In special college preparatory testing and regular classes the time for action is the present. Cramming for exams, note taking, experimenting and meeting deadlines are all facets of classroom action. Though all around it circle clubs, sports, social affairs and goofing off, the core of a working school is the process of learning and preparing for the future. Juniors above complete PSAT tests. Informal discussions about school, community and world action stir student minds, broaden a teacher's outlook and bring two generations nearer to understanding. Mr. Robert Dunn, librarian, speaks frankly to students. Extra-curricular activities contribute not only to fun but help students learn the importance of getting along with others. Royalty dances are enjoyed by all but are particularly special to a queen and king, Bonnie Petrocine and Gary Gilliland. 5

Expressed every day is school action. The inter-school and community cooperation and friendships motivate the spirit we need for working classes and winning teams. Combined action is the key to better communication and understanding. In all types of competition, though each side tries its hardest to better the opponent, there basically remains good feeling between individuals. A firm handshake between Bobcat Jeff Rogers and an opponent reflects the friendships formed in sports and all inter-school activities. A supporting community helped finance the annual as page sponsors, attended games and donated time and money to school projects. Through the effort of Kiwanis Club, Dr. James Durwood and Dr. L. E. Gant fitted mouthpieces for football boys. Spirit, the rousing quality that is contagious wherever Bobcats appear, is expressed in many forms. Standing cheers from Estes fans sound equally enthusiastic on an opponent's field as on their own. Voices blended bring action. fl U 4

Junior Linda McNeil Selected for Whispering Pine Title Enthusiasm and class spirit run high during the selling of yearbooks as classes vie for 100% sales in order to select a candidate for Whispering Pine Queen. Two classes, the juniors and seniors, achieved this honor in 1968, and the entire student body participated in the election for queen. The winner’s name remained a secret to all but the Whispering Pine editor and sponsor until the announcement to the school on Color Day in the spring. Honored as 1968 Queen is Junior Linda McNeil, president of her class and a spritely varsity cheerleader. She also is a member of National Honor Society, Student Council and works as a writer on the annual staff. The senior class nominated Elah Watson for the queen honors. Elah is an officer in the high school band, a member of Pep Club executive board and participates in GAA. An active and popular member of the junior class Linda McNeil reigns as 1968 Whispering Pine Queen and has earned the honor of receiving the first yearbook on Color Day. Senior attendant Elah Watson represented her class in the annual contest for the yearbook queen title. Estes Pork Loundrocenter The Copper Penny Roms Horn Cottoges Mountain Village Forge
