Congratulations to Billy Johns, an outstanding Highland Springs High School alumnus who has been signed with the Chicago Cubs, a leading na­tional league baseball team.

Attributes Success to H.S. Johns, a former star halfback for

the Springer football team and first baseman during baseball season, at­tributes his recent signing to his ex­perience gained on Springer sports teams. Billy had been drafted a month prior to this, but somehow managed to evade the draftboard in order to sign with the Cubs. His reaction to all this was expressed as "hard to ex­plain"; yet, regardless of circum­stances, Johns has signed a bonus con­tract and will begin his try at a base­ball career when training begins in the spring.

California or Bust! Billy is leaving for California

around March 14th or 15th. He must be there on March 16th in order to start the spring month's training.

Billy Johns is an athlete whom

many teams were after! Not only did the Cubs ask to sign him, but also the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cleve­land Indians.

Past Coach Comments Coach Sorrell, Billy's baseball coach

for three years, had this to say. " I don't know anything about the con­tract Billy signed, but as far as po­tential goes, Billy certainly has it. He has speed, quick hands and wrists, a good arm and he can hit the long ball."

Coach Sorrell also stated that all the major league teams had seen Johns play at least one time.

Ifs A Duty . . . I t is hoped that with the coming

S.C.A. elections all students wil l participate and support the candi­dates of their choice. Springers, re­member the privilege is yours to make every vote count.

Davis Signs 'Soul Senders9; Theme Is Still Undiscovered

'Crisis Discussed In Classes

South Viet Nam Student Visits HS

Although the Prom chairmen and their committees have been working hard, no one knows what they are doing. The Class of '67 is really going all out to keep the theme a secret and so far have succeeded.

Barbara Cabell and Paula Tuns-tall have ordered five hundred invi­tations from the Childress Printing Company.

Jimmy Whitlow has inquired about the parachutes and hopes to get all white ones from the air base.

Cindy Council is planning the murals for the walls for her commit­

tee to draw and paint. Linda Keyser and Cindy have

made the design for the napkins and programs, and Linda is now in the process of ordering them.

Frankle Butler and Jimmy Stewart have gotten the costumes for the servants and have bought paper and other materials for the making of the props.

Steve Chapman, with the help of the Barracudas, chose the Soul Send­ers to play the night of the 16th.

Sue Anne Madison has decided on the type and amount of refreshments to be ordered in April , She and Diann Davis have also chosen the sophomore servers.

Recently Highland Springs was honored by the visit of Pham-Toan-Thien, a student from South Viet­nam. His visit here to the United States was made possible by the American Field Survey. Thien was on his way to the Twentieth Annual New York Herald Tribune World Youth Forum as a delegate.

There were thirty-one students' competitions held by the Ministries of Education in each country. Al l of the delegates are high school seniors who will be spending January, Febr­uary, and March in the United States meeting many leaders.

Thien had a busy schedule to ful­fill upon arriving in Richmond. On Saturday he and the other delegates visited the Virginia Museum. At 2:30 p.m. Sunday, everyone met in the Rotunda of the Capitol Build­ing for the opening of Brotherhood Week. A tea followed, and also a visit to the Valentine Museum. At 4:30 Sunday afternoon, a get-to­gether was held at the John Marshall Hotel on the roof garden. Later, supper was held in the Virginia Room at the hotel. On Monday the delegates were scheduled to visit and study the school of their host; on Tuesday the delegates,departed.

Thien' began to relate his story by beginning with his birthplace. He was born in Thai-Binh, a city near Hanoi. When Viet-Nam was divided into two parts, his family was one of more than one million refugees who moved south.

Thien has a large family. Although he has but one sister, he has many brothers, all of whom are still in school. Thien's father is a civil serv­ice agent and has worked for the gov­ernment for approximately thirty years.

Thien is now a student in Saigon, majoring in literature and foreign languages (he speaks French and English fluently). He enjoys many ac­tivities. Two of his hobbies are read­ing and book collecting. Thien ex­plains that most of his money is spent on books. He now has a small

by Kay Plyler

library of about 1,000 volumes. He also enjoys music (modern, of course). Thien feels that classical music is a little too deep for him to appreciate fully. He also prefers American films because of the great scenery and top-quality colors. Thien wants some day to be able to visit Hollywood and see how the films are actually made. As far as sports are concerned, he enjoys football, bas­ketball, and swimming.

Chief Religion, Buddhism The family religion is Buddhism,

but Thien's father, being very liberal-minded, allows them to follow any religion they choose. Confucianism also exercises influence on the ethical concepts of his family.

Thien professes a talent of sing­ing. He asserts that although his voice

isn't rich and deep, he can sing the folk-songs of his country. He is also learning to play the guitar.

Thien delights in the study of inter­national affairs. He aspires to become a diplomat working in international affairs. I f this is not possible, he would like to be a teacher.

An interesting comparison of name structure reveals that according to our standards, the name Pham-Toan-Ttiien is backwards. Pham is the family name; Thien is his first name.

In one government class, Thien eagerly discussed, for practically the whole period, his impressions and travels in America. Finally one student asked him why he had not related more about Viet Nam and the war. Thien replied that at times he liked to try to forget momentarily about the war and all of its sorrow. "

AFS Deserves Credit The American Field Service in our

school has done a lot in past years. Through the efforts of the adult and student members, three foreign ex­change students have been able to come to our school, and two mem­bers of the student body have been able to go abroad for the summer. This may not be possible in corning years if students do not support our A.F.S.

This year the A.F.S. has been try­ing to make up for the deficit left

from last year. Through the sale of basketball programs at the games, most of the deficit has been recov­ered. Local civic organizations are helping with our problem, and the Interclub Council has been asked to help as a club; but unless the stu­dent body helps, the A.F.S. will not be able to function in our school after this year. Let's hope the students will help in the effort to keep the A.F.S. in our H.S.H.S.

One of the newest additions to the language staff this year is Mrs. Alice Home.

Mrs. Home, an English . teacher, attended Annadale High School in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Beginning as a French major, she attended the College of William and Mary. " I like English. I found the courses more interesting, so I switched." Mrs. Horne graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

Mrs. Horne first taught at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, Virginia, and then moved on to George C. Marshall High School in Fairfax County. Her next stop was here at Highland Springs, which is "far away from where I live in the far west end of Richmond."

Since she is so new, Mrs. Horne was asked her first impression of Highland Springs. "It's smaller ihan the school in northern Virginia where I taught. It's friendlier, I feel, be­cause it is small."

Mrs. Horne, who was born in Schenectady, New York, likes to travel. The trip that stands out most in her mind is the trip she made to Europe, while she was still in high school.

When asked about sports, Mrs. Horne quickly replied, " I love them! I especially like swimming and water sports."

Mrs. Home has two- main inter­ests: books and furniture. She en­joys reading and collecting books, and "loves" furniture shopping, for she is presently furnishing her home. She also likes Bill Cosby (so much that she named her cat after him), playing Bridge, the later shows on television, and " B A T M A N " .

Letter to Editor

by Frances Aliff The student behavior and attitude

at Highland Springs are most out­standing to Mrs. Horne. However, she isn't quite as satisfied with the seats, chairs, and rooms. She feels there should be more of each. She also likes coffee and is disappointed because we don't have coffee in the

cafeteria and in the teachers' lounge. Like any other new person at High­

land Springs, Mrs. Horne is still find­ing her way around. With a chuckle she added, " I got lost coming to school the first day and went way past it. Then I discovered that my keys were locked inside my top drawer!"

Alma Mater Tradition Is Valued I t has been noticed, by observation,

that the educational system of Hen­rico County has grown tremendously. The schools now enjoy more modern educational aids and conveniences than ever. More young people receive better educations, academically and socially, than before. The importance of an "Alma Mater" tradition is apparent for both schools and stu­dents.

I t has also been noticed that one phase of this tradition has been neg­lected, that of the rolled diploma. Previously, the diplomas have been dispatched in leaf form, lacking the prestige and dignity representative of twelve years' labor. I t seems that with educational standards and prac­tices constantly rising, so might the dignity of the accomplishment of completion.

Why not elevate ceremonial stan­dard as well as the academic? I f seniors volunteered to roll and ar­range the diplomas for the ceremony, wouldn't it be as easy and so much more impressive to roll our certificates in honor, dignity, and profound pride in our "Alma Mater" ?

Respectfully yours, Don Hudson '66

'Bookworm? All Hail to Shakespeare! f

Rabbi Gives Insight The Rabbi, by Noah Gordon, is

the story of a modern rabbi, Michael Kind. From the influence of his strictly orthodox grandfather and im­migrant father, Michael becomes determined to be a rabbi. He finds an obstacle to his goal when he falls in love with the daughter of a Con­gregational minister, Leslie Rawlins.

As Michael moves from state to state, he has difficulty finding a con­gregation which will respond to him as he wishes. When he finally becomes settled, he has a young daughter and a teenaged son. He reviews his life, his ideals, and the many changes which the years have made on him.

The Rabbi is a novel about people, who seem to laugh and breathe with

re;il life. I f is a tender love story. I t is a man who faces challenges and even sorrow every day of his life. While it does not deal with the his­tory of Jewish people, The Rabbi depicts modern, American Jews who now face a crisis almost as seri­ous as the Nazi prison camps and social degradation of their past. This crisis is an apathy, a growing lack of concern for their heritage and their future.

The Rabbi is fascinating. I t has appeal for everyone, a charm which surrounds the whole story. Noah Gordon has produced a completely modern novel about an ancient cult­ure. I t is filled with entertainment from start to finish.

Editors Note: Due to the fact that all seniors are studying both Macbeth and Hamlet, the Fling feels that the following study questions wi l l broaden the student's understanding of these plays. They are taken from Richard Armour's Twisted Tales From Shake­speare. Questions on Macbeth:

l . i Have you a weird sister ? An odd brother ?

2. Comment on the following quo­tation: " 'Aroint thee, witch!' ' the rump-fed ronyon crie." Dis­cuss the advantages of rump-

fed over spoon-fed and intra­venous.

3. Was Macbeth thane? How does he compare in this respect with Hamlet ?

4. Would you trust Lady Macbeth as a wet nurse ? Keep in mind her expression of solicitude for her own infant: " I would, while i t was miling in my face, have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums and dash'd the brains out."

5. Which would you prefer in your stew: a. Newt's eyes ? b. Dagons' scales? c. A dash of baboon blood ?

6. Continue and bring to an inter­esting conclusion Lady Mac-beth's unfinished poem ?

"The thane of Fife Had a wife . . . "

7. I f you have trouble remembering lines, take the part of one of the witches in the following scene: 1st Witch. Hail! 2nd Witch. Hail! 3rd Witch. Hail!

8. "Upon my head," said Macbeth, "they placed a fruitless crown." What did he expect, a bowl of 5 grapes and bananas ?

9. Did you realize that a hautboy is not a male child but a musical g instrument ?

10. Try to piece together the history of Scotland.-Use Scotch Tape if necessary. 7

Questions on Hamlet: 1. Have you noticed how, in Shake­

speare's plays, when people said ®' they saw a ghost they usually did ? Were people more trustwor­thy in those days? Were ghosts? ^

2. How long can you discuss Rosen-crantz without mentioning Guil-denstern, and vice versa ?

3. What did Queen Gertrude see in King Claudius ?

4. Where did Polonius spend his

time when he was not sulking behind an arras ? Consider the effect on Ophelia's future if she had known how to swim. Which is the most horrible line in the play? Not counting, of course, "O, horrible! O, horrible! Most horrible!" ( I , v, 80) Would i t give you comic relief to hold in your hands the skull of an old friend ? Don't you think Hamlet had rot­ten luck ? In fact was anything more rotten in the state of Den­mark ? Deliberate on the King's request, "Come, Hamlet, come, and take this hand from me," followed by the stage direction: "The King puts Laertes' hand into Ham­let's." (V, i i , 213) Isn't this a little gruesome ?

Arrivals Are From Longwood The Highland Springs Home Eco­

nomics Department is currently host­ing two new arrivals. Miss Sylvia Markos and Miss Rosemary Stone, both of Longwood College, are doing their practice teaching here.

Miss Markos, who comes from Nor­folk, has planned to become a teach­er since her early college days. She says she likes i t at Highland Springs, adding, " I think it's a friendly school. Everyone is very cooperative." Miss Markos' favorite hobby is cooking. Recently she has taken up coin col­

lecting. For the past four years, Miss Markos has been the owner of a sports car and has developed a keen inter­est in all sports cars.

Miss Stone claims an interest in becoming a teacher since her senior year in high school. Miss Stone is from Bassett, Virginia. She enjoys swimming and horseback riding dur­ing the warmer months, and also likes to sing. Cooking is also one of her more enjoyable past times. She likes working here at Highland Springs and says " I like the students, and the faculty members have been very nice too."

Track, Baseball Start Seasons Soon Bleacher Feature

by Jim Whitlow

The Highland Springs Varsity Basketball team ended their reg­ular season play with a tough list of opponents. The Springers, who were 13-2 and just a game behind Capital District-leading Lane of Charlottesville, lost their chance to tie for the lead in the district when they dropped their game to John Marshall.

Unti l this game, the Springers couldn't seem to do anything wrong. They had just beaten Douglas Freeman, 75-72, and were sporting a nine game winning streak. But this was just the wrong night for the Springers, as Jayem built up a large lead which the Springers just couldn't overcome.

The next game H.S. played was against Tucker. This game also was supposed to be close, but the Springers ran away with the game in a superb team effort. This victory pushed their record up to 14-3, still one game behind Lane.

For their last game the H.S. cagers traveled to Charlottesville to play Lane. Even though the Springers played well, the Black Knights of Lane managed to come out on top, 84-77. This put the Springers in a tie with Douglas Freeman for second place.

The leading scorer for H.S. is Elbert Hodge, who has a 16.6 points per game average and is number eight in the District. Hodge was also named to the All-Metro second team and was voted the most popular player on the Springer team and received a trophy at half-time at the Douglas Freeman game. Other Springers with high scoring averages are Steve Harvey, 14.1, who also received honorable mention on the All-Metro squad, Jimmy Peters, 13.0, Mike Hardi-man, 9, Ronnie Hardy, 8, and Chuck Sparks, 5.

The Highland Springs Junior Varsity Basketball team ended up the season with a 7-11 record.

The following are the scores of the last ten Springer Varsity games:

Springers Win 14

Having been defeated the first time, Highland Springs came back to beat the Hermitage Panthers 69 to 52. In this game, Mike Hardiman was the high scorer—15 points. Steve Harvey aided in the scoring with his 14 points.

On February 4, Highland Springs basketball team went to George Wythe to play the Bulldogs. The outcome was another victory for H.S., who won by a score of 45 to 40. At the end of the game the Springers had 12 team fouls, where­as George Wythe only had 7.

Elbert Hodge led the Springers in scoring with 13 points. Jimmy Peters ran a close second with 12 points, Steve Harvey and Mike Hardiman came in third in the scoring column with 6 points each.

The thirteenth varsity game proved to be lucky when Highland Springs defeated Henrico. The score was 66 to 58.

The Springers had only 10 team fouls, whereas Henrico had 18 fouls. Steve Harvey led in the scoring col­umn with 17 points. Elbert Hodge and Jimmy Peters again ranked high in scoring, when they scored 15 and 12 points respectively.

The Springers needed to win the Douglas Freeman game, in order to keep their hopes alive for 1st place in the Capital District, and they did. The score was 75-72 in a game that was not as close as the score indicates. The Springers put on a great exibi-tion of outside shooting and ball han­dling while the taller rebels controlled

"We might not have the winning-est ball club, but we've got the scrap­piest one," commented Coach Lam-may after the junior varsity's fifth straight loss. Douglas Freeman downed the jayvees 43-38. "Ever since the loss of Weis and Clayton after the Varina win, 54-32, we have been going downhill," added Coach Lammay.

In the game with Varina, 5' 2" Ricky Combs led the Springers with 24 points. David Atkinson also came through with 19 points to help out in the win.

I n the following games, the junior varsity began their streak of losses. The first loss was to the Bulldogs of George Wythe, 51-42. The Springers were again led in points by David Atkinson, who scored 19 points. But this was not enough to make up for the deficit. Next the Springers met Teejay where they again lost, 34-31. Atkinson led the team again with 13 points.

The Springers came out on the short end again when they lost to the Warriors of Henrico 42-34. For the fourth straight game, David Atkinson headed the scoring column—this time with 15 points.

The loss of Weis's shooting and the rebounding of Clayton put the hurt on the J.V. Springers.

The team dropped a close game to the Hermitage Panthers, 44-41. This was the fourth straight game in which the baby Springers have been ahead at half-time, but have lost in the end.

The junior varsity record now stands at 6-9.

6Player of the Month9

Hodge Makes All-Metro "Hot" is the word for the Springers

and the Flings' Player of the Month, Elbert Hodge. Hodge, a 6'2" senior guard, closed out the season as 8th in the district in scoring. His floor percentage was 47, and he hit over half of his foul shots.

Elbert played his best game against Lane, scoring 34 points and getting .... rebounds. He finished the season eighth in scoring in the district. When asked how it felt to be a top scorer, he

said, "It's a team effort, and when you get 'hot' you can depend on the other guys to get you the ball."

Hodge says the team is great and has a lot of spirit.

Elbert hopes to attend V.P.I , and continue his bas­ketball activity. Hodge

Lane Tops Springers, 84-77 The Capital District race came

down to the wire as the Springers battled the Black Knights of Lane.

The Springers showed good ball-handling and rebounding; at the end of the first period the Springers held a one point lead 17 to 16. I n the second, Lane outscored the Springers 25 to 17

and went in at halftime with a 7 point lead.

Lane increased its lead to 8 points by outshooting the Springers 21 to 20 in the third quarter.

With 1:30 to go the Springers cut Lane's lead to five points in a game effort to win, only to fall under the Black Knights' last rush.

Elbert Hodge scored 18 and Steve Harvey added 11. The Springers, who were ahead by five at half-time found themselves behind by as many as 6 to 8 points in the 4th quarter. With 3 minutes remaining H.S. started a rally that eventually gave them a five point lead. Clutch foul shooting by Wayne Huband and Mike Hardiman in the final seconds provided the go-ahead points.

Varina's shooting hand seemed almost as cold as the weather when

Highland Springs romped over them 71-36 on Feb. 3. Due to the Springers tough defense, many of the Blue Devils' shots never made it past the out-stretched arms of our taller Springers. Varina was able to score on only nine of forty field goal at­tempts.

The contest was never close, as the Springers built up a 29-9 lead in the 2nd quarter and outscored the Blue Devils 41-17 in the 2nd half.

Highland Springs substituted free­ly and all but one on the team scored. Mike Hardiman led all scorers with 13 points, while Jimmy Peters, Steve Harvey and Chuck Sparks also scored in double figures for the Springers. Varina was paced by Russell Hodges, who scored eleven.

The head varsity manager is Bruce Puetz, who is in his second year of this job. Assisting him is Mike Elliot, who was also a varsity football manager. Both managers en­joy their jobs. Their duties, like those of the J .V. managers, include washing the weekly laundry, keeping statistics, caring for the gym, assist­ing the coaches, and being ready to practice first aid whenever a crisis occurs.

Much credit is due to these assidu­ous Springers.

On Feb. 8 Highland Springs left the T.J. gym with a victory, but it is doubtful that we could ever come that close again without losing. With 3 minutes left in the game, H.S. trailed by eight points. The Springers tied the score with a minute remain­ing and won on a jump shot by El­bert Hodge with six seconds on the clock. When the final buzzer rang, the score was 72-70 in favor of the Springers. I n a game that saw the lead change hands many times, the Springers were led by Elbert Hodge, who scored 16 points. Mike Hardi­man, Steve Harvey, and Ronnie Hardy each had 14, while Jimmy Peters added 10. Mike got his the hard way, scoring 1 field goal and 12 for 14 from the foul line.

Key Club Goes To Convention

The Key Club will be attending a District Convention at the Golden Triangle Motel in Norfolk this month. They are practicing basketball and plan to defeat the Hi-Y in a game scheduled towards the end of the year. The election of next year's of­ficers will be held soon.

The Hi-Y bought new shirts for the basketball team with the money they made from their game with the faculty.

February 14th the French Club's program was presented by the French foreign exchange student from Her­mitage.

The F.T.A. has adopted a point system, which they hope will urge members to be more active. They also decorated the teachers mailboxes Valentines Day.

The Spanish Club listened to re­cords in Spanish at their last meeting, February 9th. The records consisted of both music and poetry.
