Pulaski High School - Oriole Yearbook (Pulaski, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1974 volume:

To The Students and Faculty of Pulaski High School Plans to move to the new Pulaski County High School have been reflected in past PHS activities. Homecoming, Winter Formal, Miss PHS and many other school functions found themselves facing the ageless theme of the end of Pulaski High School. Some other changes reflected in this year of transition were the innovation in SCA elections, teachers leaving to prepare for new facilities, and more broadly, the state of our national economy. Instead of the usual student government elections, an advisory counsel of ten students was elected from the two county high schools. Teachers prepared the curriculum to be offered to PCHS students and to be included in the handbook used for course registration. The changes in the national economy were felt by students and teachers alike. Prices in school lunches rose slightly as soaring inflation moved in. Car pools formed and bicycles appeared to help conserve what little fuel there was to be had. Heavy sweaters and down jackets were the “in” tiling. Whether this was due to temperature cutbacks or for warmth while waiting in gas lines was not known — probably a combination of both. We, as individuals could no longer ignore the reality of political crises, shortages and transition in our school itself. In fact, anticipation began to take the place of anxieties as the year wore on. An attempt was made for the last yearbook to include the nostalgia, both bad and good as well as the enthusiasm for the future. 2 In Dedication And Special Recognition We Honor Mrs. Edna B.

TUP 8 «ii ' 8 5 1973 P.H.S. 00 K Pm 5- h £ CD Homecoming ’73 was held September 21st. The week was filled with expectation and excitement. Clubs were involved in decorating the halls, gymnasium and cafeteria. Students divided their time among working on decorations for school and working on their class floats. Ketchum Family Entertains Members of the G.A.A. posing as the Ketchum family entertain the student body during Homecoming. Judy Compton, a new J.V. cheerleader leads the seniors in a new cheer. Terry Hughes kicks the extra point to the winning touchdown. Instead of a mini-float parade, each club decorated a portion of the halls. First place winner was the National Junior Honor Society, Second place winners were the FHA and FBLA. Each class worked diligently on their class float. First place went to the sophomores with “Sink the Spartans”. Second place was captured by the seniors with “It Will all come out in the Wash.” Third place went to the juniors with their float “Clock-Work Orange.” To top off Homecoming the mighty Orioles defeated the Giles Spartans by the score of 20-7. 10 During Homecoming The tenth grade displays their number one float, “Sink the Spartans.” Mr. Huff thanks the student body for all of their hard work and enthusiasm.

Below: Perhaps people and places change, but it is as though the countryside always seems the same. Break-In and Bomb Threat The school day was interrupted by bomb threats and a break-in. Teacher’s lounges and other areas were vandalized. Gossip was started among the students about the sum of money that was taken, but the greatest damage done was to the machinery. A bomb threat was called in on September 25, 1973 during the second period. Students were evacuated from the building, and then again during second lunch. The local police were on hand and men went throughout the building searching for the alleged bomb to no avail. Vandals succeeded only in ruining furniture, not in gaining valuables. The local police arrived to search for an alleged bomb. Students are happy to have a break in the fresh air. 14 They Make It Tick In a year of change, without the help of students, teachers giving extra time, and kitchen workers, the school could never have run so smoothly. These people deserve special credit this year amidst all the confusion of plans for the new school. Mrs. Reese, Mrs. Hogee and Mrs. Jarrells make rolls for an on-rush of hungry students. Bonnie Hughes and other students do volunteer work in the office. 15 v.

No matter how many activities were planned the main concern of the student was to learn as much as possible. The uprnost importance was placed on instruc- tion for the present PHS and for the new Pulaski County High School. Teachers and Students alike worked with a goal in mind for the future.

The National Honor Society sponsored the pageant, carrying out the theme “Stairway from Heaven.” In so much that this would be the last Miss PHS contest, each person involved wanted this to be the best pageant ever. Sixty girls from grades 8-12 were ushered onto the stage by senior footmen, Rick Kelly and Martin Bowers. Underneath the shimmering lights Julie Banks, a senior, was chosen queen, and Pam Miller, a sophomore, was chosen matron of honor. The crowning was done by Cathy Milstead, former Miss PHS. The Pulaski High School Dance Band, under the direction of Robert Gemmell provided music for the pageant. Master of Ceremonies was Mr. Frank Klagges, physics teacher at PHS.

Each club came one by one with its sponsor to have its picture made. Each sponsor made sure members were iden- tified correctly. Physical Inspection was done on September 25-27. All juniors and seniors were called to the auditorium for inspection by homerooms. Mr. Farmer makes another club picture in the auditorium. s ' . Mis. bryant records the physical statistics of each student on the permanent records. Miss Harris measures the height of Wanda Stowers at a part of physical inspection.

Three of these students, Robert Gemmell, Martin Bow- ers, and Jeannie Whitman, were chosen as members of the Governor’s School for the gifted. Rodney Ratcliffe and Shawn Harrell attended an art workshop at Ferrum College. A schol- arship was given to Nola Vanhoy to attend a science institute. ROBERT GEMMELL, a senior, attended the Mary Baldwin Center. His two main areas of study were mathematics and organic chemistry. His mathematics class dealt with probability and statistics. In his chemistry class he studied methods of handling organic compounds. He also completed work on a project of electroculture. ALSO ATTENDING the Mary Baldwin Center was Martin Bowers, a senior. He took courses in computer programming and in organic chemistry. He found the opportunity to work sophisticated equipment invaluable. In addition to his main classes, lie also participated in interest groups. These groups included computer games, use of the slide rule and calculator, and open forum, which was a discussion on scientific pheno- mena. CARSON NEWMAN COLLEGE was the setting for a schol- arship given to Nola Vanhoy. She received this scholarsliip to attend a National Science Foundation Institute. She took classes in biology and chemistry. Structured organic chemistry labs were another activity which she was involved in. She also completed a research project on water pollution. For her work at Carson Newman, she will receive six semester hours in biology and chemistry if she attends the college. She is pre- sently a senior. SHAWN HARRELL was accepted to an art workshop where she majored in ceramics and weaving. In her weaving course she learned the processes involved in both traditional and conventional weaving. As a result she purchased a loom on which she has continued her work. The ceramics class stressed the mixing and use of individual glazes as well as commercial ones. She has also built her own kiln. JEANNIE WHITMAN, a junior, completed a stay at Mary Washington. The courses she studied were fine arts. As a member of this class she attended such performances as the ones given by the National Ballet and the Cleveland Sym- phony. Featured speakers at Mary Washington included Gover- nor Holton. RODNEY RATCLIFFE, a senior, was chosen to participate in a photography course offered. During this course, he was allowed to use many facilities of which he had little previous knowledge. He was able to use resources such as a darkroom, with freedom. Field trips included visits to Roanoke galleries, Fairystone Park, Farmer’s Market, and surrounding areas of Ferrum. 28 Calculus requires concentration as shown by Robert Gemmell and Martin Bowers. Left: Jeannie Whitman, having taken a fine arts class, studies some litera- ture. Below: In a meeting for the art students and their parents, Rodney Ratcliffe explains the qualities of good composition in his photographs. Many changes occurred in the last year of PHS, but one of the most valuable was the addition of Frank Klagges to the faculty. He and his wife, Barbara (a substitute teacher) grew to be two of the friendliest aspects of student-teacher relationships. Along with teaching duties Mr. and Mrs. Klagges sponsored YMCA dances, science club field trips, and gave hours of time to help coach the girl’s gymnastics team. Perhaps the greatest learning experience gained from knowing the Klagges’ was the insight that a teacher can be a friend to students and relate on their own level without losing the students’ respect or admiration. 30 Mai Bloodmobile Pays Visit To PHS Mrs. Curnie Combiths is aided by student volunteers Melissa Swain and Brenda Riggle as she prepares Danny Dalton for giving blood. George Thompson takes the ear prick test as one of the many preparations for donating blood. Richard Kelly shows a smile of confidence before giving his contribution. The Red Cross Bloodmobile Unit came to PHS on February 27th. The bloodmobile was sponsored by the senior class. Over 60 pints were collected with many coming from faculty and students over 18 years old. Many of these pints were donated to special cases. 31 Candidates and Reptiles Make for Excitement Assemblies enhanced the years activities. In one assembly the candidates for the House of Representatives from the 9th district came to speak to the Senior Class. Another assembly involved reptiles. Students volunteered to work in the program by pa- rading around the gymnasium with snakes and reptiles wrapped around their bodies and sitting on their heads.

Action Around PHS Students watch as a member of the “Athletes in Action” basketball team witnesses before the stu- dent body after defeating the PHS basketball team in a friendly game. 33 1 One of the activities which was modi- fied was the election of Student gov- ernment officers. Instead of the usual SCA elections, a Student Advisory Council was formed this past year. Students were nominated by their classmates, and a screening committee chose nominees from this group. A total of five students from PHS were elected for these offices, along with five students from Dublin High. These students will work closely with admin- istrative officials in planning activities and student related functions. Mem- bers of the newly elected SCA are Jeannie Whitman, Mark Vaughan, Lynn Thrasher, Mike Mooney and Zondra Barns. 2 Teaching Staff for the Pulaski County High School and Middle Schools were chosen from present county schools. For the past two years teachers met in conferences and workshops to develop their curriculums and improve their skills. In District M Art work shop to learn about centrifugal casting is Mrs. Edna Love, Mrs. Lyndall Mason, Mrs. Martha Ireson and Mrs. Sally Hendricks, art teachers. 3 Dewey Wilson, Principal of Pulaski County High School works on scale model of gymn floor. 4 Increased help is needed to feed the expected nineteen hundred people in the new cafeteria.

Working Toward Unity In 34 School And Community 1 Sharmin Viers and Kevin Williams, children of school personnel, are en- thralled by the happenings in the school office. 2. The opportunity to write script and have a youth program on Radio WBLB was a challenge to Shawn Harrell, Clay Davis, Mark Golliday. 3 Local businesses support students in their activities. Debra Barns and Tina Karopchinsky demonstrate sketching and stained glass window art in a stu- dent show at Va. National Bank. 4 In support of the March of Dimes a walk-a-thon was planned by members of the FBLA. Making with Robert Wil- lett and Mrs. Dottie Hall are Debbie Gates, Denise Lemmon, Mrs. Brock- man, Jesse Taylor and Bill Byrd.

Toward Graduation At the beginning of the school year talks of gradua- tion began. Finally the last year of high school had come. Throughout the year seniors were involved with or- dering announcements, measuring for caps and gowns and having senior pictures made. These activities took up a lot of time and energy. There didn’t seem to be much time left for other school activities. Perhaps one reason for this was that seniors weren’t “seniors”, a labeled group. They were “individuals” searching for reasons and explanations. The glamour of activities had faded, and the reality of jobs and college loomed ahead. As graduation drew near, it was noticed that many of these people had become mature adults who began to care about problems and crises. Martha Knisely, Carol Tickle, Teresa Dalton, Julie Banks, and Sherrie Hinson pose for a picture during “Senior Scrub Day.” 38 Graduation: Excitement And Tears Mrs. Crockett measures Sandra Hash for her cap and gown. Martin Bowers assists Barbara Clark with her cap before graduation Memorabilia: Rings, Invitations, Cap and Gowns. 39 m REWARDS The profession of teaching has its rewards for those who give a greater part of their life working with students. In the teacher’s earlier years, they depart knowledge to eager minds and are often repaid by seeing a student upon completion of his own education return and teach side by side the master teacher. Mrs. Bird is such a teacher and upon her retirement this June, the transition will be made from demanding pace to a less hectic, but exciting future. Mrs. Bird has gone on to see some of her students receive outstanding awards. Some of her past students receiving awards this year are: Bill Hogans - Athletic Scholarship to East Tennessee State. Martin Bowers — Academic Scholarship to Lenoir-Rhyne Col- lege. Judy Hall — Academic Grant and Aid to New River Mary Worrell — Academic Grant and Aid to New River. Karen Hanks — Marguerite Crumley Business Scholarship. Richard Kelly — Academic Scholarship to Davidson College. Nola Vanhoy — Academic Scholarship to Carson-Newman College. 40 And Awards Robert Gemmell Leon Myers Mike Yonce Rick Congrove will submit a paper to the YIAS on his environmental science project. Recognition of the best in per- formance, skills, and creativity are the honors that go to a few. The students were chosen by their peers in com- p etition with students from area schools, and given scholarships by col- leges, organizations, and by local industries. Robert M. Gemmell, senior at Pulaski High School, took one of the two Grand Awards in the 21st Annual Western Virginia Regional Sci- ence Fair at Roanoke College in Salem on Sat- urday. He will receive an expense-paid trip to the 25th International Science and Engineering Fair at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., May 6-11, where he will compete with regional science fair winners from all parts of the nation. The Grand Award also includes a trip to the International Fair for the teacher- sponsor, Mrs. Elrica S. Graham. Gemmell was the top winner in the biological science di- vision, and Miss Debbie Howard of Liberty High School, Bedford, won the grand award in the physical science division. Gemmell’s Project was titled “Electro- physiological Response of Mimosa pudica to Emotional and Environmental Stimulation.” He built sensitive electrical equipment to detect the electrical changes in current within the cells of mimosa plants when stimulated by different types of music, light, heat, contact, gases, water, alcohol, and sound. Gemmell spent about a year and a half on his project. He concluded that the plants have no preference in music, but reacted to almost all physical stimu- lation. He found no evidence on extra-sensory perception in the tests. Gemmell also received an Air Force Award for the most outstanding project in the field of Botany, and the American Speech and Hearing Award in the field of audiology. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Gemmell of Pulaski, and plans to enter Georgia Tech this summer to study electrical engineering. Another Pulaski High School student, Leon K. Myers, won first place in the Chemistry division with his project, “Factors Affecting Growth of Chrome Alum Crystals.” His study has been conducted over a two-and-one-half year period and has resulted in the growth of several large, perfectly-formed chrome alum crystals, one of which weighs over six pounds. He has made several original discoveries, in- cluding the development of a type of “chrome alum clay” which can be used for repair jobs on growing crystals. Myers plans to continue his research, using other chemicals. He will present a paper on his project at the Virginia Junior Academy of Science meeting to be held at Old Dominion College in Norfolk in May. He hopes to learn whether or not he has set a record for home-grown crystals. Myers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Myers of Pulaski, also won an Air Force Award for the most outstanding project in the field of Chemistry. He will be a senior at Pulaski County High School next fall. Also exhibiting at The Regional Science Fair was another Pulaski High School senior, Michael D. Yonce, his project titled “AM Broadcast Band Transmitter.” Yonce, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Yonce, plans to enter Va. Tech in the fall and major in engineering. 41 Band Earns Superior Rating ALL-REGIONAL BAND: Linda Lewey, second chair flute, symphonic band; Kathy Holston, first chair bass clarinet, symphonic band; Robin Fagg, second chair, oboe symphonic band.

On March 16, 1974, the Oriole Band participated in the District VII Instrumental Music Festival held at John Battle High school in Bristol. Fifteen bands performed at the event. Eleven of these bands played grade V music, including the Oriole Band. Each band was required to play a prepared march and two other prepared pieces. The Oriole Band performed “Coat of Arms” by George Kenny, “Introduction and Fan- tasia” by Rex Mitchell, “Chant and Jubilo” by Francis McBeth. The band received a superior rating from each of the three judges at the event. Special recognition should be given to Mr. Propst, the band director, who worked many extra hours to make the band what it was. Members of the All-Regional band gave a concert at Abington High School on February 3, 1974. The symphonic band was directed by Clarence Sawhill, who is the director emeritus at U.C.L.A. and the concert band was directed by James Copenhaver from Tallahassee, Florida. The All-Virginia band gave a concert at Herndon High School on April 7, 1974.

In Last Year Jim Hickam B.S., V.P.I.; U.Va. Ext. and Radford Harold Lambert B.A., Emory Henry M.S., Radford College As the new year opened, the school year was led by a new administrative staff. Mr. Elmer Huff took over the de- manding job of principal. Many new jobs confronted him in his new position; such as, preparing the school calendar, assign- ing teacher schedules, and planning gen- eral faculty meetings. Mr. Huff arranged and supervised en- tertaining assembly programs for the stu- dents and planned school dances and con- certs throughout the year. Mr. Harold Lambert and Mr. Jim Hickam were promoted to the position of assistant principals. Their main duties were to help with attendance procedures, which included registers, daily marking of student passes, contacting parents, and disciplining students who had attendance problems. Harold Lambert makes out a student absentee pass as one of his many duties. 53 e Office Work Of Invaluable Assistance Barbara Crockett Secretary Eunice Gemmell Carol Golladay Hallie Moody Substitute Teacher Substitute Teacher Substitute Teacher Many, varied duties found their way into the hands of Mrs. Barbara Crockett, Mrs. Patty Williams and stu- dent aides in the main office. Mrs. Majella Myers, chemistry teacher at PHS, participated in the duties of the office while working toward her prac- torate degree. Mrs. Carol Golloday, Mrs. Hallie Moody and Mrs. Eunice Gemmell were familiar faces to be seen in the class- room serving as substitute teachers. They were kept on hand as regular substitutes and were as well-known as regular teachers to the students. Barbara Crockett tabulates the books for the school year.

The curriculum provided each student with a balanced course of study enabling him to develop to the maximum of his ability, skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, and viewing. Many innovative methods were used to provide students with the very best atmosphere for learning. Eighth and ninth graders were involved in team teaching situations. Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 selected their English classes from a variety of media- language and literature electives.

Energy Crisis, Privileges, and Honors Affect Seniors The excitement of the senior year was only dimmed by the possibility of delayed graduation because of the energy crisis. Excitement ran high each day with senior privileges. They consisted of leaving class five minutes early for lunch, marching into assemblies, and a social hour every morning before school. The excitement continued with the band winning two superior ratings in marching competition. Things really got rolling when the football team won their first New River District Championship. There was no let down as members of the senior class were selected for D.A.R., the Oriole’s Nest, and numerous other achievements. The excitement of the fifty-third graduating class of Pulaski High School reached its peak in. the spring with the boys’ beauty pageant, Sneak Day, and graduation plans. 69 Teresa Diane Abell Cordnette Beverly Adams Mark Steven Alley Charles DeWayne Anderson Sonia Sullivan explains the symbolic meaning of the megaphone and the spirit stick to Danny Dalton.

Responsibilities and Leadership Being a senior placed responsibility on each individual; involvement in more activities, acceptance of responsibilities, and assumption of leadership. Senior priviledges were a part of these new activities and provided the class with the oppor- tunities to demonstrate maturity, reliability, and responsi- bility. For some, being a senior meant working before or after school, holding offices in clubs, making decisions, rallying behind winning teams, and becoming aware of leadership roles in the community.

These tests were given for students to under- stand themselves and help them to decide their future studies. The upper ten percent of the Junior class was chosen to be in the National Junior Honor Society. The Juniors were the first class to order their class rings with the new Pulaski County High School insignia. Activities included the making of their Home- coming float, “Clockwork Orange” which came in third place in judging. Magazine subscriptions were sold by the Juniors to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. At the end of the year they took the American and College Scholastic Aptitude Tests. These tests are necessary for the admission into college.

They had the privilege of going to assemblies with the juniors and seniors, and were given the op- portunity of attending such clubs as Pep Club, DECA, and FBLA. This was also a new year for many new subjects such as Drivers Ed, Typing, and Distributive Education. Homecoming was an exciting event for the sophomores. All of the hard work in the rain paid off when their float, “Sink the Spartans”, cap- tured first place in float competition.

The second year of the Class of ' ll at Pulaski High School proved to be exciting, and the stu- dents weren’t bothered by upper classmen as much this year because now they had “been around”, Freshmen found that there was more hard work and study. This was the first year for some to take a foreign language such as; German, Spanish, French, and Latin. The students were introduced to Biology. Many looked forward with eagerness to the dissecting, while others moaned with upset stomachs. This year Homecoming came all too soon but the Freshman Class got together during the cold weather and soaking rain to come up with a float; “Spear the Spartans”. This was the first year for many 9th Grade students to participate in the “Big Band”. All the kids were elated and some scared at the thought of band camp where they were initiated and sold as slaves to the upperclassmen— to carry horns, be last in meal line and clean their rooms. Everyone was proud at performing in the “Best and Last Band at Pulaski High School.” Richard Allison Jeff Back Marsha Dula, J. Sue Quesenberry, and Tom Holcomb add the finishing touches to the Freshman float.

The sun was just peeping out from behind the clouds. Buses started to run, and soon shouts of nervous and anxious laughter filled the halls of Pulaski High School. The “Class of ’78” began a whole new life “on the Hill”. The changing of classes, pep rallies, and assemblies gave them a real taste of high school life. The 8th grade class was the last class to go to the traditional high school and will be the first to go all the way through the new comprehensive high school.

Standing: Carol Clark, Secretary; Karen Hanks, Reporter. This year’s Student Cooperative Association, the last at Pulaski High School, has tried to make this one of the best years ever. Homecoming was a big success. The S.C.A. treasury was much more stable than in previous years. The S.C.A. again published the Guide Book, which pro- vided students with the rules of the school, as well as a copy of the school constitution and teacher’s schedules. The Guide Book contained a floor plan of the buildings, which was valuable to new students and eighth graders. The S.C.A. sponsored a Goodwill project this year. Good- will bags were distributed to all students in English classes; those who wished to fill these bags with clothing, toys, etc., were asked to give their addresses to the S.C.A. The bags were then picked up at the student’s home. For the first time in the history of P.H.S., the S.C.A. had their own radio show. Heard weekly on W.B.L.B., Sunday afternoons at 2:30, it featured members of the S.C.A., speak- ers and special features, interspersed with music. It was hoped that this show would draw the attention of a larger audience, not only including students and parents, but other residents of Pulaski, bringing everyone up to date on what was happening at P.H.S., promoting a greater interest in school activities. Hopefully, it also brought about a better understanding between students and administration. Because of the success of the Homecoming Dance and the Get-Acquainted Hop, the S.C.A. decided to hold more dances this year. Informal dances were very popular with the student body.

The staff worked many hours on Monday nights to meet their deadlines. Several members attended a workshop at the University of Virginia in October. The senior members and a few others went to the Delmar Studio in Charlotte, North Carolina in the middle of November to take their second deadline pages and to tour the plant. One new feature of the annual was the use of collages for division pages. This was taken on as an entire staff project. The annual staff sold refreshments during a country music show sponsored by the policemen. They also sold charms taken from the individual pictures made by Max Ward of Delmar Studios. These projects were done to help financing of the book.

Through this sponsorship and the associations developed, a member learned more about his community and how it functioned. The Key Club was unique for its aim in the development of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizenship practices. Last, but by no means least, was the uniqueness of the Key Club service program. It provided the school and community with many services, such as helping with the Bloodmobile program, raising and lowering the flags each day, and assis- tance with community flood relief.

The club participated in spelling, public speaking, typing, and shorthand on the regional level. The club also sponsored a Walk-A-Thon with Dublin High School to help the March of Dimes and sold trash bags.

The Girls’ Athletic Association worked to encourage a spirit of good sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and co-operation among the students. It was composed of girls from the eighth through twelfth grades who were interested in all aspects of the P.E. program of the school. The goal of the members was to earn a G.A.A. letter. To obtain this letter, one had to acquire a standard of 1500 points. The first bar was earned by acquiring 2200 points, second bar — 2800 points, star — 3200 points and the cres- cent, which was the highest achievement point wise — 4500 points. These points were earned by the various activities sponsored by G.A.A., such as bake sales, selling projects, committees, intramural sports held after school, and through the interscholastic sports sponsored by the club. This year these intramural sports consisted of hockey, speedball, basket- ball, volleyball, softball, track and field, gymnastics, flag foot- ball, kickball, and the individual sports such as horseshoes, badminton, table tennis, and bowling. The interscholastic sports which the girls were lucky enough to have this year were basketball, track and field, and gymnastics. Another of the major activities of the club was the banquet held at the end of the year. At this event, various awards were presented. The Marietta Burchett Memorial Sportsmanship award was given to the senior girl with a minimum of three years membership in G.A.A. This girl not only participated in the club activities, but must have shown good sportsmanship at all times, including school functions and have held a Chris- tian attitude toward girls’ athletic functions. 1 The club meets to discuss possible money making projects.

Quarterback Mike Mabry runs the triple-option. The “Explosion ’73” started on the first day of practice but never died down throughout the season. Although the brother- hood were stunned by George Wythe in their first game (16-16), they came back the next weeks of practice working for perfection. The next two games against Christiansburg and Blacksburg proved that the triple-option would be one of the Orioles’ greatest assets. After winning the Homecoming game over Giles and defeating Narrows, the Birds had a weeks layoff to prepare for their encounter with greatly improved Carroll County. And then came Radford, the defending AA state champions. The Brotherhood could not quite get it all to- gether and were defeated by the Bobcats. A startling upset over undefeated Galax 51-11 reassured the student body and the team of the strength and ability they had. After defeating helpless Floyd, the Brotherhood came to their last game against arch-rival Dublin. At this point the Orioles had to win and Blacksburg had to upset Number one Galax. Then Pulaski would win the New River District title by half a game. The Orioles had everything going for them and believed in them- selves. The halftime score of the Pulaski-Dublin game was 8-3, but Dublin scored early in the third quarter to take the lead 1 1-8, the Orioles knew that they had to win and put all efforts to come back and “roll over” Dublin, 16-11, and became district champions. 175 Orioles Win District! Yes, it has happened! The Orioles have won the New River District championship, doing it in a very astonishing way. As the season was coming to an end, the birds were still in second place behind once-beaten Galax. To win the district, the brotherhood had to defeat Dublin, and Galax had to lose. This is the way it happened. The Orioles beat Dublin, and Galax lost to Blacksburg, thus, putting the “Orange Machine” in first place. Under the excellent coaching staff, made up of Coach Jim Hickam, Coach Butch White, and Coach Jim Chapman, the Orioles proved to all that they were number one.

The Junior Varsity ended one of its better sea- sons with a record of five wins and two losses. The J.V.’s opened their season with a close game with Blacksburg, losing by the score of 14-8. The Orioles then defeated Carroll County, but another close game against Rad- ford marked the second blemish on the record. The rest of the season was a bit easier. In the rest of the games the Orioles were able to defeat their opponents; Dublin, Giles, Fort Chis- well, and Galax.

In July, the cheerleaders attended cheerleading camp at Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia where they had an exciting week. The girls learned new cheers, pom pom routines and chants. Before returning home the squad received the Spirit Award of the camp, first, second, and third place ribbons and a first place trophy given for excellent cheering ability. The last year of P. H. S. has been extra special for the cheerleaders, cheering for the best teams Pulaski has ever had. Mrs. Hotz talks to Rick Kelly and Mr. Skeens about the upcoming football game. J.V.

The Eighth Grade Football team, under the coaching of Garland Earhart and Bill Hager, went undefeated this year and won the district championship. The “Baby Birds” opened their season with Blacksburg and won the game by a score of 21-6. They then traveled to Carroll County to defeat the Cavilers by 40 points. The Orioles then played Radford, winning the game by the “skin of their teeth”. After this game the Orioles season was a bit easier, winning all games by no less than 13 points. The “Baby Birds” scored 169 points against opponents, and 28 points were scored against them. This proved to be one of the best Eighth Grade teams in the history of Pulaski High School.

Coach Butch White discusses the game strategy with Coach Wuest, Rick Harvey, and Randy Dickenson as Frank Baldwin looks on. They say: the last, the best. This holds true for the varsity basketball team. In the last year before consolidation, the Ori- oles put together special efforts to accomplish this feat, one which included scoring 100 points in one game. The varsity basketball team concluded this season with a record of fourteen wins and six losses. The Orioles started off with a bang by being selected as the number one team in the district. This meant that the birds were the “bull’s-eye” on the district board. At the end of the first half of the season, the Oriole record stood at seven wins and three losses, which were to the top three teams in the district. After many hard fought games the Orioles astonishingly de- feated the Blacksburg Indians only to loose to Carroll County by one point. After another loss to Galax the Orioles were upset by Giles. The Birds then were able to defeat Floyd. The last game of the regular season was with Dublin. This was the last time the two schools would meet due to the upcoming consolidation. Hal Reynolds, closely guarded by his Blacksburg opponents, concentrates on scoring for the Orioles in the championship game. This was not only the last game for the seniors, but it was also the last for the rest of the team. 184 J.V.’s Conclude Successful Season Front Row: Ronnie Patterson, Buford Redd, Brian Redd, John Baker, David Alderman, Bill Waller, Jamie Sypneiskwi, Maceo Patterson.

The Junior Varsity basketball team, under the excellent coaching of Tom Wuest, concluded one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. The first half of the season the J.V.’s had only lost one game and were in first place. Many of these “cliff-hanging” games went into overtime and were always close. But the second half of the season was not as easy. Many of the teams had improved and would be harder to defeat, but the Orioles pulled through and ended the season with only four losses.

The 1974 team was tri-captained by Senior, Dendy Haller, and Juniors, Tami O’Dell and Karen Boult. Girls’ Gymnastics Competition was con- ducted in four areas: floor exercise, balance beam, uneven Parallel bars, and vaulting. For the first time all girls competing performed both a compulsory and an optional routine. The compulsory routines were made up by the National Federation of Gymnastics. The optional routines were original creations patterned by the girls. The execution of the op- tional routines were most important, as even a very simple routine done well could score quite high. Judges looked for body posture, carriage and alignment — and the elegance and sureness of the gymnast in executing the routine. Competition in gymnastics was an individual effort of each of the girls. Each girl knew her own strength and weakness, and worked accordingly. It required an extreme amount of self- discipline, determination, and hard work. Excelling in an area required all three of these factors, and it was only after performing numerous times, that a gymnast obtained con- fidence and sureness in herself. Jeanine Lemons, Susan Newsome, Nancy Roberts, and Jenny Boult, are members of the vaulting section on the JV gymnastics team. Jeannie Whitman practices for her competi- tion on the uneven parallel bars. 195 Orioles Win First Game 1974 BASEBALL TEAM: First Row: Dennis Trail, Bruce Kelly, Mike Mooney, R.J.
