforts of students competing in Foren- sics.

The “fine” winter weather and the absence from school it entailed forced cancellatiorTof P.C.H.S. participation in the District Forensics Meet. This proved quite a disappointment to many inter- ested forensics enthusiasts who had eagerly anticipated the challenge. The Debate Team did participate in a number of meets including district competition. One of the major events sponsored by the Forensics and Debate Club was a readers’ theatre production “The Thirteenth Hour.” The Forensics and Debate Club looked forward to get- ting “back into the swing of things” in 1977-78. Tal Stanley, Robin McCormick, Michael McCormick, and Carolyn McMullin await their turn in a mock debate in the sub-I.M.C. of the English pod. 25 Robin McCormick and Scott Kilgore approve a selection for Troy Setzler painstakingly letters a cover design for the literary magazine.

The staff of Inklings 77 found the task of putting together a good publica- tion hard work. This work began in October when members Jayne Gloster and Sandi Landis attended a workshop in Charlottesville and returned to begin the P.C.H.S. literary magazine. Under the leadership of Ms. Barbara Goldfield, the staff solicited contrib- utions from the student body. As these were received, they were read and criti- cized by the staff. Those chosen were retyped and filed. The staff spent many long hours doing layouts and proof- reading copy. Finally, the finished product went to press. The printing was done by Mr. Atkins and his World of Communications class. Inklings 77 was truly a creation of P.C.H.S.

Staff members and advertising class ads gave finances a boost. Newspaper partially sponsored Robin McCormick at a newspaper edi- tors ' workshop at Virginia Common- wealth University. She returned full of new ideas and enthusiasm. Mrs. Elaine Jackson had the task of keeping the work moving smoothly. “1 will not panic” was her motto as she clutched the nearest coke bottle. Nerves snapped as frequently as our blue pen- cils when deadlines approached. Co- editors Dirk Akers and Robin McCormick split editorial duties; Robin assigned stories and did most of the lay- outs while Dirk met with the staff daily to help iron out difficulties and arrange printing details with Edmonds Printing, Inc. Sports Editor and, in fact, one-man sports staff, was David Odell who somehow managed to cover almost every athletic event involving the Cou- gars. Adding a new feature to the paper, Art Editor Troy Setzler established a caricature column. Students were invited to guess student and staff mem- bers caricatured. Scott Kilgore kept readers informed about events in the Science Department, and Marcia Archer handled all club news. Beau Farmer, with the help of his camera, captured school news pictorially. Financial matters were handled by Lynn Rupe. The body” of the paper, its diverse news and feature articles, was provided by various editors, reporters, and journalism students. Nine issues were published, includ- ing two special issues. The Christmas issue contained personal holiday greet- ings, and the senior edition included senior superlatives, baby pictures, and wills. Co-editors Dirk Akers and Robin McCormick plan items to appear in the February issue of Cougar Din. (FRONT ROW) Beau Farmer, Vickie Sarver. Debbie Simpkins. Kathy Dotson.

I; jl i g 29 Cougar Pinnacle Publication Begins Smoothly Then Runs Into Difficulty In its earliest stages, publication of the 1977 Cougar Pinnacle was a routine procedure. Summer ad sales were suc- cessful if not spectacular, staff mem- bers attended the V.H.S.L. Publications Workshop, and the fifth period annual staff “class” prepared files, identified underclassmen mug shots, chose and prepared the first deadline, verified ad contracts, and dispensed with other basics. The usual deadline pressure, staff grumbling, and indecision were present, but early proofs were promis- ing, and the staff was optimistic. The first real obstacle rose from the midst of the senior portraits. Before that problem was resolved, calamity, dressed in ice and snow, arrived. Pula- ski County schools closed almost every day in January. Missing pictures and snow-bound staff members prevented any significant work. The most exciting portion of the yearbook was the sixteen-page color section. Filled with a collage of color pictures, the color section featured aspects of practically every phase of life at P.C.H.S. Huge shots of the beauty pageant and the one-act plays domi- nated the spread. The staff also attempted to feature in color a typical day at Pulaski County High School. It was their first attempt to spotlight “the ordinary.” Goober” Johnson concentrates upon the band layouts. Parris Anderson gets a quick course in layout procedure from yearbook sponsor Miss Patsy King. 30 Parris Anderson, recruited staff member, works on the layout for the V.I.C.A. club section. Suzie Luttrell draws the layout for the National Honor Society pages. Elizabeth Cox writes the copy for Judy Compton ' s candid. Sue Thomas alphabetizes the underclassman mug shots. Mr. John Newberry, literary advisor, and Dana Tilley compare copy and layouts for the senior por- trait section. 31 Staff Sponsors and Volunteers Meet While P.C.H.S. was closed due to snow and cold, two major deadlines slid past. The staff returned to school facing not only the usual make-up miasma accompanying the end of the first semester, but also 200 pages of blank yearbook layouts. The first week back was devoted to classwork, grade cards, and record keeping. The second week, staff mem- bers mobilized. Miss Patsy King and Mr. Garfield Ramsey finished the nec- essary photos; Mr. John Newberry and many staff and non-staff persons attacked the copy problem. Soon dummy layouts appeared, and the staff alphabetized, sorted, typed, stamped, cropped, coded, and identified. By Saturday, February 19, 1977, efforts were frenzied; work on the year- book involved at least eighteen hours per day for the next nine days. Some- time during the week, despair turned to determination — and though determi- nation turned to exhaustion, 200 pages of layouts were en route to Dallas by Tuesday, March 1, 1977. With the pressure temporarily off, staff members collapsed for a week. Air too soon, however, the final deadline approached. Spring sports, the closing section and the index completed the 1977 Cougar Pinnacle. Joette Newman counts lines of senior directory copy — one of many chores she performed.

Students there learned camera techniques and staging, lighting, and editing skills. Humanities students examined the total man through history, political science, English, and arts courses. Several field trips added significantly to the humanities program. Students attended the musical Shenandoah in December and the play Sherlock Holmes in April. The field trip senior students took to Washington, D.C., was the highlight of the year. They visited the Smithsonian and other places of interest. The independent study program became an elective for humanities stu- dents. Though fewer students partici- pated, those who did participate worked even harder. Independent study students had to complete 180 hours of study and make a presentation in the spring. Humanities Department MRS. BARBARA GOLDFIELD C. W.

Such factors as interest, motivation, and the discrimi- nating use of aptitude tests were employed to encourage students to elect foreign languages. Opportunity was provided for a four- year sequence in German, Spanish, and French. More than the usual four-year sequence of language study was pro- vided for those who began their study in the eighth grade. First year German, Spanish, and French students began the year with a study of elementary conversation and such vocabulary as days of the week, months, weather, time, names of family members, names of classroom objects and numbers. As the year progressed, they learned basic grammar and added to their vocabulary through a study of everyday life including scenes, basic dialogue, and culture readings. The first year Spanish students completed pro- jects in Spanish such as calendars, fam- ily trees, and posters illustrating con- versation. Second, third, and fourth year stu- dents continued with more challenging advanced grammar and progressively more difficult conversational scenes and cultural readings. The second year German students had the opportunity to take the National German Test given annually by the American Association of Teachers of German. Throughout the year, students sang and played a variety of games which reinforced the basic material. At Christ- mas time the customs of each country were discussed in detail. Some of the traditional food of this season was pre- pared and enjoyed by students and teachers. Debbie Painter. Jimmy Smith. Beth Brillhart. Chris Walker, Ken K imbrough, and others study Spanish. Michelle Burnett, Diane Beamer, Anne Pugh Lelia Smith, and Brenda Miles study vocabulary. 35 Renee Marshall inspects reference books in the library. (FRONT ROW) Mrs. Elinor Morgan.

Instructional Media Center boasted 25,000 volumes in 1976- 77. Merely keeping track of that many books was a full-time job for two librar- ians! However, they accomplished far more. Mrs. Eleanor Hullinger was responsible for the books; Mrs. Elinor Morgan was in charge of an audio-vis- ual collection that included approxi- mately 600 albums, 400-500 sound film- strips, 2000 individual filmstrips, 500 cassette tapes, 200 transparency sets, 200 filmstrips, 20 videotapes, and 75 kits (kits contained more than two types of materials). Faced with that many items, the librarians welcomed help from one full- time aide, one part-time aide (a C.O.E. student), and thirty-six student volun- teer aides. Tog ether the I.M.C. staff offered a pleasant atmosphere in which an individual or a class could research or study. The facility was open to stu- dents from 8:00 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. each day. Renee Marshall and Tina Pennington publish hold list prior to end of nine-weeks. I.M.C. Department MRS.

Mr. Mike Rolen and Mr. Harry DeHaven joined forces in team teaching govern- ment. The Social Studies Department curriculum adapted to include beha- vioral objectives, and two courses were added. Sociology and economics were combined into a one-year survey course, and World Geography II became a sequel to W.G. I. New faces in the department included Mr. Howard Mack, who taught history and geography, and Mr. Gary Lester, who had been a student teacher at P.C.H.S. during 1975-1976. Mr. Lester taught psychology. Another innovation in the Social Studies Department involved the pur- chase of additional texts. In previous years students in many social studies classes studied from classroom sets of books, which they could not take from the classroom. 1976-1977 was the first year in which every social studies stu- dent had his own textbook. Social Studies: More Books Dan McGraw, Clark Moore, and Mike Coalson study for a test in Miss Patsy King’s fourth period American history class. MRS.

Members sold refresh- ments at the bonfire and during several basketball games. Moneys earned ena- bled them to prepare for Black History Month. Black students worked diligently in preparation for the celebration of their common heritage. “Soul Gone Home,” a comedy written by Langston Hughes, was shown at Wytheville Community College and later at P.C.H.S. Marvin Lee portrayed the dead son of Debra Black. Other members of the cast were Marvin Young and Wallace Jeffreys. Troy Setzler, Constance Patterson, Jerry Cobbs, Rhonda Burnett, Chris Walker, and Angela Hash created a mural in the Commons Area. It depicted a weekly series of important Black Americans who helped shape the United States. During a Black History assembly, students sang, read pertinent essays, danced and performed plays. Shelia Clark, Chris Walker, Mary Todd, Cay Walker, and Theadore Page per- formed “Purlie Victorious,” a stinging social comedy, written by Ozzie Davis. The Union also sponsored The Royal Dancers, a dance group composed of interested students. The troupe per- formed for an activity period in November. Coordinators for the Black Student Union were Natalie Manns and Ricky Slaughter. (ABOVE) Senior Mary Todd performs as Aunt Missy. (RIGHT) Natalie Manns introduces another act.

Play Festivals! — These were some of the activities members of the Fine Arts Department at Pulaski County High School pro- duced throughout the school year. Learning notes, acting scenes, and experiencing art media, the fine arts students were gaining more knowledge in their fields of study. The Music Department offered girls’ choir, mixed choir, concert choir, marching band, concert band, sym- phonic band, and music theory, history, and appreciation. In the theatre area students chose from introduction to theatre, acting, directing, technical the- atre, pantomime, or speech communi- cations. Music and theatre classes were located in “area A,” known as the Little Theatre area, where there were sepa- rate band and choir rooms and a drama room. Much talent and work were obvi- ous in concerts, plays, regional choir and band, all-Virginia choir and band, and regional and state play festivals. The art room had a new look with added conve nience this year because the storage area was moved from the corner to a central area. This move divided the facility into double and sin- gle classroom sections and improved darkroom facilities for audio-visuals. Students engaged in drawing and paint- ing, and explored different media and in many crafts — batik, ceramics, weaving, macrame, jewelry, plastic and wood sculpture, and metal work. Open house was held October 31, 1976, in the Commons for all current and alumni art students of P.C.H.S., Pulaski and Dublin High Schools. Dem- onstrations, a slide show, and a movie about American art made this an excit- ing happening. 42 Mr. Skip Maiden. Mr. Greg Quesenberry, Mr. Bill Propst, Mrs. Edna Love, Mrs. Martha Ireson and Mrs. Lyndall Mason are the members of the Fine Arts Department. 43 Art Club The first Art Club meeting of the 1976-77 year was a pleasant surprise when over sixty students poured in — quite a contrast to the five members of the previous year. During the second meeting Mrs. Trudy Jackson demon- strated the delicate craft of making cornhusk dolls. The third meeting was spent observing Mr. Richard Steele casting a gold ring. The Art Club sponsored an open house in November. Adults and stu- dents were invited to watch a movie, observe art students working on vari- ous crafts such as silk screening, ceram- ics, oil painting, and jewelry construc- tion. Works of Pulaski High, Dublin High, and Pulaski County High alumni were also displayed. Just before Christmas vacation the Art Club had a craft sale in the com- mons. Students were able to make some money on their crafts while others were able to buy unique gifts for Christmas. Art Club members also decorated the commons and an area bank, helping to elevate the Christmas spirit. The Science Club requested aid from other departments in improving the Nature Trail. Art Club members painted signs and maps to aid walkers and to beautify the trail. Sponsors Nov.

The members of the Pulaski County High School Marching Cougar Band undertook several fund-raising projects to help finance a trip to Bradenton, Flo- rida, to compete in the Desota Festival. These projects included Claxton fruit- cake, candle, and Ar-Wes Treasure Chest sales. Various civic organizations also donated money to aid in the trip expenses. The festival proved to be very excit- ing. The fifteen bands that competed for honors were allowed to compete only by invitation. Having field judges was a new experience for the Cougar Band. The competition included both field and parade competition. Under the direction of the talented George Pugh, the band played several songs which included “Miserlou” and “Brian’s Song.” All units of the band were judged separately. The drum major, flag corps, rifle corps, and Majorettes each had one judge. They were judged on precision, general appearance and the complexity of the routines. Natalie Manns and George Pugh watch as the flag corps goes through its routine.

On the way to the festival in Braden- ton, the Cougar Band stopped in rampa, Florida, to tour Busch Gardens. There the band members spent a full day in African surroundings. On their way home, the Cougars stopped in Orlando to experience a full day of the excitement and wonder of Disney World. By participating in the Desoto Festi- val in Bradenton, Florida, the Cougar Marching Band gained a valuable sense of determination. All of the hard work and hours of practice finally proved to be worthwhile. 49 Traci Brown Accompanies Girls’ Choir Under the direction of Mr. Gregory Quesenberry, the Non-Selective Mixed Choir, a group of boys and girls in grades ten through twelve, met each day during second period. The choir was open to interested students with previous choir experience. The accom- panists for N.S.M.C. were Susan Shelor and Cindy Stafford. The Girls’ Choir, a group of girls in grades nine through twelve, met each day during fourth period. This choir was open to any girl who had an inter- est in choral music but had had no pre- vious choral experience. Traci Brown accompanied. Both choirs performed Christmas and spring concerts and were invited to audition for All-Regional Chorus. Five members from the two choirs were selected as members.

The choir was under the direction of Mr. Gregory Quesen- berry and was accompanied by Trionne Hilliard. The students sang a variety of music including contemporary, reli- gious, and patriotic. The musicians’ activities included concerts at Christ- mas, in February, and in the spring. The choir also sang the National Anthem at the basketball games. The Christmas concert was centered around the theme “Toyland.” Members donned costumes characteristic of small children, pup- pets, clowns, and gift-wrapped pack- ages. The choir performed at the Christ- mas school assembly, as well as at Jef- ferson Elementary School in Pulaski where the talented musicians brought joy and laughter to all. The students also performed at the baccalaureate service and at graduation. In November the members of the Concert and Mixed Choirs traveled to Bristol, Virginia, where about four hun- dred students from southwest Virginia competed for one hundred sixty posi- tions for All-Regional Chorus held in February at Carroll County High School. In February All-Regional Choir members auditioned for All-State Choir held March 31-April 2 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. One member from the Pulaski County High School Concert Choir along with four alternates was chosen. The ninth graders of the Senior Choir auditioned, along with other ninth graders from the region, at Tazewell, Virginia, in December for Junior High All-Regional Choir. Regional Choir was held April 15-16 at Abingdon, Virginia, where ten P.C.H.S. ninth graders were chosen. One of the highlights of the year was competing in the “McDonalds” contest. Schools competed with each other try- ing to find a unique arrangement to win. The P.C.H.S. Concert Choir chose to use a harmonizing effect. The area winner won $200, while the Roanoke- Lynchburg area won $500.

As it did all clubs, bad weather adversely affected the Drama Club, and also many members seemed bound by conflicting priorities. The club attempted to sponsor a pot luck supper during December. Snow forced postponement; then conflicts interfered. There was no pot luck sup- per. In the spring the Drama Club mem- bers became more active. They sold advance tickets for an evening perform- ance of “The Brick and the Rose.’’ Later, they served in numerous capaci- ties to insure that the District One-Act Play Festival was a successful event.

In December they returned to rehearsing in preparation for the Roanoke Valley District One-Act Play Festival. The P.C. Players hosted district festival Saturday, March 12, 1977. Franklin County High School ' s The Murder of Lidice,” William Flem- ing’s Not Enough Rope,” and The Brick and the Rose” were the only plays to win superior ratings. Critic judge Dr. John Rude evalu- ated the performances. The Cougar win qualified cast members to com- pete in the regional festival at Stone- wall Jackson Senior High School in Manassas, March 19. A win there qualified the cast to attend the State One-Act Play Festival in Charlottes- ville.

The students presented six got hic tales including “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner, “The Whole Town’s Sleeping” by Ray Bradbury, Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” and ‘‘The Con- queror Worm” by Edgar Allan Poe. Cast members were Cynthia Ander- son, Lucy Prillaman, Jayne Gloster, Sandi Landis, Jim Gloster, John Perry, David Windle, Tal Stanley, and Jamie Sypniewski.

The Math Department offered P.C.H.S. students fifty classes rang- ing from the practical Math 9 to aca- demic calculus for seniors. New staff members this year included Mr. Odell Sheffey, Mr. Phillip Vickers, and Mr. John Joseph. Mr. Joseph also taught chemistry. Students in math classes were individually evaluated and shifted from one level of difficulty to another. In this way the math depart- ment kept course content appropri- ate for students. The department employed a vari- ety of texts and materials. In these they sought to achieve relevant con- tent and to present material clearly and systematically. Hoping to better prepare college-bound students, the department introduced calculus this year. P.C.H.S. students involved in the new course generally agreed that it was challenging but interesting.

Wins Xmas Basket Drive For the second consecutive year, the science pod led all competitors in the annual S.C.A. Christmas Basket Drive. They also produced the winning class- room — Mrs. Ruth Sloop’s first period chemistry class. ' Also their activities extended beyond these worthwhile achievements. Science teachers offered their stu- dents one required and four elective courses. In ninth and tenth grade classes, team teaching enhanced the earth science and Biology 10 courses. Upperclassmen who elected to take sci- ence studied chemistry or physics or both. Many activities and field trips enliv- ened traditional lectures in science classes. The Science Club, hoping to retain their state trophy, worked dili- gently on the nature trail. Some science students and teachers traveled to Harri- sonburg, Virginia, to gain first hand information regarding alternative energy sources. Other Science Depart- ment activities included viewings at the Wysor Observatory; P.R.I.D.E. (Pulaski- ans Recyling In Defense Of The Envi- ronment), a science-department- devised paper collecting organization; an International Foods Day; a slide presentation on sewage and water treatment in Pulaski County; and the annual Science Fair.

Science Club, recognized by the Virginia Junior Acad- emy of Science as the most outstanding science club in Virginia and recipient of the E.C.L. Miller award and trophy, was a tough act to follow. Continuing devel- opment of the school’s award-winning outdoor classroom area was a difficult task due to the clean-up required after extensive cutting of trees and under- brush during the summer months and the severe winter of ’77 limiting outdoor work. However, this year’s club proved equal to the task, and with the financial backing and support of the school board, the area was better than ever. Sponsoring the P.C.H.S. Science Fair and participating in the Western Vir- ginia Regional Science Fair and the Vir- ginia Academy of Science were among the club’s activities. Club members enjoyed field trips to Mount Rogers and the Cascades and toured some area industrial plants. Outstanding speakers from the community and nearby col- leges presented interesting programs and opportunities for members. Several club members formed a Youth Con- servation Board as an auxiliary of the Skyline Soil and Conservation District, with conservation projects underway. A newsletter, “The Shooting Star,” was published periodically by the Science Club. Science Club Cleans N.T.

Mrs. Lois Neblett taught science, social studies, and one English class. Mrs. Nydia Meredith taught the remain- ing English classes and all math classes. New for special education students was the adaptive physical education class (which also included some stu- dents from regular academic classes). Many special education students also participated in non-special-education classes such as child care or horticul- ture. Mr. Bob Whytal directed the Resource Room. Students attended the Resource Room for help in school rela- ted areas, including learning problems or behavior management. Mr. Whytal also counse led with students and taught several courses in a one-to-one or small group situation. Special Education Department MRS.

World of Communications students studied visual and telecommunications systems, processes and organizations. Learning experiences included the study of technical developments such as the telephone, radio, radar, televi- sion, offset press, electrostatic press, and camera. Content included techni- cal, historical, social, economic, career and consumer information related to contemporary developments in the communications industry. The study was grounded in the past and led to the exploration of developments with potential for future applications. Students in the World of Construc- tion course learned through activity ori- ented laboratory experiences. Many of these experiences, however, involved role-playing, miniaturization, or simu- lation. Topics included topographical surveying, blueprinting, cash specifica- tions, project bidding, hiring, interview- ing, block-laying, and iron-working. Additionally, students framed a miniaturized wall, roofed the structure, then installed electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. Thereafter, each stu- dent designed and built a model of his dream house. Industrial Arts Department MR.

Occupational stu- dents developed skills in baking, cater- ing, and breakfast food preparation. They operated a simulated bakery part of the year and prepared pies, cakes, cookies, and rum balls, among other treats. They prepared a wedding cake for the consumer home economics mock wedding and a fiftieth wedding anniversary cake for a staff member’s parents. Students learned cake decorat- ing on a field trip to Le Gourmet Res- taurant in Roanoke, where Chef Eugene Fesquet and his French parents demon- strated techniques and worked with the students in developing skill. The culmi- nation of their efforts came in April when students traveled to Richmond to participate in the three-day Virginia Culinary Arts Show. Additionally, occupational home economics students operated the Cougars’ Den Restaurant and a coffee shop. Consumer and Homemaking Educa- tion offered courses in four family liv- ing areas. These were “Consumption of Goods and Services in the Family,” Cultural Development in the Family,” Individual Development in the Fam- ily,” and “Management in the Family.” In addition to classroom presentations and activities in these areas, consumer home economics students and teachers also planned and executed a mock wedding involving P.C.H.S. students and staff members. Child Care students often crowded the busy occupational home economics kitchen preparing lunches and snacks for children in the day care center they operated. They studied the develop- ment and care of young children and spent part of their second year working in a local kindergarten.

DEBORAH GRIFFITH Mr. Richard Hylton Joins Ag. Ed. Dept. Two hundred-fifty Pulaski County L High School students were enrolled in I some type of agricultural education I course in 1976-1977. A wide variety of i opportunities was offered to the stu- dents interested in any phase of agricul- ture. In the first two years a study of basic agricultural science and mechan- ics or an introductory course in horti- | culture was offered. Students in grades eleven and twelve could choose to enroll in Production Agriculture or Ornamental Horticulture. Students enrolled in Agricultural Sci- ence and Mechanics reviewed the basic principles of science, mathematics, and economics, and explored ways of applying these to agricultural situa- tions. This study, along with basic agri- cultural mechanics training, prepared the students for advanced study and training in agriculture. The first year students enrolled in horticulture stud- ied the basics of plant science and were introduced to the production of plants in the greenhouse. Agricultural production courses offered two years of advanced study and training for persons desiring to become proficient in the plant, soil, and animal sciences. Agricultural mecha- nization was also studied. Ornamental Horticulture courses provided a chance for the students to explore phases of horticulture such as greenhouse and nursery management. Laboratory experience in propagation, greenhouse operation, and flower arranging were just a few of the oppor- tunities offered these students. Laboratory experience in the agricul- tural mechanics shop, the greenhouse, the lath house, the school farm, the supervised experience programs, and F.F.A. activities allowed students of agriculture to apply much of the knowl- edge and skills learned in the class- room. Leadership training, various competitive activities, and recognition for outstanding achievements were some of the opportunities provided through the F.F.A. organization.

Future Homemakers of America Stress “A Helping Hand” as 1976-77 Slogan The Future Homemakers of America was an organization of high school jun- iors and seniors attempting to attain personal growth and leadership skills. The F.H.A. emphasized sharing rather than competing. Members “adopted” families and visited local nursing homes. They also stressed “A Helping Hand” as their emphasis and patterned club programs around this slogan. F.H.A. members prepared hot dogs for sale at football games, attended a fash- ion show at Radford College, and went skating and picnicking with the F.F.A. Home Economics Related Occupa- tions (H.E.R.O. -F.H.A.) was a club com- posed of students who were enrolled in child care or food services. Members held regular monthly meetings and par- ticipated in special activities such as skating parties, banquets, and camp. Each area chose an outstanding mem- ber at the end of the year.

Chapter was one of the ten schools in the nation rec- ognized at the National Convention for work with the March of Dimes. During a period of three years, the P.C.H.S. Chapter contributed over $37,000 to help fight birth defects. Early in the school year the F.B.L.A. sponsored a member in the Pulaski County Beauty Pageant and won sec- ond place with their entry in the 1977 Homecoming mini-parade. In Novem- ber, a Thanksgiving basket worth approximately $75 was given to a needy family of nine in Pulaski County. In December, the F.B.L.A. ' ers made their annual visit to Joy Ranch in Hills- ville. Everyone enjoyed an evening of games and group singing. Each child at Joy Ranch received a Christmas present as well as a “goodie bag. Over $250 worth of presents were donated by F.B.L.A. ' ers to help in making the chil- dren ' s Christmas an even brighter one. A highlight of the evening was a visit by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Also, in December, a Christmas Stocking hop was sponsored by the F.B.L.A. for all students at P.C.H.S. The highlight of the evening was the crown- ing of a Christmas Snow Queen. Due to the close competition, Rhonda Ramsey and Barbara Legette were crowned the 1977 Snow Queens. Cupcakes were given to the school administration and all teachers of P.C.H.S. in honor of F.B.L.A. week. Flower arrangements depicting F.B.L.A. colors were presented to the main and vocational office staffs in appreciation of their interest in F.B.L.A. To end the week ' s activities, F.B.L.A.

Departments Offer Practicality Vocational Industrial courses at P.C.H.S. presented students with both theoretical and practical learning expe- riences. The health services students not only took notes and studied text- books but also put into practice the skills they studied. Industrial maintenance mechanics students studied welding, small gaso- line engine operation and repair, elec- tricity, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Students in drafting classes learned let- tering and other standard drafting tech- niques. Building trades students built and sold storage buildings. Seniors in the program brick-cased the gas pump building and roofed the football ticket booths. Auto mechanics students, in addition to routine tune-ups and lube jobs, over- hauled engines, installed brake linings and mufflers, aligned wheels and changed tires. Manicures, haircuts, facials, hair- styling. frosting and coloring, and p er- manent waving occupied cosmetology students, who worked to prepare for State Boards. Building maintenance students stud- ied house framings, general house wir- ing. and welding basics, including beading, tacking, and strapping. The aroma of baking cakes, cookies and cinnamon rolls drew hungry P.C.H.S. ' ers to service occupations classes. In addition to baking, the stu- dents studied personal hygiene and good grooming. Electronics students experimented with soldering, prepared basic circuits, and built kits.

Specific areas of study included diseases, consumer health, environmental health, and first aid. Tenth graders studied the class- room portion of driver education. The activity phase of physical educa- tion involved a variety of team and individual recreations. Students per- formed in the gym and outdoors, and studied the strategies behind the activi- ties in addition to performing. The Physical Education Department increased the scope of coeducational activities to include folk dancing, soft- ball, and volleyball. Sophomores also participated in coed social dancing. For upperclassmen, an advanced coed physical education course was offered as an elective. This course was a purely activity-oriented class, with no classroom health study involved. Though team sports were included in the Physical Education Program, the staff emphasized individual sports and activities. Such an emphasis aided stu- dents in obtaining skills in activities in which the individual could participate all his life. Also the department added an adaptive P.E. class to enable handi- capped students to obtain skills neces- sary to successful participation in vari- ous recreational activities.

The girls’ athletic teams received sup- port from the G.A.A. The Club voted at the first meeting to give each team fifty dollars to be used as needed. G.A.A. members also made posters to show support for the teams. By participating in activities, a club member could earn points. By earning fifteen hundred points, a member could earn enough points to receive three bars and then a star. Awards were pre- sented to various members in the spring.

These individuals efficiently planned, pre- pared, and served nutritious meals each day. They also worked overtime on occasions providing a fabulous after- Prom breakfast for the P.C.H.S. stu- dents and staff, and the food for the spring athletic banquet. The staff was organized into depart- ments. Workers within the departments prepared meats, salads, vegetables, sandwiches, or desserts according to their areas of specialization. In addition to a Class-A lunch line, the cafeteria also operated the popular a la carte line and a separate dining room for teach- ers.

At worst it was a back- breaking drudgery of repairing the damage occasioned by burst or broken water pipes or by vandals. Nevertheless, armed with vacuum cleaners, dust cloths and other para- phernalia, the custodial staff each day restored order to P.C.H.S. Even when low temperatures or snow forced school closings, the custodians labored on, catching up on chores, removing snow and ice from walkways, or per- haps beginning “spring-cleaning” a bit early. Two shifts of workers cared for the physical facility. The day shift worked from 7:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Then, just as students prepared to leave, the night shift workers arrived and worked until 11:00 P.M. Removing quantities of paper, gum, mud, and other debris from the carpets, the custodians kept P.C.H.S. clean for students, staff, and visitors.

Key Club Sells Candy and Cougar Decals The Key Club was a public and com- munity service group in alliance with the Kiwanis Clubs in the county and the Ciroie K of New River Community Col- lege. At P.C.H.S. the club raised the flag each morning and lowered and folded it each evening. They also sold ads, compiled layouts and published basket- ball programs, which they sold at home basketball games. In other money-making projects, the Key Club sold candy and Cougar decals. They also helped with the Kiwanis Club Haunted House during Halloween and supported a needy fam- ily during Christmas time. Keyettes played a vital role in the activities of the Key Club. To culminate a successful year, members of the Key Club attended the twenty-eighth annual Capital District Convention in Virginia Beach.

The Jayteens Club joined the roster of clubs and organizations of P.C.H.S. for the first time this year, primarily on an experimental basis. The club and club members worked directly through the Pulaski Jaycee’s organization and were sponsored by Mr. Gary Lester. The objectives of the club were to serve the school and community; to provide lead- ership training; and to improve the character of members through the ideals and purposes of the Jaycees. Some of the accomplishments of the club were sponsoring a haunted house, taking several needy Pulaski children Christmas shopping, and participating in the Pulaski Christmas parade. The Jayteens sponsored a sock hop in April. They also sold advance tickets to the Donna Fargo Concert held March 12, 1977 . 97 I.C.F.

The Interdenominational Christian Fellowship was a growing club. Mem- bership increased over three-fold, and a renewed interest in the spiritua l bene- fits resulting from a personal relation- ship with Jesus Christ brought encour- agement and enthusiasm to all the members. Students were challenged and inspired by the monthly programs which were interrupted by the holidays and snow days from November until February. A minister and former Pula- ski High School student, T. P. Johnston, presented an inspiring program for the November meeting. Students from Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute and State University presented a program of testi- mony and song in October. Mr. Phil Vickers of the P.C.H.S. Math Depart- ment talked to members during the September meeting. A widely acclaimed Christian film, “What’s Up Josh?” was viewed in the Little Theatre by the I.C.F. Club and many English classes. All club participants enjoyed their fellowship in the club.

Snow blankets the campus and surrounding fields at Pulaski County High School. Though roads are scraped and clear, students are not yet back to school. 102 The Awful Winter of ’77 “Hurray — No School Today” The Winter of 1977 — it was so bad that the national network news pro- grams devoted a portion of each night’s air time to discussing snow, low temp- eratures, and fuel shortages. In Pulaski County the weather was an issue, too. Temperatures plunged to record lows several times, and snow and ice made dr iving hazardous. Schools had closed nineteen times by February 1, 1977. Pulaski County students were delighted with their mid-winter holiday while it lasted. All too soon, however, the grim fact that one had to attend school on Saturday and during spring break erased earlier smiles. Even when the snow melted, schools remained closed due to the Governor ' s Emergency Order demanding fuel con- servation. For three weeks in January, nighttime temperatures hovered near zero — daytime temperatures rarely reached thirty. “Hip, Hip Hurray, No School Today,” aired from a local radio station for days.

For some, school was merely an unpleasant experience to be borne patiently or otherwise. For the majority, however, school involved participation. Classes required homework, notetak- ing, and tests in some instances; but there were other aspects. Some classes were performance oriented. Others entailed extra-curricular pursuits. Whether the P.C.H.S. “family” partici- pated as performers or spectators, they found ample opportunities for involve- ment in school or school-related activi- ties.

Breaks Provide Welcomed Occasion for Socializing School was classes and clubs, per- formances and contests. It was also a home away from home for many stu- dents and staff members. Six hours of classes constituted a school day, but before, between, and after classes the Pulaski County family found time for social, recreational, or business pur- suits. Members of the administration often conferred with each other regarding scheduling, skipping or other problems. Faculty members sought a brief respite from classes in work areas or the lounge. Students congregated in the Commons or locker banks to chat or dialed an off-campus friend. The I.M.C., generally a place for study and research, also offered occasional opportunities for socializing. For some students the smoking areas were the most important part of the school. No matter how badly class had gone, a few quick drags on a cigarette made the day bearable. 107 (TOP LEFT) Dane Peake performs his role as Father Confessor in The Brick and the Rose.” (TOP RIGHT) Falling snow gently carpets the courtyard at night.

Busy at Night Many important activities at P.C.H.S. occurred at night. True, the usual crowd of 9:00 to 3:00 persons were con- tained within the Cougar tapestry; but for many students and staff persons, the dismissal bell merely indicated that it was time for another responsibility. For cheerleaders, athletes, dramatists, and band students night practices were routine, and night competitions or per- formances were the rule. Special occasions also involved night sessions. Club, class and athletic ban- quets drew students and staff members to a pleasant evening of food and fun in the Commons Area. Of course, night- time activities generally meant longer hours of supervision for administration and faculty members. Generally, how- ever, they came agreeably and stayed until the activity was over. Chemistry students returned to school every Mon- day night to make-up labs, work on sci- ence projects, or get help with chemis- try problems. Yearbook staff members worked well past midnight meeting the March 1 deadline. Also, many students worked nights at various businesses in the community. 1 09 (RIGHT) Sandi Trivett and friends ride in the Christmas Parade.

The physical facilities at the school were used for far more than classes. Despite this exten- sive use, P.C.H.S. was often the scene of various community activities. The Ruri- tan Club used the Theatr e and Cafete- ria for meetings. The Commons Area served as a testing station for P.S.A.T. and S.A.T. exams, and the Red Cross conducted the Blood Mobile here several times. On occasions community organizations staged concerts in the gym, and political parties used the facil- ity for rallies. The Flu Shot Clinic was held here November 20, 1976. Many Pulaski County residents participated in the clinic. Some served as clerical or medi- cal personnel. Others came merely to get the shot. The P.C.H.S. family often left the facility to participate in community affairs. The Cougar band marched in area Christmas parades and played for business “grand openings.” The band boosters joined the Civitan Club in a fruitcake sales campaign, with part of the proceeds helping to finance the band trip to Florida.

Beauty Pageant Brings Transformation Most of the time, most of the students at P.C.H.S. dressed to be comfortable. Typical fashions were jeans, T-shirts, tennis shoes, and an occasional tobog- gan or slouch hat. In the coldest weather students sometimes added sweatshirts or coats and changed the tennis shoes for earth shoes. Four nights of the year, however, P.C.H.S. girls suddenly transformed themselves into beautifully dressed and made-up young ladies. The events involved were the beauty pageant, the Homecoming Dance, the Winter For- mal and the Prom. Beauty pageant night, 137 lovely girls crowded the stage of the Little Theatre vying for the title of Miss Pulaski County High School. Forgotten were the jeans and tennis shoes. A very few minutes after they were eliminated, however, most of the contestants were back into jeans.

(BOTTOM RIGHT) The five finalists are Susan Thomas, Tammy Ridpath, Jenny McCrary, Jewell Price and Angela Hash. 113 As the curtains open for the Miss P.C.H.S. pageant, 137 contestants fill the bleachers. A record number of 137 girls entered the 1976 Miss P.C.H.S. Beauty Pageant. Only twenty girls had entered after the first week of eligibility. By September 18, however, 117 more girls had entered, sponsored by the various classes and clubs at P.C.H.S. An entry fee of $5.00 permitted a girl to compete. A panel of three judges chose the new queen along with a first and a second runner-up. The 137 girls were narrowed to forty- five in the first cut, to twelve in the sec- ond cut, and to five in the third cut. The five finalists chosen were Angela Hash, Jenny McCrary, Jewell Price, Tammy Ridpath and Susan Thomas. Tammy Ridpath was selected Miss Pulaski County High School 1976-77. Jewell Price and Susan Thomas were selected as first and second runners-up, respectively. Last year’s co-queens, Ava Manns and Ruthie Franklin, crowned the new queen. Mistress of Ceremonies was Ms. Lynn Sutphin, a former Miss Pulaski County, and entertainment was pro- vided by Lynette Morris, Cindy Ander- son and Trionne Hilliard. Escorts for the evening were Wayne Biggs, Gary Hash, Goober Johnson, Rick O’Dell and Maceo Patterson. The judges were Mrs. Christine Hopkins, a teacher from Roa- noke, and Drs. Antoine Hobeika and Robert Popper, from the Civil Engineer- ing Department at VPI SU. The pageant, held in the Little Thea- tre before a standing-room-only audi- ence, lasted three hours. The Theatre was so packed that those who could not find other seats sat in chairs in the aisles. The Fire Marshall ordered these people to remove their chairs. Angry patrons complained to Mrs. Myers that they had paid for seating. Nevertheless, the Fire Marshall’s ruling held. (ABOVE) In the band room odd-numbered contestants relax between rounds.

Monday A.M., November 1 Monday morning, November 1, 1976, arrived at P.C.H.S., and so did over 2,000 individuals — students, faculty, administrators and staff. By first period these individuals had begun the activi- ties which determined the pattern of life at Pulaski County High School. Danny Cox, a senior, signed into school at 9:25. Mrs. Shirley Umberger logged his arrival time and prepared his admit slip in the administrative office. Cathy Spicer, hopeful of attracting the photographer’s attention, flashed Troy Setzler’s “Carter” book cover. She suc- ceeded. At approximately the same time in the Commons Area, Mr. Dewey Wilson completed an arsenal form for Jay Bane. By 9:35 library aide Ronnie Ridpath had almost completed his chemistry assignment. During a lull in his library duties, Ronnie balanced equations. In the Vocational Building students performed a variety of tasks. Sherree Burgess, Carl Gregory and Sue Quesen- berry examined plants rooting under the mist system in Horticulture III. Kathy Quesenberry and Sarah Yates potted seedlings in the same depart- ment. While senior Natalie Hale gingerly fingered the keys in her Clerk-Typist II class, sophomores Wendell Jones, John Saunders and William Marshall care- fully cleaned a silk screen stencil in World of Communications. At the other end of the building, Kenneth Gray sanded the primer on his Auto Body project. Elsewhere, students and faculty members stole time from classes to pur- sue extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Junior Ruthie Franklin applied the finishing touches to her poster advertising the VICA Sock-Hop (and misspelled the band’s name) while Mr. John Swope displayed his interpre- tation of the Bicentennial. Perhaps, the happiest of all was junior John Burc- ham who proudly displayed the drama trophy he had helped win. The pattern was drawn. Only the names of the participants changed with the days. “The Brick and the Rose” Wins “Masque” Trophy The 1976 fall production of the Pula- ski County Players was a one act play entitled The Brick and the Rose writ- ten by Lewis John Carlino and adapted by Skip Maiden, Kitty Earles and the late Mrs. Helen McKay. It was the P.C. Players’ entry in the Virginia Intermont College invitational one-act play festi- val called “The Masque.” It was also the P.C. entry in District One Act Play competition held at Pulaski County High School in March. The play related the story of Tommy (portrayed by Chris Walker) from birth to drug addiction to his eventual sui- cide. The play was done in the Inter- preter’s Theater mode and featured an acting ensemble of ten students who sat on stools. The cast included Julie Hardy, the narrator; Sammy Moore; Dane Peake; Trionne Hilliard; Diana Jaap; Chris Walker; John Burcham; Beau Farmer; Marie Reid and David Clark. Critic judge for the festival was film and television personality Mr. Tom Ber- enger. In addition to appearing in tooth- paste commercials, Mr. Berenger star- red for a year in the television soap opera One Life to Live.” He also per- formed in the N.B.C. film “Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye,” based on the early political career of John F. Kennedy, and in the Universal Pictures film “The Sen- tinel.” The Brick and the Rose” won the first place trophy for the festival with Mr. Berenger remarking, “Abso- lutely phenomenal, very profes- sional, and great!” Two members of the cast, Trionne Hilliard and Chris Walker, were chosen as Best Actress and Actor, respectively. Five mem- bers were selected for an All-Star Cast consisting of eleven of the best students from all Competing Schools: Trionne Hilliard, Chris Walker, Diane Jaap, John Burcham, and Marie Reid. This win permitted the P.C. Players to represent the region in a contest along with two other regional winners in a “Showcase of Best One Acts” at the Southeastern Theatre Conference representing thea- tre groups from a ten state area. “The Brick and the Rose” cast competed for best one act play in the state of Virginia. The play was directed by Skip Maiden, Greg Quesenberry, Kitty Earles, and Dorothy Reid. Stage manag- ers were Sheila Clark and Brenda Riggle. 118 (ABOVE RIGHT) Provocative Trionne Hilliard per- forms her harlot role in “The Brick and the Rose.

District One-Act Play Receives “Superior” Rating On March 5, 1976, Pulaski County Drama students were host for the West- ern District One Act Play Festival in the Pulaski County Little Theater. Partici- pating schools were George Washing- ton of Danville, Northside, Patrick Henry and William Fleming of Roa- noke, E. C. Glass of Lynchburg and Pulaski County. Critic judge for the festival was Mrs. Mary Pat Hall, Western Virginia’s Supervisor of Language Arts for the State Department of Education. The Pulaski County Players’ entry for the festival was an original one act play written by Skip Maiden of Pulaski County High School. The play was enti- tled, “The Fowl Knight” or “The Gro- cer’s Honor.” The play was a parody of “The Knight of the Burning Pestle” written in 1607 (the same year as the Jamestown Colonization) by two British playwrights, Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. The P.C. production was costumed in Elizabethan dress and featured a madrigal choir directed by Greg Ques- enberry. The cast of thirty featured Chris Walker in the title role with Mike Sut- ton and Roma Sutphin portraying lead roles. The P.C. play, for the second straight year, received a “superior” rat- ing and the highest score in district competition. The “superior” rating advanced the play to regional level competition held at Stafford High School near Washing- ton, D.C., where it received an “excel- lent” rating.

Various events throughout the week helped to promote school spirit. The Homecoming Bonfire was held on Tuesday night. The cheer- leaders led cheers and the band played while the fire burned. Refreshments were sold by the Literary Magazine staff and by the Black Student Union. The Homecoming Pep Rally was held Friday afternoon during the fifth and sixth periods. Several class competition winners were announced at the pep rally. The Junior Class won the spirit chain competition followed by the sophomore, senior, and freshman classes, respectively. Junior class presi- dent, Goober Johnson, accepted all the chains. The Senior Class won the GAA Sweetheart competition with their rep- resentative, Sammy Moore. Rick O’Dell, representing the Junior Class, took second place, Dee Boitnott of the Freshman Class took third and Greg Blankenship won fourth place for the Sophomore Class. Mini-float competition winners were also announced at the pep rally. The winners were the VICA clubs with the float Cougar Express.” The FBLA won second place with “Shell the Colonels.” The Science Club float won third place honors. Their float was entitled “Dis- solve the Colonels.” The Homecoming game with William Fleming was postponed until Saturday night because of bad weather, but many loyal fans attended the game before going to the dance. The Cougars played well but lost by the score of 6-13. (ABOVE LEFT) “Sophomores! Are you with us?!” YEA! MAN!” — the class of 79 competes in the spirit yell.

It started later than planned (9:00) because of the football game. However, to compensate for the late beginning, the dance did not end until 1:00 a.m. The band was “The Gran- deurs” featuring Act III.” Members of the Homecoming Court had been chosen earlier through two elections. In the preliminary vote, each member of the senior class voted for twenty-six girls and twenty-six boys from his class. Twenty-seven girls (there was a tie for twenty-sixth place) and twenty-six boys became semi-final- ists. From this list of fifty-three stu- dents, the entire student body chose thirteen girls and thirteen boys. The members of the Homecoming Court reigned at the dance. Those hon- ored were Shelia Clark and B. C. Clark, Kathy Crews and Brent Thompson, Marsha Dula and Reggie Slaughter, Sabrina Farmer and Mitch Martin, Sally Gannaway and Mitch Webb, Beth Holt and Kenny Hall, Gwen King and Billy Byrd, Natalie Manns and Sammy Moore, Kathy Neblett and Keith Phil- lips, Candy Painter and Wayne Biggs, Sue Quesenberry and Terry Jones, Dena Trobaugh and Jamie Sypniewski, and Melynda White and Maceo Patterson. At 10:00 p.m., Beth Holt and Kenny Hall were crowned Queen and King, respectively, by last year’s King and Queen, Gary Gib- son and Sarah Agee.

With that sentence Chris Walker introduced the band at all football games and each time, student and adult fans cheered. Behind the pride and the cheering lay Tuesday night and fourth period practice sessions and a week-long band camp at Con- cord College, Athens, West Virginia. Each Tuesday night band members returned to school at 6:00 p.m. For two or three hours, they rehearsed the music and routines for the following Friday night. During fourth period, they practiced in the band room for the first two weeks, then took to the practice field for most of the remainder of marching season. Rain and cold weather, though common dur- ing October and November, did not interrupt band practice! Band camp, held during the week of August 8-14, provided the foundation for marching season. Boarding school buses at P.C.H.S. August 8, band members prepared themselves for the two-hour trip and the week to follow. At camp they performed daily field drills and music practices, but they also found time for a birthday party for Brenda Riggle and for bowling and air hockey tournaments. The 125 instrumentalists, ten percussion- ists, sixteen flag corps members, six rifles (a new addition), five majorettes and the drum major learned a new marching style — drum and bugle corps. Don and Barbara Griffin and Kim Olds assisted Mr. William Propst in effecting the change.

Before each home football game, the band played the school song and the National Anthem. During all football games band members assisted the cheerleaders with chants as drum beats amplified the volume of chants and yells, and the band cheering section rivaled that of the Pep Club. When two minutes remained in the second quarter, members filed onto the track to line up for their field entrance. They marched onto the field to “Miserlou, performed their routines to “Chester Overture” and “Russian Sailor Dance,” and concluded with “Brian’s Song.” The band exited to a cadence of bells and the rim taps of the drums. In addition to halftime shows, the band competed in the Radford and Pulaski Christ- mas parades and in three band festivals. At the Chilhowie Apple Festival, the Cougar Band received a 1 (Superior) rating in field performance. On November 13, they traveled to Winston Salem to compete in the Wake Forest Uni- versity Marching Band Festival, and on March 24-26, they attended the Desoto Festi- val held in Bradenton, Florida. 127 (BELOW) Mr. John Newberry introduces Keith Phillips and Allison Haller — Prom 1976.

Aside from the fact that they were the only students leaving school through graduation, seniors were also inclined to think of many of the events of their last year in terms of the finality involved. Even those most adamant in their vows that they were glad to be leaving school had to think of their last year as a link to the future. In many cases that future loomed threateningly. In all cases it involved some uncer- tainty. For these reasons and others, seniors seemed special in 1977. At their last Prom, they danced and laughed and talked. Finally, the time came for them to be introduced. As they lined up, Mr. John Newberry introduced the “Class of 1977 of Pulaski County High School in one of its final undergraduate appearances.” Graduation was all that remained.

Varsity cheerleader Melynda White was selected to attend the Governor’s School for the Gifted; she also earned one of the highest scholastic averages in her class. Trionne Hilliard also attended Governor’s School; she won the coveted Bland Award for piano and was a varsity cheerleader. A third Governor’s School represent- ative, Marsha Dula was also a varsity cheerleader, a scholar, and a musician. Shelia Clark, a veteran P.C.H.S. cheer- leader, was named to the Homecoming Court; Shelia frequently entertained her schoolmates by singing at school functions. Senior class president and a member of the Homecoming Court was Mitch Martin. Sally Gannaway, vice president of her class and organizer of many of its activities, was active in 4-H. Class sec- retary Dena Trobaugh also won elec- tion to the Homecoming Court. Melynda White leans on the rail at the I.M.C. She was cheerleader and scholar.

D.A.R. winner Renee Wilson poses at the water fountain. Outstanding senior Jamie Sypniewski was named “most valuable” in the annual P.C.H.S. Christmas tournament; he also represented the school at Boys’ State. Mitch Webb served as president of the S.C.A. and of the F.F.A. Pretty Beth Holt, a fall varsity cheerleader, was named Homecoming Queen by her class and schoolmates. Her King, Kenny Hall, served as co-captain of the varsity football team. Kathy Neblett was Pula- ski County’s foremost female athlete; she won her teams’ “most valuable” awards in both basketball and tennis. Renee Wilson, a varsity cheerleader in ’75-76, received the coveted Daughters of the American Revolution award. Gwen King, a prominent figure in S.C.A. activities at P.C.H.S., co-cap- tained the fall varsity cheerleaders. Homecoming Court member Terry Jones was also a member of the varsity baseball team. Robbie Campbell, a pole vault whiz, was treasurer of his gradu- ating class. Gary Wiley led his team to a basketball victory against Patrick Henry and served as the stabilizing force all season. Homecoming Court member Keith Phillips served as co- captain of the varsity football team. The Four Seasons — Terry Jones, baseball: Robbie Campbell, track; Gary Wiley, basketball; and Keith Phillips, football — sport appropriate equipment near the gym. 133 Mitch Martin President of Senior Class In the spring of ’76 the Class of ’77 was reminded of the importance of electing responsible fellow classmates to lead their Senior Class. Seniors announced their candidacies and sought classmates to sign petitions. After preliminary elections were held, the top two candidates for each office were required to give speeches in front of the entire Class of ’77. Elected offi- cers were President, Mitch Martin; Vice-President, Sally Gannaway; Secre- tary, Dena Trobaugh; and Reporter, Robbie Campbell. Sponsor Mrs. Edna Loftus, President Mitch Martin, Secretary Dena Trobaugh, Reporter Robbie Campbell and (not pictured) Vice-President Sally Gannaway led the Class of 1977.

Lynette Morris was a laboratory assistant at the Pulaski Community Hospital. She began her employment in 1975 and in her first year developed a great finesse in all phases of her job. Working in a position which required superior concentration and deftness, Lynette conformed to a pattern of profi- ciency and reliability. Lynette per- formed such indispensable duties as administering electrocardiogram (EKG) tests, taking urine specimens, and com- pleting paper work. Her scope of responsibilities was indeed broad, ranging from scientific procedures to clerical functions. Her service was one which was rewarding, not only in an individual sense, but also in an humani- tarian aspect as well. She was able to fulfill a personal satisfaction, and at the same time, aid those who required the helpful benefits of the hospital. Lynette Morris prepares to take an electrocardio- gram.

Downtown Exxon in the summer of 1976. The experience provided him with an income and the fringe benefit of gaining considerable information about many makes and models of auto- mobiles. John applied this information and maintained his car impeccably. Pumping gas occupied a major por- tion of his working time. Motorists, he noted, did not restrict their gas buying to warm, sunny days. The extremely low temperatures prevalent during Jan- uary ’77 made pumping gas a less than pleasant job. In addition to routine gas-up, oil checks, and window washings, John was responsible for minor automobile repair services. These included chang- ing oil, lubrication, and changing tires.

Maceo’s work area was the hardware depart- ment, where he served as a sales clerk. From 5:30 to 9:00 P.M. every weekday and from 1:00 until 7:00 P.M. every other Sunday, he stocked the shelves with wire, fuses, motor oil, air filters, and other items. Occasionally, he moved to the toy department. This assignment was more difficult because Maceo was unfamiliar with the location of specific toys. Another duty for Maceo was sweeping the floor. He and Dirk Akers were responsible for sweep- ing the back of the store each evening. Another group swept the remainder each morning. Maceo’s opinion, “It’s a good job.” Maceo Patterson replenishes stock in the hardware department of Heck’s in Pulaski.

Rules The Senior Steering Committee helped the officers plan and execute most of the activities of the Class of ’77. The S.S.C. proposed the procedure for electing students to the Homecoming Court. They also supported senior offi- cers in planning and preparing a recep- tion for P.C.H.S. alumni. Other senior projects involving mem- bers of the S.S.C. included the Blood- mobile visit. Steering Committee mem- bers helped contact potential donors and assisted Mrs. Edna Loftus and the senior officers in preparing the multi- purpose room for the visit. A Hallow- een Party also required S.S.C. input, as did the senior faculty basketball game, graduation announcements, and many other senior activities.

As a part of an inde- pendent study in the field of journal- ism. he was assigned to cover certain sports events and to write special fea- ture stories. He was responsible not only for reporting on many Pulaski County High School sports events, but also for the coverage of other area high schools and Virginia Tech as well.

Governor’s School Quartet While most students were reveling in hard at work. Along with about 400 their carefree summer days, four Pula- other Virginia high school pupils, ski County High School seniors were Elizabeth Cox, Marsha Dula, Trionne Hilliard, and Melynda White were selected to participate in the 1976 Gov- ernor’s School for the Gifted held at various colleges throughout the state of Virginia. The purpose of the Governor’s School was to provide an opportunity for emotional, social, and personal growth as well as intellectual enrich- ment — in essence a confrontation with the fusion of the total being. Informa- tion was acquired in such areas as phy- siology, political science, and music, not for want of a grade but for the desire of the knowledge itself. Interest groups, social gatherings, and recrea- tional activities were also important outlets of expression for those who attended. One of the most rewarding opportunities was the chance to meet a wide variety of talented and capable people, each of whom had unique fac- ulties and gifts to offer. The Governor’s School was truly a unique educational experience and left a deep impression upon the hearts and minds of its partici- pants. Sharon Gayle Jones — G.A.A. 9, I.C.F. 9.

He had worked in this post for well over a year, constantly devel- oping into a more competent and knowledgeable employee. Yyron became accustomed to varying work hours, as a different schedule was posted at the beginning of each week to reveal the required job periods. Meet- ing the schedule proved his ability to conform to the numerous situations involved in his position. Yyron had manifold duties — he was responsible for putting stock onto the shelves, bag- ging groceries, and also for working directly with the public. Because he expanded into such a worthy and dependable worker, Yyron was well paid for his services.

Jamie Sypniewski, Reggie Slaughter, and Terry Jones, Boys’ State represent- atives. Boys’ State Trio Boys’ State is an educational program sponsored by the American Legion. The objective of Boys’ State is to promote a better understanding of the rights, responsibilities, and duties of American citizenship. Participating in this program were representatives from high schools throughout Virginia. During the third week of June three Pulaski County High School representatives — Terry Jones, Reggie Slaughter, and Jamie Sypniewski — were privileged to experience this outstanding program. A vigorous schedule included recreational activities, many distinguished orators, and instruction about Virginia government. However, the most rewarding aspect of Boys’ State was learning to live, work, and associate with newly acquired companions. Upon arrival each representative was placed in a “city.” From these cities all governmental processes evolved; included among these processes were city caucuses, Congressional meetings, and party conventions. The week culminated with the election of a General Assembly consisting of a Governor, Lieutenant Gover- nor, and Attorney General. Good-byes were difficult, but each representative knew he must journey home and uphold the high principles of this experience for the betterment of his own com- munity.

Judy Compton was employed at the Pulaski County Public Library. Because she had been surrounded by the world of books for three years, Judy became quite adept at her job and something of a “jack of all trades” around the library. Judy’s sphere of duties revolved basi- cally around working with books and with the public. She was responsible for checking out the books that individ- uals chose to read and then re-shelving these publications when they were returned. Judy served the searching public by helping them to find informa- tion and needed facts, and reminded the negligent public to return books that were overdue. Other duties included filing cards and helping to get new books ready for circulation. As Judy became more skillful at her job, she also developed a great passion for books. Her work afforded her a useful experience and knowledge, and granted her the opportunity to work in a place that she came to love.

Our Girls’ Staters On a cold, rainy day in June 1976, 646 girls, representing almost every high school in Virginia, arrived at Longwood College to participate in the thirteenth annual session of the Virginia Girls’ State. Among these girls were three delegates representing Pulaski County High School: Pattie Compton, Dena Trobaugh, and Beth Holt. For one full and sometimes gru- eling week, the girls learned to be leaders and followers, citizens and officials. They also learned to live and work under their own government and leadership. In addition to learning about government and citizenship, each girl found new friends, shared new experiences, and discov- ered a new knowledge of herself and country. 178 KIMBERLY ANN WALTERS RICKY WAYNE WARBURTON JAMES RANDLE WARD ANTHONY RAY WEBB DEBRA LYNN VAUGHN DONNA LUNA WADE SUSAN FARRIS VAUGHN STEPHEN WAYNE WALKER DEBRA ANN VIERS LISA MARIE WALLACE TIMOTHY LAYNE VIERS WILLIAM DEAN WALLER 179 NORMAN MITCHELL WEBB WALTER SCOTT WEBB ALLEN LUTHER WEDDLE CLIFFORD ARNOLD WEISS ARLENE MAE WHITE FRANKLIN ADAIR WHITE MELYNDA JEAN WHITE V.I.C.A. 12, Football 9 -11.

Gary Hash Combines Education and Work Gary Hash worked at Coleman Furniture Company in Pulaski. He went to work before school each day (7:00 A.M. until noon), but he rarely worked on Saturdays. Gary had worked in two departments when he was interviewed. In his first assignment area, the “rub room,” he loaded the elevator and prepared furniture for ship- ping. In the “glue room,” his second area, he broke down tops as they came from the veneering machine and sent them on to the “veneer room.” He removed glue and other blemishes prior to loading the furniture according to its job number.

They met at Susan Pace’s home and made posters and noisemakers and worked on the Junior class showcase. Using many plans and joint efforts, they decorated for the Homecoming Dance. They also spent several days cutting paper into confetti for the Homecoming pep rally. On Friday, October 8, 1976, twelve jun- iors spent hours attempting to clear the gym of the confetti. During the year the junior officers met with senior class officers to discuss discipline problems throughout the school. Throughout the fall months juniors waited in anticipation of receiving their class rings. The class rings finally arrived in December, bringing smiles to many juniors’ faces. Early in the year the juniors began discussing the Junior-Senior Prom. There were money-making and decora- tion activities to be considered. Maga- zines were sold in order to raise money. The magazine sales campaign occurred during December. Various other finan- cial obligations affected magazine sales profits. Juniors chose the band “Chess” from Richmond for the Prom. The Jun- ior-Senior Prom was held on April 30, 1977. Thereafter, juniors, soon to be seniors, eagerly anticipated their final year at P.C.H.S. junior class officers Susan Pace, Kellie Owens, Yvonne Boyles and Goober Johnson ponder escap- ing hassles over Prom in Mr. Garfield Ramsey’s antique Plymouth.

(BELOW) Jenny Boult exec- utes a handstand on the beam her father built in their backyard. 186 Boult Performs on Beam When Jenny Boult became interested in gymnastics, her father responded by erecting a beam in their backyard dur- ing the summer of 19 74. Though lower than a beam used in competition, Jen- ny’s beam was regulation length and width. As she became more proficient, Jenny increased practice time, ulti- mately practicing one to one-and-one- half hours each day at home in addition to practicing two or more hours at school. When darkness became a prob- lem, Mr. Jim Boult added floodlights to his daughter’s outdoor gym. By ' 76 Jenny spent most of her time practicing “superior moves.” (Gym- nasts are scored according to their abil- ity to execute basic,” medium” and “superior” moves. Superior moves are most difficult.) Jenny’s superior moves included front walk overs, back tinsi- cas, back walk overs, hand stand com- binations to forward rolls, aerial walk- overs, back cartwheels, cartwheel dis- mounts, and back flip dismounts. Her practicing paid off. Even against Western District competitors, she scored two firsts and two fourths in beam competition, including fourth place in the District Tournament.

The juniors set a goal of $4,000 of which $1600 was to pay for the band and for decorations. Each student received a package con- taining several order forms and a cata- log of available magazines and sub- scription rates. Students who turned in money received tickets corresponding to the number of magazines they had sold. These tickets could be cashed in for prizes. The value of the prizes increased as the number of magazines sold increased. The sales continued through Decem- ber 7. though many juniors could not — or would not — sell. Relatives of juniors suddenly found themselves with an abundance of magazines. The magazine sale ended December 9 (delayed two days due to snow). How- ever. the phrase. “You wanna buy a magazine?” still echoed through the junior lockers. Four students were chosen as win- ners for selling the most magazines and renewals. The winners were Parris Anderson, who won first place with sixteen sales totaling over $100, James Hylton, second place, Goober Johnson, third place, and Sharon Horton, fourth place. Special prizes of their choice were awarded to these top winners. (BELOW) Student teacher Ms. Shelley Wolfe admires prizes won by top magazine subscrip- tion salesman Parris Anderson. Linda A.

Hickman Keith B. Hill Junior Cindy Bedsaul ' s solution to beating the high cost of clothing materi- alized from a hobby begun in 1972 when she was in the sixth grade. Disap- pointed with the choice of “ready made” garments, tall and slender Cindy began sewing under the guidance of her mother, Mrs. Almeta Bedsaul. Her nov- ice efforts were primarily non-clothing items. When she entered the eighth grade, Cindy took home economics. In home ec. Mrs. Diane Wallace d irected Cindy’s first efforts in sewing a garment. The result was a skirt with elastic at the waist. (Cindy: “I never wore it!”) That beginning was encouragement enough to prompt her to continue sewing, how- ever. Among her recent efforts, Cindy was proudest of a vest and slacks combo she made from burgundy corduroy. She was so pleased with the outfit that she made a plaid jacket to wear with it. Her best effort to date was a mint green floor-length gown with a coordinated print tunic top. Cindy Bedsaul models a rust jumpsuit she made. Valerie D. Hill Deborah L. Hoback Ricky L.

King Just ’Fore Christmas: Class Rings The year was half past; football sea- son was over; Homecoming had come and gone. Then came the time of year every Junior had eagerly awaited — the time to receive class rings. This was one of the greatest events students encoun- tered. Receiving class rings brought the satisfaction of being an upperclassman, and knowing that Juniors would soon be Seniors. The Star Ring Company visited the Juniors in October to take orders. Stu- dents were dazzled at the many styles from which they could choose: white gold, yellow gold, sterling silver, and quarter paladium were possibilities. They could also choose birthstones, black onyx, pearl, or rainbow-colored sets. This left Juniors with eager eyes and wondering minds. Juniors were led to believe that rings were coming before Christmas vaca- tion. When class rings had not arrived by December 15, many Juniors were angry, disappointed, and disgusted. On December 16, the announcement finally came: “Class rings have arrived. Juniors may bring the final payments and pick up their rings tomorrow, Friday, December 17.” (ABOVE) Rhonda Lane, Carolyn McMullin, Cay Walker, and Charlie Duncan compare those beau- tiful class rings. 192 Robin ).

Knowing they might lose their “wheels” (or their lives) rac- ing on 1-81, they decided to find a viable alternative. With some encouragement and assistance from Mike’s father, Mr. Archie Alderman, Mike and Chuck found a solution. The solution involved buying a 1956 Ford Victoria and converting it into a real race car. In addition to capital out- lay, Mike and Chuck made significant time investments. They removed the interior from the car, welded roll bars into place, and replaced the driver’s seat with a more practical custom seat. With assistance from Mr. Alderman and from Mr. Tommy Baker of Baker’s Garage in Draper, they installed heavier shocks; rear end gears; freeze plugs; and tuned the carburetor, replacing points, plugs, and water hoses. They drained and changed the oil, repacked the hubs, and replaced the brake shoes and master cylinder. Mr. Roger Caudill of P.C.H.S. auto body department let- tered the vehicle. Their car raced five times in 1976 at the Wythe Raceway. Mike, who shared ownership with Chuck, drove once. A more experienced driver, Mr. Shirley Cox, drove the other four times.

Hoping to crash the sex- barrier and become one of the first male members of the P.C.H.S. Cougar Band Rifle Corps, Goober spent at least an hour every day practicing aerial and two-hand spins, reversals, and parade commands. Most of the maneuvers were exten- sions of armed forces’ rifle techniques. Mr. Ray Johnson, Goober ' s father and a retired Army master sergeant with twenty-two years service, assisted his son in improving techniques and rou- tines. Mr. Johnson’s information ena- bled Goober to increase his skill and agility. In addition to encouragement and aid at home, Goober benefited from the advice of the flag corps sponsor Mr. Roy Maiden and from members of the 1976-1977 Rifle Corps. The most diffi- cult maneuver Goober attempted was the reversal. After five months of prac- tice, he finally executed a successful reversal. In December, he, David Wen- dell, and Curtis Rupe began preparing routines for tryouts held in spring. Mr. Raymond Johnson explains to his son Goober the proper way to present right shoulder arms.

Her racquet, however, was not noise, but a necessary part of her favorite sport, racquetball or paddle- ball. Almost every day in the summer and three afternoons per week during school months, Joette walked up the street to the Hensel Eckman Y.M.C.A to practice paddleball on the two-wall court. Sometimes she practiced alone, perfecting her serve or her backhand return. Other times she played against Jingles” White, Janet Webb, or Lynn Tolbert “just for fun.” Joette competed in her first tourna- ment in June 1976. Competitors had to win two out of three games to advance to the next round. (Paddleball games are scored like volleyball — a player earns points only on his own serves.) Joette won her first two games in each round and emerged as women ' s tourna- ment champion. The win was quite a victory for Joette who had begun playing in August 1975, when she bought her first racquet. Armed with a new racquet (a Christmas present from her parents), she was the top-seeded competitor in the 1977 tour- nament.

Sarah Whitman often spent such days, out- side in the cold and rain just so a friend would always be king.” Every day during spring, summer, and fall, Sarah bridled and saddled her three-gaited American Saddlebred gelding, Always Be King,” and put him through his paces. During the winter months, she exercised her mount two days per week. Each riding session required approximately an hour. In addition, King required daily grooming and bedding and twice-daily feeding all year. During the summer months, washing, clipping, and maintaining the tail set involved even more time. Sarah’s efforts were not without reward. In King’s first show season they competed four times. Sarah brought home fourth place ribbons from the Lebanon and New River Valley Horse Shows, third from the Buchanan Horse Show and first from the Bland County Horse Show. Sarah S. Whitman Linda L.

The candidates gave their speeches in the Little Theatre and after careful thought the class of 1979 chose the following people to lead them: Pres- ident — Greg Blankenship, Vice-Presi- dent — Pam Franklin, Secretary Trea- surer — Cindy Stafford, Reporter — Joy Agee. Sophomore officers directed class activities and were responsible for informing the members of the class of ' 79 about special in terests which per- tained exclusively, or primarily, to sophomores. They led the tenth graders in the spirit chain competition during the week of Homecoming and encouraged their classmates to contribute spirit to the festivities. They also encouraged members of the sophomore class to support sweetheart candidate Greg Blankenship. Unfortunately, Greg placed fourth, beating out faculty sweetheart candidate Bunchy Compton by a narrow margin.

Burton Sophomores Take Business Electives Sophomores often elected to take elective business courses. In Typing I sophomores studied basic keyboard configuration, letterwriting and term paper techniques; they also partici- pated in speed drills and learned proper punctuation and tabulation. Often they raced through, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” For sophomore Tammy Sexton, inter- est in clerical skills began in 1975 when she enrolled in the business exploration class. Therein she studied basic con- cepts in the areas of typing, accounting, and stenography. Tammy enjoyed the class and felt it helped her choose a career. In her sophomore year she enrolled in the general business class and in Typing I. In those classes she developed basic clerical skills and practiced. Her successes in the entry-level courses prompted her to enroll in higher-level courses. She was unable to decide an area of specialization but did limit her choices to Data Processing and Accounting or the Steno. block. After high school she intended to become an accountant or a secretary. Sophomore Tammy Sexton takes a timed writing in Mrs. Dottie Davies’ Typing I class. 204 Avery F. Byrd James P.

Goforth Cosmetology Teaches Newest Styles Becky Akers, sophomore cosmetology student, blow dries a patron’s hair in the cosmetology salon. Ten sophomores at P.C.H.S. enrolled in Cosmetology I under the instruction of Mrs. Brenda Baker. The first thing they learned was to become good pub- lic relations ambassadors. The first two weeks were spent in a mini charm course. They learned how to walk. sit. stand, and how to get along with others. After sophomores finished the grooming and personality development course, they went on to learn bacteriol- ogy, sterilization, and sanitation. These involved the classification of bacteria and how to prevent the s pread of bacte- ria in a salon. In the next two months sophomores learned shampooing and rinsing techni- ques along with scalp and hair treat- ments. Cleansing and reconditioning the hair and scalp were the major points of emphasis. Thereafter, sophomores learned the art of hair shaping (cutting) and hair styling. They started with the basic cut and by the end of the year were suc- cessfully cutting the ‘‘Nova and the ‘‘Wedge.’’ They practiced vertical, hori- zontal, and precision cutting in addition to the layered cut. Blow drying and roller setting were also taught. Sophomores studied facial features so they could create styles to fit the patrons’ facial features. Permanent waving, hair coloring, hair straightening, hair dressing, and thermal waving were the last things they learned as far as styling hair was concerned. 207 Jerry Simpkins, eyes on the road, completes behind-the-wheel phase of driver ' s education — a favorite course for sophomores.

Hall Sophomores Study Driver’s Education In the sophomore year P.C.H.S. stu- dents were eligible to earn their drivers’ licenses. “Wheels” signified mobility i and freedom, and even those sopho- mores who never passed a test in Eng- lish, math, history, or science fre- quently made A’s in classroom driver’s f education. The course was taught in a two-phase program through health and physical education classes. The first phase involved classroom instruction in traf- fic safety, speed limits, driver courtesy and driving skill. Instructors also tested students’ sight and reflexes. A learner’s permit was prerequisite to the behind-the-wheel phase of driv- er’s education. As soon as sophomores received their learners’ permits, they signed up for behind-the-wheel instruc- tion. Following directions from the instructor in the tower, sophomores drove carefully around the driving range. A few days later they were on the road, practicing to obtain the cov- eted driver’s license. 208 Shelia L. Hall Thomas B. Haller Carmen R. Hamilton Cecil J. Hamilton Penny Y. Hamilton Mark R.

Term Papers Require Research From Sophomores in Intermediate Grammar All sophomores who took intermedi- ate grammar were required to write a research paper. Groans greeted the announcement that term papers were upcoming, but sophomores soon stifled the groans and bent to their tasks. Top- ics for term papers included “Respira- tory Therapy,” “Arteriosclerosis,” “Sharks,” “Virginia Politics,” “The Titanic,” “MacArthur,” Meditation,” “Radiocarbon Dating,” “Abuse in Men- tal Institutions,” and “The Prison Sys- tem.” One week after term papers were assigned, sophomores handed in three bibliography cards and a thesis sen- tence. They then read and researched for several weeks, compiling informa- tion from which to write the paper. One week before the term paper due date, sophomores submitted at least fifty note cards. At the same time they submitted an outline with no more than five major headings. Requirements for the paper included a minimum of five typed or eight handwritten pages. (Excess pages were read but not graded.) Sophomores were also permit- ted to include illustrations and charts, but these were not to be counted as copy pages. The term paper required hours of boring reading and writing, but sophomores who completed the task felt confident they could prepare adequate research papers for science and social studies classes.

McMullin In drafting c lass, sophomore Patrick Callahan corrects an isometric drawing of a “holder block.” Sophomores Compose House Plans Sophomores who took drafting began their course of study with the one-view drawing. Such a drawing required the student to compose a picture of one plane of an object. They then began to work with the three-view drawing. Three-view draw- ings were depictions of the front, right side and top of an object. A slightly more difficulty variation of the three- view drawing was the three-view draw- ing with dimensions added. These drawings were simply three-view drawings with measurements added. Isometric drawings presented a view ' of the object turned thirty degrees from horizontal. In an isometric drawing, the object lay in such a position that all sides were visible from one drawing. As the students became more proficient with isometric drawings, dimensions were added. The final phase of the drafting class involved architectural drawings. Stu- dents produced drawings of house floor plans. Later, they drew house exteriors in three views. 212 jimmy I. McPeak Lisa J. Manning Daniel J. Manuel Clifton D. Marshall Pearl M.

The instructor was Mr. Jim Barr, who offered the class a three-year, three- hour-per-day block. The students studied the individual parts of electronics. Resistance, current, and voltage were just a few of the many basics they studied. In class, they worked on labs, lectures, and individ- ual work; they also studied the different circuits. Several of the students ordered kits for strobe lights, radios, digital clocks, or for any other electrical item, with their own money. For the Science Fair, the three classes put together a light color organ. There were nine stations in class. At each station there were two students. The students did their lab work at their stations. The stations consisted of an AC and DC power supply, a multime- ter, a sinewave scope, a voltmeter, and ohmmeter, and an ammeter.

Taylor Horticulture Challenges Sophomores In tenth grade horticulture or horti- culture III, students learned many of the basic principles of growing plants. They began by learning how to keep house plants healthy. Basic skills in house plant care include how to repot, transplant, and how to get new plant cuttings. All students were assigned a special job each day. They also had to learn botanical (real) names of house plants each week. Many of the topics taught were the study of plants such as chrysanthe- m ums, the study of soil compositions, diseases and insects that affect house plants, and bedding and potting of plants. Having studied the above topics, sophomore horticulture students knew how to take care of house plants. They then began working in the greenhouse putting their knowledge to practical application. Donna Akers and Cliff Jones repot plants on the mist bench in the greenhouse. 217 Steve R. Taylor Jackie L. Thacker Cynthia L. Thomas Glenda R. Thomas Lorraine T. Thompson Michael L.

Biology Classes Eat Well Tenth grade advanced biology stu- dents studied under the “conceptual schemes” approach. Mr. Bob McGinley and Mr. Tom Howerton de-emphasized memorizing facts, directing their stu- dents to develop attitudes and concepts conducive to problem solving. Sopho- mores also sought to determine the per- formances and functions of life forms. The conceptual approach involved stu- dent participation. Activities for sophomore biology stu- dents included an International Foods Day. On I.F. Day students brought to biology class exotic or unusual foods or culinary equipment. The menu ranged from Quiche Lorraine to frog legs, from venison steaks to stewed crayfish, or to Oriental dishes prepared in a wok. The Yogurt lab, another food activity, ena- bled students to make yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and buttermilk. A group of connoisseurs tasted the prod- ucts and chose winners in each divi- sion. In non-food-producing activities sophomores studied population density by capturing grasshoppers. They marked the insects and released them. Two or three days later they collected specimens from the same area and ana- lyzed their results using the Lincoln- Peterson Index Method. Many insect- wary sophomores overcame their fears and eagerly sought grasshoppers in the capture area. Dissection offered sophomores an inside look at many organisms. They dissected earthworms, grasshoppers, crayfish, frogs, and fetal pigs. In advanced biology class, sophomores Robin Hylton and Barbara Lewis meticulously dissect an earthworm S! . v . . „ r I Gregory W. Wright Teresa L. Wright William C. Yates Kimberley O.

Therefore, no officers were needed to conduct fresh- man business which was non-existent. There were, however, school policy- making decisions in which freshmen had a vested interest. When upperclass officers attended student cooperative association executive committee meet- ings, freshmen were not denied repre- sentation. Tammy Friend, president of the 1975- 1976 student cooperative association at Pulaski Middle School, and Tammy Dowdy, who held the same office at Dublin Middle School, became spokes- persons for the Class of 1980. Friend and Dowdy became full-fledged mem- bers of the S.C.A. executive council and helped decide procedures for the beauty pageant, Homecoming, and the Winter Formal. They also assisted other students in revising the S.C.A. Constitu- tion. Tammy Friend and Tammy Dowdy listen to the candidates for S.C.A. Parliamentarian. Johnny M. Adams Rhonda G. Adams Douglas W.

Jim Gloster, John Perry Star in T heatre Production Freshman Jim Gloster listens intently as a cast member performs “The Con- queror Worm.” Ninth graders often complained that few extra-curricular activities offered them an opportunity to participate. Par- tially to accommodate freshmen and partially to earn money for the Debate Forensics Club (which he sponsored), Mr. John Swope decided to direct a fall readers’ theatre production. The cast presented horror (and simi- lar) tales including William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” “The Whole Town is Sleeping” by Ray Bradbury, “The Conqueror Worm” by Edgar A. Poe, Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” an excerpt from The Hal- loween Tree by Bradbury, and an anon- ymous Scottish prayer. They staged their show December 9 and 11. Freshmen who starred in the produc- tion were Jim Gloster and John Perry. They performed a number of roles (as did all cast members) and attempted to communicate character differences only through voice modulations. Maria L. Crigger Cherron L. Crisp Timothy S.

Dobbins Freshmen Take Earth Science Mrs. Elrica Graham stated her teach- ing philosophy in ninth grade earth sci- ence as an attempt to “Have the student zero in on himself in a time slot on a remarkable planet in an incredible uni- verse.” In other words, she attempted to make her students see the world in which they lived. Freshmen studied earth science through a “cycles in spheres” concept. Units included concentrations on geol- ogy, astronomy, oceanography and meteorology. In geology the lithosphere was the point of study. Earthy science students examined rocks, soil and min- erals. They took field trips to various sites in the county comparing the com- positions of soils on mountains to those in the valleys. They also studied crystal designs and grew their own crystals. Study of the hydrosphere (oceanog- raphy) and of the atmosphere (astron- omy and meteorology) completed the cycle. In earth science, students were constantly exposed to the idea that all aspects of the universe are interrelated in the greatest cycle of all. Putting some of the theoretical study to practical use, freshmen developed the form of the crystal (and other natu- rally occurring geometric designs) and made decorations for the G-Pod Christ- mas tree. They also incorporated these designs into lamp bases and paper weights. Glenn Pratt and George Bouras examine a specimen of quartz as a part of their earth science class ' s study of the lithosphere. 224 Dina A. Donnelly Debbie J. Dowdy Tammy S. Dowdy Douglas R.

Rookie Band On August 8 the freshman band mem- bers went to band camp for the first time. At the Athens, West Virginia, Concord College campus they had to rise, eat breakfast and be on the field at exactly 8:00 A.M. for marching practice. Their drill instructor was Mr. Don Griffin who instructed them in a new style of march- ing. After band camp, the marching band held Tuesday night practices to reinforce what they had learned at band camp. These practices lasted from 6:00 to about 8:30. With the return of Eastern Standard time, Tuesday night practices ceased. Since the band still needed the practices, they began practicing during fourth period at school. Soon enough, football season opened, and the band began performing at half- time. The freshmen were scared at the first performance in front of a crowd. Still continuing fourth period practices, the band began striving for a “1” at the Chilhowie marching competition. Soon enough September 25 arrived and fresh- men (and other band members) marched two miles in the 86° weather. After hours of waiting, the band found out that they had received a “1” — a superior rating. Excited freshmen screamed, yelled, cried, and hugged each other. The next marching competition was at Wake Forest. It snowed on November 12; the band left for Wake Forest marching competition on November 13. North Caro- linians were amazed to see snow on the P.C.H.S. buses. In the annual Pulaski Christmas Parade, freshmen joined upperclassmen marching from King Coal and Wood Yard to the Heck’s shopping center. They were crushed when they received a third place. 227 James D. Jeffreys George A. Jennings Cathy D. Johnson David A. Johnson Mary B. Johnson Thomas L. Johnson Clayton E. Jones Donna S.

These ninth grad- ers studied geography from a world culture standpoint. They pondered these cultures attempting to discover how environments shaped the men who occupied them. They examined survival tactics employed by men in Africa and compared these tactics to those used by Asians and Europeans. Additionally, world geography students kept up with current events from the culture areas they studied. Student performances included con- tracts. Meeting contract requirements, students prepared “diaries” written as though P.C.H.S. students were indige- nous to the culture areas studied. They also familiarized themselves with the art and music of various culture areas by taping representative music and by selecting pictures of the paintings, drama, and sculptures from those areas. Further activities permitted P.C.H.S. students to interview foreign persons living in the area. Exchange students from Radford College visited world geography classes bringing samples of clothing, food and or language. Also, P.C.H.S. students corresponded with pen pals from other culture areas.

McDaniel 229 Freshmen began their English course of study with a two-week library unit. After a brief orientation period, they began research to prepare for the sec- ond unit — speech. In the process of writing their speeches, they compiled note cards from a minimum of three sources, and composed an interrogative thesis. Back in the classroom, nervous freshmen delivered their speeches to classmates. Their next unit was a four-week reading course. The primary vehicle through which they attempted to improve reading rate and comprehen- sion was the S.R.A. programmed read- ing kit. After a diagnostic test, students read selections, marked their own answers to comprehension questions, and moved to a higher level. At the con- clusion of the unit they took post tests. Most of the students improved their scores. The short story unit enabled fresh- men to learn short story terminology and characteristics and to read repre- sentative short stories. They studied plot, setting, characterization, and theme. Vocabulary and note taking skills studies completed the unit. Freshmen then studied poetry by writing original poems. In a highly inductive approach they wrote exam- ples of poetic figures of speech, then learned to recognize the figure of speech in other poetry. They concluded the unit compiling a poetry notebook of five original poems, four published poems, and a definition (in their own terms) of poetry. Todd W. McDaniel James K. McGrady Rhonda K.

World of Communication Open to Freshmen Freshmen in the pre-vocational World of Communications class stud- ied the role of communications in a technological society. Such study ena- bled freshmen to make informed occu- pational choices and prepared them for advanced training in communications in technical or vocational schools. Activities in the class were designed to develop students’ problem-solving and creative abilities, and to inform them of processes and products of the commu- nication industry. Specifically, freshmen in the World of Communications studied the devel- opment of the telephone, radio, radar, television, offset and electrostatic print- ing and photography. Putting their knowledge to practical use, students silkscreen printed their own stationery, note pads, Christmas cards, t-shirts and bumper stickers. In the photography unit, they took portraits, developing, printing and enlarging their own shots. They also worked with still-life photography and used letterpress and offset printing presses to produce letterheads. Drafting exercises included three types of drawings. Freshmen produced “picture views” of objects, develop- ment drawings, and three-view draw- ings. Finally, electronics projects ena- bled them to produce a simple elec- tronic project. The siren was one such project. 233 Kenneth W. Slaughter Donna M. Smith Frank E. Smith Jennifer L. Smith Jonathan G. Smith Kenneth C. Smith Lora A. Smith Nena R. Smith Patty S. Smith Roger L.

Stu- dents in the ninth grade program alter- nately participated in classroom health and in physical activities. The health aspect consisted mainly of general health education, as well as consumer awareness. Open class dis- cussion focused on current teenage health problems. Students also took part in activities and reported on vari- ous subjects. Most of the freshmen enjoyed the program and thought it very worthwhile. In the physical education aspect, freshmen enjoyed many new activities. Dancing, basketball, and gymnastics were just a few of these. Also the Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” which consisted of assuming a rowing position on the floor and singing in rhythm. Freshmen learned and practiced new P.E. skills. These skills helped the students develop coordination, agility, and endurance. 234 Janice V. Stigger Rosa L. Stone Gwendolyn M. Stout Jeffrey A. Stout Daryel L. Stump Gina S. Sullivan Carol R.

(STANDING) Jack Preston and Chris Tickle perform as toys in the Christmas concert. Freshmen Sing in “Toyland” Concert Music presented a special problem for freshmen. In addition to learning the right notes and pitches (which all choir members had to do), freshmen had to cope with their changing voices. Freshman girls’ voices improved slowly throughout the year. Boys, however, often began choir singing tenor but moved to the bass section before the end of the year. A major tactical problem for fresh- men involved learning to blend their voices with those of other choir mem- bers. Only after they successfully learned to blend did the choir attain a balanced sound. For those freshmen who made Con- cert Choir (there were twelve), fitting for a jacket required some considera- tion. After deciding which jacket most nearly fit, freshmen lenghthened hems or took in seams. The result was a neatly attired choir. In the Christmas concert freshmen assumed unique roles. When Santa Claus (senior Carol Forbes) hoisted “himself” onto the stage, freshmen attired in little kid costumes climbed onto Santa’s lap and sang various Christmas tunes. 238 SPORTS Pep Club Cheerleaders (Fall) Football Basketball (Girls) Volleyball Cheerleaders (Winter) Basketball (Boys) Wrestling Gymnastics Hunting and Fishing Track (Boys) Baseball Golf Tennis (Boys) Tennis (Girls) Track (Girls) SPORTS 240 242 244 250 252 254 256 260 264 270 272 276 280 282 284 286 (FRONT ROW) Renee Callahan, Donna Hardy, Trina Painter, Dee Ann Holmes, Tommy Dalton, Carlene Ritter, Tommy Duncan.

OFFICERS — Carolyn McMullin — President, Mrs. Hillman — Sponsor, Rosa Williamson — Vice President, Constance Patterson — Secretary, Crystal Crisp — Reporter. The largest pep club in the history of Pulaski County High School should have the most spirited student body backing it, and it did. The Pulaski County High School Pep Club had a membership of over two hundred boys and girls from all grade levels. They were under the leadership of sponsor Mrs, Jeanne Hillman. Pep Club members began their work during the summer, selling ads for the fall football programs. They began ordering pom-poms and “Cougar pride” buttons to be sold for the pep rallies. They sponsored dress-up days and gave candy to persons who partici- pated. The members earned points by going to games and participating in the cheer- ing, by making signs on locker stickers, by making spirit rings, by helping dur- ing Homecoming Week. The Pep Club sponsored a “Pop the Colonels” float during the Homecoming pep rally and did a skit imitating the football team. The Pep Club proudly represented their school with the pep needed to fill the school. (FRONT ROW) Beth Holt, Candy Painter.

Fall Season Cheerleaders Learn Stunts After weeks of fretful practice, learn- ing new cheers and chants and perfect- ing stunts and jumps, the fall varsity and J.V. cheerleaders were at last ready for the first game of the 1976 Cougar football season. Eager to see that the team kept up the good work, the cheer- leaders kept the players well supplied with locker stickers, suckers, blow- pops and hamburgers. The cheerlead- ers worked hard in anticipation of the Homecoming game; and although the football team suffered a loss, it was a victory in spirit for the entire school. Sadly, the football season came to a close. Only a small crowd of Cougar fans braved the bitter cold to hear the cheerleaders lead the school song as the 1976 Cougar football team walked off the field for the last time. Wrestling season also sped by for the fall varsity and J.V. cheerleaders. At the end of the year they all agreed, “It went too fast!” (FRONT ROW) Debbie Painter, (SECOND ROW) Beth Holt, Candy Painter, (THIRD ROW) M Rhodora Burton, Lynda Morehead, Jenni Boult, (BACK ROW) Marsha Dula, Susan Saunders, Dawn Burkes, Gwen King.

For many football players a weight loss occurred during the first few days, but after the team adjusted to the rigorous practice procedures, many experienced weight gains. On September 3 the Cougars opened the season against Laurel Park High School. They defeated Laurel Park and their next opponent, Glenvar High School. Two wins boosted Cougar foot- ball spirit to a peak, and players and fans bent to the task of compiling the best record to date at P.C.H.S. On September 17 the Cougars met Radford, a former arch rival of both Dublin and Pulaski High Schools, at the Radford High Stadium. The Cougars played hard, but lost a heart-breaker to the Bobcats. The following week the Cougars bounced back defeating Cave Spring of Roanoke. A problem with the Cave Spring clock stretched Cougar players’ (and fans’) nerves to the limit in the fourth period of play. While the team waited impatiently on-field, the Cave Spring timer worked more than five minutes resetting the clock. ship, Mark Anderson, Prince Banks, Brent Thompson, Bill Grinstead, Kevin Sidwell, Mark Hearn.

I 245 Cougars Improve Record in ’76 The Cougars invaded Eagles’ terri- tory in Franklin County near Rocky Mount, Virginia, on October 1. In a pelt- ing rain, the Cougars fought up and down a slippery field while a fired up Franklin County team launched a spir- ited offensive. It was Homecoming in Franklin County, and the Eagles gained a victory. The loss left the Cougars dejected, and a loss to William Fleming the fol- lowing week did nothing to improve their spirit. The October 15 game involved traveling to Lord Botetourt High School. Northside High School, winner of the Roanoke Valley District, was the next Cougar opponent (Octo- ber 22). Northside, undefeated in dis- trict competition, added the Cougars to their string of victories. The last two P.C.H.S. games, played in bitterly cold weather, were against Roanoke Catho- lic High School and Patrick Henry High School, both of Roanoke.

Cagers Rip Roanoke Catholic Freshman and J.V. football teams played similar schedules. In contests with opponents from Cave Spring, Northside, Andrew Lewis, Glenvar, and other schools, the freshmen compiled a five and two record. The J.V. record was three and two. Both programs served as feeder teams to the varsity football program. During the first few practices, ninth grade and J.V.- basketball players learned drills and skills. The J.V. prac- ticed every day from 3:10 until 5:30. Later practices involved scrimmages with the varsity. The rookies also prac- ticed shooting foul shots and estab- lished the offense and defense they planned to use during the season. The J.V. team played twenty games. A highlight of the season came in the Northside game played in Roanoke. In an extremely close game, the J.V. lost by only five points. Victories against Bramwell, Big Creek, and Roanoke Catholic were pleasant experiences for the J.V. players. The ninth grade team played seven games in a season marred by bad weather. Repeatedly, snow and low temperatures forced postponement. The freshman team did manage, how- ever, to win four games. Mr. Stan Duncan is the J.V. basketball coach. Doug Dunavant, Hal Ward, Jack Preston, Randy Olverson, Eddie Morrison, Chuck Pound, Mark O ' Dell, Daniel Brown are members of the J.V. basketball team.

A conditioning pro- gram incorporating technical skills for basketball was the order for early sea- son. The Cougar girls dropped the season opener to William Fleming. The regular season scheduled each team in the dis- trict to play every other district team at home and away. Led by senior co-cap- tains Brenda Allen and Kathy Neblett, the Cougar girls were soon to taste vic- tory. They thrilled P.C.H.S. fans with a victory over Franklin County in the eighth game of the season. The score was 52-46, and sophomore Tina Phillips paced the team with 25 points. In the first girls’ district tournament, the P.C.H.S. team faced a tall, strong Northside team in the Cave Spring gym. The final score was Northside 46- P.C.H.S. 31. The Cougar girls finished the season in fifth place. Kathy Neblett was elected most valuable player by her team.

The team put forth great effort to have a successful season, although they did not have one. The team improved tremendously since last year and in time they will have a winning season. Sherry Fisher, sophomore, was named to the Roanoke Valley All-Dis- trict second team. The team chose her as M.V.P. at the end of the season. Three seniors led the team: Mindy Mabry, Troy Setzler, and Neshia O ' Dell. The three of them tried very hard to make the team a success. The team was pleased with the sup- port they received from fans and hoped it would continue.

The J.V. and Varsity winter cheerleading squads boosted the school spirit in various ways, such as performing in pep rallies and having the familiar hat and crazy socks days.” The cheerleaders were also responsible for displaying good sportsmanship at all times and for calming the spectators under such circumstances as ba d calls by the referees. They had the fun-filled task of rushing onto the floor and per- forming cheers in front of 2000 Cougar fans. The twelve rah-rahs” encour- aged the crowd to ‘‘raise the roof,” which in many cases they appeared to do, especially against William Fleming and Northside. One of the most exciting times of the year occurred during the week of July 21-24, when both cheering squads attended camp at Lynchburg College. At camp both squads received excellent and superior ratings. The girls worked hard learning new cheers and pom-pom routines and perfecting old cheers. The cheerleading squads were awarded the spirit megaphone every day and were allowed to bring it home to the “Cougar Den.” The Var- sity squad also had the honor of receiving the coveted “Most Out- standing Squad” award, which was an award voted upon by all of the cheering squads participating in t he four-day affair. The Varsity and J.V. squads made locker stickers, packed lunches, and provided treats for the players several times during the season. They also held “mini-pep rallies” for the team on days of away games to wish them good luck and to encour- age the “Cougar Machine” to roll on to victory.

Led by 6 ' 9 Craig Lester, for- wards Mark Gray and Jamie Sypniew- ski, and guards Timmy Venable and Gary Wiley, the Cougars won their own “Christmas Holiday Classic” for the third straight year. At one point they ran off seven straight wins that pro- pelled them into first place with just a week left in the season. The Cougars started with a bang by winning two straight games in their own Tip-Off Tournament. Roanoke Catholic was the victim in the first game by a 63-47 romp in a matchup that had been considered even. In the sec- ond game against Tazewell, the Cou- gars broke their own school record with an 87-62 thrashing of the Bulldogs. All five starters plus sixth-man Roy Flynn scored in double digits. The Cougars then met their toughest competition of the season in Tennessee High of Bristol. PC suffered two successive losses to the Vikings by scores of 82-61 and 64-54, the latter being at home. From this point on, the weather played havoc with the Cougars’ schedule, but they did get to play in their own Christmas tourney. The first night saw Pulaski County come from behind for a 67-53 victory over Gate City while Roanoke Catholic defeated George Wythe 60-49. Again the Cougars were matched against Catholic with revenge set in the minds of the Celtics, but that thought was only a dream as the Cougars raced to another easy 70-54 victory. The Cougars received their third straight champion- ship trophy while Jamie Sypniewski received the “Most Valuable Player” award. (ABOVE LEFT) Cougar Mark Gray shoots against Cave Spring defenders.

The Cougars played one of their best games of the season when they blew out Patrick Henry 60-51 at home. Gary Wiley hit a career high 26 points to help wipe out the Patriots. The next night, P.C. traveled to Northside and whipped the Vikings 62-56 with Timmy Venable playing his best game ever while scor- ing 14 points. Mark Gray turned in his best game of the season by scoring 19 points in the Cougar’s next win over Franklin County 66-48. The Cougars became the district ' s number one team after a 58-38 slaughter of Cave Spring, but fell back into a tie after losing their next game to William Fleming 52-48. Venable severely sprained his ankle in the loss to the Colonels causing him to miss the rest of the season. However, the win total climbed to fourteen with a victory over Big Creek 57-52. Pulaski County lost their last two games by a 55-52 score to Northside and 68-52 to Patrick Henry. Next came the Roanoke Valley Dis- trict Tournament at the Salem-Roanoke Valley Civic Center. The Cougars were paired against Franklin County in the quarterfinals and came out victorious 71-59. In a double overtime effort, the Colonels of William Fleming finally beat the Cougars in the semifinals. (TOP) Gary Wiley (20) shoots over Patriclfl Henry’s Kevin Skelly.

Steve Sutphin struggles with Heritage oppo- nent. The Cougar matmen started prac- tice the first of November. They ran the walls starting with thirty seconds and worked their way by five second intervals to a five-second burst. Along with practice, they learned the skills necessary to face a difficult season. Perhaps the most difficult goal for any of the wrestlers was getting down to the desired weight. This meant working out with sweats” and maybe going without food or drink for a time. Some wrestlers reached their weight just before the weigh-in for the match. The purpose of the ordeal of starv- ing and running to get into shape was a match lasting only six minutes — three two-minute periods. During the match, no one could help a matman; there were no replacements. The only time-outs were between periods or when a wrestler was injured or out-of-bounds.

The season started on a dim note as the Cougars were defeated by Grundy. It brightened, however, as the Cougars defeated Heritage High School. Unfor- tunately, the matmen’s only other vic- tory was over Franklin County. Although the rest of the matches were defeats, the wrestlers did move extremely well during some matches. One goal of wrestlers was to make it to the regional competition. To reach regionals, one had to place first through fourth in the district. Five Cougars accomplished this great task: George Logan, 98 lb. class; Bobby Lorton, 105 lb. class; Homer Coble, 112 lbs. class; Ernie Fortner, 138 lb. class; and Willie Morris, 155 lb. class. Placing first through fourth in the region qualified one for state competition. Bobby Lorton, one of the Cougar’s best wrestlers, barely missed the oppor- tunity of going to state. Although the Cougar’s season produced a lower record than they desired, matmen improved. One bright note was fresh- man George Logan’s qualifying for region. He should be a great benefit to the team in the seasons to come. i Homer Coble poses for his official portrait. Dale Hall sets up in a classic wrestler ' s stance. P.C. Gymnasts Whip Heritage, Others Gymnastics is a sport in which win- ning is based on a team spirit that pro- vides the individual with the desire to win. The coaching of Miss Susan Pratt and Mrs. Louisa Chrisley, and the lead- ership of co-captains Jenni Boult and Candy Painter led the Pulaski County Cougar Gymnastics team to the number 1 spot in the Roanoke Valley District. January 17, the Cougar gymnasts traveled to Cave Spring to lose the only meet they lost all season. The 156.95 to 146.10 point spread made the girls work even harder toward their goal of a Roa- noke Valley District Championship. The Cougar gymnasts were hot on the trail January 25, when they out- scored the William Fleming Colonels 142.7 to 96.6. January 9, the Cougars hosted Franklin County and Heritage High Schools in a tri-meet. Franklin County placed third with a score of 97.8; Herit- age, second, with a score of 125.5; and the Cougar girls placed first with a score of 151.2.

Jenni Boult amazed the Northside audience on February 2 with her best performance of the season. One of the most outstanding gymnasts ever to compete for Pulaski County High School, she earned a first place in every event and led the way to the 154.55 points the Cougar gymnasts scored against Northside’s 117.5 points. 147.8 was the score of the last Cougar gymnastics meet on February 9 against Patrick Henry. The visiting Patriots scored 105.5 points. The Cougars domi- nated the beam and bars by taking all five places. The district gymnastics meet earned Jenni Boult a first place on the beam, second place in the all-around competi- tion and in vaulting, and third places on the bars and in the floor competition. Candy Painter placed third on the vault. Adlyn Hicks placed fourth on the bars and Erin Skewes placed fifth. Von Beamer placed third on beam and Marian Anderson placed fourth. February 18 and 19, 1977, proved to be the happiest days of the Pulaski County High School Gymnastic Team’s history. The goal was finally reached when Cougar gymnasts accepted the Roanoke Valley District Championship trophy. 267 Six Cougar Gymnasts Qualify (TOP LEFT) Jenni Boult and Adlyn Hicks react to winning district.

Any girl who placed first through fifth place in District was automatically qualified to compete in Regional. Those members of the Pulaski County High Team who qualified for Regionals were Jenni Boult, Marian Anderson, Von Beamer, Adlyn Hicks, Candy Painter, and Erin Skewes. For the week between District and Regional competition, little else occupied their minds. For the rest of the team, moral support and good wishes were primary considerations. In the Regional Tournament held at Cave Spring, disappointment was the rule. Facing strong competition from E.C. Glass High School of Lynchburg, which edged out Garfield High School of Manassas, the Cougars placed only Jenni Boult in bars and Candy Painter in vault. Neither placed for state com- petition. Garfield took the all-around competition, but E.C. Glass won three major events. Despite that fact, the Cougar gymnasts felt a strong sense of accomplishment following their excel- lent showing in district.

Some members participated in a three-day backpacking trip to Gatewood Park in December at the start of Christmas vacation. A January overnight outing and a week-long hike on the Appalachian Trail had to be can- celed due to the weather and the loss of spring vacation. Members enjoyed a second backpacking trip at Camp Pow- hatan in March and a two-day trout fishing trip in April. A white-water canoe expedition in May topped off this year’s activities. The group set out on a trip on the New River near Max Meadows, camped overnight about two hours down- stream, and continued the next day. The excursion ended at the bridge on New River near Sylvatus. The Hunting and Fishing Club hoped that youths brought together under var- ied circumstances would learn from each other to accept responsibilities and share experiences they might not otherwise encounter.

For some Cougar harriers, this meant coming to school very early every day for a practice run down Slaughterhouse Road. For others it meant after school practices only in the spring. The cross-country team members practiced and competed in the fall. Dis- trict and non-district meets provided competition for the harriers. The high- light of the season came when young Richard Noel won third place in the district. Though they took no specific places, named to the All-District team were senior Sammy Moore, sopho- mores Eddie Sayers and John Huddle, in addition to Noel.

In the 1,000 yard run Tim Bowman took second place. Sammy Moore won the one-mile run; P.C.H.S. harrier Eddie Sayers took third place. Robbie Camp- bell also scored a third place for Pulaski County in pole vault. The spring outdoor track season began after the last yearbook deadline.

Sophomore Mary Williams set a personal goal of throwing the shot over 40 feet. Cougar Brenda Allen, who placed fourth in discus in the ’76 state tournament with a throw of 109 ' 10 , provided leadership in throwing events. Juniors Leila Smith and Alice Walsh worked to lower their time to below a minute in the 440.

Nine Coach Gary Lester and pitchers Randy Olverson, Steve Jenkins, Tim Jones, Randy Cox. J.V. Baseball candidates practiced under less-than-ideal circumstances at the P.C.H.S. baseball field. Not only was the field unfinished, but also debris from construction of the nearby field- house posed problems. Nevertheless, Coach Gary Lester and his team members worked to acquire and polish the skills necessary for a successful baseball season. Managers Chuck Phillips and Bruce Weatherman added their efforts to keep the Cougar J.V. Baseball team operating smoothly. J.V.

The baseball team faced the ' 77 sea- son optimistically. Many of the starting nine were experienced players — some returning from last year’s squad while others played J.V. ball last year. Start- ing for the Cougars were catcher Kevin Sidwell, basemen Terry Tolbert (1st), Gary Flinchum (2nd), and David Har- rell (3rd), shortstop Doug Dunavant, and outfielders Billy Hale (left), Vance Lane (center) and Tim Viers (right). The Cougars anticipated pitching from several players. These were Tim Hurst, Wayne King, Jon Jorgensen, Vance Lane, Terry Jones, Terry Tolbert, and Gary Proco. The Cougar nine sold season tickets during the latter part of basketball sea- son. Fans who purchased season tickets were entitled to see ten home games for two dollars (students for one dollar). Coaches Wally Flinchum and Mike Rolen also led their team through four- teen away games. Billy Hale snags a long fly in left field during a scrimmage at Calfee Park.

TENNIS TEAM — Shaun Riffey, Jeff Miles, Ian Barker, and Larry Thomas are promising young Cougar netmen. Here they pose before a March practice match. The 1977 Cougar Boys’ Tennis Team had a very successful season. Randy Gunn, John Haughney, Rick O’Dell, and Charlie Maxwell were all returning let- termen. Newcomers to the starting lineup were Rocky Cullop, Mark Odell, and Barry Moore. In the early matches this spring, the Cougars went up against some of the better teams in southwest- ern Virginia, including Radford, Chris- tiansburg and Virginia High Schools. In Roanoke Valley District action the Cougars continued to be a top con- tender for the title. Other team mem- bers for the Cougars included: Rick Eaton, Tom Vass, Jeff Miles, Ricky Showalter, Larry Thomas, Ian Barker, and Shaun Riffev.

Senior Kathy Neblett, the number 1 player for P.C.H.S. for three years, paced the team. Kathy entered her last year of competition with a 20-2 record. She was also captain of the ’77 team. Christi Hyde, a junior and consistent baseline player, filled the second slot. During her first two years she had compiled an 11- 2 record. Sophomore Tina Phillips brought strong offensive abilities to the Cougars, while junior Kellie Owens played good defense and was good at baseline play. Junior Janet Webb offered good basic offensive moves, and sophomore Sue Spivey was an extremely aggressive net player. Senior Vann Covey was the other experienced member of the girls’ tennis team. Vann was a steady influence. With basically a young team, the Cougar girls confi- dently faced the 1977 season. Tennis season begins as the last deadline of the yearbook is prepared for publication.

Other returning lettermen, Mike Waller and Tom Hal- ler, assisted the co-captains. For Spraker and Boadwine, 1977 marked their fourth season as starters and let- termen. Non-lettermen who returned included Ernie Fortner, Brian Stovall, Jimmy Smith and Willis Rimmer. The golf team also welcomed senior new- comers Jamie Sypniewski, Billy Byrd, Bryan Kelly, and Eddie Hicks; junior Brad Opincar; and freshmen Chuck Tickle, Stanley Edwards, Richard Miller, and Patrick Simpson. The golf team opened the season aiming for the district title. The golf team practiced and played their home matches at Thornspring Golf Club, Pulaski Coun- ty’s 18 hole course. Coach Butch White directed the efforts of the Cougars. Mike Boadwine exhibits proper follow-through after teeing off.

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho ' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

Only freshmen and transfer students wandered lost among the maze of locker banks and prome- nades. Other members of the P.C.H.S. family concentrated upon learning or winning. They learned that outside influences definitely affected school when snow and freezing weather closed the doors to Pulaski County’s educational facili- ties. They also learned the P.C.H.S. activities influenced “the outside” when county residents joined the Cou- gar Band in raising $17,000 for a band trip to Florida. Nor was their learning restricted to county affairs. It was a big year politically. Peanut farmer Jimmy Carter defeated Republican incumbent Gerald Ford and became the thirty- ninth President of the U.S. Elizabeth Ray and Congressman Wayne Hayes created scandal on Capitol Hill. P.C.H.S. students and U.S. citizens were sobered by the execution of Gary Gilmore. On the international scene, Mao Tse Tung died and unrest marred Uganda, Rhodesia, the Panama Canal, and parts of South America. Each event influenced the pattern of life at P.C.H.S. Slowly, the threads strengthened and became more orderly. (TOP) Snowbanks left from a January storm flank the fine arts entrance of Pulaski County High.

The long-sought debate class materialized in the English department, math added calculus, social studies merged sociol- ogy and economics, and science devel- oped advanced biology for 1977-78. Secured within routines, P.C.H.S. students dared greater challenges. The P.C. Players became the first group to represent the Cougars at the national level when “The Brick and the Rose” won an invitation to the American The- atre Association in Chicago. Chris Walker was named best actor and Trionne Hilliard best actress at the interstate S.E.T.C. in Norfolk. The Science Club won the coveted E.C.L. Miller Award — the top honor for Virginia science clubs. National and international events provided back- ground for P.C.H.S. accomplishments. The American Bicentennial, after years of planning and preliminary activities, literally exploded in the greatest Fourth of July extravaganza ever. Kianoosh Abkolmaleki Samani came to P.C.H.S. from Iran, Barbara Walters moved to A.B.C., and became the high- est paid female news commentator with a salary of one million dollars. E.R.A. advocates were dejected by defeat of their amendment in Virginia and later in the nation. President Carter’s pardon of draft evaders rocked the nation with controversy. Some people thought the president was too liberal — others, too conservative. (TOP LEFT) While his students research, Mr. Bob Hosp discusses make-up days with librarian Mrs. Elinor Morgan.

All-Regional Basketball Team Victories brightened our tapestry with burgundy and gold. The Cougar Basketball Team made the District tour- nament, and Craig Lester was named to the All-Regional Team. The Girls’ Gym- nastics Team reached a long sought goal and won the District Champion- ship! Again, national and international fig- ures provided models. Athletic supers- tars won attention at P.C.H.S. The Oak- land Raiders won Superbowl XI, the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series, the Boston Celtics won the N.B.A. championship. Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg, Chris Evert, and Evonne Goolagong remained dominant tennis figures. The U.S. team took the Olympic gold medal in basketball while Jamie Sypniewski was named M.V.P. in the Christmas tourney at P.C.H.S. Bruce Jenner and Dorothy Hamill won Olym- pic gold medals in decathalon and fig- ure skating, respectively. Athletics continued to dominate the pattern of P.C.H.S. and U.S. life. Through their efforts, athletes added vitality and richness to the tapestry that was Pulaski County High School.

Perhaps no other medium reached as many P.C.H.S. stu- dents as did music. Lynette Morris won membership in All-Virginia Chorus in 1977, and the Concert Choir recorded their version of the MacDonald’s theme song and sent it to competition. Pulaski County students rocked and boogied to their favorite sounds. The number 1 song in ’76 was “Silly Love Songs” by Paul McCartney and Wings. “Beth” by Kiss and Rick Dee’s Disco Duck” were other favorites, as were “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” and “I Like Dreaming.” Barry Manilow rose to prominence with “I Write the Songs” while Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life stayed on top for weeks. Elizabeth Taylor made headlines when she married number six, politi- cian-farmer John Warner. Silver Streak, Carrie, Network, Silent Movie, Rocky, and Roots were big” movies. On Broadway A Chorus Line won seven Tony awards, while Me and Bes- sie and The Wiz continued. It was also a growing year. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hickman welcomed their first child, daughter Tristan Giselle. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Folsom’s ‘‘new arrival” became “new arrivals” with the birt h of twins Margaret Anne and Emily Denise, while Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert Ficke rejoiced at the birth of their first son, Robert Matthew. The school year drew to a close amid a miscellany of external influences. Hostage-holding desperados, oil spills, tax cuts and the Puerto Rican statehood question vied for air time. Ultimately, the pattern became complete, not static, but constantly, consistently changing. (TOP LEFT) Messrs.
