The 1962 Highlander Published by the HIGHLANDER STAFF East Henderson High School Flat Rock, North Carolina EDITOR: Dick Stratton BUSINESS MANAGER: Jerrold Kronenfeld Realizing th e urgent need for the improvement of her public schools, North Carolina searched for a leader who could light the lamp of knowledge and point the way. She found such a one in Terry Sanford. Through our yearbook we show our appreciation for his dedication to education. We can only hope that his successors will continue this good work and that the people of North Carolina will co-operate, combining their efforts for the development and support of quality education. 41% LIAS AT? UlITLe .. ING Af; Al, AIL: fy ORTH CAROLINA | Capacity crowd fills gym for the Chamber of Commerce banquet. The Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner meeting at East Henderson High on February 24, 1961. Governor Terry Sanford was the guest of honor and featured speaker at a program honoring General Electric’s Fifth Anniversary. Approx- imately six hundred persons from Henderson County and the neighboring areas attended this dinner meet- ing. East Henderson High was honored to be host to the Governor and our many friends. East Henderson is therefore doubly appreciative to the Chamber of Commerce and General Electric for selecting East High. Through this meeting, persons who might never have seen the quality of our school were able to become acquainted with our plant and its facilities. Preparations fill every part of the gym as the banquet time nears. Flags beside him and a huge audience before him, Governor San- ford delivers his speech. Fi Mr. Hazeltine, a top geometry teacher, is a fa- miliar figure on the East High campus. His warm personality has made him a favorite in the classroom, yet how many students realize his true worth? He has been teaching and administrating for more than 40 years. Schools in Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina have known his leading and teaching skills. He was head of his department for 3 years at Lee Edwards of Asheville, head master of the Asheville Country Day School for 4 years, taught at Dana and Flat Rock, and conducted his own school at Asheville for 16 years. That is proof enough of his patience and devotion. In his informal class sessions we have learned to think, to reason, to form ideas and express them to others. He has made geometry live for us, and we in turn have learned to live for geometry!! If a student is to learn, he must want to learn. He must be encouraged. Mr. Hazeltine’s enthusiasm and interest in geometry are sufficient to arouse a_ stu- dent’s curiosity and efforts. Mr. Hazeltine has the art of encouragement. A special twinkle in his eye, a triumphant smile, a reassuring nod congratulate you for a job well done. Who can resist such an invitation to learn? Our gratitude to him is great, yet the debt we owe to him as students is greater. It shall be paid perhaps not to him, but to the world. His students will soon be scattered throughout the world, paying their debt through useful application of what they have learned. We shall never forget you, Mr. Hazeltine, for you have left your mark on our minds and characters. FOREWORD The Greeks, earliest of our cultural ancestors, believed geometry to be divine. In the beauty and simplicity of geometric design, they saw a pattern for our universe and a guiding force controlling its motions. We of the present, while giving no credence to the supernatural abilities of these designs, still find in their symmetry and congruency a pattern within nature—within life itself.

The audience applauded wildly as the curtain fell at the conclusion of the Senior class play, Our Town. Thornton Wilder’s drama was in itself superb, but add the directing talent of Mrs. Nickell, the devoted efforts of our stars, Ronnie Oates, Susie Corn, Steve Duncan, and cast to this and the result is a drama deserving its capacity crowd. No, we'll never forget the wedding, the graveyard, or the warning “live life to the fullest while you have it.” Many thanks to the Senior Class of 1961. “1 don’t know why, but weddings always make me cry,” sobs Mrs. Soames, portrayed by Jackie Mullinax. Mr. Justus proudly presents Max Justice with the Key First U.N. Contest Max emphasizes his arguments for the U.N. Student interest in the United Nations was keen with P.T.A. sponsorship of a high school world peace study and speaking program last March. Faculty advisors corrected first drafts and coached hesitant speakers, before local dignitaries, acting as judges, graded essays and heard presentations in a special school assembly. The theme, “The United Nations and World Peace” was especially appropriate as the winning student and faculty advisor would join other winners and sponsors for a bus trip to New York. A visit to the United Nations and an opportunity to see a Broadway play, “Advise and Consent’ were ‘on the agenda, as well as a stop over in Washington Contest winners listen attentively as Dr. Frank Graham addresses the group in New York.

This portion of the contest was sponsored by the American Freedom Association and the local P.T.A. made the trip a reality for the winning student by assuming the fi- nancial responsibility of such a trip. After narrowing the field to seven semi-finalists, Max Justice was selected and he and his sponsor Mrs. Nickell had only a few short weeks to plan for an exciting visit to the Nation’s capitol and the head- quarters of the United Nations. The U.N. Social and Economics Council Room—one of the many the groups saw at the U.N. Headquarters. Rebecca Ballard, ‘Pigtails’, enter- tains the missionary lady. Seniors chose a serious theme, “Moonlight and Roses”, for the class day program. The Class Prophecy, Class History, and Last Will and Testament were delivered. Senior girls, dressed in formals, were seated upon the stage, and the boys added a humorous touch with their skits, “Frankie and Johnny”, and “Romeo and Juliet’.

First Graduating Class Receives Diplomas On June 1, 1961 the first graduating class of East Henderson High School marched to “Pomp and Circum- stance.” Parents, friends, and relatives of the 144 grad- vates packed the auditorium. Gold honor cords of Beta Club members sparkled among the grey robes. Seven students of high scholastic achievement occupied the honor positions usually reserved for Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Probably the honor block will become a tradition, as it more fairly represents the outstanding students of a class. Three honor students, Susan Davis, Ronnie Oates, and Joe Garrett delivered short speeches and after a word of farewell from Mr. Justus the di- plomas were awarded. East Henderson has delivered its first graduates to the world of business and higher learning. | Larry Bell’s face radiates pride and relief as Mr. Justus awards | his diploma. Robert Morgan makes with a square beat. Beatniks! Beatniks were everywhere as Greenwich Village recruited all our Juniors. Our education was complete when they treated us to a beatnik assembly on Junior Class Day. Greenwich celebrities were pre- sented and “The Gruesome Two-some plus One”, the “Froggie Trio”, and the Lonesome Lovers moaned and thumped out a few tunes. The program was sponsored by Goldbrick and Goldbrick (makers of measle tape) and the movie company featuring mighty See-more. As the day wore on we recognized a few friends and acquaintances under the bizarre costumes. Even- tually all was back to normal, but the day when Beatniks disrupted East High has gone down in history, never to be forgotten. “Gruesome twosome plus one” go “a hunting”.

The sophomores went one better than our govern- ment’s scientists and turned back the sands of time. The gay twenties were here again. With flappers, gangsters, and prohibition they lived it up for an hour in the famous speakeasy, “Blue Moon.” Headlining the star-studded floor show was Mrs. Davis, 9th grade English teacher, who taught us all about the educated bugs. In rapid succession came Dennis Kronenfeld as the worried father and Billy McClure and Bert King as two good-for-nothing fish- ermen. As a grand finale the customers were treated to a gay-twenties French chorus line. As the applause faded all agreed that the venture into time travel had been highly successful. “He were dat long.” The Thinker “Roaring Twenties’ Three flappers do the Charleston—the twist of the twenties Jan and Richard combine talents for “Some Enchanted Evening.” ig Air : Teacher Kathy Jones and ‘Pet’ David Jenkins.

Entertained by song and dance, wined and dined with food from a French menu, the Juniors and Seniors took a night off away from the cares and worries of school life to enjoy a soiree in French atmosphere. Imported straight from Paris for the occasion was an original French chorus line (sophomores to you and A young Frenchman’s dreaml me); four young madmoiselles singing a French song; and three burly messieus, French too we think, who sang ‘Froggy” (with a French accent, of course). The at mosphere was further enhanced by the lovely decora- tions and silhouette of the Eiffel Tower. Combined with an informal speech by Mr. Tom Cassi- dy and a delicious dinner, the evening flowed smoothly along. French (????) Lovely Parisian charms audience. Trois Chanteuses francaises. Vive la France! Miss Hi Miss The Beta Club is proud to present Miss Saundra Anders as Miss Hi Miss of 1962. Saundra’s glowing personality and natural friendliness have made her popular with all. Her school record shows clearly that she works seriously and earnestly to do her very best. She excels not only in classwork, but also in the extracurricular activities in which she participates. By her interest and participation in these activities, she has not only added to her own knowledge, but also has benefited the clubs and their mem- bers. Saundra fulfills in every way the Beta standards of honesty, service, and leader- ship. 20 Sa letex. ae raat st ty Lge48 Mb tsht a OHH Bele 4 Stret} r 2 fe aaa ’ titebeds bat: tA Poet teres uy see Ss re 3 ee Pai gaey t = i MAawrk ; =e reste oh 3 oP. 2 Reine f. eaeiensteg=, sn Pel oo Ver veetes 2 pices ss, Gir rin! pte b@ee Sart-pi als qe sRieh sew, eae star A Miss Highlander The Highlander presents the first Miss Highlander, Patricia Lewis.

Her fine character and attractiveness have made East High proud to claim her as a representative of our school. 21 unior Beaut _ Miss Jane R Miss Patricia Brady Senior Beauty — Miss Vera Connor BEAUTIES ae ee oGREBIAS OTERO SS EONS RCD TLR SS cua aatsy EARLE OR Beevers SGA Meleeis: Sieceae ACTIVITIES 25 Old members look on as new members proudly receive their Ella Mae Corn, Nancy Mull, Beverly Huggins, Jean Morrow, Carol certificates from secretary.

Student Store Prospers Under Student Council Though new, the Student Council at East High has developed into an active and effective organization. In its brief history it has written a constitution and opened a student store in addition to its regular duties.

There upon the stage is the chorus and perched near the lower step is Mr. Harvey, waving his wand. Three times in two weeks Mr. Harvey instructs the group of budding singers. He also directs the Glee Club, which is limited to the feminine members of the student body. Hours are spent preparing for radio and as- sembly programs, and even the smallest details are considered. With measured steps they file into posi- tion on the stage. The fruits of many hours of re- hearsal are becoming apparent in a chorus capable of entertaining all with their hymns and popular melo- dies. Sing Along With....... Mr. Harvey!

Staff Works Overtime on Your ‘62 Annual Out of the mountain of paper, pictures, and head- aches the Highlander staff has created your annual. With the aid and advice of Dick Stratton, editor, and Mrs. Nickell, sponsor, the staff attacked the moun- tain and molded pictures, art, and paragraphs into pages. The business staff expanded its efforts to raise desperately needed money by staging sock-hops, sell- ing pictures, and soliciting ads. After many long hours the gigantic jig-saw puzzle neared completion but deadlines loomed omniously. Effort was doubled. Under stress and strain the staff and their editor worked frantically. The hardy staff toiled on and lived to experience the great calm after deadlines were met. To their determination we owe our year- book, the Highlander. we must have more than this.

It encourages the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation and citizenship in each of its members. Our chapter here at East High actively participates in many state, area, and school activities. Each year as a culmination of the year’s work the chapter at- tends the state convention at Raleigh. There, by ex- changing techniques and ideas with other chapters, we are able to improve ourselves. The chapter has placed high in the local soil judging contests and from past performances expect to do very well in the coming tool and cattle judging contests.

Each book must be filed, proper- ly labeled, and in its own specific position on the shelf. The librarian and her assistants must keep records of which books are borrowed and when they should be returned. By ordering new books, devising better check-out systems, and rearranging the classes of books on the shelves they have not only paved a smooth road to good reading but also have improved their efficiency and service.

Bible Club Serves Community The Bible Club of East High strives to promote a better understanding of the Bible through its biweekly programs. Guest speakers, including ministers, mis- sionaries, teachers, and musicians, have aided the group in their study of the Old and New Testament. The Bible Club has presented several programs for the student body and has made bulletin board dis- plays for the Administration building. During the Christmas season they delivered gum-drop trees which they had made for the hospital. The members of the Bible Club have shown through their service to others that they try to live by as well as learn from the Bible. Shirley, Judy, Nora, Emily, and Pat lead the club in an old-fashioned hymn fest. Emily, Pat, and Ann search for answers to their questions.

It provides a setting in which young people, interested in nursing as a career, can explore the opportunities and requirements of the field. They grow as individuals by working together and by learn- ing about the community in which they will soon participate as informed citizens and possibly as nurses.

The intricacies of the dances are soon memorized and the couples are ready to try another. Such endless wells of energy amazed the student body when the dancers participated in a program. However the adjective, “ad- vanced,” does not mean without error. Occasionally a circle left might end up circling right, but this only adds to the flavor of square dancing.

Anders who served as Superintendent of the Henderson County Schools for thirty-two years, (1921-1954). The club seeks to help its members to study and recognize the qualities, traits, and aptitudes which are related to successful teaching and to motivate them to prepare themselves adquately for the necessary college training. We promise in our pledge to study daily to keep the mind active and alert; to seek to know the right and to live by it. The officers look up for a moment from their work.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Vice President: FRED COLLINS President: DAVID GILBERT Secretary-Treasurer: SAUNDRA ANDERS We are the Seniors. Four years of high school lie behind us, successfully completed. These years, full of humorous and nostalgic memories of when we were underclassmen, when we thought we knew it all, when we first explored a new schoool after a long awaited consolidation, are now giving way to a new step toward the future. Whether we are to take up a life’s vocation or fur- ther our education, we once again become novices. This year we have added the fourth and last dimen- sion to our life—time. With time comes experience and with experience assurance in ourselves and our abilities. 55 NORMAN LEE ANDERS “Norman” “To think or not to think—that is the question!” SAUNDRA ELIZABETH ANDERS “Saundra” “A sweet personality is a ticket to anywhere.” BRENDA JOYCE ANDERS “Sissy” “Cheerfulness is a good trait.” SENIOR NAN MELINDA BEAL “Nan” “So calm, so good, so nice.” RUBY GRACE ANDERSON “Ruby” “She who has ability gains fame.” CHARLES E.

In so doing we assume the responsibility for the lead- ership of our school. For three years we have trained for this day. To provide that leadership we have built up an effective class organization. We have created its newspaper to voice the ideas of that school. In those three years we have gained knowledge, ability, and a confidence in ourselves. We need now only that fourth and last dimension, the experience that comes with time, to make us useful citizens. 75 JUNIORS Anderson, Margaret Ballard, Alta Ballard, Judy Bane, Judy Barnwell, Audrey Barnwell, Roy Baumberger, Julius Beddingfield, Buford Beddingfield, Carleen Beddingfield, Ronald Beddingfield, Ruby Berry, Vaughn Blackwell, Brenda Brittain, Teddy Brooks, Douglas Brooks, Gary Burrell, Robert Burson, Donald Cabe, Pat Capps, Fred Capps, Ronald Carpenter, Johnny Cochran, Patricia Coggins, Larry Connor, Nicky Corn, Harold Crowder, Bruce Crozier, Johnny 76 JUNIORS Dalton, Roger Davis, Dottie Davis, Paul DeLozier, Scott Diehl, Beverly Edmundson, Johnny Enloe, Heather Freeman, David Freeman, Sheena Garber, Paul George, Randall Gibbs, Clifford Gibbs, Shirley Guice, Glenda Guice, Vonda Halford, Norman Hardin, Betty Ann Harding, Larry Harris, Connie Harris, lla Harris, John Hawkins, Billy Hayden, Peggy Heatherly, Ripley Heaton, Carolyn Hill, Donnie Hill, Mae doots, Carolyn 77 JUNIORS Hoyle, Janice Huggins, Beverly Hughey, Shirley Hunt, Tony Hyder, Elvonne Hyder, Richard Hyder, Theresa Jackson, Mary Kay Justice, Max Justice, Sandra Justus, Beuna Kaylor, Sara King, Bert King, Connie King, Dwight King, Jerry King, Marjorie Kronenfeld, Dennis Lancaster, Jimmie Lauck, Alvin Laughter, Clifford Lively, Eloise London, Jack McAbee, Dinah McClure, Billy McCrain, Carol McCrain, Doris McCrary, Jewel 78 JUNIORS McCraw, Jane Maki, Diane Marshall, Billy Marshall, Doug Marshall, Sharyn Maybin, Betty Maybin, Mary Gladys Maybin, Theron Middleton, Carole Miller, Johnny Milner, Milton Morris, Donald Morrow Betty Morrow, Jean Morrow, Margaret Mull, Nancy Newman, Peggy Nicholson, Leroy Nix, Glenda Oates, Dwight Osteen, Carl Osteen, LeLand Owenby, Carole Ann Pace, Alice Marie Pace, Harlen Pace, Marilyn Pace, Ruth Parrish, Marian 79 JUNIORS Patterson, Phyllis Pilcher, Ronnie Ponder, Herman Pridmore, Melvin Pruitt, Sarah Ramsey, Jane Redden, Annette Redden, Judy Reed, Dianne Reed, Pat Reems, Pat Rhodes, Leon Rhodes, Sherrill Ridenhour, Ruth Rollins, Jane Sentelle, Patricia Sinclair, Janis Sluder, Dean Stepp, Arthur Stepp, Sheila Tabor, Kenneth Taylor, Joe Vaughn, Jimmie Walden, Armildia Williams, Larry Williams, Florence Willis, Billy Wilson, Shelba Jean Wise, Kenneth 80 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS DOCLCTOSY MT CCSUlEN ny teen cela eas stun oP one ha dee « President ........ 543-4 A a ane eyo Ra A We are the Sophomores.

Eagles Gain Experience Berry creams West player trying an end run. Randy (Toe) Simpson gets off another 40 yard punt. Coached by Sam Reese the East Henderson Eagles began their first year of football. The inexperienced Eagles ran hot and cold through the season. They showed up well against Bethel and Reynolds but slowed their pace in contests against Erwin and North Buncombe. Although losing both games to arch rival West High, the Falcons knew they had played a hard hitting team. Outplaying their opponents everywhere but on the scoreboard, the Eagles lost to the Yellowjackets of Edneyville on breakaway runs by the Jacket’s speedy quarterback. The Eagles scored their first six points of the season on a quickie pass to Fred Capps who ran over Jacket defenders for the tally. East’s only member of the all-conference squad, Co-Captain and fullback, Larry Williams, led the scoring for the Green and White. Going over twice on short plunges up the middle, he ran over husky guards and linebackers for important yardage. East contributed two honorable mentions to the All-Conference squad; defensive end, Dennis Kronenfeld and tackle Harold Corn. Corn and Kronenfeld anchored down the left side of the Eagle’s de- fensive line while Ronald Beddingfield and Leon Pryor held the right side. The Eagles boast three members of the Al l-County team, Full- back, Larry Williams, end Dennis Kronenfeld and tackle Harold Corn.

Ladies: For the man in your life, come to Sinclairs For GENERAL ELECTRIC — now at Outdoor Lighting Headquarters Women High School Graduates who want to serve industry in a rewarding, highly creative fashion should consider the career opportunities in the executive secretarial science field which ad- ditional years of study may provide. General Electric's Outdoor Lighting headquarters operation at Hendersonville, and other industries in Western North Carolina, have an unmet need for truly executive type secretaries. Outstanding skills in shorthand and typing are basic foundations. But additional “arts” in secre- tarial science — learned and acquired — are nec- essary for those who are seriously career-minded. Basic skills, aptitude, good grooming, initiative, grace and charm, along with the “common sense” facility for relieving her manager of much de- fae eee tiiese ale the tequirements for the type secretary General Electric and others are seeking. For Both Men and Women — indeed, Gen- eral Electric is looking for people who are pre- pared for the wide variety of assignments available in the electrical industry. Opportunities are open from time to time for machine operators, assem- blers, skilled maintenance men, tool and die makers, design engineers, secretaries, laboratory technicians, accountants, sales engineers, market- ing research experts, draftsmen, process engineers and others. If you would like to explore the possibilities of a career in the rapidly growing electrical industry — leading to assignments in Hendersonville or elsewhere with General Electric — the Employ- ment Specialist in Employee Relations will be glad to talk with you. Call him for an appoint- ment at OXford 2-1431. Before applying, of course, you will want to con- sider very carefully your qualifications and willing- ness to invest your best efforts. General Electric job opportunities represent some of the finest available. Thus, the Department is looking for persons with exceptional qualifications in terms of education, experience, aptitude, and willingness to work. All candidates must have completed high school with a good record; and of course many positions require additional years of educa- tion and experience. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color or national origin.
