Clarence E. Beach. ' School Boord supervises olddifion of l l new classrooms? Chairman Charles Dobbin shoulders heavy responsibility in determining school policies. The responsibility of making L.H.S. a well-organized and functioning unit rests with the school board. It is their task to build and repair school plants, determine policies, hire personnel, meet financial bud- gets, and present the schools, their ideals, and policies to the public. They are, in great measure, responsible for Lenoir's being ac- credited by the Southern Association. This i means the school has met certain rather high standards Wlth regard to training of teachers size of classes library facilities laboratory equipment, and communlty f1nan M out gain by these outstanding citizens i4 W, pppb V , 2 cial support. All this effort is given with- ' H. S. is proud To be crccredited by The Southern Associofionl of Colleges ond Secondory Schools j. 'Q' w I Mr. H. C. McFadyen, principal, jokingly tells Mrs. Nelson, sec- retary, Just put the students who annoy you in this drawer. Much of the planning for the smooth operation and administrative Work of the Lenoir City Schools is han- dled by Mr. J. G. Hagaman, our superintendent. A n able executive, Mr. Haga- man serves as intermediary among school board, prin- cipals, and public. Working efficiently and tirelessly, he helps maintain the school's traditional high standards and provide its students with a high quali- of educational opportun- 1 y. ,S 'rv'-.. 'X l- . Ip.-' N' 'E .1 One of the most valuable assets a school can have is an efficient, understand- ing, respected principal. In this area, Lenoir High is fortunate. In his various jobs ranging from adviser to the Mountaineer to stud- ent disciplinarian, Mr. Mc- Fadyen has always strived for a better school. Making out payroll checks is one of the responsibilities of Superintendent Hagaman assisted by his secretary, Mrs. Ruth Lingle. t.M,...u .,,. , . . .... ,W Q . ft fi il .., z ,, ,t sf 5 ' il. 1 ' F 6 ' 2' 1-.iffy A 1 E S , . 1 ' its-1 ,!b'i Jfrapl 22 4' ' ' -' ,fQ,.:ri7g,..'-A... s 1 V499 f.-- 1- iw 1 . ly ' 1.5 N f V .

Track, the sport which makes the players independent in their own event, yet depend- ent on teammates in the final outcome is enjoyed each year by Bearcat rooters. Each member strives to slice another second off his time, or add another foot to his throw, and maybe get a crack at that record he'd love so much to break.

Hard work on the part of the juniors was ' required to set the mood of the Mississippi showboat for the '61 Junior-Senior Prom. ny of '61 Junior rebels looked to the Deep South and chose the theme Showboat for the biggest social event of the year. The heavy fragrance of magnolia blossoms, pounds of real Spanish moss and the Natchez, a nearly life-size steamboat, whisked dancers away to the ante-bellum days of the Fabulous 1850's and the banks of the muddy Missis- sippi. Mint juleps, pecan pralines, minstrel singers, sunset colors of yellow and gold peeping through filmy wisps of grey-brown moss, and the music of Roger Kohr's orches- tra completed a mood both enchantingly romantic and sweetly southern. me l r ShowbooT revives memories of the old South A new version of the Fishermen Four honors the moonlit decks of the Natchez. t 1 if Ji K, -W, if i ..

The harassed and harried football managers are Doug Wall, James Ashley, Bob Lee, and Jerry Connor. John Wall gratefully receives his award for best block- er from Mr. Jack Pennell. Members of the band faculty have done an ex cellent job in keeping our L.H.S. band in high ranks APPRECIATION We sincerely hope we have in the 1962 Bearcat opened the doors to mem- ories ofa rewarding year at L.H.S. The publication of this annual has been mode possible by the cooperation and interest of many people-Mrs. Pen- nell and the typists, who have strived to produce errorless copy, the student body for whole-hearted support of our sub- scription drive, the faculty for under- standing and forbearance in many in- terruptions for picture taking, Mr. Da- vid Rufty, the photographer, for pa- tiently making many trips to get just the right shot, and the businessmen, whose backing and generous financial support have been invaluable.
