During this time it has reached fulfillment in a harvest of work and play and participation. This harvest represents the conclusion of the cycle begun in 1953. But the H.C.H.S. cycle does not end here. It continues with each class, reaching a new harvest every graduation. Within these pages the five present classes are symbolic of the H.C.H.S. cycle of learning. They are the present manifestation of experiences that have served to bring about the first GOLDEN HARVEST Eighth Graders Peter Size¬ more, Catherine Dejarnette, and Charles Payne take their fir st step in the H.C.H.S. cycle. Students begin academic work early at H. C.H.S. Nat Wooding, Joyce Worsham, and Judy Dunkley solve scientific problems in an eighth grade class. 6 The eighth grade choral music class provides a testing ground for prospective vocalists. 7 The first year of high school offers not only curricular activities, but opportunities to serve the school. Freshmen members of the National Junior Honor Society prepare for duties as student aides on College Day. They are, left to right, Betsy Patterson, Judy Traynham, Jimmy Anderson, and Sharon Shepherd. e 8 Sophomore Marvin Stevens clears the pole vault bar during the fir st home track meet of the season. At the 1958 Junior-Senior Prom, Carrington Powell, Faye Butler, Doug Hupp, Boo Bagwell, E. J. Bowen, Nancy Burton, Mary Hamp Lowery, and TommyGold take time out during an inter¬ mission. 10 Teddy Bennett, amember of the Junior Class, campaigns for the office of vice-president of the 11 Forestry judging is one of the many projects in which agri¬ culture students participate. Tommy Owen, Douglas Guthrie, and Glen Good comprise one of the senior forestry judging teams. Senior Betty Woltz creates an abstract painting during art class. 13 Aubrey Guthrie and Barbara Moore catch up on class work during a study hall in the library. 0 0 0 a t Jane Owen, Dale Ramey, Marvin Throckmorton, and Shelby Rogers, members of the senior chorus, sing a harvest time number during the spring musical production. After the final whistle has blown, Head Cheerleader Joyce Wilborn and Senior Halfback Jimmy Hickey reminisce about the football season that saw the Comets undefeated on the home field. 15 16 Graduating Seniors Billie Barnes, Bob Soper, Frances Tune, Jane Carlton Shapard, Mildred Murray, Jimmy Hickey, and Jimmy Barker symbolize the culmination of the H.C.H.S. cycle. MR. W. CARL CREWS 18 In a time when teachers are paid more out of the satis¬ faction of a job well done than in material reimbursement, it is gratifying to have been associated with as dedicated an individual as Mr. Carl Crews. In class he taught us with a thoroughness that is the mark of a brilliant and born teacher. His analytical mind always probed us and drove us to the search for knowledge. We were ever mindful in h i s presence of the value of truth for its own sake. As if teaching government and history were not enough, he has sponsored the senior debate team for three years and the junior team for four. During our third year at Halifax County High School, he was advisor for the Student Co-operative Association. Mr. Crews is an impressive, gentle man, who, as a sponsor of the Class of 1958 since its entrance into the school, has always been willing to help and advise whenever called upon. He will always remain for us a living symbol of the virtues of the teaching profession. For the se reasons, then, it is with real gratitude and affection that we dedicate the 1 9 5 8 HALISCOPE to Mr. W. Carl Crews. 19 The faculty and administration fee I a real obligation in the guidance of students toward maturity. The comparatively small personnel at Halifax County High is called on to share a large amount of responsibility in serving the students. In the various fields of extra-curricular work, members of the faculty serve as advisors to the student clubs and organizations. Faculty members serve in clinic work, guidance, publications, plays, during inter scholastic contests, school trips, and school sponsored social occasions. In addition to these obligations, members of the faculty are ever willing to assist students in problems of both a curricular and extra-curricular nature. Faculty members have truly executed an influential hand in the educational harvest that has been ours. Principal J. Marshall Swanson goes over a point of school policy with Mrs. Vera Remsburg, head of the Science Department, and Mrs. Dorothy Cheatham, head of the Business Education Department. 22 Frank L.

Class members work as a unit during the five-year cycle at Halifax County High School to make and spend wisely the funds neces¬ sary for the different class activities. During the first six-weeks eachyear, students elect their class officers after a week-long cam¬ paign. To these officers is delegated the authority to execute class promotions. Generally, the lower grades accumulate funds in increasing amounts eachyear as a backdrop for expenses the last two years. Class promotions during the five-year educa¬ tion period at Halifax County High School, along with association in schoolwork, serve to give students a unity that will benefit them in later life. Taking a break at lunch are (left to right) Junior Emmy Lee Mason, Senior T. J. Moore, Eighth Grader Katty DeJarnette, Sophomore Milly McCannless, and Freshman D. B. Patterson. Eighth grade officers are (seated) Crawford Peace, president; Beth Ramey, secretary; Leroy Hall, vice-president. (Standing) Mr. Roy Blanks, class sponsor; Jimmy Hall, sergeant- at-arms; Charles Payne, treasurer; and Arthur Apple, reporter. The first grade at Halifax County High School combines graduates from the nine elementary schools in Halifax County. First year students are introduced to exploratory courses which help them decide on their course of study here. These students enter the first phase of Halifax County ' s educational harvest. They are taking the first step in the five year cycle of learning. They are, for the first time, introduced to the size and comp lex¬ ity of high school life. Eighth g r a d e r s represent in the words of Principal J. Marshall Swanson, the backbone of the school.

Linda Blount, re¬ porter, was not present for the picture. In the S o p h o m o r e Class, students reach the halfway mark in the Halifax County High School cycle of education. This is a period of transition, a period in which students, fall somewhere between the catagory of the fresh eighth grader and the veteran senior. Tenth grade students often exhibit a sense of optimism. They represent at the same time ac¬ complishments finished and hopes of future success. It is generally in the Sophomore Class that students start to feel adefinite class identification. They begin to sense a unity among themselves that carries on into the Junior and Senior Classes.

It is here that students begin to dominate school organizations and activities. They have the re¬ sponsibility for the most important dance during the school year as well as the junior play. Juniors, being only one year away from graduation, begin to look for¬ ward to the years after school. They become eligible for upper class honors such as the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. In the Junior Class, students near the final stages of the school ' s educational harvest.

The senior year at Halifax County High School is a year of responsibility and privilege. Seniors naturally carry the brunt of student leadership. They fill the top posts in such fields as athletics, student government, agriculture, music, home economics, and dramatics. Eunice Adams Sarah Adams The tendency at Halifax County High School is to stress senior leadership re¬ sponsibility rather than senior privileges. However, senior p r i v i 1 e g e s do exist. Seniors have preference in choice of classes as well as seating priority at assemblies. In addition to this the east booths in the cafeteria are reserved for twelth graders. These responsibilites and privileges are indentified with the final stages of the high school cycle. They are character¬ istic of the days just before the educa¬ tional harvest.

W ' P 99 The courses offered at Halifax County High School are many and varied. Different programs of curricular are followed by students according to their individual needs. For instance, students preparing for college are offered four years of high school mathematics, four years of science, four years of social studies, and three two-year foreign language courses. Students interested in agriculture can take four years of the two-hour course as well as two years of industrial arts. Special courses in Dis¬ tributive Education and Diversified Occupations are open to students wishing to work part-time while receiving their education. Business aspirants may pursue business courses such as typing, shorthand, and business arithmetic. Other courses offered students are band, journalism, speech arts, home economics, and art. The classes mentioned above are taken in addition to the four years of required English. Other requirements for graduation are one year of mathematics, one year of science, two years of social studies, and four years of physical education, unless excused on a guidance basis. Eighth graders have six classes with no electives, excluding band which is, in some cases, substitu¬ ted for another course. 100 Senior government student, David Tetterton, points out a place on the news map to Julia Anderson. Teachers in government classes, which are required of all seniors, stress current events through the use of maps and articles in both newspapers and news magazines. 101 0 0 0 Three foreign 1 a n g u a g e s are taught at H. C. H. S.: French, Spanish, and Latin. In these classes students learnnot only the basic facts of the language, but an appreciation and under¬ standing of the people who speak them.

They also make costumes for school dramatic productions. Betty Forlines, Faye Crews , Barbara Newby (standing) and Frances Henderson work on seven¬ teenth century costumes for the junior play, The Imaginary Invalid. One of the features of English 12 at H.

In the above photo ninth grade students Barbara Daniel, Carolyn Roberts, and Ruth Barnes put into practice what they learned. There is more to school than classes and the re is more to be learned than that which is found in the textbooks. It is in extra-curricular activities that classroom knowledge is applied and expanded. The S. C. A. gives elected representatives the opportunity to practice student government; F. F. A. helps boys apply classroom agriculture to actual farming; D. E. and D. O. provide first hand working experience; and the STAR and the HALISCOPE give journalism students the oppor¬ tunity to exercise their knowledge. Each of the eighteen clubs and organizations has its particular purpose to promote individual fields of student interest. Two of the honor groups give credit to outstanding participants in journalism and drama¬ tics; while two others honor students of all-round high caliber. In addition to increasing interest in a given field, clubs provide a chance for co-operation among students. Every other Monday journalism students sell copies of the STAR to HCHS students in the lobby at lunchtime. Phyllis Conner and Norma Epps look over a copy of the prize winning news¬ paper while Leonard Riddle tries to interest passers-by. Kenneth Mauck sells a paper to Bar¬ bara Day. 113 S. C.

Through many varied activities, the Student Co-operative Association realizes its objective of promoting the welfare of the school through co¬ operation with the students, faculty, and adminis¬ tration, and acting as the central organization for student discussion and action on school problems, ideas, or activities. The Homecoming and Topsy Turvy Dances are hi ghl i ght s of the Student Council ' s social phase. The annual Christmas drive for food and clothing to be distributed by the County Welfare Department, and the Safety Committee ' s program are examples of the Student Council ' s civic re¬ sponsibility. By operating the concessions at the ball games during the school year and by sponsoring a lost and found department, the Stu¬ dent Council fulfills its responsibility of service to the school. One of the highlights of the activities of the Student Council this year was the sponsoring of the S.C. A. F a i r in which each c 1 u b at H. C.H.S. 114 co-operated Student Council officers are (seated, left to right) Sandra Dixon, reporter; Teddy Bennett, vice-president; Bob Soper, president; and Pat Chaffin, secretary; (standing) Johnny Bass, sergeant-at-arms; Louie Seabolt, treasurer; and Mr, L. Martin Gravely, sponsor. 115 Much of the work of the Student Council is done by committees. Concerned with the purpose of initiating and promoting safety at HCHS and in Halifax County, the Safety Committee sponsored an all-day safety program and a five-day safety emphasis week. In the weekly devotions sponsored by the Student Council, the students and faculty received inspirational messages. The devotions were presented each Thursday morning by students of HCHS. At many of the assemblies and meetings at HCHS, the Devotions Committee was responsi¬ ble for the devotions. Announcing SC A activities and keeping the student body informed was the job of the Student Council ' s publicity committee. This committee was responsible for maintaining the council ' s bulletin board in the lobby and publicizing the SCA events of the school year. A first in HCHS’s history w a s the idea of the foreign exchange student. Through the co¬ operation of the student body and the county civic organizations, the FES Committee was enabled to obtain the necessary funds to finance such a student. As the HALISCOPE went to press, plans had been completed, pending approval of HCHS by the American Field Service. Another first in the history of HCHS was the materialization of a handbook for the school. To be published in September, the handbook will include all information pertinent to newcomers at HCHS.

To create an enthusiasm for superior scholarship, to stimulate desire to render ser¬ vice to one ' s school and country, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the develop¬ ment of character in pupils of H.C.H.S., are the main objectives of the Junior National Honor Society. For membership in the organization, students must excell in service , leadership, character, and scholarship. To maintain membership, students must have an average of 91. Only eighth graders, freshmen, and sophomores are in this society. During the year, the group sponsored the seventh grade orientation, assisted with the College Day program, sold programs at allhome football games, and sponsored a Valentine Dance. Mrs. Lorraine Myers is sponsor of the group.

Journalists who have done outstanding work in school publications at Halifax County High School are members of the Douglas Southall Freeman Chapter of Quill and Scroll. These students are principally member s of the yearbook staff and the staff of the school paper. They are chosen on the basis of achievement, ability, and scholarship. The students must be in the top one- third of their class in o r d e r to be considered. They mu s t have done superior work in some phase of creative endeavor and mu s t be re¬ commended by the advisor of school publications, Mr. Richard J. Fitz, Jr. 120 Chambers Hodnett, Jimmy Barker, Kenneth Mauck, Joyce Wilborn, Doug Wilburn, Bob Terry, Glenda Newby, Larry Harmon, Lois Benoit, Leonard Riddle, and Barbara Day, Thespian Troupe members render their services and skill to the class productions pre¬ sented at the school. The purpose of the Troupe is to advance the standards of e x c e 11 e n c e in dramatic arts at Halifax County High School, More specifically, the Troupe encourages students to attain a better mastery of language, to develop poise and self-control, and to appreciate dramatic literature and its techniques. To be eligible for membership, one must be in two productions and acquire a minimum of ten Thespian points. These points are awarded on the basis of the size part performed and the merit of the performance. Thespian Troupe members Bob Terry, Tony Michaels, Mildred Murray, and Larry Harmon look over a list of candidates for membership in the dramatics group. 121 Just as the class of 1958 marked the completion of the H. C. H. S, educational cycle, so did the 1958 HALISCOPE herald a number of firsts in school publications. The initial sixteen pages of color, the curricular section, and the use of assistant editors for each section of the book are new for an H. C. H. S. yearbook. Furthermore this was the first year that the cover was not printed in the traditional blue and white. The gold and maroon was used to heighten f he effect of the Golden Harvest l: me. HALISCOPE staff members look over pictures for the new issue. They are (seated, left to right) Evelyn Brooks, Barbara Moore, Audrey Chandler, Phyllis Conner, Eunice Adams; (standing) Carol Johnson, Carolyn Moorefield, Marilyn Thompson, Laura Long, Venetia Whitt, Peggy Cole, and Mr. Richard J. Fitz, advisor. Bettie Woltz (seated on arm) is layout editor of the HALISCOPE and M a r t h a Anne King is as¬ sistant editor. Activities editor is Natalie Terry (seated on arm) while Mildred Murray is class editor. 122 This theme coincided with the fact that the seniors are the first to have completed all five classes at H� C. H. S. The Golden Harvest, picked for its uniqueness of timing, could not be used in the same manner by any other class. It should be mentioned that the editors of each section, as well as their assistants, did a remarkable job guided by the advisor, Mr. Richard Fitz. Editor-in-chief Henry McLaughlin Joyce Wilborn (seated on arm) is copy editor of the HALI- SCOPE and Frances Tune is business manager.

A new record was also established when the judges awarded the paper a total of 964 points out of a possible 1000, a new H. C. H. S. high. Several minor changes took place in the STAR this year. The editorial page sported a new look through several issues, as the staff searched for just the right combination between columns and editorials . The front page also underwent a few changes, as new and unusual layout forms were employed more than ever before. This newspaper fairly exudes quality. It is a tribute to its staff and advisor as well as to the school it must proudly represent, was the praise afforded the STAR by the judge at the 1958 Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention in New York. All this was brought about by the intense efforts of the STAR staff, who worked constant¬ ly to further the record established by last year ' s staff. New layouts and methods were employed in order to improve the looks and usefulness of the newspaper. These methods were obviously successful, STAR Editor-in-chief Larry Harmon Staff members of the newspaper are (seated) Jimmy Barker, assistant editor; Jane Carlton Shapard, business manager; (standing) Doug Wilburn, managing editor; Jim Patterson, sports editor and Leonard Riddle, managing editor. 124 « � • Other me mb e r s of the staff are (seated) Ann Charles Puryear, assis¬ tant business manager; Billie Barnes, copy editor; (standing) Mary Cham¬ bers Hodnett, feature editor; and Lois Benoit, copy editor.

Since its organization five years ago, the Halifax County Marching Band has become a major feature of the school. The accomplishments of the Comet Band are long and varied. The band received this year a superior rating at the District Festi¬ val in Roanoke. Aside from partici¬ pating in the half- time activities at football games, the band journeyed to Hampton-Sydney and added color and splendor to their Homecoming festi¬ vities. During the Christmas holi¬ days the band went to Oxford, North Carolina, to lead their Christmas parade. The annual Spring Concert of the band was a splendid success.

H. C. H. S. ' s beginners band was composed of forty-one first year students. These students were mostly eighth grade pupils. The training that these students received will someday allow them to advance to the comet band. Since Sept¬ ember, with the help of Mr. Nicar, these music pupils have come along rapidly. The big event for this band, as for the other bands, was the Spring Concert in May. As these students con¬ tinue to improve and move up in the H. C. H. S. band, they will be true representatives of Hali¬ fax County High School. r% Carolyn Roberts, Patricia Patterson, and Phyllis Duncan find that it takes a great deal of practice to master the clarinet. 129 The Choral Club, under the direction of Miss Harriett Harris, is a very active group.

The ever increasing athletic program at Halifax County High School is high on the list of accomplishments to which the school can point with pride. It is in the field of a th l e t i c s that the most tangible evidence of spirit in the school can be found. Both as participants and specta¬ tors, members of the student body show real enthusiasm for school sports. Positions on ten separate interscholastic teams are available for athletic aspirants, both experienced and unexperienced. Prowess of sports in by no means a prere¬ quisite for participation. In fact, students of average or below average ability have always been welcomed to the squads . Of course, this does not mean that participation in athletics is easy. In fact, it is often the challenge of H.C.H.S. ' s sports program that attracts both participants and spectators. Interest in school sports is further stimulated by the existence of related groups such as the Monogram Club, the cheerleaders, and the Pep Club. 148 Two members of the golf team, Bobby Satterfield (left) and Roy Ferrell (right), practice putting at the Halifax Golf Club in preparation for a forthcoming golf match. 149 Members of the squad are (first row, left to right) Lee, Bledsoe, Patterson, Seabolt, Ferrell, Vanney, Fuller; (second row) Carter, Powell, Michaels, Walton, Hickey, Bowen, James, Bowen, Lacy; (third row) Wilkerson, manager; Hazelwood, Barksdale, Newby, Mason Ligon, Gold, Hoy, Ingle, Arthur, Apple, manager; (fourth row) Paulette, Hawkins, Marvin Ligon, Kilgore, Wade, Colvin, Ramey. 150 The Blue Comets opened the football season by absorbing a 22-0 defeat at the hands of E.

Other than just being lettermen in one of the school-sponsored athletic programs, members must be w i 11 i n g to promote the welfare of all athletic programs. The purpose of the M o n o g r a m Club is to create a feeling of unity among the different sports, to create higher school spirit, and to create within the boys a more wholesome atti¬ tude toward the school and its activities. Also, the club wants to have more off the field acti¬ vities for the athletes.

It ' s over these events that the most perspiration is produced, the gayest laughter is heard, and the sincerest tears are shed. These are the events that are remembered long after the Pythagorean theorem is forgotten. There is homecoming during which old friends are greeted, and where this year Halifax County High School boasted her first float. There is the thrill of seeing the school queens crowned; the excitement of the plays; and finally, the nos¬ talgia that accompanies graduation. All of these events carry a quality that is distinctive of Halifax County High School. The beautiful, happy, and absurd experiences that make up the features of the year give the necess¬ ary balance to high school life.

The Junior class presented The Imaginary Invalid a French comedy by Moliere. This was H.C.H.S. ' s first play given in the round. The play cast consisted of 14 actors and actresses. Angel Street , by Patrick Hamilton, was presented by the Senior class. The third act of this three-act play was taken to Danville for the one-actplay festival where it received a superior rating. Three actresses and two actors com¬ posed the cast for this play. Junior play cast mem¬ bers raid the wardrobe for costumes for possible use in Thelmaginary Invalid.

Since the inception of Halifax County High School five years ago, they have been called upon time and again for financial support. In addition to advertisements in the STAR and HALISCOPE, Halifax County merchants have contributed space in the F. F. A. and senior calendars, financed the printing of tickets for school programs, and contributed to the building of scoreboards for athletic events. They have also contributed to many special events at H. C. H. S. For instance, merchants have lent mate rials for school plays and dances. They have provided refreshments at school functions and have helped in the administration of pep rallies. In truth the advertisement sectionhere-- which is the largest in HALISCOPE history-- represents only a part of the civic contributions to H. C.H.S. welfare. . aJJtSfaszce a it Ann Charles Puryear and Jane Carlton Shapard, with the aid of teller Douglas Fisher, cash a check at the Bank of Halifax, a member of the Federal Reserve System since 1880.

The picture on this and the opposite page, showing eighth graders on the ends and going progressively through the class cycle to the two seniors in the middle, represents the theme of this book. Patricia Patterson, Tommy James, Nancy Cocke, Joyce Lipscomb, Johnny Bass, Betty Downey, Logan Young, William Watkins, Rosalind Rogers, and TommySnow are symbolic of the five classes at Halifax County, each par¬ ticipating in the continual cycle of high school education. The Senior Class will this year fulfill the cycie as they become the first complete product of H.C.H.S. The other classes will continue the cycle until they and those that follow them are also part of the educational golden harvest. So although the end of this book symbolizes the fulfillment of the first golden harvest, this does not mean that this year ' s Senior Class represents the only one. It is only hoped that the students of the succeeding harvests will close a school life as enjoyable and profitable as the one that students of the first golden harvest had. 207 Index A ADMINISTRATION.22 ADVERTISEMENTS. 182-204 AUDIO-VISUAL CLUB. 119 B BAND BEGINNER ' S.129 CADET.128 COMET.126-127 BASEBALL.168 BASKETBALL FRESHMAN. .165 GIRLS.166 JUNIOR VARSITY.164 VARSITY.158-163 C CHEERLEADERS JUNIOR VARSITY.157 VARSITY. 156 CHORAL CLUB.130-131 CURRICULAR.200-211 CONTENTS.4 D DEBATE. 134 DEDICATION . .. 18 D.E.... . .143 D.O. 142 E EIGHTH GRADE.34-43 OFFICERS. 34 F FACULTY .24-31 F.
