SCA Asks for Support With the start of a new year, I find this the opportune time to in
troduce you, Springers, to your SCA. Plans have been made this year that will include the entire student body. However, it is necessary to have your willing support and participation with the new activities.
To have the SCA accepted as an integral part of the school program, we, the officers, have drafted certain basic standards.
1. To understand the basic cause for the creation of an SCA. 2. To arouse support for the SCA b y t h e s t u d e n t b o d y , t h e fac
ulty, and the administration. 3. To include the entire student body in SCA actions. We must strive, with each new idea, to maintain the quality of
Springer Spirit that Highland Springs has been known for in the past.
I want to ask for the co-operation of every student i n our plans, our problems, and our needs for this year. Every year gets a little better, but this year will be the best—but only with Y O U R help. Up and away, Springers! Light our fire in this year's SCA.

Students Face Future
" N o one is more interested or
w i l l i n g to help students or teachers."
" T h i s m a n is very warm-hearted.
H e would rather suffer than h u r t
someone's feelings. Enforc ing an
'open-deer* policy, anyone at any
time can feel free to walk into his
of ice for a chat . "
M r . Nicholas Somma and M r .
Wayne Gibson, respectively, described
M r . V i c t o r W . Kre i ter , pr inc ipa l of
High land Springs H i g h School, i n
these above words.
But 'this man ' also leads a life
away f rom school and has views on
wor ld affairs.
" I don't l ike the term " juveni le
del inquent" i n reference to teenagers.
We adults were young once, and we
became involved w i t h fads."
Enforcing the idea of respecting
authori ty and law and order, M r .
Kre i ter explained, "College students
have no right to riot and show dis
pleasure at every sign of authority .
Evidently their parents have been
crit ical of national problems, and
they believe they can be, i n their
own way."
M r . Kre i ter stressed that aca
demics are the most valued and i m
portant parts of school life. But he
also expressed his f i rm belief that ,
"Athlet ics is a good 'common
ground' for the sckool. I t allows for
that tremendous Springer Spir i t to
run at f u l l force. I ' m proud to say
that my students have a true loyalty
to High land Springs. O u r spirit is
something intangible . "
Not only is spirit on the field at
HS, but i t is in the classroom.
" O u r spirit continues w i t h the
friendliness and understanding be
tween the student and teachers. The
enthusiasm of our classes and clubs
lends to leadership ability among the
students.
The 'real' Springer Spirit, Mr. Victor Kreiter, takes a break from his busy routine.
M r . Kre i t e r likes to th ink that there
is hope dur ing this election year w i t h
both parties having a strong and
positive approach to the problem.
" W h e n i t comes to tke question of
eighteen year olds i n V i e t N a m , I
strongly believe that i f they are o ld
enougk to fight, they are o ld enough
to vote. B u t each citizen vot ing
should be active and know what he's

HSHS Welcomes Gloria The student body of Highland Sprimgs High School takes great
pleasure and pride in welcoming Gloria Marina Barrios Pineda of Guatemala to our country and our school. Gloria, and all other American Field Service students, have volunteered to spend their senior year as exchange students in foreign countries. Recognized as outstanding students in many ways in their home countries, they have taken advantage of this once-in-a-Bfetime opportunity to attend a foreign high school as a member of the Senior Class.
AFSer's have left their homes and families for the Unknown, and for this they deserve our respect. They have traveled thousands of miles to gain and to give understanding, for this they deserve our admiration. But, most of all, they have come to extend their friendship, and for this they deserve, and unquestionably will receive, our friendship in return. This is the goal of the entire American Field Service program, and each year this goal is fulfilled by the many wonderful students it sponsors. They come as strangers to a strange land, but they leave at the end of the year as warm friends. They learn much, but they often teach an equal amount to their American friends that cannot be learned or taught in any other way.
Springers, you now have the pleasure and responsibility to welcome Gloria to America, and particularly to HS. Let's show her that wonderful Spirit that will make her proud to be a Springer! Mary Miller, '89

they started another drive toward a baseball championship.
By the first of August they had oompiled a f o o d enough wen-lost record
to become the Distr ic t 3 Amer ican Lssjisn baseball ebampiens.
The team was led i n h i t t i n g b y B i l l Bolten, who had 14 R B I and Ben

A l l e n , a southpaw, k a d a 5-0 won-lost record, struck out 57, and gave

Springer Coach Continues Interest 1957 marked tke arr iva l of a wel l

L i n d y H i l l arrived here as par t of
the H i g h l a n d Springs coaching staff.
Previously M r . H i l l had occupied
coaching positions for three years i n
West V i r g i n i a and one year i n New

Coach H i l l ' s summers are filled
w i t h various activities. H e is admin
istrator of tke Fairf ield Recreation
Association, commonly known as
Sandston Pool. W k e n August rolls
around, plans are busily being made
for the coming football season.
M r . H i l l attended Concord College
and West V i r g i n i a University . There
ke earned his Bachelor of Science
and Master's degrees.
I t was only natural he became an
athletics director because he was
very interested i n sports and actively
took part i n football , basketball, and
baseball.
When asked to comment on
school spirit , Coach H i l l replied, " I n
recent years school spirit among the
student body has been lower than
The 1968 football season for
H i g h l a n d Springs starts September
13, against Hopewel l , but for many
of the players i t started last year
after football ended.
Every afternoon f r o m then on av id
football boys stayed and worked out
w i t k weights, isometrics, and r u n -
ing . T k i s routine continued through
tke sckool year and through most
of tke summer.
Start ing August 10, the boys
dressed out i n cleats and helmets.
They started to exercise, do agil ity
dr i l l s , k i t tke sleds* w o j k plays on tke
blackboard, r u n sprints, and r u n
more sprints. There were two of
these practices a day, and together
they took u p about five hours. Th is
d id not include the time they spent
studying the football play booklets
at home.
T h a t week was known as H e l l
Week, and its purpose was to work
out the boys who really wanted to
play some football .
A small number of boys were pre
sent at the first practice, but each
practice afterwards i t dwindled.
" W e have been very disappointed
about the t u r n o u t , " said L i n d y H i l l ,
head coach of the varsity football
team. "Seventy-eight boys p u t their
names down, but many d i d n ' t bother
to come after the first couple of
days."
But the big day came on August
16, when pads were p u t on, and the
boys started to h i t . T h e plays on
the blackboard now began mater
ializing on the field, and vacant posi
tions i n the line began to fill. They
ran through plays t ime and again,
and then they ran through them
some more.
As they d i d this, Coach H i l l along
w i t h the help of coaches D u t y , Farr ,
Lammay, and Pickens showed them
their mistakes and helped correct
them.-
Whi le the l inemen practiced ex
ecuting their blocking assignments
~and~*opening~»p holes, the hackfield
men worked on shooting through
the holes as fast as possible i n order
to gain more yardage. They also
worked on defense, p u n t returns,
kickoffs, and extra points.
A l l this t ime, however, they con
t inued to do exercises, and r u n
sprints so that they m i g h t keep i n
the best shape possible and prevent
injuries.
H i g h l a n d Springs had their first
scrimmage August 23, at w h i c h t ime
they p u t everything they had learned
into use under pressure.
Af ter the scrimmage, practice re
sumed u n t i l August 29. O n that day
the Springers had their second and 47 boys signed u p for this squad,
last scrimmage of tke year. A f t e r i t w h e n the first practice was called,

When he isn't on the athletic field,
Coach H i l l is busy teaching his U.S.

Springs.
One of the more t ime consuming
jobs on the football team is being
manager. Th is year we nave a t w o -

W h e n Coach H i l l was asked d u r
ing H e l l Week about tke team's o u t
look this year, he replied, " T h i s w i l l

have about five or six probable start

V i c Sorrell , a co-captain along

be "speed."

Squads Boost Spirit "We're really going to have a
great year. We've got the spirit and
the abi l i ty to make the rest of H i g h
land Springs proud of us. A l l sum
mer we practiced twice a week at
H i g h l a n d Springs, and we've worked
out several new routines that should
add a lot to our performance," noted
Marlene Patterson, head majorette.
I n addit ion to Marlene, there are
two other senior majorettes, Carol
K n o x and Calvin M a r t i n , and four
juniors , Janet Bennett, Gayle Fer
guson, Betty Goodman, and Janet
Stinson
This is a year of new things
for the majorette squad; a new
sponsor, Miss Gladys Patrick, new
outfits, unique routines, and differ
ent places to go. T h e new outfits are
i n the Springer black-and-gold, of
course, and are composed of black
shorts and vest worn over a gold
blouse. This year they have black
skirts to wear over their shorts while
i n school.
The majorettes w i l l be seen not
only at the regular season football
games, but also at the pep rallies.
They w i l l represent H S i n the an
nual Toy Parade and the Apple
Blossom Festival i n Winchester. Also,
for the first t ime, they w i l l perform
i n the famed Tobacco Festival Par
ade.
Cheerleaders
"Practices have gone smoothly,
and w i t h a l i t t l e effort, we ' l l really
be able to boost sp i r i t , " stated Belva
Robbins. Belva, head of the Springer
cheerleaders, is looking forward to a
pleasant year of cheering.
The cheerleaders started off their
year on August 15, at Azalea M a l l .
Area squads were asked to cheer
dur ing a fashion show. The Springer
cheerleaders d i d " W a l k Right I n "
and "Springers W i l l F ight . "
As i n the past the girls w i l l cheer
this year at pep rallies, football and
basketball games, and the annual
cheer ral ly which is held at the
Arena.
Unfortunate ly a new rule has been
made concerning basketball games.
Only five girls w i l l be allowed on
the court leaving the rest of the
group restricted to the sidelines.
The other cheerleaders on the
squad are seniors Connie Burk,
Karen Clark , and L i n d a Twombly .

The cheerleaders w i l l have the
same three outfits worn last year—
the black jumper for pep rallies, the
white wool skirt and sweater for
football games, and the tradit ional
Scottish k i l t for basketball games.
The girls practiced d u r i n g the
summer every Tuesday and T h u r s
day f r o m 7:00 to 9:00 behind the
old H i g h l a n d Springs Elementary
School. "We're doing very we l l to

mented Connie Burk. L i n d a T w o m
bly agreed adding that the girls were
anxious for the beginning of the school
year so they could cheer.
The newest Springer cheer is
"What ' s the Good W o r d N o w . " The
girls not only develop new cheers,
but they are also responsible for the
pep signs i n the school halls.
The cheerleaders agreed that they
are looking forward to seeing the
