East Henderson High School - Highlander Yearbook (Flat Rock, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 240 of the 1968 volume:

| Am the Spirit of East Hign I am not very old. You see, I only came into being eight years ago when East Henderson High School first opened its doors. Since then over 6956 students have come to me _ from Tuxedo, Valley Hill, Dana, and Flat Rock. But this is not all. I am also composed of foreign stock. Five for- eign exchange students have felt my influence and taken me back to their countries. Nestled in the mountains of North Carolina, I occupy a 40 acre modern campus with eight buildings. But I grew so rapidly that it was necessary to add two mobile units last year and I'm still bursting at the seams with 939 students and 41 faculty members headed by the only principal I have ever had, Mr. E. L. Justus. We get along fine. Come with me and meet them, my people, my students. We've worked together and grown together during the 67-68 school year. Let me show you. Uy WE y Ly yy iy, iy Ly Ye Wa Unconfined, Reach Beyond This Campus No campus can bind me. As light diffuses from its source, combating darkness everywhere. I also reach in all directions. My influence is infinite. Whether in class, at home, at a movie, or on the job, my students feel me. They know what I have taught them. They won't disappoint me. And I won't disappoint them either. I am East High Spirit. I have work to do. ey) _ Le _ FAR LEFT: Spirit illuminates the lives of almost 1000 East High Students.

RIGHT: Mrs. Nickell models her size 6 feet in size 15 shoes after Mrs. Lappin’s room defeated hers in the magazine sales cam- paign. Each year my students sell maga- zines. We wanted a new athletic bus last year so with an ambitious spirit, we raised over $7000 and paid cash for it. Well, the 67 profits were spent for band uniforms and instruments. Yes, weve got a band we can be proud of. Not only students worked hard — even teachers worked and competed with each other. Mrs. Whitemire sure knows how to get behind us and give a push. Mr. Ward, our Curtis representative, called her the best sales chairman in North Carolina and we agree. We sold more than any other school in North Carolina last year and even more this year with 5000 subscrip- tions. We even made enough to buy blazers for the chorus. The new music director, Mr. Marion Smith, was in for a surprise with these “goings-on,” but he cer- tainly found a way to show his ap- preciation. He worked day and night with that band and chorus and dedi- cated the Christmas Cantata to the students. It was beautiful. Mr. Smith said he wanted the band and chorus to represent us well and to-make us proud of them. We are. Yes, these are several ways my stu- dents worked. That’s school spirit in action.

Ask each to describe it and theirs will be 1000 different answers. Some will say it is jollity, compan- ionship, and a lively social life. It is the meeting place of friends to laugh together, share a goal or whisper a secret. To others, it’s the work of classes, co-operation, the first steps toward a career. Happily, I see myself reflected in every phase of school activity. East is many people and many things — working and playing together. With the bonds of spirit, they come as strangers and leave as friends. ABOVE: Mr. Ford shows pride in the school by wearing Spirit Stickers as well as in his own life by proudly displaying an apparent weight loss. ABOVE: Freshmen boys compete in vol- leyball. RIGHT: Pep clubbers picket around outer circle with spirit signs. Almost Unnoticed, | Work Steadily Whether it’s a volleyball game in P.E. class, a pep club poster, an inter- scholastic varsity game, or merely supporting the team by attending the game and cheering the boy’s efforts, my students apply themselves com- pletely. We realize that not everyone can play on a varsity team. But when my students do their best regardless of the job, then I know I have done well with them and I am proud.

ABOVE: Football camp claimed a week of summer vacation for these boys who slept on cots in the gym and ate food prepared by cheerleaders while practicing twice a day. Enthusiasm stems from My Powerful Influence Just as I prompt my students to stand up and yell, we inspire our ball players to put forth their best. To- gether we encourage them to win; whether they win or lose, we still stand behind them. I am especially strong in my cheer- leaders. They are always there, cheering, yelling and encouraging. They induce a spirit of enthusiasm like an electric current before a game. Coaches, players, pep club, cheer- leaders and most of all, my students display the interest which makes me great. LEFT: Cheerleaders tantalize the crowd with their miniature footballs. BELOW: Bearcats and Eagles tumble to the ground after a substantial yardage gain. ABOVE: Coach Reese yells encouragement from the sidelines. The classroom, one of the most im- portant places on my campus, is where my students listen, think, and most of all learn. At times, they learn through studying for a test, at other times it’s through paying close atten- tion to a lecture. When I see them participating, [| know that it’s the result of my labor. Undoubtedly, I strive to achieve per- fection in each of my students and teachers to guide them in tum to work for me. We go hand in hand to meet all the problems and hardships that arise and we engulf ourselves in the pleas- ures and fun. Together we are re- sponsible for the survival of our school.

The forty-one faculty members and fifty-eight courses form the core of my being. Without the academic aspects of school, there would be no pep rallies, no ball games, no clubs. There would be no East High. Learning is the objective I require of all my students just as I require my faculty to teach and set examples. Under their guidance, East High thrives. I know them. I know each one of their jobs. LEFT: The double-exposure spells out the reason for the existence of East High — to prepare students for productive futures.

A tenth was added as art joined the curriculum. Three former teachers transferred to other school systems, two retired, two were promoted to jobs as principals, one entered busi- ness, one returned to college to fur- ther her education. Of the new teachers, both Mrs. Barnwell and Miss Jamerson returned to East after absences of one and two years respectively. Mrs. Judith Stevenson found that art appreciation ranked high at East, while Mr. Marion Smith drilled and improved the band and chorus. LEFT AND BELOW: East boasts two former teachers as principals.

Justus Receives Athletic Facility Dedication r. Justus waited a long time for a ae track around the football field. As school opened in the fall, he saw his dream come true. It was no longer just “football field”. In ap- preciation of his dedicated work, the Boosters Club named the field for him, the E. L. Justus Field, home of the Eagles. Mr. Justus graduated from the Uni- versity of North Carolina and _re- ceived his MS from Columbia Univer- sity of New York. After 43 years of teaching experience, Mr. Justus stated that he thought the moral of the stu- dent body was the best in many years. An important step, agr eed the teachers, was taken towards a better understanding between teachers and students. A booster sticker on the lapel, a concerned look for someone’s problem, a warm smile, and a conference with a teacher — all these typify Principal E. L. Justus’ attitude to- ward students and teachers at East High. A true symbol of Mr. Justus’ philosophy was captured in the final picture: whatever sur- face activity occupies his time, his eyes are on the students. 21 22 Because of the strain of over- crowded classes, many teachers found it difficult and sometimes im- possible to give each person the indi- vidual help he needed. To help solve this problem Mr. Robert Ford, Guid- ance Counselor, lent an ear to the tri- fling problems which seemed like mountains to the students. TOP: Mr. Ford performs his morning duty of excusing absences. LEFT: In addition to teaching classes, Mr. Barnwell, has the added weight of being assistant principal. RIGHT: Teachers’ meetings require full attention from Mr. Reese and his fellow teachers. Office Staff Links School Activities Mr. Barnwell in his capacity as an assistant to the principal is the liason between the county school superin- tendent and East High, handling a host of forms, orders, and records. Mr. Reese, also assistant principal, lent a helping hand in running the office. And everybody depends on Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Kay Williams, having completed one year as school secretary, brought experience as well as skill to her position. Both the routine and the novel flowed smoothly through the office under her direction. ABOVE: Mrs. Lappin gives counsel to Memo as he finds obstacles in English.

Sara Lee Nickell Mary Ellen O’Shields Amy Pace Fred Taylor 24 Betty Brown Barbara Hunnicutt Julia Lappin Memo Tak es Advantage of Individual Help in English Retaining six of seven teachers, the English departments lone vacancy left by Jeanette Nelson’s resignation was filled by Mrs. Amy Pace. A native of Henderson county, Mrs. Pace had been teaching in California where she also worked on her doctorate at the University of California at Berkley. A Phi Beta Kappa from U.N. C., Mrs. Pace showed her five classes of juniors the expanse of American literature. When one considers the confusion encountered by the typical high school English student faced with vocabulary, creative writing, book reports, grammar and literature, one can only imagine the confusion en- countered by Memo, the foreign ex- change student from Costa Rico. The individual care given to Memo by Mrs. Lappin symbolizes the care and concern typical of all seven teachers in the English department.

BELOW: Mr. Taylor stresses the impor- tance of correct English usage. 25 Languages Stir Renewed Interest Stude nts proved as interested in foreign languages as in English. Yet, due to the lack of students taking French III a French Club was not organized. Other students showed an interest by overcrowding the French II classes. New ideas for learning French were introduced. Skits were performed and Bingo games were played. French students also participated in the Christmas program. They sang several songs which they had practiced at Mrs. W. C. Hackleman’s home. Many students were interested in the Latin course. On Latin Day, stu- dents displayed the proper Latin dress. Mrs. Catherine Crawford and Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers were the foreign language teachers. LEFT: Earphones, tapes, and tape recorder are a vital part of the French Department.

A close examination of his hand reveals that it also cuts. After quick washup. the hand needs only a band aid. Now De Carlo is ready to resume his task of bending glass. Most chemistry stu- dents agree with Frank that first aid and chemistry go hand in hand. 28 Classes Scatter, New Labs Built Physics students found themselves in unfamiliar surroundings during the fall. Instead of around test tubes, Fisher Burners, and broken glass, classes were held in the auditorium and library because of the new lab equipment being installed. The four work areas with water, gas, and elec- tricity were a great help since there had not been adequate facilities for all science students in the labs. The departure of Mr. Phil Croft caused a shift in class as Mrs. Buris Crowell and Mrs. June Barnwell taught physics and chemistry respec- tively. Man’s life reflects scientific advances just as this flask reflects students’ continuing search for knowledge.

With the retirement of Miss Gar- denia Osteen and the transfer of Pat Cobb, only two teachers remained for the 67-68 school year. With Mr. Ken- neth Hysong joining the department. the number of math teachers was re- duced to three.

Miss Jamer- son replaced Miss D rake as a new group of sophomores had to face Catherine the Great, Richard the Lionhearted, and Henry VIII. Much to their surprise, history brought these people to life. For juniors taking the required course of U.S. History the efforts of the pioneers in establishing our gov- ernment took on a new importance. Evidencing a growing interest in economics and sociology, Mrs. Goss taught two classes, one more than in past years. NDEA funds provided a screen for each social studies classroom, addi- tional maps, ftilmstrips, library and supplementary texts, which contribu- ted much to the history department. With five teachers and twenty so- cial studies classes those two units needed for graduation were not hard to select.

Quite the contrary is true. Finding it neces- sary to spend as much as two hours per night on homework, only seven- teen per cent of the Shorthand I stu- dents registered for a second year. Any business student could verify that the maze of buttons, switches, and levers of the office machines per- plexed even the most conscientious student. New machines such as the mimeoscope added to the difficulties encountered by business students. Recognizing the importance of mas- tering business skills, last spring the 34 teachers of the business department decided to recognize annually the outstanding student from their de- partment. The first student so honored was Roberta Henderson. To further encourage business stu- dents and assist them in locating jobs the business department organized the East High chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America. Open to any student enrolled in a_ business course, the FBLA is sponsored by Mrs. Carole Lawrence, the newcomer to the department, who is also a new- comer to the field of education.

Office Prac- tice, a Federal sponsored program, is a new experimental course. Mrs. ae Dorothy Meador, a special govern- ment employee teaches the two hour course. East’s Introduction to Vocation was primarily turned into a freshman course by Mr. Mack White. I.V. students’ regular study pro- gram was high-lighted by an average ot one field trip every six weeks to commercial and professional estab- lishments. In Distributive Education Mr. Jay Angel explained that the there are two phases in the two year course. The first phase, preparatory D.E. was the study of marketing. The second phase of cooperative D.E., consisted of two hours work at local business operations. Students were required to be employed fifteen hours a week.

Students Continuing a trend begun three years ago, another new course was added in the vocations department. Agriculture 705.5, better known as forestry, introduced the boys to plant and soil science and the application of this knowledge in actual forest management condition. Mr. Rex Ashburn stated that a large number of students were enrolled and from all indications the course will remain in the curriculum next year. In a survey to determine the num- ber of students who had had one or more years of home economics, the sophomores led with 44% followed by freshman with 26%. Of those girls tak- ing home economics, 53% belonged to F.H.A. Realizing that over 60% of the stu- dent body choose not to continue their education, the Vocational De- partment plans to continue the trend of more courses aimed at better prepar- ing students to assume jobs upon grad- uation.

Leading in this major breakthrough was Mrs. Stevenson who came all the way from Ohio. Walking through the jungle of ab- stract paintings, psychedelic boxes, and mobiles hanging from the ceiling gave a feeling of true art appreciation to all students, whether or not they were taking the subject. Parents even got in on the fun on November 10, which was Open House at East. They saw how artistic their son or daughter was. “Would he suc- ceed as an architect?” or, “will she turn out to be a weird artist?” asked many mothers after seeing the model houses and modern paintings. Before Christmas, each student was asked to make a Christmas card and an ornament for a tree, and later two Christmas projects or decorations for the home. Balloons, starch, eggs, egg cartons, tomato cartons, and a host of other materials was used for the ma- jestical Christmas.

Mr. Marion Smith, a graduate of Berry College and a former teacher of Ad- airsville, Georgia, found himself work- ing under a full load with band and chorus. Profits from the magazine sales sup- plied funds for instruments and uni- forms. A Christmas cantata, “Night of Miracles”, was presented to the stu- dents in appreciation for their help.

Miss Ina Daniel, Miss Mary Lou Jone, and the student library assistants faced the enormous task of completely rearranging the over 10,000 books now in our library. With a three week circulation time books rarely needed renewing. Other revisions of the rules made work easier for the librarians. ie —_ A student seeks Miss Daniel’s help in locat- ing an old magazine. shelves Extended; New Books Added: Rules Revised Use of audio visual supplies was facilitated by a new filing system for records and filmstrips. A concentration of afternoon study periods made necessary a limit on the number of students going to the li- brary from each study hall. Having reached the goal of ten books per student, the library con- tinues to shelve new books in an- ticipation of an even higher average of books per student. 47 MD DE SEEGERS AS TOP: Drivers Ed. students anticipate a li- cense tag and wheels of their own.

Robert Tarleton and Hadley Whit- temore attended the Southeastern National Forensic League Congress at Erwin, Tennessee. They acted as rep- resentatives of the seven full-pledged members of the National Forensic League. Mrs. Hunnicutt aided by Miss Jamerson, sponsored an active and creative club.

Band Plays for Games, Pep Rallies Nothing quite matches the excite- ment of a premier performance. Hour after hour the band marched up and down the field waiting for that big mo- ment to come. On homecoming night the band stood outside the gate wait- ing the half-time ceremonies. Unfortu- nately they were doomed to wait a lit- tle longer, for the few rain drops that had fallen on them were only a pre- lude to the torrential downpour that followed, postponing homecoming. Later, when homecoming cere- monies were rescheduled, the band performed almost flawlessly. The audience’s standing ovation proved the wait was worth it. The band’s key spotlight appear- ances were at the PTA’s open house and the school’s sixth period Christ- mas assembly program. Rousing pep rallies were often spurred to a greater intensity by the participation of the band. Many changes were made in con- nection with the band. The band room was repainted, risers were built and accoustical material] put on the wall. New officers chosen were Ron- nie Griffin, Therea Crouch, and Jimmie Lynn Sams. Chorus Presents Christmas Contata Under the direction of Mr. Marion O. Smith, a new addition to the fac- ulty, the chorus steadily progressed. To manifest this, the chorus performed in the Follies and presented a Christmas Cantata to the public. Jo Ann Hassell competed at Davidson College, receiving an excel- lent rating. Since chorus required much prac- tice and hard work, it was added as a subject and one full credit was at- tributed. At the western district music festival in Marion, the cho- rus received a rating of excellent. RIGHT: The chorus takes a break as Mr. Smith works with the pianist to correct the timing.

Assorted projects consumed their time. Six boys worked picking up apples and netted $60.00, thirty-five of which was given to a family whose house burned. Peanut hungry people bought ap- proximately one hundred boxes of peanuts during the regular peanut drive. Plans were made to have contest teams enter the District competition in May, in the forestry, livestock, and dairy divisions.

Interest soared with over 40 at- tending the state convention and plans being completed to send two members to the National Convention in Miami this summer. As the newly elected District 8 ad- viser, Mrs. Margaret Davidson will accompany the girls to Miami, ex- penses paid. “With fingers in all the pies” FHA girls, in cooperation with the Red Busy as Bees” at Conventions, Workshops, and Projects Cross, made ditty bags for servicemen in Vietnam, bedside bags for patients at veteran hospitals, “adopted” grandparents at area rest homes, strengthened international relations with overseas pen pals, and local relations with a county picnic, in ad- dition to presenting two assembly programs at East. The girls sold $200 worth of spots as they joined other county units in operating radio station WHVL for a day. Whether as radio announcers, saleswomen, seamstresses, or “angels of mercy”, the FHA girls proved their abilities to tackle any job.

By compiling a directory of area business firms and setting up a placement bureau for East students, the FBLA encouraged local em- ployment for business students. The school profited from the club as they made covers for typewriters in the business department. Selling zip code directories provided funds for materials for the covers.

One of their new projects was to buy new sheets and pillow cases for the clinic here. Members are especially appreci- ated at Christmas when their annual project was to decorate the tree at the hospital. Several speakers have delivered various speeches to the club on sub- jects concerning health careers and problems. Included in these was the nurse consultant, Mrs. Francis Hill.

Over twenty members worked to- gether during Christmas to pack food and clothing boxes for the poor while simultaneously preparing small gifts for the children in the hospital. Sponsoring both a girl and a boy from each class as citizens of the week and a teacher representing each class highlighted the winter season. Holding a Kool-Aid drive with re- freshments for the highest homeroom promoted enthusiasm among the stu- dents. In order to help the boys in Vietnam even in such a small way, East High donated over two thousand packs of Kool-Aid which the Tri-Hi-Y girls packed and sent to East High alumni in the combat zones to im- prove the tast of their water. In the spring, sloppy day, little kid- die day and dress-up day led to the excitement of the TWIRP contest and the powderpuff football game. Plans to give a scholarship to a worthy student demonstrated the high standards of Christian character that Tri-Hi-Y stands for.

New uniforms were in accord with the new sparkle and spirit they lent to the campus. Four sophomores and two freshmen composed the cheering squad fo r the Junior Varsity players. When a lull in their schedule permitted it, they even were here to cheer for the already en- thusiastic freshmen teams. They too, along with the major- ettes, donned new uniforms. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hawkins these girls soon realized that being a jayvee cheerleader takes as much work as being on the varsity squad.

They found what work was when football camp called for waiting on tables of famished, growing boys. Any one of the girls could verify the fact that summer practice works up appe- tites. For the players, the waitresses were a welcome sight after a few hours of grueling work at the hands of demanding coaches. A change of scenery couldn't hurt anybody. With combined effort, enough 92 money was raised by Pep Club and the cheerleaders to send the entire squad to camp. Usually only two could gO. One of the high points of the num- erous pep rallies was brought on by a deadly rumor that spirit was dead. The gym was pin-drop quiet as a procession of mourners wound its way to the graveside.

OU: Spirit Rampages with Clubbers A mass of green and white adorned the campus as Pep Clubbers rampaged selling shakers to send a group of avid cheerleaders to camp. Students were able to catch a breath when the confusion subsided. The relief was not to last, however, for they kept reappearing with booster stickers, spirit chains, four- leaf clovers, picket signs. Hillybilly costumes consisted of corncob pipes, straw hats, tattered and patched overhauls, and oversized freckles. They were also seen scurrying about lighting bonfires, carrying players’ books, doing a snake dance around the outer circle, “soc-hopping”, shucking corn, setting tables, and feeding boys. Enthusiasm wasn’t confined to East alone, as it spilled over to West via a motor caravan. West was surprised and defeated. 95 Couriers Reach Overseas Grads; Subscriptions Rise Circulation for the Courier reached a new high this year with over 50 per cent of the students subscribing. Papers were sold only on a subscrip- tion basis not only to East, but to eighth graders thus eliminating excess papers, and helping to stabilize the budget.

With a line averaging over 200 pounds the Eagles promised great things. However, as the season ended the best team East had had in its eight years had a 3-5-2 record. Having a new football field didn’t break the jinx as the Eagles finished their second year without a win at home. The opponents scored a total of 136 points, only 8 more than East. Com- pleting only 10 out of 23 extra points attempted, the Eagles learned the hard way that an extra point could make the difference between winning and losing. The Eagles would have won against Renolds and Spruce Pine and tied Edneyville and Erwin, had the extra point conversions been good. High scorer Tony Wilson chalked up 60 points on 9 touchdowns and 6 extra points. Wilson and guard J. C. Hyder were selected for the all- county team. Halfback Mike Alston was high with an average of 4.2 yards per carry. Alston and quarterback Tommy Carter who completed nine touch- down passes, were named to the 1967 Parkway All-Conference Team. 3 Halfback Wilson scrambles for yardages as Hendersonvilles players haul him down. Trailing Seven Points, East Ties One, Loses Two East broke even to start the 1967 season in a non-conference game with Harris High of Spruce Pine. Trailing 13-6 in the fourth quarter with only a few minutes remaining, the Eagles’ halfback, Tony Wilson rampaged 93 yards on a punt return. With the fans yelling at the tops of their lungs, Wil- son’s extra point kick was good, ty- sa score 13-13. he first conference game with T. C. Roberson ended with a heartbreak- ing 6-0 loss for East. With neither team on the scoreboard well into the fourth quarter, the Rams’ 65 yard drive ended in their winning touch- down. The Rams went on to end the season with an 8-1-1 record and took the Parkway Conference crown. The following week, Erwin’s in- vasion of the E. L. Justus field netted them a 7-6 victory as the Eagles once again failed to make the extra point conversion. ABOVE: et Varnadore receives instruc- tions on the sidelines from Coach Reese.

In spite of Hyder’s and Foster's ab- sence, the Eagles played one of their best defensive games against the Blue Devils, taking a quick 7 point lead, the Eagles led Brevard all the way as they won 13-12. Taking on arch-rival, West Hender- son, the following week, the Eagles scored their only shut-out of the sea- son. With two plunges by Alston and Varnadore, a 40 yard scoring inter- 106 ception by Wilson, and a 20 yard pass play to end Sammy Dalton the Eagles chalked up a 26-0 victory. On a 70 yard touchdown drive the Eagles scored in the first quarter against the Owen Warhorses. A fourth quarter TD pass from Carter to end Bryant Diehl rounded out the Eagles scoring and netted them a 14-12 upset over the previously undefeated War- horses. Displaying unusual power, the Eagle line led by J. C. Hyder, held back the belligerent Owen squad. On a rainy night the following weekend this winning streak was broken by a 14-12 Edneyville loss.

But a sudden downpour at halftime caused a cancellation of the homecoming festivities with the Yellow Jackets leading 7-0. On a rain soaked field the Eagles fought back to score twice, with Edneyville scoring only once more, but East’s failure to score the extra point conversions gave Edneyville a 14-12 win. On the second homecoming at- tempt the Eagles tied 32-32 with the Reynold Rockets. Carter threw three touchdown passes totaling 112 yards. Varnadore scored a 2 yard plunge and Wilson rounded out the scoring on a 44 yard interception. Trailing North Buncombe 19-14 in the fourth quarter the Eagles made a desperate attempt to score as Alston’s dash into the end zone was nullified. In the final game of the season, the Hendersonville Bearcats jumped to a quick lead and the Eagles were never able to catch up as the game ended in a 41-19 loss. In evaluating the season, the Eagles had size, strength, and experience but couldn’t seem to win. ABOVE: Captain J. C. Hyder receives in- struction from Sam Reese on the sideline.

This loss was one of two defeats for the Jayvees. Overall they obtained a 5-2 record. West Henderson became the first of five wins. Cutright threw 20 yards to Roper for the Eagles’ second quarter T.D. tying the score 7-7. After half- time fullback Denny Pace scored the winning T.D., on a five yard run giv- ing them a 14-7 win. _ Other seasonal highlights came from a hopeless looking game with 110 the Edneyville Jackets, who led the Eagles 7-0 with less than six minutes left in the game. Suddenly, halfback Denny Pace crashed through the middle of the line from the 30 to tie the score. With hope and determina- tion once again the Eagles obtained the ball to rally a 60 yard drive, fea- turing runs by McCall and Pace, who plunged to score from the 2 yardline. To evaluate the season the Jayvees 5-2 record received second place among the Parkway’s Jayvees. RIGHT: Coach Jay Angel tensely watches as his team plays.

But the enthusiastic Rams of Rober- son brought the lead to only eight points at the end of the third quarter and bolted ahead 59-58 midway the fourth quarter. Immediately the Eagles took action. Bryant Diehl and Mike Harmess pumped in four points. Pete Johnson’s lay up was good along with four straight free throws that followed, giving East a 68-63 lead. With two seconds remaining, Harness netted two to put the Eagles out of reach. The victory left East with a 2-4 overall record. In a previous confer- ence game in spite of the 16 and 15 points respectively by Diehl and Carter, the Eagles suffered a 71-59 loss to North Buncombe thus giving East a 1-1 conference mark as the Christmas holidays began. 112 FRONT TO BACK: Pete Johnson, Frank De- Carlo, Charles Nabors, T.

Before the end of the first month, the Eagles had grabbled their second, third, and fourth conference wins. East took a 80-33 conference defeat from Hendersonville. A late basket point rally by Carter in the West game gave the Eagles a 57-56 victory, and a 2-2 conference mark. East led West at the first quarter by a point, but trailed by one at the half, 30-29, and by two at the end of the third quarter. As the last seconds of the game ticked away, the Eagles trailed 56-55: but a 20 foot jumper by Carter decided the final score, 57-56 over West. Against Edneyville, Carter and Mike Harness paced the Eagles in a thrilling 53-51 win over the Jackets, with 15 and 14 points respectively. The Jackets led 29-28 at the half, but the Eagles outscored their opponent and forged ahead in the 4th quarter to grab a brisk 53-51 victory. In a previous game, North Bun- combe defeated East 71-59. In the second meeting with North Bun- combe, the Eagles clawed the Black- hawks for a 64-54 win. The victory placed East Henderson second in the conference with a 4-2 and a 6-8 over- all record.

Two of the four were conference games. Carter and Diehl paced the Eagles with 20 and 14 points, respectively to defeat the West High Falcons, 55-41. At halftime the Eagles lead 25-16 and held a continuous lead for the rest of the game. In spite of the double figures of Carter, Diehl and Wilson, the Bear- cats had forged ahead 32-21 at the half, winning by a final score of 66-49 to give East its third conference loss. Rounding out seasonal action, the 116 Eagles swamped the Yellow Jackets 69-50. Carter dumped in 18 points, Mike Harness got 17, and Robert Nelson netted 16. This victory pushed the Eagles into second place in the conference with a 7-3 mark and 11-9 overall. _ Evaluating the season, the Eagles advanced to the County Tournament playoff against the Bearcats, but failed to get the championship for the second consecutive year. In 2A Dis- trict Tournament the Eagles were de- feated in the semifinals by T. C. Roberson, 33-31 after defeating West 66-54 and Franklin 50-45.

Jayvee Eagles Hold 8-14 Record The 1967-68 East High jayvees managed only an 8-14 record. The boys defeated West Henderson three times, Owen twice, with Erwin, Bre- vard, and Edneyville falling once each. John Berry led team scoring with an 8.5 average in 19 games. Bill Shipman, John Bloom, Roy Cutright, Eddie Dinkins and Buddy Roper all took high scoring honors at least once during the season. The most exciting game was the jayvees defeat of Bre- vard, 52-50. Eddie Dinkins and John Berry provided the big spark for a second-half surge to give the Eagles the 52-50 win. Inexperience was a major handicap to the freshman team this year. Teamwork will be the chief goal of next years jayvee team. Center Denny Pace totaled the top score of 32 points one game and compiled over a 20 point average for the year.

Losing the first match to Spruce Pine, the team sailed smoothly to vic- tory in the other eight matches of the regular season. Three boys, Mike Stepp, Tony Varnadore and J. C. Hyder, remained undefeated. In the Western North Carolina Regional Wrestling in Charlotte, Mike Stepp made it to the semi-finals before being elimated.

Senior catcher Paul Stepp demonstrated his ability as a hitter as he led the team with a .448 batting average. First baseman Dean Ward was second in hitting for the team with a .333 average. Stepp, Ward, and pitcher Wade Collins were chosen all-conference. One highlight of the season was a no hit game against Hendersonville pitched by Collins, the team’s most valuable player. A walk to Ward re- sulted in the Eagle’s only run of the game as the Eagles edged Hender- sonville 1-0. In the last game of the season the Eagles proved to be spoilers as they beat undefeated Reynolds. This loss forced the Rockets into a playoff with T.C. Roberson for the conference championship with Roberson as the victor. Commenting on prospects for the 1968 season, Coach Paul Nickell re- marked that the team had several good young boys upcoming, but it is hard to replace one outstanding player and it will be extremely diffi- cult to replace three such as Collins, Stepp, and Ward.

As the state track meet, Van Barn- well, Mark Bloom, and Greg Kilpat- rick represented East in the broad jump. Easlier in the season the mile relay team composed of Mike Har- ness, Tony Wilson, Mike Alston and Van Barnwell placed third in the W,N.C. Invitational Interscholastic Relays at Brevard.

Books and more books slid out of the over crowded space. The five minutes between classes found stu- dents grabbing books and running to class before the bell rang. Time was tightly scheduled for teachers as well as students. Any book besides the text was put aside to be read later. The mad rush that began at 8:30 a.m. was not even over at 4:00 as there were many extra curricular activities that still demanded time. xes with ap- Mrs. Barnwell rela ple in the teachers’ lounge.

Bits of conversation could be heard among the students such as “what a hard English test!” and “have you seen the new guy at school?” while the faculty discussed the hardships of the teaching profes- sion. After lunch, everyone tried to stretch the remaining minutes before bell time while munching apples or Savoring ice cream.

WAVE Nc KO ay Varied Settings Create Atmosphere of Classroom “Tve got to run to class,” a phrase frequently heard throughout East’s campus, could mean a multitude of things. For some students it could be going to English class to work on a group report, while for others it might mean scurrying to the auditorium to perform a dramatic skit. Band mem- bers, during warm weather, took ad- vantage of the football field for prac- tice sessions. Art students worked side by side and sometimes as a group to produce collages, papier, colles, and various other projects. Even the lunchroom served as a class when students took Air Force aptitude test. The space called a classroom and the word class itself had various meanings, but the students realized that the elusive term education was the real reason for their being at East.

They were eee highschool students now. The ele- a mentary grades belong to the past. Many experiences awaited _ this freshman class. They were soon able to find their way around. They were ready to accept the challenges of highschool life and eager to partici- pate, learn, and achieve. Freshmen puzzle over registration forms.

Friends and strang- ers were initiated together into the mysteries of high school schedules and procedures. Assemblies and pep rallies broke the monotony of going to classes. Fresh- men learned the rules for conduct in the auditorium and the gym. Jumping Jacks, Windmills, and push- ups, familiar exercises, were twice a week occurrences. Not only did this serve as a break from other classes, but also served to condition their and their minds, and taught them good sportsmanship. Dennis Young finds E.H.H.S. different and challenging.

It was their turn to feel that they should be looked up to. Of course, the teachers still expected them to listen intently and weave their web of day- dreams outside of class. Like the intri- cate spider web they wrote about in English, the junior’s life was a mass of threads that they were trying to weave into a definite pattern. Though the pattern seemed a little hazy at times, little by little it began to take shape. As the year progressed the meaningful spider web took on a new significance for the juniors.

Some say it’s easier; some Say it’s harder, but all agree that it’s been their most important year yet. They were a vital part of school life. It was the year that the National Honor So- ciety invited qualified juniors to join. Sports and cheerleading had many well co-ordinated juniors in their ranks.

Though perhaps it was not as easily recognized, school spirit burned also during the rest of the week. Seniors lead the way in supporting their school. Many mundane jobs such as running off tests, managing the sick room and counting the lunch money made the faculty’s job a little easier while it taught the seniors re- sponsibility. Perhaps this kind of school spirit looks tame after the raucous display at pep rallies, but it’s the quiet kind that moves the school forward.

The class of 68 spent their last year studying the foundations in more detail. The reading gave way to English literature, and the phonetics of speech and drama. The writing became es- says, and dreaded term papers. Good old ‘rithmetic turned over a puzzling new leaf in physics and advanced math. The subjects were involved, but after twelve years, what do you ex- pect? They should have spent more time studying. However, diligent workers were hard to find and many delinquent seniors crammed madly on the night before mid-terms. Really they had not changed much from the kid in the first grade. They still hated homework. Sacrificing her lunch period, Juanita Os- teen grabs the few minutes available to her for reading and study.

No, subtle changes marked the difference. The challenges had been answered — the challenge of life.

Sea and land, sky and air, begot me Somewhere. Where I go from here and now, or if I go at all again, the Maker of the sea and land, of sky and air, can tell. There is only one man in the world and his name is All Men. There is only one woman in the world and her name is All Women. There is only one child in the world and the child’s name is All Children. There is only one Maker in the world and his children cover the earth and they are named All God’s Children. from “Timesweep”, Honey and Salt Used by permission of Mrs. Sandburg Author, Poet, Neighbor, Carl Sandburg Dies at 89 After twenty-two years of residence in Flat Rock, East’s famous neighbor, Carl Sandburg died on July 28, 1967, at the age of 89. During a life that spanned nearly a century, the author-poet wrote with the inimitable style that was easily recog- nizable. A poet that encompasses Amer- ica, his works depicted a faith that transcends denominations. Plans to establish the Sandburg home, “Connemara, as a historic site have been drawn. The goat herd, the exten- sive library and the traditional old house and grounds will be preserved as they were in Sandburg’s lifetime. We are proud that he chose to live among us. LEFT: Mrs. Sandburg discusses plans to establish Connemara as a historic site with Ann Justice and Mrs. O’Shields. BELOW: Mr. Sandburg is pictured on one of his frequent strolls in front of his home. Com- ing to Flat Rock in 1945, he lived here, wrote, and kept his famous goat herd until his death twenty-two years later. 225 BELOW: Keith Wilkie intently watches the director.

These purposes are the results of interests, activities, clubs, and scholastic courses. You can see that my influence subtly molds the minds and interests of students.

Students rush to the buses or cars while others prepare for an after school meeting. School is over, but I'm still there. I'm in each of them; I don’t stop my work at the end of the day. I have to stay behind them to prompt them to do their homework or come out to a ballgame to support the team. You see, I’m continuous in- side my students. Just as their hearts beat involuntarily, I am there pump- ing enthusiasm and ambition. LEFT: Students pile into their cars after school. BELOW: Scrambling to buses, book-laden students leave East temporarily. I's Not an End: Just Another Spin of the Wheel Now you understand my campus, my teachers, my courses, sports, clubs, and most important, my students. Yes, I’m proud of them all. I have seen my graduates receive college degrees, serve their country, become parents and useful citizens with important places in the com- munity. I have seen them come back to visit me — proudly carrying their child — saying thank you to a teacher they may not have appreciated so much while at East. They have cheered my athletic teams to victory but stuck with them when they lost. They have looked back at the “good old days.” I know that I still live in them — over 1250 graduates since 1960. Soon there will be 186 more East High alumni and 300 freshmen, scared, excited, hesitant, yet eager, who will come to me and call East home. Yes, I live on. 232 i e 5 i, ee vis oa ey a Siren Opa rst t rita | (Sarees Spee Se a = = pee (et ce : y H rf ie Cah BLY, hss i eat Ba
