From the exchanges of experiences, the comments of faces, the quiet yet never silent moods, the maddening rushes, comes life. Now is a year spent in the company of friends. Now is amoment of working, playing, thinking. Now is East Henderson High School. Now it is forming 900 lives.

The individuals are affected by, yet not conditioned to the ideas of others; always there lives the unsatisfied desire to discover for themselves, to dream, to imag- ine, to become. Now amidst the warnings and expectations, there is direction. BELOW: Self-expressions are attempted in painting. OPPOSITE PAGE, BELOW: Faye, Diane, and Tony practice geo- metrical drawing. OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP: The now world looks up to the future. Now the characters function as individu- als; they coalesce into a throbbing mass of energy and enthusiasm. The hours of quiet concentration mingle with the massive group activities. Now there is belonging; now there iS participation. BOTTOM: Students explode with excitement when snow forces early closing of school. FAR RIGHT: Basketball players fight hard and long to win a game. TOP RIGHT: Cheerleaders wait in hot sun before taking ride in Labor Day parade. Ee WZ BENDER A e 2 Now the restless individuals live below the superficial movements and expressions. Now they seek purpose and meaning. From the frustrating encounters with life they unmask truth and with each experience meet the challenge to reveal themselves. Sometimes they fail. They begin to see each event as part of the collection of time, not as an isolated instant. Now the realization of self broadens; the journeys to destinations gain momentum. TOP RIGHT: For numerous students work doesn’t end at school. ABOVE: Troy is faced with many obligations and responsibilities. BOTTOM RIGHT: After school activities reveal student interests. Now there is change — each second brings a readjustment to beliefs, attitudes and actions. The characters face reality; they make decisions; they mature. As the internal changes gradually push their way to the sur- face, new charactters continue to evolve. The memorized routines fade away; the lives are altered. But always there remains the imprint of... NOW. FAR LEFT: The mature person listens and formulates beliefs. LEFT: Tony finds “white stuff’ needs to be moved before he can even get home. BELOW: Snow brings change to East’s campus and gives students more than nine days of unexpected vacation. 13 14 Julia Lappin, active with AFS, is Teacher of Year Because of her concern for students and her activ- ity in various organizations, the Highlander staff chose Mrs. Julia Lappin as the ’68-’69 Teacher of the Year. Acting as one of the co-ordinators of AFS at East, Mrs. Lappin helped on the AFS assembly program and supper, the Donkey Ball Game, and the Lollipop Campaign from which she gained her nickname “Lollipop Lappin.” Another well-remembered event — the assembly program by the Shakespearean actors, came to East because of Mrs. Lappin’s efforts. Added to her list of activities was her responsibility for preparing sen- iors for graduation ceremonies. By sponsoring a Christmas auction, Mrs. Lappin helped to get funds for the faculty lounge furniture. Outside East, Mrs. Lappin participated in church activities and devoted time to being a Sunday school teacher. Although these activities would seem to ex- haust all her time and energy, one could always find Mrs. Lappin Willing to help a student writing a speech, making a bulletin board, and finding sup- plementary materials to improve her classes. 15 In each student’s efforts, laughter, disap- pointments, comments . . . the life of East High continues. Each expresses his thoughts and moods, speaks his opinions, reveals himself. Now, from the last-second victory of a ball game, the day-dreams in seemingly the world’s dullest class, the embarrassing situ- ations, the crowded halls comes STUDENT Se, SCHOOL OPENS New year ushers 1n new faces, hopes, and frustrations ABOVE: Mr. Nickell discovers that after the first day of school his feet aren’t the same. RIGHT: Senior, Joe Smyth, is eager to offer bargain prices on elevator tickets to freshmen. OPPOSITE LEFT: Linda Pearson lends a hand in the seemingly endless task of correcting student schedules. OPPOSITE TOP: Nancy Norris and Troy Pace find that the begin- ning of their senior year means new problems. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: The same old helmets are piled year after year but a new year brings new faces to fill them. 18 Upper-classmen were glad to lend a ‘‘friendly helping hand” to gullible freshmen by directing them to classes in the imaginary basement and “‘G”’ build- ing. Unsuspecting newcomers, eager to become part of things, bought mimeographed elevator tickets. These tickets proved to be of little use when a thorough search of the gym revealed no elevator! Registration, fees, and new locker combinations were all part of the opening of school. Quite a few changes were evident. The number of mobile units increased to four making the campus resemble a small trailer park. A new senior class had to be contended with, too. Assemblies are out-of-sight Censorship? Possibly with assemblies becoming so risque. After all what more can be expected with Mr. Fisher parading around with his trouser legs hitched up, male teachers performing in a chorus line, and senior boys reciting poetry while clad in diapers. Of course all was done in fun and created a break in the course of studying and working. Students never knew what to expect when the cur- tain was drawn after the pledge of allegiance and alma mater had been said. Coach Williams might be “playing” the piano, a guest speaker might be found, or the whole band might be performing. RIGHT: In a pep assembly, Joe Smyth and Frank DeCarlo decked- out in diapers announce that they and East love Mrs. Hawkins more now that she is two and give her a farewell gift, diapers. FAR RIGHT: With garb to match the atmosphere of the Mother Goose assembly, Mr. Davis impersonated a hillbilly hippie. ABOVE: “Maestro’”’ Tom William’s piano concerto seems to be a beautiful accomplishment, until the piano slipped from under his fingertips and the music played on. RIGHT: The Veterans of Foreign Wars present American flags to each homeroom representative in an assembly featuring the history of the flag and star-spangled banner. 20 ENA 1 2 AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE Lollipop sales boost AFS If any word became synonymous with AFS this year it was “lollipops” thronging the campus with boxes upon boxes of suckers, AFS student committee members sold these lollipops to insure funds to sup- port an exchange student next year. AFS’s other main money raising project, the donkey basketball game, found students playing each other and fire departments competing for a plaque. Rounding out the organization’s main activities at East was an AFS supper to acquaint new members with AFS and also an assembly program which was later presented to the Rotary Club. ABOVE: Debbie Hammond and Chris Herzog, an exchange student from Chile attending Hendersonville High, participate in an as- sembly program stressing world understanding.

FAR RIGHT: Pep Club president Gary Poindexter peddles spirit shakers to Brenda Johnson. PEP CLUB The eagle's soul is alive Spirit is undefinable, intangible and yet it is there. East’s largest club, the Pep Club, works incessantly to nourish it, raise it and keep it alive in the hearts and minds of some 900 students at East High. Their efforts take many forms, from a large victory banner at football and basketball games to a sweet cake that helps ease the pains of defeat. Their efforts seem to have born fruit as in the final months of the year East won the Henderson County track championship and the co-championship of the Parkway Conference in baseball. The faces in the club change from year to year but their goal is always the same. On a football field miles from home, a small and foreign basketball court in a strange county and a baseball diamond cut from the rough, they are there. When a team wins everyone claims them but de- feat is a different tune. This segment of students hides their disappointment at defeat and helps to bolster a lagging team spirit. That’s what the Pep Club is all about. 25 ABOVE: Varsity cheerleaders lead the fans in the countdown during the final seconds of the ballgame. ABOVE RIGHT: Jayvee cheerleaders from front to back are: Sheila Baynard, Debbie Warren, Martha Ragan, Sandra Hoots, and Camille Lancaster. RIGHT: “‘Let’s go boys, we want to win!” OPPOSITE PAGE: Varsity cheerleaders are Kay Mullinax, Pam Drake, Irish Pearce, Brenda Simpson, and (seated) Kay Corn, Linda McKinnish. 26 CHEERLEADERS Cheerleading squad moves Eagles through best season The 1968-1969 varsity cheerleaders really had something to cheer about as East Henderson had the best records yet in football, basketball, and wrestling. The squad boasted six members — the smallest number in East’s nine year history. Both jayvee and varsity cheerleaders sported new uniforms this sea- son. The girls presented several unique rallies featuring skits and greater class participation. 27 POWDERPUFF Proceeds from powderpuff tilt used for minature cannon Brisk October winds failed to stay six football teams practicing simultaneously after school. After several weeks of practice, the annual powderpuff melee was on. The two powderpuff teams clashed on the same night as the contest between the rival Key and Inter- act clubs. The junior varsity and varsity teams made the scene as coaches and court members. In the powderpuff clash, the junior-freshman team 28 jumped off to an early lead but the senior-sophomore team wasn’t to be daunted as they came storming back to win a hard-fought contest 21-31. In a tough defensive battle the Interact club main- tained its tradition by defeating the Key club 13-10. The Key and Interact clubs received a total profit from the game of $136.00. The clubs used the pro- ceeds to buy a miniature cannon for ball games. ABOVE: Powderpuff activities were highlighted by the crowning of the queen and “‘her’’ court during half-time. Court members from left to right are Ricky Johnson, Todd Dorsey, Charlie Hunni- cutt, David Hunnicutt, and Hubert Gibson.

BOTTOM: Homecoming court members are; Front Row: Sharon Paris, Nancy Norris, Kathy Pace. Second Row: Judy Kilpatrick, Dale Capell, Penny Dotson, Janet Moore, Vickie Freeman, Pam Drake, Sandy Roper. HOMECOMING Queen Nancy Norris reigns over first homecoming win For days a cloud of doubt hung over homecoming festivities. The final verdict rested with the weather. For the second year in a row homecoming festivities were postponed, this time for three weeks — moving the event to the last game of the season. All candidates for homecoming queen and court were presented to the student body in assembly be- fore the final judging and voting took place. When the final vote was in, Nancy Norris had been elected queen. For the first time, homecoming activities were ac- companied by a win on the football field; 23-21 over North Buncombe.

At ball games, Tri-Hi-Y members provided refreshments for the varsity cheerleaders, and refreshments were also given to teachers during exams. Continuing their services, members worked at the YMCA on Saturdays and also wrote to Henderson County boys in Vietnam. At each basketball game, a member gave the devotional. RIGHT: Mrs. Copolillo offers some advice to the Tri-Hi-Y during a club meeting. FAR RIGHT: Pam Bell and Dale Capell box food for the needy for the Thanksgiving season.

RIGHT: Both donkey and rider appeared to be asleep. ee 34 Donkey Basketball Players get a big “kick” out of donkey basketball game Brave riders, stubborn donkeys, bruising falls, and two thousand smiling faces highlighted the annual donkey basketball game sponsored by the AFS stu- dent committee. The event featured hobby horse races and two games between the senior-freshmen team versus the junior-sophomore team and the Val- ley Hill Fire Department against the Blue Ridge Fire Department. LEFT: Nancy’s donkey decided it was “‘back to the barn’’ time. BELOW: Bryant Deihl finds that two donkeys are better than 35 CAMPUS SCENES Jokes, lunch, gum, rule 11- all become familiar scenes Practically ‘living’ at East for seven hours of 180 days, students found their lives consisted of hearing the greatest joke of the year —in homeroom; smoothly passing gum to a hungry classmate — without getting caught; racing to the lunchroom to beat one third of the school to french-fries; finding a student council “cop” writing you a ticket for breaking rule 11 (aren't some things worth a dime?). These and other experi- ences were a part of the now world at East. Each was viewed in a different way by every student. RIGHT: Boys gang up in homeroom to discuss the latest on their favorite subjects. BELOW: The trick is to avoid the teachers watchful eye when passing gum in class. “OPPOSITE PAGE: Lunch hour provides a break in the boring ritual of classes.

RIGHT: Dale Capell takes a minute to rest before driving home after a long, hard day at school. 38 CAMPUS SCENES Joe takes camera everywhere Seeming to be everywhere at once, yet unnoticed, the camera captured many diverse things throughout the year. A ring lost in several inches of snow, the library when it was cluttered with paint cans and protective canvas, a student expression-anything was suitable subject matter. Their experiences both big and small combined to construct their memories of NOW. INTERACT Interact goes co-educational, service has a feminine touch The words East Henderson High School on the face of “A” building were permanently illuminated by the lighting purchased by the Interact Club. A high-flying replica of the eagle, East’s mascot was also displayed under the school’s name. Interact members parked cars at ballgames and sponsored soc-hops. For the first time, girls were selected to join the club. Ten girls were chosen because of their qualities of leadership, dependability and character.

KEY CLUB AND KEYETTES Mike Frady is selected t Mike Frady discusses his recent appointment as Key Club Inter- national Trustee with club sponsor, Mr. Angel. Frady won the post at a district convention in Charleston, S.C. 42 erve at international post The Key Club acted as co-sponsor with the Interact Club to organize the annual game between the rival clubs. Keyettes acted as water-boys for their male cohorts. Unfortunately for the players, Interact just wouldn't be put down. A patriotic side was shown when the group pur- chased both a North Carolina state flag and a United States flag. These were displayed near the Eagle roster on the gym wall. Several members attended a convention in Charleston, S.C. on March 15-17 with representatives from other schools in the area.

FIFTH ROW: Tony Wilson, Jimmy Jones, Bruce Levi, Chuck Ward, Larry Suttles. 43 TARS Teenage Republicans work for a ‘new day’ in America Nixonites led by a McCarthyite — it could only happen in the Teen-age Republican Club. After “‘her man fell by the wayside,” Mrs. Mary Ellen O’Shields accepted the role of the TAR sponsor. Club activities swelled with enthusiasm as election time neared. In late September forty-five students responded to an invitation by the club to see Richard Nixon in person at a mammoth rally in Spartanburg. In the days leading up to the election the club con- ducted three presidential polls among the students in which Mr. Nixon rose from a 38% low in Septem- ber to a 55% high November 5, 1968 at the TAR’s mock electoral college assembly. Teen-age Republicans played a major role in the campaign of several local candidates. Their efforts were especially apparent in the 32nd senatorial race where Carroll Wilkie was elected the first GOP senator from Henderson County in 68 years. ABOVE: TARs present when the photograph was taken are Faye Hill, Stuart Redden, Ann Elliot, Haldey Whittemore, Robert Tarle- ton and (seated) Evelyn Hill and Mike O’ Neal.

JUNIOR-SENIOR Cobblestone streets, Spanish villas, and mermaid On the night of April 22 spilled paint, cardboard boxes, and patched parachutes were transformed into a seaside village to set the mood for the Junior- Senior theme, “Along the Spanish Main.” A “Live Mermaid” winked at dancers as they passed by her sea chest. Memo Zuniga, Costa Rican exchange stu- dent, and Theresa Steppe entertained everyone by performing a Costa Rican folk dance. Music was provided by the ‘‘Caravelles.”’ ABOVE RIGHT: Bill Case supervised Jr.-Sr. preparations.

As in years past Mrs. Sara Lee Nickell directed the production which played to a capacity crowd on opening night. LEFT: Mrs. Nickell enthusiastically demonstrates the point she is trying to get across while the cast looks on. BELOW LEFT: Everyone is in good spirits after a successful production.

ABOVE: Jones’s campaign literally invited students to join the bandwagon. ELECTIONS Issue-oriented campaigns paves way for Pace victory Make-shift voting booths were set up as usual in the spring and students began thinking about those they wanted to lead their school in the coming year. Campaign stickers ranging from such forms as tee- pees and ramblers to sticks of gum, old hats and snoopy appeared throughout the campus. Suspense mounted as a weekend had to pass be- fore the final results were announced, only then to be complicated by a run-off election. Troy Pace emerged as president of the student body. In other races Nace Pearce was elected vice- president; Sheilda Jones, secretary; and Debbie Hammond, treasurer. ABOVE: Vice-president Gary Jones offers students experience in his bid for president.

Besides its activities this year, the club also presented two scholarships and for the highest scholastic average, a plaque to student body president, Mike Mullinax, during the 1968 senior awards assembly. For the second consecutive year, NHS was responsible for the chocolate sales campaign. Completing the year’s activities was the beginning of a NHS scrapbook and bulletin board.

NHS members often conduct classes in the absence of teachers. 59 Student Council strives for greater student participation The Student Council strived harder this year to bring student-body government closer to the stu- dents. Homeroom representatives reported the council’s plans and actions directly to the home- rooms and students were encouraged to air their ideas and suggestions to their representative. The Council initiated a plan which resulted in the placement of American flags in each homeroom by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The yearly project was the building of a senior fountain. The council also commissioned Mr. Robert Gerstacker to paint an oil portrait of Mr. Justus which was hung in the library.

Often a student fails to see this purpose. But he is not con- tent. Gradually each student comes to realize the importance of the thousands of books, the pages of notes, the hours of concentra- tion which characterize his stay at East. Now, attempting to stimulate and develop thought, is ACADEMICS. oy eae Ree eer oma atitncemmmmtiinaiiS co eRROMNREES 62 ADMINISTRATION Mr. Justus pride in school rubs off on East's students Mr. Justus’ pride in East High is reflected by many things, large and small, which he does. Among these are picking up trash on the school grounds, which he could even be seen doing some Saturdays, and taking pictures with the camera that the faculty gave him for Christmas. Mr. Justus attended every ball game and tried to be present at every activity concerning East High’s students. One of the outstanding points of Mr. Justus’ character is the fact that he cares about each individual East High student and shows this by trying to grant every reasonable request on the stu- dent’s part. 64 65 OFFICE STAFF Schedule changes, signing excuses, keep office busy At the beginning of the year Mr. Ford, Mr. Justus and Mr. Reese were in a constant move changing schedules. It seemed every other person was in the wrong class. Then the middle of the year, they became busy when some students transferred to other schools and new students came in. Mrs. Williams counted money, typed letters, kept files and answered questions. She also had to keep watch over the phone. Office girls helped Mrs. Williams while Mr. Ford counseled and Mr. Reese taught geography. ABOVE: Gail Duncan struggles between taking a message and finding a student. RIGHT: Mr. Reese and Mr. Ford sign many excuses because of the flu epidemic. 66 LEFT: Lou Ann prepares an envelope for Mr. Ford. BELOW: Mrs. Williams counts the money before it is taken to the bank.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Numerous calls are placed to various colleges to obtain additional information about admission requirements. 68 eee Rebedeieayterese iF COUNSELING Every school year begins and closes with Mr. Ford The office of the guidance counselor is a ‘‘must”’ stop for many students at the beginning of the school year. Many acquired information about scholarships, suggestions concerning choosing subjects, and often important decisions were made by students with his help. Mr. Ford has been advising East Henderson High School for three years, and his friendly but firm counseling has helped many to make their choice of college and professions. Mr. Ford listens as a student talks about her college plans. 69 70 FOREIGN LANGUAGE Students find that foreign language needs extra study With rather small French Il and French Ill classes, it became apparent that students found this language difficult to master. For second year students was the requirement to prepare French notebooks, and French Ill students carried on this project. In the Latin department came new books with new ideas. Mostly freshmen and sophomores took Latin | and Latin Il, but you could find a few juniors and seniors who needed credits staggering through it. RIGHT: Bill makes use of French electronic lab. BELOW: Alice Brown finds that Latin isn’t all classwork. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Lit books take new outlook Good-bye Silas Marner. This year the English de- partment received new books. The sophomores final- ly got rid of Silas Marner but Macbeth still rates with the seniors. The new literature books escape from the ordinary chronological approach and take the thought-provoking thematic outlook. The selec- tions are arranged in the book according to the ideas which they present. At least 200 volumes of supple- mentary books were added to the department. A few changes were made in the faculty of the English department this year. Losing three familiar teachers, Mrs. Nickell, Mrs. Hunnicutt, and Mrs. Pace, we gained two new teachers, Mrs. Gerstacker and Miss Seaton. ABOVE: Huckleberry Finn was a familiar sight among the juniors this year.

Practically non-existent for the first semester it experienced a mid-year re-organization. With an average of seven or eight members present at meetings, the club was unable to function widely. However, three members, Hadley Whittemore, Debbie Hammond, and Jackie Jones did put their speaking experience to use by participating in the Voice of Democracy Contest at East.

The beginning of the school year 69 brought little change except that the staff was composed of all first year member with the exception of Dottie Dill, editor. Hectic days in D-8 resulted over articles that had to be written but the news was scare, layouts wouldn't fit and deadlines were always an unfriendly reminder that more work had to be done. It wasn’t unusual to see a Courier staff member running around frantically gathering quirks for “The Eagles Nest’. In addition to Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Skyles, a student teacher, offered assistance during her short stay at East. Through all the confusion and inexperience, “The Voice of East High’’ came through loud and strong every six weeks. TOP: Layouts are done before publication can be sent to the printers.

A visit to the hospital and four stitches later she returned to the soc-hop to dance. A few weeks later, the staff began plans to attend the Southern Interscholastic Press Association in Lexington, Virginia. For the first time the staff de- cided to run a person for president of SIPA. Bill Shipman was elected to represent the staff in April. This workshop was held April 1, 1969 for junior members who will work on the 1970 Highlander.

Usually geometry has been scheduled only after a student had taken both years of algebra. As before, business math was also offered. With the replacement of Mr. Barnwell by Mrs. Copolillo, the department experi- enced another change. Probably one of the major additions which influenced many students was Mrs. Copolillo’s requirement that her students write a term paper on well known mathematicians. OPPOSITE PAGE: Robert Tarleton uses the slide rule in his advanced math class.

SCIENCE Minor explosion im science department is humorous Mixing seriousness with humor, the science de- partment underwent various changes, especially the fact that Mrs. Oechslin received her master’s in biol- ogy education last summer. Among the strange hap- penings in F building were a minor explosion in Mrs. Barnwell’s room, a ‘‘population explosion’ in the guppie’s fish tank, and for the first time students worked with flies — adding to the usual routine of dissecting pigs and worms. F-5, well known as the “theater in F building’ because of the many movies shown, also offered to visitors a hot cup of coffee specially prepared by Mr. Fisher.

While there was U.S. history and world history required for juniors and sophomores, there was civics, geography, and eco- nomics and sociology for freshmen and seniors. Some freshmen learned of the current day activities and juniors learned how and when the west was won. Sophomores found a completely new world from which they lived, while many seniors explored the resources of the world. With five social studies all students had a chance to learn what this world is and why. LEFT: The United States seal in the world history mobile unit creates a patriotic atmosphere for students.

Representing East they preformed a Christmas concert and a cantata this year. Hard work and practice brought appreciation shown by listeners in the form of applause for a job well done. The East High chorus, like the band, has made plans for entering into higher competition next year against other chorus groups. LEFT: Under the direction of Marion O.

For six weeks of the sum- mer vacation members practiced half-time shows and new numbers. During football season, band stu- dents went home very late after long tiring practices of musical half-time routines. Following football season the band prepared a Christmas concert which they preformed at Balfour, Dana, and East. Adding to their long list of activities, the band marched in the Apple Festival Parade, and traveled to Bristol, Virginia, to observe a band con- test which Mr. Smith hopes the band will participate in next year.

The students also found out that when a new teacher arrived he also brought with him new ideas which all but killed the person doing them. In the rush-rush class of physical education being late to class was something very common, as in the case of broken shoelaces or no towels in the dress- ing room. Bowling was a new experience for many students. Determination to get all the pens down usually turned out to be defeat when the ball went in the gutter or rolled backwards.

During the year they visited Brunson’s Furniture, encountered modern architectural designs, and travelled to Pumpkin Shell Kindergarten to observe children and child care. To the students in agriculture and other vocational courses came such new experiences as welding, which required patience and practice to perfect.

The girls participated in many activities throughout the year. At Christmas the club dressed dolls for the Salvation Army and entertained patients at the Vet- erans Hospital at Oteen. They also sent Christmas cards to guests in rest homes. A District Rally was held in Marion in which the girls presented a program to other members of the rally. During this rally Linda McKinnish was nomi- nated for a state office. Patricia Brown and Debbie Hammond attended the National Convention at Miami, Florida.

O. program places students throughout county New highlights were added to the vocational business department with the school term 68-69. Much like the Distributive Education Course offered, a program called Cooperative Office Occupations was made available for business majors. The students were advised by Mrs. Dorothy Meador. They worked mainly in offices throughout the county. Also, the business department was supplied with the much needed equipment to sufficiently accommodate students. New tape recorders, typewriters, and machines were fortunately among the added equipment. Introduction to Vocations was a study of all job vocations and how they are applied to everyday life.

Each year DECA members participate in district contests such _as sales demonstrations, public speaking, advertis- ing, ad layouts, displays, job interviews, and creative marketing projects, East Henderson’s DECA was in district | and competed with 23 schools in Western North Carolina. This year Belva Holbert was elected District Historian. DECA won second place in crea- tive marketing projects dealing with the buying hab- its of students in North Carolina. They attended con- ferences at Murphy High School, South French Broad High School, and the State Leadership Conference in Raleigh, N.C. They also held inter-club meetings with West Henderson and Hendersonville High School DECA Clubs. In April, a Bosses’ Banquet was held in which the club showed appreciation to the employers of co- operative students. The bosses were presented certi- ficates of appreciation. In March, which is National DECA Month, the club held an assembly and presented a radio program. Jeanne Strachan, DECA Club member, prepares to leave schoo! and go to work. 103 MEDICS CLUB Medics Club nominated for N. C. Public Health Award Nominated as a candidate for the N.C. Public Health Association Merit Award for Outstanding Service to the Public Health Profession for 1969, the Medics Club participated in various activities and programs. Especially valuable to senior members was the field trip to Greenville Technical Institute and several members attended the State Congress in Raleigh. Locally, the club was represented at the Ro- tary and Lions Clubs and was responsible for the distribution of Drey-packs here at East. Attempting to conteract the shortage of health personnel in to- day’s world, the Medics Club provided its members with a setting in which they could meet with other students interested in medical careers and also be of service to the community.

There really are two. The new addition to the busi- ness department, replacing Mrs. Hawkins, who went home to wait for her own new addition, was Mrs. Sherry Whitmire whose sister-in-law, Louise is with the physical education department. But soon stu- dents became familiar with the ‘““New Mrs. Whitmire”’ and the familiar sounds of E building, the constant pecking of a typewriter, the rattling of an adding machine, and the pseudo-sweet voice of Mr. Gregg on record dictating shorthand.

It was not unusual to find the students sitting in the grass sketching various aspects of the campus or running madly to catch ‘‘the goose”’ hoping it would run long enough to take them to their destination and back to campus for the next class. The students surveyed displays by area artists at the Skyland Hotel and later, in co-operation with other county schools, displayed their own art works. Christmas was a busy and profitable time for the art classes as they offered their wares for sale to students and faculty with their art club bazaar. Displays in C building, decorations in the lunch- room and library made students aware that Art ex- isted everywhere. BELOW: You can expect anything dangling from the ceiling of the art department! ART CLUB Art Club sponsors bazaar Members of the Art Club became experienced in decoration when they staged a shipwreck dance at the YMCA. Artistic palm trees, fish nets and a distant shipwreck completed the decor for the occasion. During the Christmas season, the club decorated the cafeteria with a large poinsettia and a large wreath with a Merry Christmas message across the entire wall. A Christmas tree was placed in front of the library. The club also sponsored a bazaar with proceeds going to the school.

B. Hysong, who filled the vacancy left by Miss Daniels’ retirement. As prints of well-known paintings were added, students were given the opportunity to study reproductions of important works of art. Mr. Robert Gerstacker’s portrait of Mr. Justus added another new attraction to the library. Supplementing the supply of books to be checked out was the paper-back book store. Maintained by the library workers, it permitted students the chance to purchase books on campus, both out of necessity and also for relaxation. Another project of the library assistants, selling Christmas candles, was under- taken to make extra money. As the library became more than an expanse of shelved books, it benefited the students at East. Mrs. Rogers’ class enjoys a reading period, a change from regular class. 115 LIBRARY CLUB Library Clu TOP: Emily and Wilbert learn that Library Science is not just arranging books but checking-in students and hanging newspa- pers on the racks are just a few things.

DRIVERS EDUCATION Drivers education gets new teacher, cars, mobile unit For the first time this year, East had a full time drivers education teacher. Mr. John F. Scott, not hav- ing the privileges of a regular classroom, often had to teach a class in any vacant classroom or the audi- torium. After a few weeks of confusion, Mobile Unit 4 finally arrived especially for the classes of drivers education.

Oc- casionally their images are blurred in the crowd, but their personalities, their unique- ness, remains in the collection of East High’s FACULTY Even teachers are human Although the faculty members were probably most often associated with long homework assignments and impossible regulations, they devoted much time to other activities. Their primary role at school of teaching was supplemented by the sponsoring of various clubs and extracurricular functions. Students found Mrs. Whitmire carrying dream pets around the campus during the magazine sales, and coaches spending long hours practicing with teams for ball games. One of the highlights of their activities was the October assembly program in which the teachers presented talent by various characters from Mother Goose stories. Little had anyone ever expected to see Mrs. Rogers as Humpty Dumpty or Mrs. Goss as Little Miss Muffit. ERNEST L.

Stu- dents who were to participate in band, majorettes and the freshmen ball team met during the summer to practice. It was required that most of them meet every week in order to be in good shape for the on- coming year.

They made their debut to the student body as tops in the overall sales. Not only was the whole class a winner, but Mrs. Whitmire’s freshman homeroom received the plaque for highest home- room sales. As a reward for their work, the students were treated to banana splits. Mrs. Whitmire’s homeroom seemed to agree that the hard work was worth it.

Contrary to the “some- times’’ homework of junior high, freshmen realized the necessity of taking books home every night and giving up some activities to reserve time for studies. Some of the smarter individuals, such as Kathy Shuford, the only freshman who made all “‘A’s” the first six weeks, took advantage of their study periods at school trying to leave some time for re- laxation at home.

For a few weeks of the year they counteracted this effect by devouring countless lollipops sold by the AFS. Yet certain crises arose which even the lollipops couldn’t lessen. Some experienced the frustration of dropping a beautiful new box of 1000 vocabulary cards and watching them merrily float in the wind. Others sur- vived the excruciating pain of being jabbed by one’s compass while digging for it before a math test; try- ing to calm oneself after having ripped a dress apart five or six times in Home-Ec; or remembering five minutes before P.E. that one’s gymsuit was at home in a pile of dirty clothes. Fortunately along with these events and mistakes came knowledge. Those who studied Latin found they could often discover an English word’s meaning be- cause of its similarity to Latin. Although freshmen sometimes believed their courses were useless, the information learned could often be put to a worth- while use. After an hour of invigorating exercise in P.E., these freshmen girls seem to be a little tired but still ready for more.

This year these warnings came to life for many sophomores as they found themselves burdened with Biology and English II. Besides developing an acute sense of recognizing the smell of formaldehyde which often permeated F- building, the sophomores molded other impressions of the second year at East. Their thoughts were pen- etrated by the life of Julius Caesar and muddled by rules forbidding dangling participles, their hands cramped by copious note taking, and their backs gradually humped because of the heavy loads of books carried for 180 days. Yet the promising hope of an easier junior year, and a still easier senior year kept the sophomores from giving up in total frustra- tion. a py John Godfrey, Jr. Gary Gordon Mike Gordon Above: Preserved specimens give biology students a queesy Linda Griffin Miki Guardina Pamela Guice feeling.

One November morning they heard the sloshing of water which had overflowed from the darkroom in F-build- ing. Only a few days later, still in November, sopho- mores had a two-day vacation due to an early snow. Groaning through second year P.E., sophomores ac- customed themselves to pounding thuds while tum- bling, sickening sounds of air whooshing past as they jumped on the trampoline, and tingling ‘‘crunches”’ as a tennis ball was poorly hit. Although sophomores had become acquainted with the many sounds of East High, they discovered there were always more to come. Left: Basketball was another activity which sophomores enjoyed.

Biology, often requiring them to collect mush- rooms, ferns and various other objects, caused one harried sophomore to frantically call a neighbor moments before the arrival of the school bus in a desparate search for a carrot. In surviving Driver’s Education, many members of the Class of ’71 experienced the queasy, helpless feeling of sitting behind the wheel of the car for the first time — and realizing with a sinking feeling that they had no idea of what to do. Fortunately, with the increasing pro blems and pressures came more independence for some; and for many a driver’s license the modern passport to the movies and sock hops.

Although this symbolized sophomore school spirit, the sophomores also applied their seemingly unexhaustable source of energy. Denny Pace, a sophomore football player, was named to the all-conference team. Also the class of ’71 con- tained two varsity cheerleaders, Linda McKinnish and Brenda Simpson, to urge their teams on. At the same time, sophomore energy was let off in other ways, for throughout the year F-building re- mained a home of vivacious 10th graders slamming lockers, carrying on deafening conversations before 8:40 A.M., and almost constantly moving.

For many there awaited groceries to be carried and other tiring after-school jobs. As the amount of leisure time diminished and demands increased, they often de- sired to drop the whole world of money and educa- tion. However, the occasional outbreaks of humor and fun, combined with the exceptions which broke the daily routine helped to dispel the tensions and disappointments necessary in today’s highschool life. The heavy load of books is often dropped on a nearby bench.

Comprising the largest group East has yet had, the selected members of the Class of ’70 found that they were concerned about triviali- ties and would-be disasters in the program. Going backstage some discovered it almost impossible to snap their robes with nervously shaking hands. On stage came the problem of holding a lighted candle still for a seemingly never-ending five-minutes, the threat of dripping wax, and the necessity to repress one’s emotions if wax splattered on one’s hand. But these trifles were soon forgotten as the new members found themselves contemplating the words: Charac- ter, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service.

For some juniors the summer of ’69 brought with it a break in the usual vacation routine. Jo Ann Has- sell “‘lived’’ six weeks at Brevard Music Center, and Tricia Brown and Debbie Hammond, spent one week in July at the FHA’s National Convention in Miami. For others the summer meant finding jobs, many of which lasted through the school year and brought with them a variety of unexpected events. For in- Stance, one usually thought that bag-boys only car- ried groceries, but one could have seen David Jones rush after a 1968 gold Cadillac rolling in the Com- munity Cash parking lot and stop it before it was damaged.

F. Ward JUNIORS College springs into view, juniors start for Mr. Ford Thoughts of college, suddenly, without warning, leaped into the minds of juniors this year. For the past two years they had struggled through the Na- tional Education Development Tests, but they had never really taken them seriously. Yet as they filed into the library this year for the Prelimenary Scho- lastic Aptitude Tests, juniors appeared much more aware of their growing independence and responsi- bilities. In only a year they would be coloring in the circles of the College Boards. However, with their fears calmed by Mr. Ford and their teachers, juniors were able to formulate ideas for the future. Worrying about college, juniors head for Mr. Ford.

The senior class was repeatedly up to mischief. Instead of study- ing in a quiet secluded place, you could frequently find a senior sitting up in a tree or in a bathroom reciting lines from Macbeth. Out of the 260 freshmen who invaded East in 1965, only 180 graduated this year. Losses were attributed to transfers, marriages, and the inability of students to survive school life for four years. It seemed impossible that 180 teen- agers could possess so many unique qualities and sound off as much as did this class. They excelled in sports, activities and school leadership. They were definitely a revolving part of the now world at East. Frank gets away from it all.

The music was limited to records and hi-fi set, but it still beat the boredom of the usual movie Saturday night. They laughed, danced, and occasionally after acquiring an ‘Excedrin head- ache”’, would climb up on the roof or a ceiling beam to get away from the noisy crowd below. Enthusiastic seniors are the life of the party. 169 Pointy boosts senior spirit At basketball and football games it wasn’t hard to distinguish the loud hardy voice in the middle of the cheering section which boosted spirit and spread enthusiasm throughout the crowd. Serving as Pep Club president and lead man in the Homecoming ac- tivities for two years, he was the center of senior spirit and worked long and hard on posters to devel- op East’s ‘“‘soul” before game night arrived. Who is this person whose appearance at a ball game served as an energizer for the East side? ‘Pointy,’ of course.

All they had to do was insert a dime, two nickels, or a quarter and get no change and they could talk to their mother, or family physi- cian all during lunch period. Needless to say, they had fun trying to cover up for the noise their stom- aches made the rest of the day. LEFT: Joe Smyth forfeits his last dime to call his mother on her birthday?

It was headed by Mr. Jay Angel who scouted jobs for interested people and served as their coun- selor as well. Students were placed all over the county with jobs ranging from the Carolina Theater to the Winn Dixie. Last year’s enrollment in CDE II was approximately fifteen. Students are required to take one year of marketing before engaging in CDE I. Also for the first time at East, there w as a similar program offered for business majors called Co-op- erative Office Occupations. Mrs. Dorothy Meador was in charge of this group. Still there are others not engaged in either program who obtained jobs working second shift at local plants in order to meet monthly car payments. Students in both CDE II and COO had the advantage of getting credits for their work along with a weekly check. Because of this over work and inadequate amount of sleep, many seniors had to acquire admission slips in order to get into first period.

Hyder, and Mike Alston, East High produced, in the ’68 track team, its best ever. While never finishing lower than fourth and frequently second in meets, the Eagles broke or tied nine school records. Hurdler Ron Griffin set new marks in both the high and low hurdles with clockings of 15.4 and 20.5, respectively. Mike Alston, named outstanding member of the team and re- Cipient of atrack scholarship to Berry College, entered his name in the books twice by setting marks in the 880 yd. dash and intermediate hurdles. School rec- ords were also set in discus, triple jump, mile med- ley, and pole vault, among others. Finishing second seemed an obsession with our boys as they took the runner-up trophy four times, each time behind the Hendersonville Bearcats. The Eagles finished second in the WHKP relays, Hender- sonville Lions Club Invitational, Kiwanis Invitational, as well as the East Flat Rock Lions Invitational, the first track meet ever held at East High. Next year’s prospects are even more encouraging, however, as thirty-eight members of the team will return.

Led by all-confer- ence selections Tommy Carter and Charlie Nabers, the team achieved a 10 win, 5 loss season. The team finished second in the conference, behind T. C. Roberson. After defeating T. C. once, 4-2, East suf- fered a 9-3 defeat at the hands of the Rams. If East had won this game, a playoff would have been nec- essary. The Eagles’ most satisfying victory was a 7-2 win over rival Hendersonville. Nabers and Carter led team batting with averages of .328 and .410, respec- tively, with help from Pete Johnson, T. G. Lancaster and John Berry. East suffered only two losses in conference play, one each to Roberson and Hendersonville. Owen and North Buncombe were the only other teams to defeat East. With a pitching staff of Tommy Carter, Keith Col- lins, Roy Cutright, and Clyde Maxwell all returning, East should have an even better team next year.

With Tony Wilson, Tommy Carter, and Denny Pace spearheading the offense, and John Berry and Troy Pace leading the defense, the Eagles displayed a well-balanced at- tack. Tony Wilson tallied twice, once on the ground and once on a pass re ception. Tommy Carter passed to Wilson and ran one in himself to round out the scoring. The Eagles lost their second game 6-0 to the T. C. Roberson Rams, mounting drives that ended on the Ram one, two, six, and thirteen yardlines, East had many scoring opportunities but could never cross the goal line. Marred by only one long Ram touchdown run, the Eagle defense was outstanding. In fact, the Rams found themselves in the shadow of their goalpost much of the second half. A fumble with a minute left crushed any victory hopes for the Eagles. ABOVE: Tony Wilson breaks into the open for one of his many long runs.

FOOTBALL Fagles rip Falcons, first win at home in three seasons Playing their first home game of the year, the Ea- gles squared off against a strong Brevard Blue Devil team. Stymied the entire first half, the Eagle offense came to life after intermission. Even though they rolled up 11 first downs to the Blue Devils’ 10, the Eagles produced only 6 points to Brevard’s 19. These 6 came on a nine-yard run by quarterback Tommy Carter. East High’s first home football win in 3 years came at the expense of the rival West High Falcons. Under new head coach Tom Williams the Eagles snapped a 16 game losing streak at home. Leading by a bare one point at halftime, the Eagles sprang to life with 19 points in the second half. Quarterback Tommy Carter started the rout with a nine-yard touchdown run following a recovered fumble. Tony Wilson put the game on ice with East quarter touchdown runs of 30 and 52 yards. ABOVE RIGHT: Tony Wilson pre- pares to stiff-arm a Bearcat defend- er.

On the first play of the game, in which the ball exchanged hands four times, Bryant Diehl caught a 74-yard T.D. pass. Later, Tony Wilson broke loose three times for scores as Tommy Carter and Bryant Dieh! each scored once. The Eagles rolled up 418 total yards on offense. Thirty-four points against Owen would have been worth one against Edneyville the following week. A missed field goal with 14 seconds remaining, cou- pled with a missed extra point, gave East only 20 points to the Jackets 21. After trading touchdowns twice in the first half the score stood at 14-13, in favor of the Jackets. After Edneyville ran the second half kickoff all the way back, Tony Wilson closed the gap with a 41-yard T.D. run. After several frugal at- tempts to score, Denny Pace tried a 25-yard field goal. The ball glanced off the upright but failed to go through as the final score was 21-20, in favor of Edneyville. The next week against Reynolds the Eagles played one of their finest games of the season. Two touch- downs by Tony Wilson, and one each by Tony Varnadore and Malcolm Glisson gave the Eagles the win as the Rockets were shut out. Denny Pace con- verted 3 extra points and a field goal to make an even 30 points for the Eagles. Doctoring bloody noses, broken helmets, and_ thirsty players are some of the many sideline duties of a manager. Eagles set season record A fearsome offensive punch was displayed by the Eagles against Tryon. Two touchdowns by Tony Varnadore and Tony Wilson, plus one each by Mal- colm Glisson and John Berry totaled 39 Eagle points to 20 for Tryon. East’s sixteen first downs and 462 total yards overshadowed the ten first downs and 334 yards of the Tigers. In contrast to the Tryon game, the Eagles couldn’t get rolling against rival Hendersonville. The Bearcats repeatedly ripped off huge chunks of yardage on their way to five touchdowns and a 32-6 win. Denny Pace provided the thrill for a homecoming crowd against North Buncombe. After two T.D.’s by Wilson and one by Varnadore, Denny Pace booted a 24-yard field goal with only seconds remaining. The Eagles won 23-21. John Berry, Tommy Carter, Tony Wilson, and Den- ny Pace made the Parkway All-Conference team. Berry and Pace, both underclassmen were outstand- ing on defense as well as filling in as offensive run- ning backs. Although this years team was the best ever at East, they could have done better than their 6-4 record and 217 points.

Brevard, Tryon, T.C. Rober- son, and Owen fell to East before Hendersonville bested our boys in a 46-43 thriller. Mike Harness, Tommy Carter and Bryant Diehl, providing the big scoring punch, all led in the scoring at least once in the first five games. An easy 60-37 victory over West Henderson preceded a 62-60 win over power- ful Reynolds after Christmas.

A last-second, 40-foot shot by Tommy Carter pushed the Eagles over Enka 46-44 before victories over Tryon, Erwin, and T. C. Rober- son. Hendersonville then dealt the Eagles their third conference loss of the year by the score of 70-54. Wins over Reynolds and Brevard, a loss to Enka, and defeats of West and Owen rounded out the regu- lar season. Tommy Carter and Bryant Diehl, senior guards, led team scoring with 14.2 and 13.5 averages in the first 19 regular season games. Seniors Tony Wilson, Mike Harness and Robert Nelson also started most games and each was a vital part of the Eagle team.

Led by Tommy Carter and Mike Har- ness, however, the Eagles rose to the occasion to trounce the Jackets 49-36. Eagles squared off against rival Hendersonville in the tournament finals. After being down 33-23 at halftime, East pulled within three points before falling back and losing 65-47. Tommy Carter, Mike Harness and Bryant Diehl were All-Tournament selections. By virtue of their second place finish in the Park- way Conference, the Eagles got a bye in the first game of the district playoffs. Spruce Pine was East’s first opponent in the playoffs, East triumphed, 59-36. Bryant Diehl poured in 18 points to take game scor- ing honors. In the semi-finals against Sylva-Webster, the Eagles lost 52-46. Although making numerous floor mistakes, East stayed close until the final seconds. This game ended one of the most successful seasons ever at East, with 17 wins and 7 losses. LEFT: Tony Wilson appears ready to pull a rebound, but where is the ball?

Denny Pace led in scoring with a 12.9 average, followed by Roy Cutright with 12.0 and Buddy Roper with 11.9 all three, although sophomores, are returnees from last year’s squad. Paced by Cutright’s 27 points, the baby Eagles started the year with a thrilling 62-56 overtime win over Brevard. While finishing second in the confer- ence, the Eagles lost to Hendersonville twice and T. C. Roberson once in conference play. Two losses to Reynolds and one to Enka completed the Eagles’ losing ways. Season highlights were supplied with a last-second one point win over Enka, an 82-33 rout of Tryon, and a win over West in the county tournament. As juniors these jayvees should supply some tough competition for returning players on next year’s var- sity team.

Although they won no games, a steady improvement was shown throughout the season, in which two overtime games with Bre- vard and Edneyville were the highlights. Junior Mar- garet McKay paced the Lady Eagles in scoring all year with a 9 point average. Margaret was named to the All-County and All-Conference teams, and re- ceived an All-County Tournament award. Judy Kil- patrick, Sonya Stepp, Salley Moore, and Caryl Reece also were stalwart players for the Eagles. East fans should look forward to a better season next year, with all starters returning.

Boasting a 8-5 record, they were defeated only by Owen and Edneyville. The sophs and frosh were in almost every game until the end. Freshmen Kay Williams and Valerie Harden, along with sophomore Rita Bartee, led the team. These three and others should provide competition for starting positions on next year’s Var- sity team.

WRESTLING Grapplers take second consecutive county championship The wrestling team at East High this year was even more successful than it was in its initial season. Under new coach John Scott the Eagle grapplers compiled a 15-2 regular season record, losing only to Lee Edwards and Tuscola. Four tournaments completed the wrestling schedule. The Eagles took top spot in the Sylva-Webster Invitational, and Henderson County Tournament while finishing third and fifth in the District Tournament and Tuscola In- vitational, respectively. Dennis Young, Randy Simpson, Roy Stover, Tony Varnadore, and Troy Pace led the team in wins. Simpson and Pace lost only one match while Varna- dore was unbeaten during regular season competi- tion. Varnadore, Pace, Young, Robert Denton, and Doug Cox journeyed to Raleigh to compete in the state tournament after qualifying at the District Tournament. East is rapidly establishing itself as one of the WNC wrestling powers, a tradition we hope will con- tinue.

Judy Dean Nelson April 29, 1951 April 15, 1968 227 Now the characters look back. Each has saved numerous times and events to remember, to cherish. Yet each day they slip further away from the sensations, emotions, and people lingering in their memories. They themselves cannot linger in the past; they must now move on. OPPOSITE PAGE: Pensively, Rodney examines the past, waits for the future. LEFT: With the end of his high school career, Tony rounds another corner of life. BELOW: Long after the varsity competition ends, the players, haunted by the Coach’s hardened stares, reprimands, and praise, relive each game. GAT e 230 — Now the students emerge into a new world with an added year of experiences and out- looks. This year at East has enabled them to face the future. They realize what they have done now will help determine what they will be. They move forward. Before them lies the unexpected, the important, the trivial, the necessary. FAR LEFT: An announcer for radio station WHVL, Sidney pre- sents his mod show on Saturday afternoons. TOP LEFT: For admission to college, Bruce selects two years of French instead of Latin. LEFT: Steve Arrington converses about future business ideas with Mrs. Lawrence. 231 Many will return to East High; some will leave. But those who leave will not be re- placed; they will be followed. Their actions and ideas have become part of the story of East High. For East High does not die; East High is NOW. 232 Ge iets is Rater teat ite a sgt : su Wh, if rch PALER MA, Aas ys Ciakeg iat, � RE ee ae Palen atk Reo iat i fat ia rT Epeets: { aia aan Rs BHAA peereeege Ee i coh 2 pavers f horse seat ane as Z ie Ma , ray sist att Nits me Nee ete cae A bhndirny: erly gn rf dit ay Peroni ntay shite] needle, A powrsst ied Wait ” j peli Kiet it i a i axe eeeeeeee - a frevict i eareste egestas RS va ah wy 2 eed fe is teadad heat i a coe DSS. noses Neat Fi we i z bepserensst bp alate sprahit ar cet Le pia Mab Mineo utalby pact Weare coerdige Leven gat cc Puna eatin i cp adler Ey ‘ Ry Ae aH ne bite why pe Saar renias can Bia Hikaa Ue pit 4 a aa ts y ait 3 i ’ ep ‘y aren veep SS
