We had such a wonderful time. It was great seeing old friends and renewing friendships from long ago. We ate, We drank, We laughed and We hugged.... We also stopped and remembered classmates and teachers who have gone on before us. I treasure these times we gather together. If you weren't with us....you were missed and thought of.

Yet whatever we do or wherever we go We will always remember our three years spent here As filled with pride and joy and cheer. Remember three years ago when we were sophomores so low. On the first day of school, we heard Mr. Arrington say: “Welcome back to school today.” We made ourselves known at the first of the year When we misspelled the SOPHOMORE cheer. Eventually as Beavers we took our place And began to face Our responsibilities as members of BHS. Yet we were called “Silly Sophomores,” none the less. We started to join organizations and clubs And we tried so hard not to flub On menial tasks we were asked to do Such as carrying trays and shinning our shoes. As our sophomore year came to a close, The National Honor Society choose A boy and girl, honored so high As “Outstanding Sophomores” of Bluefield High. Laurie and Tommy were picked above all Because these students had the most on the ball. In a year, we were Juniors, so great, And it was once again our fate To hear our principle, Mr. Arrington, say, “Welcome back to school today.” As Juniors we had more of a chance To let our studies and activities advance. Though we worked harder than ever before We never let school become a bore. We were juniors full of vitality, Eagerness, strength, and morality. We tried so hard to be the best, That we hardly ever had time to rest. One of the highlights of junior year Was the electing of our leaders to cheer. Carolyn, Karen, Sharon, Kathy, and Kimmy Were seniors chosen to do the shouting and grinning. Various gifts, gadgets and trinkets were rendered By the Student Body Presidential contenders. They were Kathy, Stanley, Fermnell and Joe, And the people elected, as everyone knows, Were Kathy, President, and Stanley, Vice, And all won memories so very nice. Seniors we were in less than a year, And we had the chance to once again hear Our great principal, Mr. Arrington, say: “Welcome back to school today.” Immediately as seniors, we took the lead, And for the school did many a deed. In leadership we ranked number one, Creating harmony, joy, and fun. Our class officers who were all so merry Were Stanley, Carolyn, Tommy and Jerry. Of two Beaver queens, seniors could boast, The Bluefield High Homecoming Queen, Chris Yost, And the girl picked most outstandingly so, West Virginia’s Jr. Miss, our own Kathy Jo. In sports, Beavers were on top again, With an honor, a senior did win. Jerry Pruett won this award so great, Which was the lineman of the State. Trophies were awarded to students of speech, And the goal of State Champs was finally reached By the speakers Laurie and Lisa and Joe, For this to Nationals, they will go. Yes, we shared the good times as well as bad And dressed and talked according to fad. To our teachers we would like to say, “Thank-you for helping us in every way.” But tonight, our senior year comes to an end, And now for ourselves, we must fend. Tonight, we hear our principal say: “Good Luck and Best Wishes in every way.” Yes, for twelve long years we worked our days, Yet still our mind craves For more understanding and knowledge. Some of us will go to college, Others to service, marriage, or work, All of these opportunities ahead of us lurk. Yet, whatever we do or wherever we go, WE THE CLASS OF ‘71 KNOW THAT WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN!

We love living in our quaint little retirement community. We are 2.3 miles from the Daytona International Speedway and about 8 miles driving distance to be driving on the South Daytona Shores Beach. Sue is disabled and most of my day consists of taking care of her and then spending some time with friends and neighbors. I also work part time as the night patrol for our community. If you are ever at the beach, look us up and we can have a lunch or dinner together. We have 2 children, Heather Ann Calfee Franklin who is a Captain in the US Army Reserve and she served in Kandahar, AFG for 10 months. She has 3 boys, Collin (16), Jacob (9) and Alex (8).

He and Becki have 2 of the most beautiful little princesses ever (Grandaddy thinks so)! Bella is (8) and Miss Addie is (3). Her Grammie calls her our little copperhead and we aren't sure if it's because of the color of her red curly hair or if it's because Addie sometimes reminds us that quick little snake that will whirl around before you know it and get cha'.
