Foreword 1966 has had many faces for the students of Harding fligh School— in classes, in sports, and in extracurricular activities. And all of these faces have played a part in making this year, 1966, a year to remember. The faces in the classrooms were as different and as exciting as the students. There was humor as we laug hed at our mistakes and despair as we were confronted with term papers, themes, and exams which all seemed to come at once. We saw expressions of pride and happiness at work well done and at good grades, but we saw also misery mixed with grim determination as we stared blankly at a test that had to be passed. Athletics provided us with a new angle for iewing the familiar faces around us, as excitement, unhappiness, and school pride each played their part in forming our expressions. We glowed with happiness and pride as the football team soundly trounced West Mecklenburg, our traditional rival. We showed despair on those occasions when one of our teams was unable to get the final points needed to seize a victory. And through all our games showed the tense shape of excitement, excitement felt keenly by both players and spectators. Clubs and other school activities presented a fine show for the obser ' er of the faces of 1966. We saw serious expressions on the faces of students concentrating upon a chess game ox learning the customs of a foreign coun- try or making spirited posters or planning an assembly program. There were tired faces after a hectic afternoon of decorating the gym for a dance or after an all day car-washing project. And there were laughing faces too, mingled with shouts of “Who dropped the paint can! and “Help! The microphone won ' t work!”
