FRIENDSHIPS add sparkle and radiance to high school routine. They provide a feeling of security that aids us in emotional growth and personality development. Friendship encourages an atmosphere of “togeth- erness” in the many class and club activities we enjoy. Memories of shared incidents, both good and bad, forge high school friendships that are enduring, ever-last- ing. WE REMEMBER little things about the long hall each morning be- fore class begins. Unless the lights are on, the hall is dark. Steam rises from a radiator in the main entrance. Lockers open and close. Loud chatter and laughter drift down the hall. Some students grab a book and hurry to the Library to do last-minute studying. Others gather at the top of the stairs or at the windows to exchange jokes and to talk. CHANGING CLASSES is a routine familiar to every student. In the rush from class to class we have time only to say a hurried, ‘“Hello,” exchange a quick glance, or talk a few seconds with that certain someone. After slam- ming the locker door, we rush quickly down the hall to reach our classroom, with brief thoughts of our assignment flickering across our mind. As we dash to our accustomed desk, we can only sigh as the bell rings and class begins. IT IS 11:45 A.M. or 12:40 P.M. A bell rings, and the sound of stamped- ing feet echoes loudly down the hall to- ward the cafeteria. Students clamor for a place near the front of the lunch line. After a seemingly endless wait, the well-filled trays find an accustomed place on a table. Hungry teenagers gather strength for the afternoon amid the ceaseless clatter of silverware, laughter, music, and chatter.

MANY MOMENTS pass before us. For some unexplained reason we re- member a fleeting expression or action. Perhaps it is watching the football players as they join in a last minute prayer before the kickoff. It might be the contortions of faces laughing at the antics of others. We may notice the sparkle in someone’s eye as he passes another in the hall or the lined frown on a classmate’s face as he looks over his test paper for the last time. We concentrate on the day dreamer next to us gazing out of the window with a far-away look in his eyes. We might happen to notice light filtering through a hole in the shade or the scuff marks on a once-polished hall floor. We notice these things often without realization - — for they blend into a pattern that we see every day. ACTIVITIES swirl about us in a never-ending round of dances, ball games, and class projects. Gallantly we join the hardy souls on the dance floor doing the current dance rage, “The Twist,” or line up for the popu- lar “Bristol Stomp.” With anticipation we await a club program, an election result, or go over the last line of the play before the curtain opens. The last touch of paint is dabbed on a flower and, from a high ladder, the piece of crepe paper is hung for the dance decorations. Extra - curricular school activities give us an inner glow of accomplishment and a true sense of belonging. SCHOOL SPIRIT is a silken thread tying five classes into one student body. Proudly we sing to- gether the school song and chan t our favorite cheers in a roof-raising pep rally or in the stands at the ball games. School spirit is that certain “something” running through a crowd of people as they yell “Go! Go!” to a TD-bound ball - carrier or as that last-second basketball goal swishes through the hoop. School spirit is never lost; it prevails in our sports, in our classes, in our clubs, and in our activities. Proudly we say, “We are the Bobcats from Radford High School.” — 5 —
