It is with a deep sense of gratitude, respect, and affection that we dedicate this the eleventh volume of the Rambler to the first class of 1925 and to the last graduating class of 1964 of Renan High School. The Rambler Staff IN THE BEGINNING . . . So it ' s a school Years of suffering feminine, despair, elation, eviles, and wisdom have shaped the curricula and aims of Renan High School. The span of years has seen many changes in the school and offerings, but the students whom she serves is the same weird combination of serious intent and gay abandon that she has always been. Here, we will look at our school in a backward glance, trying to recapture the many past faces of our students revealing the intensity of their lives, their depth of feeling, their affinity for the smile and the friendly word. As you glance through these pages these people alternately in tune and at odd with life. Their faces strained for the past difficult note, solemn in the face of an experiment, happy with the sheer pleasure of a windy day and sports, are the faces of Renan High School. HISTORY OF RENAN So far as the people of this community know, Renan had never been heard of until the nineteenth century. The community had a one-room school building, known as the Harmony Grove School, located where the high school was located 29 years ago. The first teacher, that anyone in this community remembers, having taught in this school was Miss Mary Hubbard, in 1883. She later married Mr. Easley. A few of the other teachers that taught in this one-room building were: Mrs. Fannie Lewis, Mr. Christopher Wright, and Miss Bell Wooding. Later this school acquired another room, but was known still as the Harmony Grove graded school. Miss Bell Wooding and Miss Bessie Jones were teachers in this school. A few years later the school again increased in size, kept its name, but became a school of four rooms. In 1897 Dr. W. A. Brumfield built a store in the community, the one that is still used. In his mind he was un¬ decided as to a name for it. Some thought was given to Five Springs because there are five springs near the store. Dr. Brumfield finally decided on Flint Hill. He intended opening a post office here, but when he wrote to the Post Office Department in Washington, there was another Flint Hill in the state . . The name Gladstone was also mentioned as a name for the store, but was discarded for the same reason as Flint Hill. Finally Renan was decided upon and a post office opened about 1900. At that time it was pronounced Renon and was named after the French author, Ermest Renan. Six rooms were added to the Harmony Grove graded school and its name changed to Renan High School. In January of 1926 Renan High School became an accredited high school. Mr. E. L. Dupey, Jr., was at that time principal at Renan. Teachers were Mrs. E. L. Dupey, Jr., Miss Maria Dove, Miss Myra Farmer, Miss Belle Wooding, Miss Inex Farmer, Mrs. W. P. Johnson. During the nine years that Mr. Dupey was at Renan, we always had a Banner League. In the year 1918, the first highway was put through Renan. In 1934 this highway was hard surfaced. Mr. O. H. Kelly of Renan swapped deeds of land and with the aid of the W.P.A. a new high school was erected at Renan, 700 yards south of the old one, and on the highway. In the years some of our teachers made the choice to stay at Renan.

THE EARLY MAN Way back in the beastly land, I ' ll tell you of the early man, And how he conquered many things, Took strips of hide and used for strings. His clothes were made of toughest hide, Sewed on top and up the side. They didn ' t have things like we to sell, But it looks as though they made it very well. -Pauline Booker, class of 1942 Administration PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY SCHOOLS ADMINISTRA TION Mr. James H.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA FFA Officers-FIRST ROW-Pres. Billy Tucker, V. Pres. David Hutcherson, Sec. Melvin Dudley, SECOND ROW-Advisor, Mr. Carty, Treasurer: Vickey Crews, Sentinel: Leslie Moon, Reporter: Oscar Robertson, Parliamentarian; Jackie Andrews. The emblem of the Future Farmers of America is significant and meaningful in every detail. It is made up of fine symbols: the owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge; the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun is emblematic of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to cooperate; the cross section of an ear of corn represents common agricultural interest, since corn is native to America and grown in every state; the eagle is indicative of the natonal scope of the organization. In previewing some of the history of the Future Farmers of America at Renan High School the Renan Chapter began in 1931 with the following members: Roy Smith, President; Wilbur Kelley, Vice- President; J. T. Barksdale, Irvin Blanks, Ray Booker, Secretary; Billie Booker, Franklin Brumfield, Massie Fergerson, Herbert Hut¬ cherson, Jesse Kelley, Thurlow Kelley, George Layne, Ryland Layne, Noel Mays, Jesse Moon, Robert Moon, John Robertson, Ray Tread¬ way, Vernon Tucker, Paul Watlington, Mack Witcher, David Wood, John Worsham. Each member carried two projects giving them a good start toward farming. On the National and State level we have done very well, Bobby Shelton became a member of the National Chorus. Wealsohave Wayne Moon, Gerald Edwards, R. J. Rowland, who have attended the National FFA Convention. We have had the Outstanding Chapter Award for the past 4 years. The following men have received the State Farmer Degree during the last 5 years: R. J. Rowland, J. D. Moon, J. T. Moon, Gene Hutcherson, Jerry Robertson, Billy Shelton, John Waller, Gerald Edwards, Kenneth Hutcherson. The FFA-FHA banquet and prom each year is always one of the school ' s highlights.

The Renan chapter has been affiliated with the state and national for 15 years starting in 1948 with Miss Ollie Moorefield as the advisor. There were 28 members then with Jane Marie Watlington as president. Over the years the chapter has grown in quantity and quality, it has increased its goals and has carried out many worth while projects which have helped students, the fac¬ ulty, and the community. This year, 1963-64, there are 58 members with Mrs. Elizabeth Booker as the advisor. We, as FHA members, are striving to make this our last year the most successful.

This is the Beta Club, symbolic of a- chievement, character and leadership. Mem¬ bers of our organization are encouraged to strive for higher character--through school and community participation; for greater achievement--through meeting a average as required by our club and through reaching for higher education; and for leadership--through experiences with our club and federation. Our club at Renan began in 1937 with great enthusiasm. This year our organization, which furnishes both the President and Secretary of our Federation, has consentrated a great deal on the idea of higher education. Some further projects the club has be¬ come involved in this year are a White Christmas Program , a Beta Ball, induction service, office aids, Beta Courtesy Award and of course our largest project of the year-- Publishing the Yearbook”.
