The Twin Springs Homecoming was staged on the night of September 24. To begin the festivities, the Royal Titan Band gave a welcoming performance. Then the “mighty” Titans sprang away to their game against the Garden Dragons. When half-time rolled about, the Homecoming attendants were announced by the Royal Titan Band’s “Music To Watch Girls By.” The queen, Miss Vickie Fugate, was crowned by Mr. Reasor. She was presented with roses and a kiss from the captain. Although the Titans were defeated, the ceremony was still a beautiful and memorable one.

Teresa Taylor - Senior attendant escorted by Bobby Elliott Linda Nickles - Senior attendant escorted by Jim Compton. 6 Homecoming attendants and floats Junior attendant - Teresa Blair escorted by Clifford Estep. Junior attendant - LaVerne Addington escorted by Gary Jennings. Well, It’s beginning to look like A . . . Preparation for homecoming included much hard work and dedi- cation from the students and teachers at Twin Springs. Many hours were put into making floats and planning the activ- ities which would take place in those exciting fun-filled moments. Although it was hard work, seldom before has any activity at T.S. had the co-operation, dedication, and spirit of so many students at the same time. There were those who worked their hearts out on floats, band members that practiced in the hot sun every day, cheerleaders who never ceased to encourage spirit, and football players who carried the tense, worried look of the game ahead.

Past years of experience have proven to Titan football players that determination, co-operation, and experience pays off. The Titans used the fundamentals of the game with enthusiastic energy and produced outstanding results. Our football players were a great group of guys who gave it all they had the entire season. They produced the best record Twin Springs has ever had in history, with four wins, five losses, and one tie. It took a lot of work and dedication, but you’ll never hear a Titan football player say “It wasn’t worth it.” SCOREBOARD Twin Springs 0 Rye Cove 34 Twin Springs 0 Pocahontas 0 Twin Springs 20 ' Hay si 12 Twin Springs 0 Garden 26 Twin Springs 0 Honaker 6 Twin Springs 12 Hurley 6 Twin Springs 12 Surgoinsville 0 Twin Springs 12 Ervington 6 Twin Springs 0 St. Paul 33 Twin Springs 12 Lebanon 33 MANAGERS: Kendall Keith and Randy Byington The Spirit of Big Red How about leaving my pants on?

Every halftime presentation was launched with the band playing “Hang ’Em High”, and that’s just what the band wanted the football team to do. In September the band participated in the Washington County Tobacco Festival parade held at Abingdon, where they received second place in band competition. Before football season ended the band became involved in a heated conflict. Students and faculty members alike plunged heatedly into the dramatic clash of temperaments, between the band and admini- stration. Later, unfounded accusations, copious tears, and unbridled tempers burst forth, unleashing a torrent of emotions. However, as a result of responsible actions by students, parents, and faculty the conflict subsided. Undaunted by their conflicting trials the band went on to present a Christmas concert tour for surrounding elementary school and T.S. In February the band went to concert festival at Damascus. Rifle Squad - Maggie Sweeney, Kay Mathes, Susie Howington, and Linda Dockery. 14 Forward March! Toot, Toot, Squeak! Just one more line to go 15 Captain - Linda Nickels Seldom could there be another five like our Titan cheerleaders. They are a dedicated, energetic and lively gang. These five girls cheered the Titans on to victory no matter how rough the going was and not once did they give up. Their hearts were filled with determination to boost the “mighty Titans” on to victory, and that’s exactly what they did. Sometimes they had just cause to be dis- couraged, but not once did the “Mighty Titan Mooses” give up. Their yelling, clap- ping, and cheering made the sports season complete. Wherever the Titans went, Linda, Teresa, Charlotte, Connie, and Anita fol- lowed close behind. Although the last of the Charlotte L. Dockery mooses, Teresa, Charlotte, and Linda will graduate this year, the spirit and traditions they gave our school will continue on for- ever.

Cheerleaders this year have really displayed school spirit and made everyone aware they were “Titan” cheerleaders. Their very presence at most of the games indicated their faith in the J.V. Titans and their duty to boost them on to victory. Not once did these six girls quit yelling and boosting the boys on. At the pep rallies, they were great and got much enthusiasm from the students. Every pep rally was booming with Titan spirit, thanks to the J.V. girls. The cheerleading squad for 1971-72 consisted of Barbara Flanary — Cap- tain, Patsy Mann - Co-Captain, Connie Jordon, Susan Horne, Janet Bevins, and Phyllis Stewart. Mrs. Elaine Scott was their sponsor. She pro- vided the girls with a lot of help, but their pep was provided from within. 17 J. V. BASKETBALL FRONT ROW: Larry Lane, Ricky Rudder, Doug Dingus, Kendall Keith, Donald Lucas, Timmy Hall. BACK ROW: James Easterling, Danny Howell, Roger Stapleton, Randy Hillman, Johnny Campbell, Donnie Bledsoe, Johnny Frasier, Howard Broadwater, Ronnie Babb, David Hillman, and Larry Hick. The spirit of the J.V. Basketball team was some- times startling. The members of the team were deter- mined to play each game as well as they could. It takes teamwork if any team is to be successful and these Titan Juniors sure had it. Throughout a season which had Titan fans on the edge of their seats, the J.V. Basketball team proved its capability to someday fill the upcoming vacancies of our Varsity team. Each team member contributed something which helped the team just a little more on its neverending fight for victory. Practice and experience increased the faith and stability of the team which was steadily moving toward that goal of winning.

In May, four special education students: Fred Dockery, Joe Dixon, Eddie Strong, and Paul McConnell accompanied by Coach Terry Roberts, traveled to Tazewell to compete in the Special Olympics District Competition. Each student competed in various events in his own age group. Fred Dockery received three first place awards: softball throw, 254’, 50-yard dash, 5’9”, broad jump, 7’2”. Joe Dixon won first place in the 300 yard run. Both a first and second place award was received by Eddie Strong for the softball throw, 184’, and the broad jump, 6’9” respectively. Again one of our students was awarded first place for the softball throw as Paul McConnell tossed it 142’. All four students competed in state competition with 2500 other students at the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Special Olympics at Alexandria on June 3. Fred Dockery placed second in both the softball throw and the 50-yard dash, and Joe Dixon placed second in the standing broad jump.

The Mountain Echo Staff put in long, hard tedious hours in order to complete the ' 12 annual. When the going got tough, there were still those faithful few who were determined to meet the deadlines and keep the “show running.” The members of the staff are chosen by the faculty members at Twin Springs. Each staff member has a certain job to contribute to the final product of the ' 12 Mountain Echo. During the fall, members of the staff sold ads to the local merchants. The money from selling ads provides the main funds to produce the annual. The staff also sponsored several sock hops after the ballgames in order to provide a little more money. The sponsors, Mrs. Faye Garrett and Mrs. Beth Culbertson, put in many dedicated hours to help the annual staffs production.

He has seen many facets of our student body’s character this year. He has seen anger and happiness, disdain and joy, rebellion and laughter, and through it all, Mr. Reasor remained a man the students could admire. The strong character which was shown by Mr. Reasor was one of the many qualities which gained the respect of our student body. Few students realize the pressures and respon- sibilities that are carried by the administration. For Mr. Reasor’s concern and respect for the student body at T.S.H.S. we shall always be grateful. Assistant principal, and Guidance Counselor Mr. Horace Blackwell, assistant principal at Twin Springs, begins his job early each day when he accepts all of our “excuses” in his office during activity period. After this “worrisome task,” Mr. Blackwell tends to the daily hassel which occurs in every high school every day. Often after school one may see Mr. Blackwell on the football or baseball field and in the gym looking over the boys in practice for the coming competition. Mr. Blackwell has been very active in intramurals this year and the students find a friend in him for his interest in the activities here at Twin Springs. Mr. Horace Blackwell, Assistant Principal Mrs. Anne Dixon, guidance counselor, puts enthusiasm into her work guiding students at Twin Springs. It is a large responsibility to handle this job. Many of her daily chores include scheduling next years students in their courses, preparing students for college or employment, giving tests to judge each student’s potential, and giving advice on a problem someone may have. Mrs. Dixon is always on hand and willing to be of assistance when needed.

SER VICE PERSONNEL JoAnn Jennings, Helen Davidson, Sally Renfro, Ruth Dockery, and Ora Castle. Our lunchroom staff, consisting of: manager, Jo Ann Jennings, Ora Castle, Sally Renfro, Fern Jen- nings, Ruth Dockery, and Helen Davidson. They manage to run between 400 to 450 hungry students through the “chow” line every day. These women stuff us with tasty food, which we students think is the best you’ll find at any high school around. Occasionally, there’s a grumble because they don’t put dill pickles out everyday, but then, who’s ever heard of dill pickles with spaghetti! Our janitress, Mrs. Emogene Williams is constantly kept on the run seeing that our school is kept in “tip-top” shape. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have the res- ponsibility of supervising the NYC workers, who clean up daily after school. Ora Castle and Sally Renfro Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Williams 56 BUS DRIVERS Jack Odle, Lincoln Powers, C. E. Starnes, and Gamie Summey. Our bus drivers are a vital part of our school life although they are often forgotten. Besides taking students to and from school each day, these men have sacrificed their time to drive us to ballgames and school trips. In remembering the school year we must think of the bus driver to whom we owe much thanks. Howard Gilmer Junior Rose, Steve Culberson, and Jack Nickels. L. W.

SCA Representatives - Tommy Moore and Brenda Babb. Sponsors - Mrs. Theresa Bledsoe, Miss Sue Carter, Mr. Thomas Osborne, and Mr. Harold Douglas. The eighth grader is the true beginner at Twin Springs. Sometimes shy and backward, he often goes unnoticed in the crowd. However, he quietly observes the role a Twin Springs student is to play if his high school years are to be a success. He learns the importance that his stand will bring during the next four years. Being an eighth grader can be one of the most rewarding or terrifying experiences, for it is now that determines what the coming years will hold. This year, the eighth grade class has shown the quality of being part of the Twin Springs student body. They have eagerly participated in clubs, sports, and other school sponsored activities. The eighth grade student is entering an impor- tant phase of his life. The decision of being a success or failure is entirely his. Will he make a wise choice? 60 EIGHTH GRADE FAVORITES Jackie Wolfe and Stevie Collins Joy Fields, Homecoming attendant and Anthony Austin.

The Freshmen are the true beginners of the Twin Springs Students. Their tomorrow is before them, flawless and uncertain. Their actions this year will give them experience and knowledge that will last throughout their lifetime. A trail of memories will begin to follow them. Freshmen are ending their childhood and beginning a time where responsibility begins to enter into their actions. Our freshmen have shown their willingness to enter the mighty Titan spirit by enthusiastically join- ing the yelling at pep rallies and winning the spirit stick. Participating in sports has given them a feeling of belonging at Twin Springs, for Twin Springs truly belongs to them.

The Sophomores are the in-between class but there is nothing in-between about them. The sophomores have worked hard and accomplished a lot. Many of the sophomores hold important of- fices in clubs at Twin Springs and this year the Sophomore girls won the Girls Intramural Basket- ball Championship. Yes, the Sophomores have worked hard, but they are not totally serious for many times their laughter has filled the halls and helped make Twin Springs a “nice” place to be. 78 SOPHOMORE CLASS FAVORITES Danny Howell and Kay Mathes Brenda Carter, Homecoming attendant, and Eric Ashworth Eric Ashworth Ronnie Babb Ronnie Begley Donald Bledsoe Gary Broadwater Howard Broadwater Jane Butler Randy Byington Carolyn Cadlwell Janet Campbell 79 Craig Carter Brenda Castle Brenda Gillenwater, homecoming attendant and Johnny Frazier.

To be a member of the Junior class is an ac- complishment in itself. Each Junior is proud to be a part of the vivacious group who will soon be in the most cherished position of all students. This year the Juniors learned that success comes from working together. In projects, such as selling magazines, Christmas cards, and presenting a Junior play, every Junior had a part. Working together developed throughout the class, a strong sense of unity. Many Juniors have shown school spirit by par- ticipating in school activities. The Junior boys made up a strong important part of the football and basketball teams. Juniors also participated in activities and presentations of the clubs to which they belonged. Every member of the Junior class remembers yesterday, hopes for tomorrow but clearly lives for today. Junior favorites, Alice Sawyer and Gary Jennings.

On March 30 the Junior class presented “Something Borrowed Something Blue.” This three-act comedy illustrated the hil- arious incidents which can result when two socially ambitious women, Mrs. Julia Holland and Mrs. Ada Brewer, contrive to marry their son and daughter, Willie and Nancy. Things seem to be going well for the matchmakers until Bruce, Nancy’s long lost love, “comes back from the dead.” When it seems as though the situation can get no worse thing s suddenly change and a sur- prising climax yields the end of the story. I’m sure this will be the happiest honeymoon I’ll ever have! You’re so kind Mr. Holland. I don’t know how to begin to thank you. Er-What was that young man’s name again? Don’t tell that to me; Tell it to my mother! 92 Stop worrying. We’ll cross that bridge if we come to it. 93 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The Junior Class of Twin Springs High School request the pleasure of your company at the Junior-Senior Prom on Friday, April Twenty-first High School Gymnasium 8:00 o’clock r.s.v.p. 94 95 SENIORS President, Elaine Minton; Vice-President, Eddie Skeens; Secretary, Kathy Flanary; Treasurer, Vickie Fugate; Reporters, Kathy Quillen and Margaret Castle; Sponsors, Miss Carmen Stallard and Mrs. Jenniwood Reasor. We, the Seniors of 1972, arrived as eager fresh- men at T. S. proud of our status as high school students. Now we have reached the “today” as Seniors and any Senior could say “We’ve come a long way.” The Seniors of 1972 have always been a versatile, vivacious, and “carefree” group, but still in our own way we have achieved much. To begin our Senior year, we received our class rings. This was a joyful day for all because we received the token we had waited for that marked us as Seniors. In September came Homecoming and one of our Seniors, Vickie Fugate, was queen. Next, Teresa Peters was Fall Festival Queen. After the arousement of Homecoming and Fall Festival, the Senior play was centered upon. It was com- mended for the fun and laughter it brought to all. The Senior football players really whirled the way for the Titans. We came to T.S. thinking we had all the answers, but as our departure grows nearer, we find we have many questions. Our yesterday at T.S. began in 1968, but we, the 1972 Seniors of Twin Springs High, are looking forward to a wide- ranging tomorrow. Senior Favorites, Linda Hammonds and Larry Hill.

During the four years there was excitement, eagerness, laughter, pride, and sorrow. The Seniors of ’72 took the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, the victory and defeat as they came, all the while trying to help build the school spirit and trad- itions at Twin Springs. The Class of ’72 has been a unique class. It is hard to believe that we finally reached the goal that we constantly worked for and expectantly wished for. There is joy that the long hours of study and work are over and sorrow at having to part with our friends whom we have shared so many interesting and re- warding experiences. Graduation is a unique ex- perience, especially when one has such mixed emotions. We step into the future with much hesitation and uncertainty, but one thing is sure, we’ve only just begun. We will leave our teachers and our friends to go our separate ways but we will always be bound together by a link of memory. Hurry up now!!! Smile girls, I’m gonna snap it. Words of advice from Mr. Reasor to Seniors, “Celebrate, but be sure you make it home!” 16 White Lace and Promises , The Seniors march in Seniors stand while invocation is given A few Seniors have time to think about the whole thing. Rhonda Gillespie singing “You Must Have Faith” Me Graduating!! 117 A Kiss for Luck and. Vickie Fugate, Salutatorian, talks about reflections of the last twelve years. Virginia Sluss, Valedictorian, gives Seniors a thought about their step into the future. Mr. Ben Jennings gives commencement address. Mr. Wayne Brabson presents the Civitan Citizenship Award to Kathy Flanary. 18 We’re on our Way. ” Seniors bid their last goodbyes . . . it’s over. 119 THE GUY IN THE GLASS by: Dale Wimbro When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you “King” for a day Then go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that guy has to say For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the guy staring back from the glass He’s the fellow to please — never mind all the rest For he’s with you clear to the end And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult task If the guy in the glass is your friend You may be like Jack Horner and “Chisled” a plum And think you’re a wonderful guy But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum If you can’t look him straight in the eye You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you’ve cheated the guy in the glass FIRST VALLEY BANK Weber City Virginia SCOTT FARMERS CO-OP, INC.

WHITE AUTO STORE Editor’s Note Today began with people full of hope, faith, and determination to make the year 1971-72 at Twin Springs a rewarding and exciting one. Everyone worked hard in the various activities of T.S.H.S. Stu- dents and faculty alike were looking forward to to- morrow, but tomorrow came too soon. While everyone was so involved in their surroundings, the year went creeping by. We, the Seniors, can no longer look toward a tomorrow at T.S.H.S. — we can only look back on the memories. Instead, we must look for a tomorrow in the wide world which lies before us. I would like to express my appreciation, on behalf of the Mountain Echo Staff, to our principal, Mr. Reasor, the faculty, and the students for the cooperation they have given us. I would also like to thank the yearbook staff for all the hard work and time they have sacrificed to make this yearbook a success. Even though we have been through some discouraging circumstances, I think we can all say it has been fun! Many thanks to all and a special thanks to our sponsors for the patience and guidance they have shown us. 144 LONESOME PINE REGIONAL LIBRARY 3 1720 00280 4280
