Our educa- tion system provides the proving- :ground for the inquisitive mind. For twelve years students are : given the opportunity to seek 1 knowledge in the schools of t America. In these develop- er mental years concepts of man |==-and his universe are formed. - “Educational freedom provides |f� Pthe key which will unlock the future. 7he 1966 71 nnuaf Staff invites you to pee A into Past TKemories Editor Donald Stowers Assistant Editor Deborah Davis Business Manager Mary Davis Copy Editor Janice Lambert Subscription Editor Sandra Havens Sports Editor Linda Stowers Art Editors Henrietta Taylor Carlyn Wright Photography Editors Garland Havens Starr Umbarger (Susan (Sancfs 1964-1963 Cay felles District ac5” C)Damps BACK ROW: Linda Tuggle, Janice Lambert, Linda Stowers, Claudette More- head.

The two semiformal dances and the baby contest sponsored by the club provided the money to send the thirteen students to Richmond. The club attempts to be of service to the school also, and it is in this spirit that it makes available to any student the paper-back, inexpensive books sold by the TAB Book Club. Each year at the end of school the club honors outstanding students with the presentation of scholastic letters, and it honors its own Seniors with a gold tassel to wear and a gold seal for their diplomas. To a group of Senior Beta members, these snapshots are much more than just scenes around the State Cap- itol. They are reminders of three exciting days and ways just as they seem. two sleepless nights in March, 1965. The occasion was the annual State Beta Convention, held that year in Richmond. On a cold winter day when one must ride a school bus with no heater for eight hours, the easiest thing to do is sleep. Except for an occasional Rook game, sleep was the order of the day that Sunday on the way back from Richmond. The students pictured here did man- age to line up to say cheese” at the lunch stop at Lynchburg, and at Basti an as shown in the pictures at the far left and right. The annual Beta picnic was held at the end of the school term at Gross's picnic grounds. Entertainment included swimming in the cold, cold creek, playing softball on a diamond with a very slippery second base, and musical (?) numbers. We knew Brenda Andrews had Is Deena picking her teeth? a big mouth, but . . . And is Judy displaying what Deena is finding? “ jSamBi” 1964-65 Sc Aoo Pei Bambi, a little doe who was found in the woods early last fall by hunters, became in- terested in school at Rocky Gap because she loved children. She enjoyed sliding down the halls and going into the classrooms at will. Her favorite spot was the com- mercial room where she stood amazed at the clicking sound of typewriters and soon was brave enough to touch the keys with her nose. TEACH BAMBI TO TYPE ??? 'I would not hesitate to say that the United States is the finest society on a grand scale that the world has thus far produced Alfred Morth Whitehead Our Principal Congratulations to the Annual Staff, their competent Sponsor, Mrs. Jessie Kegley. and the many others who have helped to make this 1965-66 yearbook possible.

We might not always have been commendable, failure might have seemed our destiny, yet, through your faithfulness, interest, and pleadings, we have marched onward until, at last, our goal has been attained. We have received a valid education which will always be invaluable to us. If we continue to uphold the high standards of ethics, scholarship, leadership, and citizenship taught us, we should have no trouble in making future contributions to our school, community, and country. c5 eniors ot ’66 GARLAND HAVENS and MARY DAVIS DONALD STOWERS and SHELBY STOWERS SUSAN SANDS and DARRYL DUNN CLASS OFFICERS: Carlyn Wright, Brenda Hoosier, Judy Harless and Garnet Sarver Barry Pauley Janice Lambert Brenda Hoosier Starr Umbarger Roland DeHart Teresa Archie Doris Carlyn Tuggle Caudill Williams Wright Judy David Claudette Phillip Harless Leftwich Morehead Dunford Teddy Joyce Steve Julia Bradshaw Kelley Cochrane Myers David JoAnn Patricia O’dell Morehead Jackson French White James Marcia Deborah Kenny Lundy Harman Kitts Lambert Larry Jackie James Darryl Stowers Clark Starks French SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Sandra Havens, Clifford Burton, Linda Hoosier, R.
