'Ma The Dean's Quartet harmonizes in singing melodies from way back. Singing The Tavern in the Town, Dean Thomas Dixon, Dean Paul Foster, Mr. Dean Egge, and Dean Hartwell Phillips participate in the Awards Assembly. Elected by the Senior Class, Coach Howard Mack accepts the Teacher of the Year Trophy from Mrs. Deborah J. Mayberry, the 1974 recipient. West Side Story, set to music by Alice Cooper, becomes modernized in the one-act play called School 's Out. Kirk Law sings about the problems of growing older as he pantomimes one of Alice Cooper's former hits, I'm 18, and I Don't Know What I Want. Seniors rate: then celebrate at assemblies As shadows grew longer, the count- down grew shorter. May's calendar bulged as clubs ended their year, and the school's activities wound down. At the annual Awards Assembly, students claimed trophies, plaques, and certificates. Mrs. Roma Gustin proved she was entirely too young to retire as she pounded the keys of a honky-tonk piano, and students gave her not one, but two standing ova- tions. The selection of Coach John H. fHowdyD Mack as Future Teachers of America's Teacher of the Year drew another hearty round of applause. The HDeans,, Quartet serenaded the assembly, barbershop-style.

gl f f W touch of culture that most students could understand and like, added Kirk Law. The mood changed from strings to straw as girls treated their guys to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Almost 150 students dressed in denim cutoffs and bibbed overalls danced dogpatch style to tape-recorded music. lt was a night of rockin' and rollin' excite- mentf' said Dana Padgett. The mood again shifted as contes- tants on Klassroom Kwiz spun the wheel of fortune and cracked Blue- stone Senior High School, 130 to 110. The next week, the wheel proved fickle as Fleming lost to Freeze High School 170-160. Classical strings entertain students during a seri- ous assembly. Concentrating on his music, Jeff Moore, a member of the Roanoke City String Orchestra, plays Brian's Song. Straw scattered across the cafetorium floor sets the mood for the Sadie Hawkins Dance sponsored by the yearbook staff. Resting under one of the trees in Dogpatch, U.S.A., David Key waits for the taped music to resume. Washing cars on a wet Saturday afternoon in May, Cheryl Cromer helps the French Club to raise money for its treasury. Q Spring-27

I L z fi Key thought the faculty entertain- ment was a highlight of the year. 4'They should do it more oftenf' he said. Mid-May also found seniors laugh- ing, crying, and cheering together one last time. The Alma Mater never sounded so good as when we belted it out at the senior assembly, said Rosie Richardson. Some seniors cele- brated their togetherness by running through the goalposts and caroling through the halls. g'People might have thought we were crazy, but we were together, and it meant some- thing to us, remarked Denise Wright. Juniors entertain seniors at the Beta Club Banquet at the Oasis Restaurant with skits pertaining to school. Watching the Twelve Years of School , the audience wonders what will happen next. Rolling up their pant legs during a break, students at the Human Relation Council's workshop at Camp Fincastle take advantage of the cool water. During the workshop, members of the Council discussed various problems at Fleming. Showing senior spirit in the last pep assem- bly, the Class of '75 gathers together to celebrate, with mixed feelings, the upcom- ing graduation. fi ,Q-Av... ...,qPx,. ..L.,i4lff 'TI '.-Q--ff , K M V. is t... 7 5 5? 5 'ores as Y -Fw M Y , 1 ,
