And you looked tall. Or short. Or fat. Or skinny. Depending on the person you were that day. You walked through the silent grey halls and stared at the rows and rows of lockers, and wondered which one Wdould be yours. And suddenly it was later, and the agile movements of a quarterback had you shouting and exhuberant. Or the purple and white of a chemistry test made your stomach ache. Or the way the sun winked through the trees in front of the cafeteria made you forget the “F” you made in algebra. And before you knew it, again the days had passed, and it was lat6r. And you heard the chorus rehearsing “Halls of Ivy.” And you felt sad. Or happy. Or melancholy. Or relieved. Depending on the person you were that day. It’s like when the mirror at the clothing store made you infinite. And you weren’t really certain that you wanted to be infinite at all. But you took a good long look at yourself. Because something told you things would never ‘be the same. IMAGES IMAGES . . . 5 . . . DEPENDING ON THE PERSON YOU WERE THAT DAY . . I HHH WDIw L 1 1 ■ •■ THE OAK LEAF SPOTLIGHTS Students know her us helpful, understanding. MRS. LORENA SHUMATE She is vital to the everyday life of RHS. — jr- It is the fashionable thing these days to talk about one’s being “busy”. About one’s not having enough “time”. This year the 1970 OAK LEAF spotliglits one who is an authority on the word “busy”. She has the remarkable ability to transform a jumbled stack of papers into neatly finished work in record time. She handles competently bills, figures, receipts, and finances that would baffle most women. Despite her efficiency, her work is never completed for she is a vital part of the everyday life of RHS. We spotlight Mrs. Lorena Shumate. Mrs. Shumate knows the meaning of the word “busy.” 9 INDIVIDUALS The building, you discovered, was only a skeleton. The faces gave it personality. The boy in writing lab who chomped his chg wing gum like a cow. The stringy-haired eighth grader who cried when she dropped her lunch tray. The teacher whose eyes danced with enthusiasm. j You sorted from the blurr of moving faces those whom you would come to know. The best friend to whom oh-so-many secrets were entrusted. The coach who demanded top-notch performance. The witty friend with whom you shared innumerable private jokes. And suddenly, it seemed you knew all the faces. And you discovered that the way you looked at them was the way they looked back at you. IMAGES OF INDIVIDUALS 11 NEVER Mr. Hopkins comes to RHSas head of our new vocational department. Mr. James D.

I TO HIM BELONG I THE PROBLEMS AND PRESSURES- AND THE PRIDE OF LEADING RHS | FACULTY teach ’tech vb 1 : to cause to know a subject: act as a teacher. 2: to show how. 3; to guide the studies of. 4: to make to know the dis- agreeable consequences of an action 5: to impart knowledge. Noah Webster was on the right track. To cause to know, to guide, to show how, to impart knowledge. All are valid definitions. But the part Mr. Webster could not express is perhaps the most significant, for teaching is a personal experience. There were days when you felt you had performed miracles with the twenty-odd students who entered your room each day in varying moods. And then there were days when the twenty-odd faces seemed to form an organized front against higher learning, and° you felt you hadn’t reached them at all. You lectured. You read. You tested. You drilled. You quizzed. You memeographed. And it gradually became apparent that teaching was not so much a matter of doing, as it was of being. 17 Mrs. Ann R.

Sometimes it is hard to comprehend the fact that the earth has made 1,825 rotations since the days of green basement lockers, knee-length skirts, and eighth grade dances. It seems that only yesterday you sat in homeroom and listened to the symphony of clanking radiators and heard the rumbling of senior feet on the floor above you. The memories of five years have now fused, so that it is difficult to focus on any separate experience ... an eighth grader entered a noisy classroom with the look of nervous apprehension which accompanies those first days. It was you. A bright-eyed sophomore peered expectantly into the world of the microscope. It was you. A ruddy-faced athlete grimaced with the agony of the ultimate effort. It was you . . . Now you are no longer the you in those memories. You are a senior, dignified in the solemn white of graduation. You have learned a lot at RIIS. Latin and geometry and things like that. But also other things that somehow seemed more fundamental. Tolerance. Compassion. Re- silience. Things that just might see you a little further than Latin or geometry. 1,825 days. An d now, although the beige locker is black with emptiness, you see in it Images of what you have been and of what you will become. 40 “Did Jeannie smash my sandwich again?” asks Pauline Alderman Libby Coughlin.

You showed it in the way you walked down the halls. You asserted your authority around underclassmen, but quietly re- spected the Seniors. You were suddenly confronted with the excitement of class rings, the fear of college boards, the endless planning for Prom, and the added dignity of growing responsibility. You realized how quickly your higli school years were passing. Suddenly the things you had looked forward to became the things you looked back on. The things to be remembered as Images.

Right smack dab in the middle of your high school years. You were too old to share the carefree world of an underclassman. Too young to assume the sophisticated aire of an upperclassman. “And when you’re only half-way up you’re neither up nor down.” It was only a nursery ryhme, but it suddenly acquired new sig- nificance. It was a fun year. You raised the roof at pep rallies, earning for yourself a reputation for being a “lively” class. You took an active part in organizations. You enjoyed for the second time the privileges of hops and dances. You became necessary to the life of RHS. And that was a very special feeling. With the end of the year, your thouglits turned to the once-distant realm of prom and class rings. Your mind recorded Images of the things to be remembered. And you felt happy. Or sad. Or relieved. Depending on the person you were at the end of your sophomore year. Renee Lewis: Treasurer; Bill King: V-President; Marty Giesen: Secretary; Ld Weyer; President. .

You were expected to act older. More mature. And somehow that part of it was sad. Like growing up and throwing away your favorite doll. But the sadness was soon forgotten, for in the transfor- mation you acquired a new identity. You walked througli the halls with an air of confidence, marveling at the awkwardness of 8th graders, feeling a strange sense of comradeship with upperclassmen. You sang the school song with gusto, for you had finally learned all the words. You turned on to the excitement of an after-game hop. You elected representatives to the Homecoming Court. You accepted greater responsibilities academically and socially. So this was what it was all about. “Freshman.” The word had a nice ring. Before you knew it, the days had passed and it was later. And the experiences of a very special year were merely Images. 77 NEW PRIVILEGES, NEW RESPONSIBILITY Read left to right, top to bottom: Bill Akers Danny Akers Debbie Akers Nancy Akers Betty Albert Kenny Alderman Gary Atkinson John Benson Jimmy Bissett Tim Blackburn David Bondurant Steling Boyd Vickie Brown Gayle Calfee Bobby Calhoun Tommy Camp Julis Carter Benny Christian Vickie Christian Vonetta Claytor Chip Craig Kappy Crews Karen Cronkrite John Corn Kay (’oughlin Jody Cox Kathy Curtis Len Dough tery Alfred Day Mike Dean Jed DeHart Karen DeHart Rickie Dickens Bobby Dickerson Ralph Dickerson Ralph Dobbins 78 Freshmen Mira Goldsmith and Wallace Home celebrate the victory over Wythe- Arc Cosine Carter is well-known for his unusual ville. name.

THE BELL RANG. . . You found it hard to sleep the night before you came, and you didn’t eat your breakfast the next morning. You stood outside and chatted casually with friends, trying hard to stifle the inevitable questions that plagued your thoughts. And then it happened. A bell rang and you climbed the curving stairway and entered the beige build- ing without a backward glance. You wanted to look confident, but you tripped over someone’s foot and bumped your knee on a trash can and ruined the whole thing. It was an exciting day. A spooky day. And suddenly it was later, and you’d joined a club or two and passed a Civics test and your class had won the “Spirit Stick” at a pep rally. You were becoming a part of RHS.

An ameoba glided serenely in the white light ot your microscope. David Copperfield leaped from the musty pages of a book to become a living, breathing person. Quadratic equations seemed to solve themselves. Rays of light carried Robert E. Lee from a small black projector to the wall of your history class. Sometimes the teacher made the difference. The way her eyes danced when she explained existentialism or geo- metric functions. The patience with which she answered your silliest questions. The intangible but powerful rap- port which existed between students and teacher. After all, you were there to learn. And you were sur- prised at what you did learn. You analyzed. You dis- sected. You diagrammed. You translated, bissected, com- puted, revised and interpreted. And then the bell rang for the last time and you had forever to consider the worth of your efforts. IMAGES of Academics. 91 P5‘«sS LEARNING EFFICIENCY, Mrs. Mottesheard gleefully looks forward to grading 200 papers. Typing 1 students study word division. Dinah Hale. Judy Cox, and Joe Cloodykoontz complete a timed writing. ACCURACY A typewriter carriage is returned. A letter IS dictated to be taken down in shorthand. A student makes the awful discovery that he single-spaced an assignment that he should have double-spaced. A teacher smiles as she sets the clock for a timed writing. One learns about per cents, interest, and incomes. Someone finds himself listed on the board as a giggler. Mr. Dobbins happily informs a student of a job. Working students suddenly become more familiar with such words as occupation, responsibility, trade, and profession. They learn to handle money and people, and experience pride and independence. Fast-moving, challenging, ever- changing-this is the exciting business world. Serious Mr. Dobbins? Jo Ann Collins prepares to read devotions. 93 English. Man’s complex system of communicating the thoughts and emotions that are born in his mind. English. Not only the study of words, but of minds. A student may visit Main Street with Sinclair Lewis or examine the poetic musings of Shakespeare. He may view God and Nature through the eyes of Albert Camus or experience the macabre moods of Edgar Allen Poe. Through the selection of specialized Englishes, RHS students may broaden their understanding of life. A student may mourn the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare 1. He may study the construction of thoughts through grammar courses. He may come to know the frustrations of the ’’Lost Generation” in a Contemporary Literature class. Through creative writing, he may lend his interpretation to a Picasso or a Bach composition. He may float down the Mississippi with Huck and Tom in Individualized Reading or experience rage and shame in To Kill A Mockingbird. And so, through the words of our language are communicated the “agony and the ecstacy” of the human experience. Mildred Harvey seems to follow the example of Michael Brodie. “Let me guess-Penny or Vickie?” says Kenny Alderman. Mandy Martin, David DeHart, and other COMMUNICATING THE “AGONY AND THE ECSTACY ” OE THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE 94 Mrs. Wade enjoys one of the fringe benefits of being a teacher. f ' ' -si eighth graders learn the basics of our language. Len Daughtery, Cameron Long, and others find freshman English quite amusing. “Now let me see . . . The Pearl symbolizes . . . ” English students Anne Price and Mary Ingles enJoy-What? Another Christmas party?!! Sonja Nester proves that it is possible to be comfortable in class. j 95 IMAGES OF OTHER CULTURES Abie Williams offers expert advice on verb conjugation. Mrs. Pierce conducts a game of Spanish Bingo. Suddenly English isn’t the only thing, and expression in anotlier language becomes important, even exciting and interesting. Someone conjugates French verbs until he starts conjugating English verbs hi French. Students break open a piiiata and scramble for the falling candy. Latin students study Roman history and dread Latin poems. Or Madame McClelland surprises everyone with an unusual rule about placing adjectives behind nouns, but she also kindly tells the class about the twenty exceptions. Language students discover the romance French, the liveliness of Spanish, the solemn dignity ot Latin. Th«J become part of another country’s culture, its history, its people, and language.

MATH REQUIRES Geometry students eoncentrate on the learning of theorems. Tlie days of one plus one and three times three are gone forever. As life has become more complex, so has math. Now encountered are negative infinitives, logarithms, cosines and functions. Counting on the fingers is not only childish, but impossible. This year, RHS students saw the departure of a math teacher who really “knew her stuff.” Her wry sense of humor and her timely remarks made her a favorite at Radford High School. It is therefore fitting that they dedicate this poem to that teacher. Miss Virgie Keith. We hear that you are leaving, to earn your Ph.D. And that you’ll be a scholar of very higli degree. We must confess we ' re sorry to sec you go away . . . For who will teach us FORMULAS and guide us when we stray? Your little written lessons, all of us will miss. But we do promise one thing, and that one thing is this . . . We never will forget you, though we stray far and near. And through our lives, all of us will always plrslverf:. Jeannie Hayden tries her hand a teaching. Miss Keitli slices farewell cake, wearing the orchid given her by the senior math students.

The transformation of oneself into a unique character. Drama. Excitement. Adventure. Uncertainty. This is tlie expression of life . . . with all its spirit, its action, and its passion. “Knit one, pearl two ...” .says Dave McCardle. Tim Nester acts out emotional scene in “The Brick and the Rose.” Chorus members take a quiz. A MEANS Susan Jeffries and Jeanne I lincluiin utili .e their artistic talents. “Who says boys can ' t sew?” queries Barry Hayden. OF EXPRESSION Art students Stevie Altizer and Chipper McFarland feel that old Christmas Spirit. I “Not another ball in the rafters!” moans Ron Davidson (center). i 1 It begins with exercises. Rocking chair. Windmill. Jumping jacks. And ends with tlie satisfaction of energy spent in spirited competition. Much is gained. The toning of muscles. The sharpening of the eye. The quickening of reflexes. The building of stamina. The mind is conditioned as well as the body. The sense of fellowship as a part of the team. The determination to top one’s own performance. The learning of optimism when the chips arc down. The power of resolute mind over fatigued body. For underclassmen, two days a week are devoted to the study of personal health and driver’s training. Practical knowledge in these areas help prepare the students for the not-so-distant future. Juniors and seniors rate the privilege of gym PH five days a week.

Frances Hopkins and Susan Smitli perform a Hying angel. Beware-student driver! The water fountain becomes a popular commodity after P.E. BOBCAT ENERGY I I ‘i , I I Man’s curiosity. That’s what started it all. A desire to know why an apple fell down and not up. Why the sun disappeared at dusk. Why a cow could not give birth to a pig or vice versa. Because of that insatiable curiosity, man, since the early cavedweller,.has carried on a quest to fathom the mysteries of his environment. Through the study of chemistry, biology, physics and earth-space science, RHS students may explore the concepts that man, in his million years on this planet, has discovered. He may witness the miracle of cell respiration. He may discover for himself the atomic theory. He may explore the macrocosm of the universe or the microcosm of the atom. He may continue man’s diligent search for tlie secrets of life. “Some days, the formaldehyde gets to me!” laments Miss Jennings. lliology students learn about biological clocks. 104 MAN’S CURIOSITY . . .

History classes delve into the Revolutionary War to experience pride and wounded defeat. An exam question reads, “Give the course of the Civil War.” RHS seniors find themselves temporarily married for the purpose of filing income tax returns. A sudden illness grips the school the day government term papers are due. From the mysterious existence of the cave dweller to the hectic life-style of urban man, students observe the evolution of society. A student may perceive the ironies of the Crusades or see the horrors of the Reign of Terror. He may seek the Fountain of Youth with Ponce de Leon or catch the first glimpse of the New World from Columbus’ ship. He may come to know the despair and poverty of the Great Depression. He may understand the moods and events of times other than his own. What is to be gained from this dreaming of past, this study of old ideas? An uncertain future faces today’s student. The bomb. Overpopulation. Viet Nam, Arms control. Pollution. Drugs. How could these modern problems possibly relate to those of times so far removed? It is the lesson of history that man’s dilemma is timeless. Mi.ss Beavers thinks liistory is fun! 107 I EXPANDED Students work on electronics projects. This year RHS, in cooperation with Vo-Tech, initiated a new vocational program. Included were courses in practical nursing, electrical wiring, carpentry, and machine shop. Also offered were four years of home economics and a course in industrial arts. Through this program, students were given the opportunity to pursue specific career interests and develop technical skills. Mr. Robbins explains blue prints. “Now let me see ...” muses Dennis Hunter. John Smith and other seniors concentrate on mechanical drawing. Shop student is hard at work. VOCATIONAL PROGRAM Bruce Gray-working?! Shop student learns the importance of accurate measurment. “If I had a hammer ...” quips Bobby VVoolwine. Under expanded home ec program, girls study child care. Mr. Beainer helps a student with percent problems. SOMETIMES MAKES THE TEACHER THE DIFFERENCE Coach Absher addresses the Kiwanis Club. “Did you do your homework?” questions Mrs. Dye. Ill ACTIVITIES Maybe the band was a bit too loud. Or the decorations drab. But you were with your favorite person and that made everything okay. The “soul clap” reverberated from the gym walls. Again you saw the faces, but they were somehow different. They existed outside the familiar beige budding. They attended club conferences. They got psyched to the beat of “Booker T. and the M.G.’s.” They went sleigh-riding on silvery winter nights. And suddenly, you had things to look back on. Sharing your 6:00 A.M. moods with a carful of kids en route to a district conference. Practicing cheers on a blue July evening. Eating a jelly and ant sandwich on a club picnic. And by some mysterious process, in the involvement of it all, you discovered yourself. IMAGES of Activities 113 CAPTURING IMAGES OF RHS OAK LEAF: 1 . Gail Warren 2. Libby Coughlin 3. Katie Krayer 4.

Jump higher. Be better. Something that the shiny face and aching body couldn’t squelch. For every minute of glorious triumph, there were a hundred minutes of unglorious drilling and exercise. But it was somehow worth all that. You turned on to the coach’s pep talk. You dug in at the starting block. You took your stance in the batter’s box. You soared skyward for the basketball. The roar of the crowd was secondary to the roar in your head. You learned self-discipline. The spirit of competition. The will to win. And once you have those three things, there’s no stopping you. In sports. Or in life. 161 CATS TAKE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP 1st Row-1, to r, Gary Vest. Doug Barton. Dennis Hunter, Mike Singleton, Kenny Kimbleton, Mason Cole.

TENNIS TEAM BECOMES NEW RIVER CHAMPS- AGAIN! 163 GOLF TEAM ENJOYS SUCCESSFUL SEASON The ’69 golf team, under the coaching of Mr. Geoffrey Kerr, enjoyed a successful season. Playing a schedule of seven matches, the Cats finished 4-3. The top four for the team were Tim Albright, Craig Allen, John Fisher, and Jimmy Crews. Also on the team were Stanley Moorehouse, David Coleman, Steve Coleman, and Donnie Duncan. The Cats won matches against C-burg, GW, and Hillsville; losing matches were against Galax, Giles, and Blacksburg. One highlight of the season came when Tim Albright won a point from Blacksburg’s Mark Long, who had not been scored against all year.

Terrance Delaney lays it up as J.B. Collins watches. The Cats go to work against the Dukes of Dublin High. 169 Coach Paul Hall has “confidential discussion” with an official. The season was supposed to have been one of rebuilding for the Bobcats, who had lost several starters and a coach. In fact, the Cats had lost two coaches-one before the school year had even begun. But under the leadership of assistant principal Carl Hostetter, the team went to work. Although a preseason poll put the Cats in third place, preceeded by Blacksburg and Pulaski, they earned for themselves a second place finish for the regular season by defeating the Indians and the Orioles once each. The Cats’ victory over the first -place Pulaski team was the first defeat for the Orioles. Paced by starters Dickie Wall, Dave McCardle, Barry Hayden, Robbie Gardiner, and Doug Barton, the Bobcats posted a 14-4 record for the regular season, and upset Pulaski to become the tournament champions. (Sec new section on JV and Varsity tournaments.) Head Coach Carl Hostetter performs the twist after the Cats’ upset over Pulaski. 170 CATS POST OVERALL RECORD - 18-5!

John Pierce, a junior, had the height and determination to come through for RHS. Dave McCardle, a sophomore, was a starter who played a well-rounded game. HUSTLINGEST TEAM IN THE WORLD” Mike Price, a junior, contributed hustle and speed. Dickie Wall, leading scorer for the Cats, was perhaps the main factor in the ’69-70 season.

TOURNAMENTS r Sometimes things happen that make you feel good about people . . . and about life in general. Sometimes you get a special feeling that comes with being a part of something that’s bigger than you. And that’s the way it was at the New River District basketball tournaments. It was a feeling that began before the first game was won and did not end when the Cats were down by three points in the Blacksburg game with only seconds left. It was a feeling that said, “You can do it. Bobcats, you can do it!” when the Cats trailed Pulaski by twelve points. It was a feeling that had more to do with a team than with a trophy. RHS has always had good school spirit, but the students really outdid themselves this time. The Tech Coliseum was alive with the sound of Bobcats who cared. Perhaps the most gratifying response came from the townspeople of Radford, who turned out full-force to support their team. “Two Bits” brought a response of waving arms and a deafening roar that the New River District will not soon forget. It was a time to remember . . . Images of a championship team. RHS JV’S WIN FIRST JV BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The JV basketball team combined poise, agility, and determination to capture the first JV tournament championship. The event, held at Christiansburg High School, pitted Pulaski against George Wythe and Blacksburg against Radford for the first night’s action. The RHS JV’s, who had finished first in the regular season, defeated the Little Indians and faced the George Wythe JV’s in the finals on Friday night. With teamwork and spirit, the Cats emerged victorious, defeating GW by a ten-point margin. The championship climaxed an outstanding season for the JV Bobcats, whose total record stood at 18 - 1 . Bobcats Biff Medlin, Terrance Delaney and Thomas Greene proudly receive hard-earned trophy 196 NEVER GIVE UP” ATTITUDE BRINGS HOME A CHAMPIONSHIP! Dickie Wall, who scored the winning basket, cuts down the nets. For three unbelievable, unforgettable nights the Radford Bobcats gave it all they had. And in return for their efforts they received a trophy and a reputation for being the “hustlingest team in the world.” It began Thursday niglit when the Cats, entering the tournament in second place with a 14-4 record, thrashed the Green Wave of Narrows, 57—31. The team then faced Blacksburg in Friday night ' s competition. The Cats knew that this would be the real test, for the Indians had been in every championship game since the creation of the New River District. The game proved to be a real thriller, when a bucket by Robbie Gardiner at the buzzer threw the game into overtime. After that, the Cats were in control and accomplished the “impossible”, beating Blacksburg by a score of 58—54. The championship game between the Bobcats and first-place Pulaski was another hair-raiser. With seven seconds left, the Cats were down by one point with the ball out-of-bounds. The pass went to Dick Wall, who scored on a left-handed layup as the RHS crowd became hysterical. Cries of “We’re number ONE!” resounded as the Cats received the coveted trophy and cut down the nets. The team then entered regional competition against Powell Valley Higli School and won easily, 67—53. In the next game, the Cats were defeated by Langston, a powerful team with an obvious height advantage. But RHS had nothing to be ashamed of. When Dickie Wall stepped forward to receive the season’s second trophy, for runner-up in the region. Bobcat fans raised the roof. The “hustlingest team in the world” had come through for RHS. 199 Pulaski’s Shrewsberry lays it up as Dickie Wall waits for a rebound. DICKIE WALL IS UNANIMOUS Dave McCardle demonstrates his belief in “heads-up basketball. 200 Radford’s Dickie Wall, top scorer, shows how it’s done. Robbie Gardiner and B-burg’s Smith have a collision in overtime thriller. John Fisher scores and draws a foul in Narrows contest. ALL - DISTRICT CHOICE 201 HOW TO SPEND YOUR HARD - EARNED CASH C C.
