SCOTT COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY GATE CITY, VIRGINIA RYE COVE HIGH CLINCHPORT, VA. iiVK cove; HIGH SCHOOL 1977 VOL. XXIII SCOTT COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY GATE an, VIRGINIA WE’VE ONLY 2 JUST BEGUN TO LIVE WHITE LACE PROMISES 4 A KISS LUCK AND WE’RE ON Jimmy Lee Adams All the long, hard, and boring years, I finally made it. Samuel Joseph Arwood Only some of us learn from other people’s mistakes. The rest of us have to be the other people. Dora Ernestine Amburgey Life is short and so am I. Darlena Kathern Baldwin I have no yesterdays; Time took them away. Tomorrow may not come. But I have today. Gary Allen Arwood Those who live happily ever after, usually aren’t after much. Elizabeth Diane Baldwin The saddest thing in the world is for some- one to say “It might have been,’’ because feelings are not like faucets you can turn on and off. Kassie Marie Baldwin From somewhere inside of me, It came in- stead of words — The only way I have found To say good-by to you, Is with a single, silver tear. Karen Bishop Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate. Carolyn Sue Barnette Love is like a flower, it grows; it blossoms, and it fades away, but its memory remains. Vanessa Lynn Bishop If a man does not keep pace with his com- panions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Linda Kay Berry As the dew to the blossom, the bird to the bee, as the scent to the rose, are these memories to me. Mary Lou Bledsoe Friendship is just a little word, it’s the people who make it big. Patsy Darlene Bledsoe To accomplish great things; We must not only act but also dream, Not only plan but also believe. Rita Lynn Brickey If our thoughts are for only tomorrow, to- day will pass us by. Thomas Elmer Bledsoe School is like a prison; once you’re in you’ll never get out. Odell Brotherton Hold on to what you’ve got, for if you lose it, you may never find another like it. Mark Anthony Bowen The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all. Sandra Gayle Chapman The trouble with some people is that they won’t admit their faults. I’d admit mine — if I had any. 10 Joyce Ann Cobb Weeping may endureth for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Linda Kay Dingus Imagination was given to man to com- pensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor, to console him for what he is. Ella Jo Cumbo Love is like a pot of gold — hard to get and hard to hold. Nancy Thompson Dishner Keep on smiling — it makes people won- der what you’ve been up to. Danny Ray Davis Resisting temptation is usually just a mat- ter of putting it off until nobody’s looking. David Allen Dockery It is better to be quiet and wise than to be loud and foolish. 11 Larry Glen Dockery How a man plays the game shows some- thing of his character; how he loses shows all of it. Lonnie Kenneth Falin Grow angry slowly — there’s plenty of time. Martin Kimber Duncan He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass. Donnie Ray Flores No es oro todo lo que reluse. All that shines is not gold. Richard Carroll Eck To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. Donna Rose Fritz The Bible is a window in this prison-world through which we may look into eternity. 12 Robert Montgomery Gibson My time is valuable. Why study? Jackie Dean Harvey Resisting temptation is easier when you think you’ll probably get another chance later on. Sandra Faye Gilliam The moment may be temporary, but the memory is forever. James Edward Hill Who says all good things must come to an end? I’ll still be around. Debbie Bledsoe Greene Live thee day by day, don’t plan thy fu- ture. George Hobbs, Jr. At times it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you’re a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. 13 David Michael Hood So that I may earn my livelihood I have to be a lively Hood. Cathy Diane Jones I finally got it all together; but I forgot where I put it. Carolyn Noe Horton Learn today to cope with tomorrow. Elizabeth Ivalee Jones No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Jackie Jessee Be young, be happy, be anything in life you want to be. Dennis McKinley Lane Time isn’t worth wasting so destroy all clocks. CRASH! CRASH! 14 Rhonda Darlene Lane Do not boast about what you have done or what you are going to do; do it and let it speak for itself. Dennis Ray Osborne Nothing is so strong as gentleness; yet, there is nothing so gentle as real strength. Daniel Leroy Neeley I’m a perfect creation of God. Too bad I was the only one. Randall Dennis Qualls Due to lack of interest tomorrow has been cancelled. 15 Charles Allen Rhoton Why be difficult when with a little more effort you can be impossible. Sandra Gail Rhoton Think about the past enough to learn from it, about the future enough to pre- pare for it, but live so as to get the most from the present. Billy Wayne Rhoton Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can get by with tonight. Roger Keith Roach Give a smile to someone passing. There- by making his morning glad; It may greet you in the evening when your own heart may be sad. Lester Wayne Rhoton God so loved the world that he created me. Carol Ann Robbins To live for today and to love for tomorrow is the wisdom of a fool. 16 Cathy Lynn Robbins Plan ahead — it wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark. Sandra Kaye Shepard Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow. Edward Amos Robbins III Never insult an alligator until after you have crossed the river. Chris David Shupe Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true. Darrell Clay Roberts Today is the tomorrow that we worried about yesterday. Alisa Darlene Sloan Of all the pain, the greatest pain. It is to love, but love in vain. 17 Deborah Colleen Sloan I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. Sherry Lynn Smith Happiness is like a butterfly, The more you chase it. The more it eludes you. Danny Buren Sloan If we learn by our mistakes. I’m getting a fantastic education. Linda Rose Stacey Too young for love? Ah, say not so! Too young? Too young? Ah, no! no! no! Denny Owen Sloan Please be patient. God isn’t finished with me yet. James Edward Stanley In the cycle of life, school is a depression. 18 Ella Mae Stewart Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. John Keith Tomlinson Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. Margaret Jane Thompson Happiness is not always measured in smiles. Danny Lee Watson When I works, I works hard; when I sits, I sits loose; and when I thinks, I falls asleep. Anthony Loyd Tipton Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember. Gary William Wilder Destroyed by improvements! 19 Charlene Kaye Williams ✓ I love you, Not only for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you. Steven Randall Darnell If you wrestle with a skunk, you smell like one. Not Pictured i i ] Friendship is a precious thing; a gift to prize and treasure. It outlines everything in life; an everlasting pleasure. Friendship is found in times of stress, and will help us through worry and danger. But, once in a while in the flash of a smile; there it is — in the face of a stranger. 20 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS SPONSORS PRESIDENT: Dennis Lane VICE-PRESIDENT: David Hood SECRETARY: Donna Fritz TREASURER: George Hobbs REPORTER: Kassie Baldwin I Mr. Osborne Mr. Templeton Mrs. Clark Mrs. McCown 21 SUB SPONSORS FRESHMEN SPONSORS Miss Mills Mrs. Osborne Mr. Qualls Mr. Brickey Mrs. Scott Mr. Kelly Mr. Winegar Mr. Brown SOPHOMORE SPONSORS JUNIOR SPONSORS Miss Highfiel Mrs. Kiser Mrs. Pease Mrs. Hammett Mr. Dishner Mr. Calhoun Mr. Lane Mr. Baker 22 President: Lee McDavid Vice-President: Sue Hobbs Secretary: Martin Sloan Treasurer: Marian Sawyer Reporter: Regina Bishop J U N I George Adams Vada Adams Raymond Akers Karen Alle n Pamela Arwood Jackie Austin Karen Bishop Kathy Bishop Regina Bishop Kate Bledsoe Rita Bowen Cynthia Brickey O oi Carroll Carter Corkey Clendenin Carl Cobb R.
