BILLIE DAWN MILLER MARTHA MATTOX DARLA DAVIS NANCY RAMSEY KAY CAMP LINDA FERRELL THE SPIRIT OF RADFORD HIGH SCHOOL This is Radford High School — it is a group of brick buildings made up of halls, windows, doors, and walls. It contains classrooms and desks, books and lockers, blackboards and erasers. Outside there is a flag pole, a steep hill, an assortment of new white benches, a full parking lot, and a view of Memorial Bridge. Inside there are people . . . young people, adults, and many in between . . . people laughing and talking . . . people worrying about a science project or hanging up a varsity jacket, or spending an hour in penalty hall . . . people learning . . . people growing . . . people graduating. One after another they leave and others take their places. But the building remains. Its walls echo the sounds and sights of their presence: a bulletin board containing the remnants of an election poster ... a glove left behind at the junior-senior prom lying on the lost and found table ... a book collecting dust on the top of a locker. These are tangible qualities of the spirit and en- thusiasm of these people. This spirit is a collection of attitudes and feelings. It is a teacher grading test papers ... a student taking notes ... a ballgame . . . a hop on Friday night ... a cap and gown ... a class meeting. This is the SPIRIT of RHS. ! ■I THE SPIRIT OF . . .

They make comprehensive surveys of the most re- cent developments in the educational programs for the future leaders. Respected and admired, they have a position of leadership and an unending search for all that is good in all students. Mid-day fortification for several teachers includes a hearty meal and an interesting conversation. Mrs. Hillman draws an explanation for student Barbara Hall. — 17 — Top left: “Do you plead guilty or not guilty?” Top right: “Uncle Sam needs you.” Left center: “Who, me?” Right center: “Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, we wonder where the seniors is,” chant the “Dixie Darlings” (the Faculty).

But if they were not here, their absence would be sorely noted. For they make it possible for RHS to function. The Service Personnel signify the unselfish quality of doing their share of the school’s work. Mr. John Lee, Maintenance Supervisor. Joshua Jones, Tommy Truehart, Ray- mond Turner, Jr., and Sherman Lee — Cus- todians at RHS. — 19 — THE SPIRIT OF LEARNING is . . . building by accumulating pre- pared knowledge . . . never being sure of what we know, never being satis- fied with it . . . walking alone to meet brick walls, mute answers, and silenced helpers . . . gaining ex- perience through that of others . . . making other’s thoughts our own, and all efforts ours . . . striving for knowledge, truth, and wisdom . . . accepting criticism and molding it into an individual pattern . . . broad- ening our scope, deepening our un- derstanding ... a process that never ends . . . reaching, searching, and finally grasping. LEARNING — 21 — Words, Words, Words . . . studied in In a new program initiated this year by our English department, Juniors and Seniors are allowed to choose four semesters of studies from a varied curriculum. Among these are reading improvement, literature, communications, writing improvement, busi- ness English, and a journalism class. These courses prepare a person for further educa- tion and also for the business world. Here are Roley Altizer, Peggy Baker, Mike Joseph, and Carolyn Wheeling explain- ing cartoons to a mass media class. Richard Faulkner seems to enjoy his Shakespeare class as he dramatizes the immortal words of Macbeth. Ray Smith, Delaine Baylor, Barbara Skeens, Barbara Rochford, Sue Campbell, and Peggy Young take part in debates and play reading in their speech and drama classes. Much of the woi’k done on the school newspaper is completed in journalism class. Jeannie Fowler, Terry — 22 right and wrong ones are English courses Stout, Susan Haynes, Gary Goodwin, and Rebecca Silverman are talking over the new issue of the paper. Students in the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades are busy with regular English courses. In this ninth grade class, Bobby Nicholson, Billy Akers, Barbara Hall, and Jackie Pugh are learning the fundamentals of debating. Larry Price reads the answers to a test recently taken by his class on some uses of the noun. Martha Townsend and Phil Cochran show an oil painting to their tenth grade class which is studying the English novel. English is an important course of study not only because it requires five units for graduation, but because it involves a basic skill needed in other subject areas. A firm background in this subject helps to insure success in further studies. 23 — Students are taught vocational Radford High School offers a well-rounded business course for both the academic and vocational student. Included in its curriculum are typing I and II, general business, bookkeeping, office practice, two years of shorthand, personal typing, a distributive education class, and an in- dustrial cooperative training course. Students planning to go into busi- ness can obtain a thorough preparation through these classes. Business courses are usually not begun until the freshman year when one is offered an introduction course through general business. Sophomores may take either typing I or personal typing. Juniors may elect to continue with tj ping II, shorthand, bookkeeping, or any combination of these. Seniors take their second year of shorthand, office practice, and may take a course in typing for their own personal use. Janice Bain, Jimmy Sims, David Gilmore, and Carol McDaniel use the mimeograph to make copi es of a stencil in their typing II class. This is an example of one of the many varied activities taught to advanced typing students. Glenda Richards helps Bonnie Myers with some calcu- — 24 — skills in Business courses lating in their bookkeeping class. These students learn the basic rules for bookkeeping and apply them to problems given them to work. A first-year typing class does a conditioning practice before attempting their regular work. Each student works individually in office practice class. They are taught to use all the types of machines that could be found in an office. Gather Blackburn fills out a check and explains the reason for the information given to his general business class. Zelda Simpson has a question to ask in her shorthand class. Answers are often needed to questions concerning outlines, transcription, and dictation. The distributive education and industrial cooperative training courses are taught in the morning classes and students work at their particular jobs in the afternoons. Members of the distributive education class dis- cuss the qualities that each employer look for in his potential employee. Students in the industrial cooperative training course work on speeches they have made on the tape recorder. Through listening to and study- ing these tapes, the students may learn necessary corrections which will help them succeed in their training. — 25 — Math students are taught “one plus one Math is a subject known to all Radford High students from the time they enter as an eighth grader until the time that they are graduated. Advanced arithmetic is the curriculum for math 8 and senior math com- pletes a student’s more difficult studies. Two credits are required in mathematics to be graduated, and a student may elect to take math 9, business math, algebra I or II, geometry, trigonometry, and college algebra. Raymond Singleton tries to learn math 8 from a classmate as he and Terry Cash work at the board on distance problems. Having a handy classmate helps when you are teaching the class as Patty Turner has found out. Community property is the best answer to hard problems in business math, or is it? John Whitehead and Sue Shiflett find that drawing figures in geometry helps in seeing the relation of sides to angles and i i — 26 — to doubt the probability of equals two” to solving problems. Senior math is not merely an advanced arithmetic as one can see from the complexity of the figure drawn by Alan Vaughn. Pam Cook finds that using the overhead projector is a very good aid in explaining problems to her first-year algebra class. This is one of the newer ma- chines used by the school in an effort to keep up with ever-expanding teaching aids. College algebra and trigonometry are taught in semesters and complete a year’s study. Bill Semones works on sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle of depression. Gary Goodwin reads a verbal problem to his class- mates in his second-year algebra class. The subject matter in this one science field varies in activities and degrees of com- plication. By the time one is graduated from Radford, he has learned many of the basic ideas which formulate the complex processes of our society today. — 27 — The Language Department offers Latin, French, and Spanish to the students of Radford High School. A three-year course is offered in both French and Spanish ; a two-year course is offered in Latin. Records, tape recorders, and a language lab offer varied ap- proaches to the study of a foreign language. These are used by all the classes and aid the student in under- standing more thoroughly his particular language. Con- versations composed by the students are quite common in all the classes and at times are very amusing. Plays are acted out with emphasis on diction and compre- hension. Grammar is also included in homework, tests, and classroom questions and answers. French students use the language lab in an effort to improve their pronunciation and accent. At times, students write the sentences heard over the earphones. Working at the board is one of the activities of the Latin class. This may be used for checking homework or to test a student’s fluency with the language. Linda Warren prepares to start a tape of a short story in Spanish which her class has just read into the micro- phone. In this process, students are able to hear their own mistakes and through constructive criticism be able to correct them. Basic language fundamentals are supplemented by the study of foreign cultures I I — 28 — Instruction is a basic part of the science program Science is taught in several different courses. These courses are science 8, science 9, biology, chemistx ' y, and physics. Science 8 consists of an introduction to biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. Science 9 deals mainly with physical science. Biology acquaints the student with funda- mental laws of biological study. Chemistry students are taught formulas, rules, and laws. Physics is the most advanced science course and consists of problems of basic science and advanced theories. Linda Scott and Mary Coughlin use the laboratory in their chemistry class to pre- pare hydrogen. Biology students listen at- tentively as Miss Jennings gives instructions on the proper use of the microscope. Mr. Heiskell has one of his students explain a distillation process which he has just demon- strated to an eighth grade science class. Brenda Richards and Mike Roop work from their lab manuals and record the results of experiments done in science 9. Jim Cox uses the meter stick to measure distance in his physics class. Who, what, why, when, where . . . social science classes The social science department is well equipped with capable teachers and learning facilities. A student takes civics during his first year in high school. In this class he learns about being a useful citizen in his home, community, state, nation, and world. Jimmy Fisher and Wanda Reed explain a bulletin board on vocations to their fellow classmates. Ninth and tenth graders may take either geography or world history. Eddie Simms, Christine Cole, Mike Sheppard, and Freddie Dobbins draw a chalk circle on the globe to designate the position of continents in refer- ence to the equator. World history offers a study of the world of yester- day. Mary Ann Cale points out the empire of Alexander the Great and explains the countries whose borders are within this area. Juniors are required to take an American history course to acquaint themselves with the history of our nation. Mrs. Goldsmith must be collecting notebooks from all the rustling and checking that seems to be going on in her class. Seniors are required to take a government course and may take psy- chology. Government students leani about our national government and its operation. Mrs. Hatcher tallies the votes for Goldwater and Johnson after voting was complete in a school mock election conducted by her government classes. Psychology concentrates on giving the students a fundamental course as a basis for his study in college of this field. Here Mrs. Hatcher administers a test to a child to demonstrate the many facets of child psychology. Art and industrial arts challenge students to use talents Industrial arts is one of the many voca- tional subjects taught at Radford High School. Students may either take a regu- lar industrial arts course in a two-year period, a woodworking course, or a mechani- cal drawing course. All of these courses would help a person in the world of busi- ness or a chosen profession. Mr. Roane looks over some drawings done by David Chrisman and Roy Dickerson. Calvin Thomas is working with one of the many machines which are present for woodwork- ing and industrial arts courses. It is always interesting to see some of the work which is exhibited in the industrial arts showcase. Art is offered to students in three years of regular study, and an introduction is taught to orientation classes. An interest in art is cultivated in new students and en- couragement is given to talented students. Art is displayed in an art showcase and an art exhibit helps students to show their work. Mr. Hartsock is giving his class some experience in sketching by having them draw the different positions of his hands. — 31 — Peggy Baker, accompanist.

Students meeting certain requirements enjoy an advanced music course The mixed chorus is one of the classes at Radford High School which carries its class activities outside the school. Besides singing in special assemblies given by the school itself, the chorus gives a concert, sings carols in the halls at Christmas time, and bri ngs an overall good spirit to the students at all times dur- ing the year. The chorus sings for various civic clubs and frequently over the local radio station. Choruses of light music can often be heard coming from the chorus room, but strenuous voice prac- tices can also be heard in preparation for a concert or program. A student must excell in voice in order to be in the mixed chorus, and this does not usually occur until one is a freshman or sophomore. The chorus is often well represented in Virginia’s All-State Chorus. The newly formed Acapella Choir is practicing long hours in order to per- form at the same time as the junior and mixed choruses. The Acapella Choir is composed of girls in all the grades. 32 An interest is instilled in junior chorus members They have already sung before the stu- dent body and on several occasions out- side of the school. They are planning a concert tour in the spring. All students desiring to take the musical curriculum when entering high school are placed in the beginning chorus. This chorus is composed mainly of eighth and ninth graders. After singing before the chorus director at the end of their first or second year, they may be placed in the mixed chorus. This group adds the spice and humor to performances by the choruses. They radiate their liveliness and activity in the songs they choose to sing at performances.

Spirit is promoted by music heralded by the band A mass of instruments, students, talent, and majorettes make up Mr. Dobyns’ Radford “Reb” Band. Organized, but at times strange, sounds can be heard coming from the band room and floating into the auditorium. The band does much to promote lively spirit in the student body. It marches and plays at football games, puts that special “something” in pep rallies, carries the name of the school in parades both in and out of town, and makes students come to their feet at the sound of “Dixie” and “Cheer, cheer, cheer . . .” The school is especially proud of the band’s participation in the Harvest Parade in Roanoke and the Christmas parades around the area. The band also chooses members to represent it at the All-State Band held each year. Beginning band is also taught at the high school. This gives students a chance to play musical instruments and thus have an opportun- ity to play with the regular band after they have become accomplished. 34 — New students are introduced to high school in special classes Orientation is a class given to eighth graders to acquaint them with some of the subjects offered at the high school. Among the studies in an orientation class are drama, art, home economics, and industrial art. Some teachers remark that it is frus- trating at times trying to change ideas which upperclassmen have generously of- fered to their new school mates. Henry Totten, James Walb, Woodrow Yopp, and Mike Woolwine try to work a puzzle made by one of Mr. Roane’s wood- working classes. They may one day be able to construct the same puzzle in a regular woodworking class. Larry Price, Teddy Thompson, and Dede Scott work on some painting in their art orientation class. They may learn more about the complexities of art if they choose to take a class in this subject. Drama not only gives eighth graders a chance to sample some techniques for stage use, but also gives them confi- dence for such things as speaking, voicing opinions, and report giving. Cathy Cochran plays the mother of the “mean little kid,” Henry Fisher, when they read and act out the skit, “Folly on the Trolley.” Home Economics gives a girl a chance to learn a little about home care. They get a small portion of what upperclassmen girls learn in other home economics classes. Libby Stevens hems a towel — one of the first steps in learning the correct use of the sewing machine. — 35 Individual and team efforts are stressed in physical education Physical education is required for three years in the Radford school system. During these first three years, students alternate their class between health education and physical education. In health education, a student studies about the human body, first aid, and driver’s educa- tion. Physical education concentrates on the fundamentals of such sports as basketball, volleyball, baseball, football, tennis, aerial darts, bad- minton, ping pong, folk dancing, and tramboline. Greg Snead and Larry Pannel have caught the main points of a class discussion and appear to be making the subject clearer by explaining accompanying charts. Ernestine Scaggs and Phyllis Woodrum have differing opinions on where the collar bone is located in the anatomy of the human body. The last two years of physical education can be optional to students. No health is taught to participants, but concentrated effort is placed on development of the specific skills of each individual. Jim Cox helps Dale Martin who is working out with weights in senior physical educa- tion. This is one of the many different approaches taken to insure a student of good physical fitness. Lucy Sisson, Margie Marshall, and Vickie Foster attempt a pretty, but helpful, routine on the balance beam. Students taking physical education know that the courses involve hard work but also offer recreation and rewards. — 36 — A class which is not required, but which is very helpful, is study hall. This class during the regular school day gives the student an op- portunity to catch up with the work he has missed or to get ahead by doing extra work. Students in study hail are fortunate to be able to choose between a library for reference materials or the quiet in the study hall cafeteria. Candy Jones, Jim Cox, and Pat Heinline use their study hall for homework, outside reading, French conjugations, and I’ewriting last minute reports. In the library, Jean Clark does some reading for a research paper during her study hall period. Home economics impresses upon students the skills necessary for efficient home manage- ment. Through instruction in cooking, house- work, sewing, and child care, students learn how important and how much fun homemaking can be. Judy Hinkley and Judy Thompson are measuring ingredients for a dish for which they have just found the recipe. This is only one of the many aspects in the home with which they work. Leisure and school time are occupied with study hall and home economics — 37 — THE SPIRIT OF BELONGING is . . . satisfaction after working to make others happier throughout our community . . . afternoons when four different clubs have unexpected “call meetings” . . . endless rehearsals for floorshows and plays . . . meeting re- sponsibilities . . . leading fellow class- mates . . . taking part in an inspiring religious assembly . . . obtaining and maintaining respect . . . participation in State Conventions . . . enjoying friends and extra activities . . . join- ing the efforts of many to express the Spirit of Radford High School. — 38 — BELONGING — 39 — ■ J ml IM L I ll 1 1 1 First Row: Jack Roop, Libby Vansant, Guy Wohlford, Tommy Chiistian, Tony Mullins.

Definite advantages in this work are having the ability to count change, not being allergic to cigarette smoke, and having a tough hide to take all the cuts.

The staff room is quiet. The door is shut and the noise of rustling papers, swearing typists, and sometimes tense voices is now an echo. It is the day after the afternoon before. In the place of frantically scracthing pencils, clicking cameras, rushing feet, wildly waving arms, and battle- scarred gallies is emptiness, stillness. The ACORN has gone to press. The only signs of the former chaos are sev- eral scattered pieces of typing paper, an empty film box, and some discarded headlines. But there will be more action, more plans, more desperation, more lost tempers, more frustration, more satisfaction — another issue is coming up soon.

They had a reputation to defend — that being the Group I-B State Champions of 1963 — and they were also suffering the loss of several former netmen who transferred to various private schools throughout the state. The only way a team can retain a title, no matter what the odds, is to defeat all challengers, and that is what the R.H.S. netmen did. Through the wonderful coaching of Mr. Bud Skeens and long hours of intense drills, the tennis team won its nine area matches and retained its district championship title. The Bobcats, having defeated all comers in the western part of the state, travelled to meet the eastern champs, Virginia Beach High School. An official state title was not possi- ble because of the lack of an official tourna- ment, but a 5-4 victory over Virginia Beach gave the Bobcats a good enough reason to claim the unofficial title of Group I-B State Champions for the second straight year. Con- gratulations to Coach Skeens and the members of the 1964 Radford High School Tennis Team for a job well done and a title well deserved. 1964 MATCHES RHS over Ferrum 8-1 RHS over Galax 7-2 RHS over Pulaski 8-1 RHS over Giles County 6-3 RHS over Narrows 7-2 RHS over Galax 9-0 RHS over Pulaski 9-0 RHS over Giles County 6-3 RHS over Narrows 7-2 RHS over Virginia Beach 5-4 Sponsored hy CENTRAL MARKET — 64 — The 1964 Radford High Baseball Team was only the second team to churn the dirt of the R.H.S. diamond since the sport was re- novated on the “hill” in 1963 as an inter- scholastic effort. Yet, the 1964 nine brought home the New River District Championship, as did their 1963 predecessors. A fine season of eleven wins in fourteen games heralded the fine play of the Bobcat nine. Coach Paul Hall, in his second year as R.H.S. baseball mentor, made the boys forget there were ever any sports other than that of the hardball and bat. The boys’ hard work and long practice in hitting, catching, pitching, and base running developed the skills with which they posted victories over every team they met. The season opener was a double-header with Galax High School in which the ’Cats took both games. The season closed with de- feat at the hands of Wytheville in the District Tourney. Congratulations to Coach Hall and the 1964 R.H.S. Baseball Team for their season and the District Championship. 1964 RESULTS RHS Opponent 2 Galax 1 2 Galax 1 3 Hillsville 0 4 Narrows 1 3 Christiansburg 0 0 Fort Chiswell 3 4 Christiansburg 12 13 Narrows 19 6 Giles County 0 14 Wytheville 9 8 Dublin 1 3 Wytheville 0 7 Giles 5 4 Fort Chiswell 0 Varsity Baseball First Row: Doug Fitzpatrick, William Me- Guire.

Varsity The 1964 Radford High Track Team, as were other teams before it, was drained of manpower by the other spring sports. R.H.S. Trackmen had not posted a win in four years. However, under the careful coaching of Mr. G. C. RolDerson and Mr. R. T. Farnsworth, the 1964 thinclads revived track on the “hill.” The Bobcat trackmen participated in five meets and the District Meet during the season. Second places were earned in the first two meets of the season, both being triangular affairs. Then, at V.P.I., the thinclads boasted their first victory in four years when they downed Dublin, Fort Chiswell, and Pulaski.

This time one of the defeated teams was Narrows, a strong contender with Blacks- burg for the District title. The last meet was a duel meet with Dublin which ended in a tie. The District Meet proved to be a real battle for the title and the Bobcats were in top contention. The Radfordians came out in thii’d place in the meet which was a great ac- complishment for the thinclads. Because of their District performances.

Varsity Football The 1964 Radford High Football Team showed promises of power and potential in the tough New River District. The Bobcats boasted a good record in 1963 and sixteen seniors on the 1964 squad. Coaches Farns- worth and Roberson incorporated some new plays and series into the program. There were many hours of long, hard practice before the Bobcat players even saw a game uniform. Then amid the roar and tremendous sup- port which Bobcat fans provided throughout the season, the Black and White flattened Christiansburg for the second straight year. Probably the toughest losses of the season were those to Dublin and Narrows. Both were hard-fought contests as indicated by the scores. The greatest gridiron victory was un- doubtedly handing top-ranked Blacksburg its only defeat of the season in a thrilling battle. Chosen for the All-District Team were Bruce Altizer, Wayne Brooks, Tom Brewer, and Tony Mullins. The Bobcat Football Team deserves a vote of appreciation and commendation for a very fine 1964 season.

Yet it has also a lonely side. A captain feels an intense loneliness when all eyes are on him as the referee conducts the toss of the coin. A coach feels loneliness when his team is in a situation that puts much respon- sibility on his decisions. A ball carrier feels a loneliness when there are hostile jerseys all around him. A blocker feels a loneliness when there are many men to block. A runner feels a loneliness when time is running out, his team is behind, and he is handed the ball. But all is not loneliness. In fact, players usually for- get there ever was such a word when there are yells, pushing, shoving, and outbursts of team spirit before the opening kickoff. Football takes the whole team, and the Bobcats worked as a fine team throughout the season. — 69 — First Row: Gary Goodwin, Kenny Edwards, Billy Cochran, David Hannah, Doug Fitzpatrick. Second Row: Danny Fisher, Wayne Brooks, Bill The 1964-65 Radford High Basketball Team could not seem to get off the ground, although it did post a better win-loss record than the 1963-64 team. A lack of height and overall ex- perience plagued the team throughout the season. Coach Jerry Glass was faced with a young team and only four boys returning from last year’s squad. The depth and experience of the senior boys and the ability and potential of the underclass- men made Radford’s basketball season. The backing of Bobcat fans showed through in the roundball sport and the stands were packed at every home game. The Bobcats gave their fans a few very thrilling moments, too, in close con- tests with Galax, Dublin, and Giles County. A shot by Dave Hannah with seconds to go in a game with Floyd County broke a tie and gave the Cats a win. With the fine instruction of Coach Glass and the potential of the young players, Radford fans can look forward to a good upcoming roundball team. Semones, Nelson Sifford, Tom Gammache.

School spirit, especially in the past year, has increased sharply, and football and basketball games have been marked by very enthusiastic cheering — an enthusiasm which dwarfs that of opposing schools. The responsibility of maintaining school spirit rests on the seven R.H.S. Cheerleaders. Cheerleading is a very difficult task and the 1964-65 group has done a marvelous job of performing and leading cheering in our school. bell, co-head cheerleader; Martha Mattox, Donna Roop, and Patty Skeens. A person might have been heard to re- mark, after participating in one of our pep rallies, that it was wonderfully enthusiastic and one might have been afraid the walls would crumble with all the loud cheering. But cheering is enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is school spirit, and school s pirit is the founda- tion for a school. Then with as much founda- tion of school spirit as we have at R.H.S., how could the walls crumble? Many thanks to the 1964-65 Radford High Cheerleading Squad for their excellent per- formance of duty. The cold weather doesn’t bother Radford cheerleaders as they seek refuge in varsity jackets and cheer their team on to victory.

I am a Senior. It has taken five years to earn what I have and five years to learn what it means. I miss thirty hours of class by going to lunch early. Under- classmen stand when I enter the auditorium. The locker door I slam is mine alone. Here I con- ceal books, newspapers, U. S. News World Reports, a picture of someone special, a varsity jacket, and forgotten test papers. I am a student of government, a writer of themes, a reader of books, and a calculator of math. I have spent ninety-nine per cent of my time reading, studying, note-taking and making a begin- ning. I have at last learned the best, easiest, and less time-con- suming methods for studying, but have stopped using them before I ever started. I am the captain of a team and the president of a club. I preside in assemblies and yell the loudest for my school team. I have attended my last pep rally, my last Christmas Dance, my last baseball game. I have hung up my uniform for the last time, turned in my last library book, and walked across the stage for the last time as a Senior. It is the end of some loves, some friendships, some pressures, some conflicts, and the beginning of my life in the outside world — my work or college career. I will find new friends and new pres- sures. I am excited at the pros- pect of change — then I stop, I think, and I realize that the spirit of Radford High School will never change. It is mine forevermore. — 84 — CAROL JANE ALTIZER G.A.A. 9, 10, 11 Tri-Hi-Y Club 11, 12 F.T.A. 12 ACORN Staff 11, 12 Nat. Hon. Society 10. 11, 12 Pres. 12 Science Club 12 Va.

Easy government exam, huh kids? Pondering over their exam are Wayne Brooks, Linda Covey, Tommy Brewer, and David Hubble. JOHNSON OR GOLDWATER? . . . R.H.S. was the scene of vigorous campaign- ing last fall, with posters and stickers plastered on walls, lockers, doors, windows, and waste paper cans. Each proclaimed a dramatic vote for a favorite candidate. Gov- ernment classes followed up the election with their own electoral colleges. As in all previous mock elections, R.H.S. , in keeping with her fine record, proved to be a perfect indication of the results of the National election. MOCK ELECTION; Terry Hewlett casts a vote for his favorite candidate while Kenton Bird and Diane Ferrell supervise the eighth grade polls. Barbara Ratcliffe and Linda Halsey complete one of the many preparations for June graduation by measuring for caps and gowns. “Let’s see . . . which style do I want?” It’s a difficult decision for Tommy Bain, Ann Burleigh, and Tommy Hopkins as they select from various styles of calling cards for their invitations. But Find Time to Meet Responsibilities These seven Seniors spent a rigor- ous, tiring, but very rewarding week at Virginia Girls’ State and American Legion Boys’ State last June. Girls’ and Boys’ State are held annually for the purpose of promoting a deeper un- derstanding of, and greater interest in. State and local government. Students from all areas of the state are chosen as delegates on the basis of character, courage, honesty, cooperativeness, and physical fitness. Judy Nelson proved her homemak- ing ability by coming out on top this year in the Betty Crocker “Homemaker of Tomorrow’’ Contest. Judy was pre- sented the award after competing with other Senior girls at R.H.S. Later on in the year, Judy will go on to the State competition. Front Row: Martha Mattox, Ronnie Pennington, Doug Fitzpatrick. Back Row: Pat Coleman, Guy Wohlford, John Capito, Heath Jones. Martha Mattox was presented the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award. This award is presented each year to a Senior girl who displays outstanding character, leadership, citizenship, and scholarship. — 101 Senior Clips and Quips Top Left: Last minute craming for a government test.

CLASS 0 F 19 6 6 When the school doors opened in Septem- ber, Juniors entered, bringing with them a feeling of importance and a new sense of re- sponsibility. Football games found some des- perately soliciting a dime from sympathizing fans for programs. Then came the testing season with SCAT and STEP, followed by the PSAT. The prospect of ordering class rings put a great many in a frenzy trying to decide exactly what they wanted. After the holidays the class’ main concern was the traditional Junior-Senior Prom. Plans began to take shape hopefully. In March the class rings finally arrived. In May the Juniors honored the Seniors with the long-awaited prom, a rewarding climax to much hard work. As the year drew to a close. Juniors turned their thoughts to the ambitions and goals they would strive for as Seniors. Juniors have their class rings: Linda Ferrell, Bill Cochran, Gary Goodwin, Fern Griffth, Gae Dalton, Sandra Stevens. — 106 — i Larry Albright J immy Altizer Roley Altizer Danny Anderson Janice Bain Peggy Baker Delaine Baylor Pete Seller David Bissett Eunice Bolling Norma Bond Ted Bratton Butch Bruce Kaye Camp Pam Cash Bobbie Chambers Mike Chambers David Chrisman Tommy Christian Jean Clark Bill Cochran Larry Cooley Sue Copenhaver — 107 — College-bound juniors confronted Mary Coughlin Gae Dalton Gordon Dalton Linda Dean Connie Dickerson Darrell Dobbins Robert Duncan Steve Earles Kenny Edwards Linda Ferrell Connie Fisher Betty Flinchum Jeannie Fowler Jimmy Gibson Bob Gammache Charlotte Gilmore Gary Goodwin Fern Griffith Mary Lou Haas David Hannah Richard Helvey Philip Hendrix Sylvia Henley — 108 — by SCAT, STEP, College Boards David Hollins Ann Hornbarger Madonna Howard Barbara Johnson Barbara Jones Connie Jones Pat Jones Sonny Jones Mike Joseph Dianne Kovach Sharon Leathers Sandra Lytton Dale Martin Jim Martin Rita Martin Nelson McConnell Kathy McCoy Cathy McCraw Carol McDaniel Johnny McGuire Sharon McPeak Freddy Miles Cheryl Miller — 109 — Juniors honor Seniors with Judy Miller Roger Morris Tommy Neal Vander Nester Donnie Pack Ronnie Pack Barbara Perkins Richard Phillips Jackie Porter Sheron Powell Jerry Price Gary Reed Ann Robertson Tommy Roop Richard Rose Linda Salyer Benny Saunders Linda Scott Bill Semones Garrett Shelor Billy Simpkins Nelson Sifford Zelda Simpson — 110 — presentation of prom in May Jimmy Sims Patty Skeens Sally Slasher Jerrell Smith Joyce Smith Ray Smith Kenny Spencer Jackie St.Clair Ann Stafford Sandra Stevens Alan Sutphin Gail Sutphin Edward Thompson Jimmy Thompson Tommy Thompson Bobby Viers Danny Viers Linda Warren Linda White Troy White Johnny Whitehead Brenda Whitt Graham Wickline Rebecca Wright — 111 — Officers: Phil Quesenberry, President; Bruce Altizer, Treasurer; Glen Conrad, John Roberts, Repre- sentatives; Terry Kanode, Vice-President; Margaret Coughlin, Secretary. Sophomores — rather appropriately called the “in-between” class, have a year’s experience in at- tending high school functions but have a year to wait before they are really considered upperclass- men. For them, the fall is a period of adjustment to their position as “in-betweens.” Everybody gets to choose English courses and everybody gets an- other locker in the new building, which is just as well since nearly everybody has to have biology and geometry. Some valuable athletes were gained by the football and basketball teams when several sophomore boys showed up at varsity practice. Later in the year, the more ambitious members in the class began planning for the days when they will need funds for their prom and graduation. They started their fund raising by sponsoring a IMystery Dance in April. CLASS 0 F 19 6 7 Sophomore halls before the first bell, “The Tovv ' n Criers.” Kitty Barnard and Cathy Claflin.

CLASS 0 F 19 6 8 Explorers always wander through mazes — some unchartered realm. And in this manner have our freshmen explorers at last crossed their maze of unchartered growth. They have passed the first test of endurance and now that the un- usual has become unusually familiar, they have been accepted at Radford High School as a class of semi-dignified, semi-accomplished students. With their enthusiastic acceptance they begin their miserly hoarding of clinking half dollars for which they exchange the gay noise and action of a dance. And as Fx’eshmen they have at last experienced a real year of high school — a year just as full of hal ' d work as fun.

That was the impact the eighth grade class of 1964 had on the school. Rad- ford High was suddenly greeted with a throng of new faces gathered from the various ele- mentary schools in the city. Most of them spent several days getting acquainted with the routine of high school life — weaving through the between-class traffic .jams, entering the right classroom at the right time, and finding a seat at lunch. Class officers were elected in the fall and in November the group had its first dance. After the holidays, most of them managed to survive exams. In the spring they elected their officers for the next year and set their goals as freshmen. Lunchtime — Donna Simpson, Martha Kay.
