THE ELK REFLECTS

CLASS STARS OF 1972

As the Herbert Hoover High School Class of 1972 prepares for their 50th class reunion on August 19-20, 2022, we thought we would share some of their familiar faces.

Junior Stars Chosen:Naylor and Husson

Our Miss Brooks, The Junior Play, will be performed on March 31st and April 1st. The play is about an English teacher, Miss Brooks (played by Susie Naylor) who ends up having to sponsor the play. She is romantically in love with the coach (Nick Husson) and she knows they will always be fighting over the gym since she is director of the play. Many problems arise because the star athlete, Ted (Ronnie Wheeler) quits the team to have the leading part in the play. One of the student's mothers is on the school board and she gets all hairy because her sweet little daughter doesn't get a part! Miss Brooks has many public and private problems arising. Come and see how she solves them. The play is humorous and lively... Miss Arthur says, "I chose the play because Miss Brooks has my reactions to sponsoring a play. The students are really eager to work at it, though." The other parts in the play are: Mr. Wadsworth (John Furry), Jane (Jill bowen), Miss Finch (Debbie Edens), Miss Audubon (Vicki Dearien), Miss Allen (Nancy Ross), Rhonda Allen (Pam Montague), Students: Debby Morrison, Prscilla Hinkle, Sandy Bostic, Rachel Cross, Doug Snow, Rusty Harper, Debbie Hively, and Janet Darby.

Affiliated Financial Group Breaking Ground for New Location

Affiliated Financial Group is excited to announce they are breaking ground for the construction of their new building at 4950 Elk River Road South in Elkview. Randy Young, President and Owner of Affiliated Financial Group, said, “ANR Construction has already started the construction of the building; they had Harmac Incorporated digging and pouring our footers and and we anticipate moving into our new building late this summer.” Currently, Affiliated Financial Group’s corporate office is located in the O.V. Smith’s Office Building in Big Chimney. “Jim and George Smith have been great to lease from over the last three years but we are excited to take the next step and have our own Affiliated Financial Group corporate office building,” said Randy. He added, “We will continue to lease office space at our other four locations.” The new office building will be a one-story building and will consist of 2800 square feet with plenty of office space and conference rooms. “It will be a showpiece for AFG here on the Elk River,” said Randy. Once the building is completed, Affiliated Financial Group’s office building will be next door to Door, Decor and Moore and near Elk Family Dentistry and other businesses located on Route 119. The Elk River has seen significant business growth from Mink Shoals to Elkview and in the community of Clendenin. It is exciting to see the Elk River rebound and prosper.
