He is just a country fellow with a country sense of humor and a simple way of living. Material things do not matter with him; the inside of a man is what counts. He judges a person by what he does, not by what he has done or what he says he will do. To him success is all important, and in his book whoever succeeds must have hard-nosed determination and old fashioned guts . In the beginning he met with almost total defeat, but because he has the ability to turn failure into victory, he created a winner. He carne to L.H.S. and found a group of boys. He took those boys and made them his team. He gave them his dash, his desire to win, his drive to be the best. He made them champions — because he is a champion. So the 1 970 BEARCAT is dedicated to Coach Ken Morgan. in dedication 15 16 School Board members are: Mrs. B. Troutman, Rev. Louis Zbinden, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Blackwell, Harold Lawing, Don Brinton, and Don Baker, chair¬ man. Absent was John Balatow. administration Administration at Lenoir High is carried out by people other than those who work inside the building itself. The School Board, headed by Mr. Donald Baker as chairman, is a very important decision-making body, whose members meet twice a month to discuss school policy and procedures. Mr. J. G. Hagaman is Superintendent of Lenoir City Schools. One of his duties is hiring teachers, and we can see what a fine job he does by our many competent new teachers this year. He is also an important liaison between the School Board and the Principal. 18 A good school must have at its foundation a good administration. Lenoir High can boast an outstanding one with the acquisition of Mr. Robert N. Caddell as principal. Mr. Caddell re¬ ceived his B.S. and M.A. Degrees from East Carolina University and earned a degree in Ad¬ vanced Education Administration from the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has previously held positions at Maury High School and Cameron Park School. Under his leadership, Lenoir High has been expanding into a new realm of ideas and policies. Schedules, phone calls, bills, sick students, files, absentees, mail ... on and on the list ex¬ tends. Mrs. Nelson keeps up with all these things and more. Anytime anyone wants to know any¬ thing he runs first to Mrs. Nelson. She manages to tie all the loose ends of the school into well- knotted order and masterfully holds the school together. Through contact with student leaders Mr. Caddell relates to the student body. Mrs. Pauline S. Nelson, our competent secretary, is assisted this year by Mrs. Patty Lefler. Amidst the turbulence. Mr. Robert Caddell finds a quiet haven. library and guidance With Mrs. Nancy Gardner ' s guidance. Lenoir High students are better prepared for the future. Mrs. Ransdell is in charge of our most adequate library. Tony Church and Debbie McMillan take advantage of the materials in the guidance room as they plan for college. Have you run out of something good to read? Need some information for your next term paper? Want somewhere quiet to study for that quiz tomorrow? Visit the school library — anytime! Mrs. Ransdell seems never too busy to help anyone, and you’ll find her very thorough, especially when it comes to over-due books! Everyone likes to feel confident that he is having the best preparation for the years after high school. We re fortunate to have Mrs. Gardner as Guidance Counselor to whom we can turn with problems of high school courses, colleges, jobs and even those of personal nature. Beverly Yount finds good facilities for private study in our library. 20 $ V | j custodians and lunchroom staff They ' d rather serve than strike Mr. John Blake Mr. Joe Banner The lunchroom staff of our high school is necessarily comprised of two competent women who serve as both dietician and cook. But these are not their greatest roles. Most important of all, they are workers who keep students first in mind. Soup on Fridays is always a favorite on the menu. Costing only thirty-five cents each, the lunches prepared by Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Setzer are suc¬ cessful due to wise budgeting. Thanks go to the lunchroom ladies because of their delicious food for thought. Ketchup is slung on the wall and paint is spilled all over the steps. Where are they? The students understand the hot days in the early fall and late spring; however, it is a controversy in the freezing weather whether the radiators are for decoration or for heat! Unfortunately, our faithful custodians, Mr. Raymond Ferguson, Mr. John Blake, and Mr. Joe Banner aren ' t magicians. They do put forth effort, though, as indicated by the in¬ creased warmth as the week progresses from Monday to Friday. Mrs. Setzer and Mrs. Anderson English classes are more than austere English seems to imply. This subject, compulsory for everyone, is sometimes enjoyable, sometimes not; sometimes difficult and at other times too simple. The dread of English might fade were it not for required reading lists, some¬ times know as corresponding litera¬ ture , such as Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, and The Scarlet Letter. Diagramming sentences, learning rules of punctuation, and perfecting one ' s knowledge of parts of speech are vital for the mastery of grammar. The English staff considers vocabu¬ lary study of prime consideration. There¬ fore, from the first word list come such lucid statements as The adamantly abstemious man of business acumen and aesthetic tastes was susceptible to abstruse aberrations in which he be¬ came acrimonious to his allies, who tried to abet him by fixing him in a re¬ viving abeyance . Yikes! I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him ' ' is a familiar line to sophomore English students. english Essays, descriptions, and argumentations are all part of English IV. Basic writing skills are utilized by Junior English students in com¬ posing original short stories. ksaji mw , j IPO ' Miss Sandra Black teaches English and History and serves as ad¬ visor for the Bearcat Editorial Staff Mr Clifford R.

Si, Spanish is a language often heard echoing through the halls of Lenoir High as students recite verb conjugations. No, it is not always in the most perfect form. Struggling estudiantes take heart when they are rewarded for a job well done with magnifico! Mr. Lorenzo and Miss Locke teach classes of first through fourth-year students. Those students who toured Mexico this past summer gained more knowledge by hearing the natives speak. For this school year Mrs. McGowan has only one Latin class, a course of third year Latin. On the agenda of actvi- ties scheduled are translating Cicero ' s orations, selections of Ovid, and mythology passages, as well as Latin poetry. At midterm students hand in a booklet of examples of figures of speech collected from the world ' s literature and oratory. Students find it easy to do as the Romans do in Mrs McGowan ' s Latin class. Estudiantes trabajan mucho en escribir. 24 math Students are confronted with an entirely new kind of math by the time they start into Algebra I, which is followed by the axioms, theorems, and postulates that make up geometry. From there they move on to a complex study of Algebra I, better known as Algebra II. The more gifted” student is then challenged by advanced math, which is a combination of modern algebra and trigonometry with complicated equations and functions of angles. Mr Burns z + x students = Algebra I The Pythagorean Theorem requires concentration. The fundamentals of modern math are carved into the brains and desks at Lenoir High. Mr Philip Burns teaches Alge¬ bra I, Algebra II. Advanced Math, serves as Office Dean, and coaches football, basket¬ ball, and baseball. Mrs. Ruth P. Smith teaches Geometry and Math II and serves as advisor to the cheer¬ leaders. Mr. Thomas Bentley teaches Biology, Math II and Algebra I. To instruct his students is first and foremost in Mr Hiatt ' s mind A pupil in World Geography class is glad if he keeps up with the news. Miss Angley encourages her students to develop and express personal stands on various policies of our country. No one escapes this course empty of some valid opinions. Courtship and marriage, political controversies, morals ... do these sound like American problems? In Mr. Hiatt ' s American Problems class everything from the Constitution to Spiro Agnew and Divorce Court is studied in depth. A student busily cramming into his memory dates of revolutions in Europe, turning-point battles, or the names of a king and his uncle on his mother ' s side of the family, is sure to be taking World History. Mr. Og- burn ' s course involves an unlimited world of discovery, and from it can be gained an understanding of the whys which motivated great men and movements. How could anyone let a student get through high school without knowing J. P. Morgan ' s role in American history? Certainly not our Mr. Morgan, who has never flatly denied being related to the famous millionaire. Mr. Morgan is Head Coach in History classroom, too. Mr Morgan requires his students to be conscientious. social studies 26 Miss Mary Angley teaches world geography, U. S history and English II and serves as advisor to the student council. Mr Edsel Hiatt teaches American problems, girls ' physical education. U S history and serves as coach of football, track, and junior varsity basketball as well as junior class advisor Mr Gary Ogburn teaches world geography and serves as advisor for the Mountaineer staff Miss Angley ' s bulletin boards add a dash of color and pzzaz to her World Geography class. Marsha Blackwell and Skip Wilson broaden their knowledge through examining maps. History makes a more interesting course when it ' s about one ' s own country. Current science magazines give pupils a broader conception of biological processes. Senior science involves knowledge of scientific equipment. Accurate notes are necessary for the student who wishes to grasp the mechanics of Physics science Lenoir High School keeps pace with today ' s action via scientific courses. Required of all students are two science units, one of which must be Biology. Microscopes and other lab tools enable students to gain first hand knowl¬ edge of such varied subjects as paramecia, blood cells, bacteria, etc. Two years of Home Economics, which provide a student with one unit of science, give instruction in vitamins, color pigments, diseases and child care, menu-planning and cooking, wardrobe care and sewing, and interior deco¬ rating. Young chemists have the privilege of using the lab for honors projects when they are properly motivated. Mr. Byrd followed up the miraculous moon trips of the summer with involved studies of satellite orbits and rates of accel¬ eration. From such studies as mass and momentum the class branched out into very current aspects of science, keeping up with the astronauts, Jean Dixon ' s predictions, the mysterious zodiac killer, health hazards of cigarettes, air polution, etc. Mrs Inez Jones teaches home eco¬ nomics II and III. and serves as ad¬ visor for the F.H.A Mr James Bradshaw teaches biology and practical chemistry. Mr. Fred Byrd teaches pre-college chemistry, senior science, physics, and serves as advisor for the National Honor Society 28 All new knowledge gained from the 1969 moon landing is applied in Physic class. Gary Suddreth patiently adjusts the scale to get the most precise measurement for his chemistry experiment. Luisa Lorenzo and Marsha Melton show that Home Ec. includes paper work as well as cooking and sewing. Biology students examine the human skeletal system. 29 Berry Burgess and Robert Genwright gain skill in bricklaying courses for use in their future jobs. Mr Warren explains one aspect of the producer-consumer relationship. Classroom work is also an essential part of the I.C.T program. vocational courses Entering the workaday world with no skills or expe¬ rience is rough going. Realizing this, Lenoir High offers interested students on-the-job training under highly qualified instructors through I.C.T. (Industrial Coopera¬ tive Training), D.E. (Distributive Education), and brick¬ laying programs. Mr. James Barker teaches I.C.T. I and III. Mr. Royall Everett teaches Bricklaying I and II. Mr. Mike Warren teaches Distributive Education I and II, Marketing and spon¬ sors the DECA club. 30 business Today ' s fast-moving world requires capable secre¬ taries and business leaders, who gain insights and skills in business roles through such subjects as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, secretarial science and busi¬ ness machines — courses which are taught by Mrs, Setzer and Mrs. Hiatt. Through a varied curriculum and with much practical experience, students taking com¬ mercial subjects prepare themselves for a career in tomorrow ' s world even without a college education. JoAnn Abernathy struggles through another timed writing. Anne Rice learns the technicalities of bookkeeping. Shorthand students take dictation from Mrs Setzer 31 In the girls ' Physical Education class everyone attacks the player with the ball. Lenoir High offers both girl ' s gym and boy ' s gym classes. Under the watchful eye of Coach Morgan, boys exercise and gain skills in everything from tum¬ bling to baseball. Coach Hiatt leads girls in an equally rigorous physical fitness program. physical education Mr Ken Morgan teaches boy ' s physical education and U S. History and serves as head foot¬ ball coach. Physical Education appears to be enjoyable for all concerned. Cheetah” Mark Laney is a real swinger! 32 Captain James Harper gives Libby McGimsey expert advice in playing the flute. True tone comes from the heart as well as the vocal cords. Bachs, Carusos or Rembrandts they may not be, but the students who participate in the band, the chorus, and the art club attain high degrees of excel¬ lence, achieved only through diligence, dedication, and hard work. Who knows? Perhaps LHS is now producing a new generation of artists that will out shine the old masters! Mrs. Carter displays the hard work of her art class in the halls.

Helen Laburn moved from one large family of five daughters into another, the Charles Dobbin family. Though not experiencing the special attention of being one of a few”, she fits in extremely well and has found herself in the spotlight on many occasions. An excellent tennis player, Helen won three trophies in August, almost before she was unpacked. As an honorary attendant, she made a lovely showing in the Homecoming festivities. Helen is a member of the Ladycat basketball team, even though the game is not played in South Africa and was completely new to her. She participates actively in the Student Council, Mozart Music Club and Presbyterian Youth Fellowship, and she takes piano lessons as well. Despite all these extra-curricular activities, she maintains a straight A average. By the end of the school year, Helen will have a well-founded concept of southern United States. She may even cultivate a drawl and become slower paced! We will miss Helen when her stay here is ended, but her yah with an eager nod will linger in our memories, for she is a part of us. Helen finds her new family different in many ways but feels right at home. Donning her school uniform, Helen leads us on a trip through South Africa in a Friday assembly program. Small world . . .

Library and Office Assistants The library assistants relinquish their study halls to aid Mrs, Ransdell in her task of maintaining the newly carpeted library. Persons needing these students ' assistance appreciate their willingness to serve. Without the office assistants, school business could not be carried on.

' ' The editorial staff this year started out brand new with Mr. Leon Lewis as our new Delmar representative, Miss Sandra Black as our new advisor and a fresh knowledge of new techniques. The small but hard¬ working staff was determined to create this year a really original book. Work on a new annual begins right after the previous one has gone to press and carries over until December of the following year. Picture¬ taking (groups, individuals, candid), writing text, captioning pictures (dedications. Superlatives, etc.), and layout of the book in general are some of the things the members must do. Aside from all the techni¬ calities and anxieties, much love and heartache go into an annual to bring back to life a cherished year at LHS. Editor Judie Corriher lends a helping hand to a couple of Bearcat staff members.

As a result of this staffs persuasive selling tactics, more Bearcats were sold this year than in any other year in Bearcat history — a total of 420 out of a possible 475. The business staff has a history of diligence and persistence, for it began collecting ads during the summer months and has carried responsibilities through to the final distribution of annuals. Business manager Marsha Blackwell instructs her assis¬ tant Becky Rufty in the complexities of ad layouts. The Mountaineer is a monthly newspaper prepared by a small group of dedicated students who are interested in both creative and journalistic writing. Referred to as the news and editorial voice of Lenoir High, the newspaper speaks forth on student opinions and cov¬ ers campus news. The whole staff has worked even harder this year to put out an eight-page issue every month. With witty cartoons, personal glimpses , schedules of activities, sports coverage editorials, and other features the Mountaineer provides some entertainment for everyone. Mountaineers are busy each spring sponsoring the Spring Formal dance. Bottom Row: David Greene. Waitsel Smith, Sharon Pratt, and Cynthia Hauss.

Ann Hathcock and Becky Todd vis¬ ited various busi¬ nesses to get ads to finance the paper. The number of eight-page issues is determined by the amount of money brought in by the ads.

It works like a megaphone. When put to good use, its message can be heard loudly and clearly. This calls for use of the hands as well as the voice. This year ' s Student Council is com¬ posed of two representatives from each home room, from all major clubs, and the class presidents and student body officers. The Council sponsored the John Gault dance, which was financed by the Spirit Chain , a contest to deter¬ mine which class has the most class spirit. Other accomplishments include beau¬ tification of the school grounds with striking blue trash cans, the painting of the student section at Cook Stadium a Coach Morgan blue, presenting as¬ sembly programs every Friday, and the giving of gifts to the rest homes in the area and toys to Western Carolina Cen¬ ter. Using voice and hands, the Student Council has called for improvements at Lenoir High and has shown the way. Student Council Officers: Tommy Bernhardt, vice president: Anthony Dula, secretary: Orrin Robbins, president: Tommy Hartley, treasurer.

The Lenoir chapter of the National Honor Society began a program of worthwhile and enjoyable activities for this year. Thirteen seniors were inducted in the fall. Scholarship is the first requirement for membership since all members must rank in the top quarter of their class. Teachers grade the top ranking students rigidly on character, leadership, and service. The first project was initiated to raise money to finance further projects. For the bake sale, all members were required to bring homebaked deli¬ cacies. Next, the group turned its attention to feeding some less fortu¬ nate people for Thanksgiving. During the meetings, a student of the month is chosen, and future induc¬ tion is planned. Members sponsor a tea for honor roll students and treat themselves to a picnic in the spring. The members have an obligation to the society, to the school and to them¬ selves to uphold high standards as an example for others. Butch Smith was among the 13 selected students in the fall induction of the National Honor Society. 47 r monogram club The Monogram Club of Lenoir High School under Mr. Morgan ' s direction is perhaps the liveliest selection of the school ' s students. When a meeting is called, one can hear the deep voices of the football players along with the shrill ones of the girls on the basketball team. Anyone who has lettered in a varsity sport is eligible for membership in the Monogram Club. The Club sponsors the purchase of the letter jackets, blazers, and cheerleading outfits. It raises money by selling football programs. There was a special project for the fall of 1969 in which members of the Monogram Club, particularly the females, sold concessions at the Bunny Maynard Midget football games.

The four girls chosen from each class are obligated to be prompt, well- groomed, and hospitable. The head marshal, Ginny Bush, who is elected by the other girls, is in charge of the attendance and stationing of all the girls.

All members dis¬ cover from their programs that writing can be fun instead of a chore. They recognize that writing can improve future college work as well as present day English compositions. Each mem¬ ber delves into his mind to come up with original ideas that he shares with other members. Each shows his willingness to vol¬ unteer time and effort to the production of the magazine and to monthly programs. Each Spring, under the guidance of Mrs. Silver, the club compiles a magazine containing a great variety of creative work, which shows the writing ability of high school students.

What ' s my horoscope for today? That is the daily greeting of students to teacher in the original and unique Spanish IV class of nine females and one male! The day is not complete without learning what the future holds for one ' s love life. But not all can be fun and games. After the comic relief of the day, the estudiantes de espanol eagerly learn about such topics as the medical teachings of Mai- monides, the conquests of El Cid, and the superstitutions of the Spanish cul¬ ture. Marsha Blackwell is surprised that someone actu¬ ally had that answer correct! 60 latin iii club With only seven pupils Mrs. Vera McGowan can understandably permit a relaxed and personal atmosphere of communication within her class. Probably more valuable to the development of the student ' s philosophy of life than mere translation is the freedom of discussion.

They jump, shout, and perform complex routines to promote spirit among the students and faculty at Lenoir High and the citizens of Lenoir. Cheering the Bearcats on to victory is only one of the duties of the varsity cheerleaders. As members of the Monogram Club, they don their brightest smiles to sell football programs at home games. For the 1969-70 athletic season the girls purchased new uniforms with finan¬ cial aid from the Monogram Club. Their dedication has really been put to the test this year through the mud and rain of the Newton-Conover game and the biting cold of the last Hudson game. The fans live up to the bold chant of We ' re No. 1 , as the cheerleaders run the mighty ' cats onto the field. Cheerleaders fly through the air with their greatest of Bearcats in mind — it ' s their thing!

It all began one fall day in assembly. The names of twelve girls were announced as the 1970 Home¬ coming Court. Several assemblies later these beauties were presented with their escorts in a fall panorama of falling leaves and park benches with a sweet song sung about each of them. The annual Homecoming Parade brought each of the girls at their loveliest before the eyes of Lenoir citizens. Then the group went to Mary Dobbin ' s home for refreshments before the girls treated their escorts to a supper at Cedar Rock Country Club. That special day finally arrived. All students wore blue and white in honor of the occasion. As night ap¬ proached, the excitement heightened and reached a peak, first at the crowning of the 1970 Homecoming Queen and Maid of Honor, and again as the Bearcats won a stirring victory over Marion. Homecoming is sponsored by the Student Council, and much of the planning was done by Miss Angley, the advisor. It was a time when tradition was an outstanding factor, and sentiment ruled the hearts of all. junior-senior dance This was the night of knights and damsels in the faraway land of Camelot. The actual setting was in our mediocre high school gymnasium on April twenty-fifth, nineteen sixty nine. But if you asked any of the juniors or seniors who were there, they would tell you without a second thought that they spent the evening in the dream land of Came¬ lot. So beautifully was the gym transformed! Brilliant red, white, and silver streamers, scarlet balloons over¬ head, a breathtaking backdrop of the lovely Guinevere and her King Arthur, and the charming Sir Lancelot surrounding a rosy castle, Camelot. The entertainment, however inaudible it may have been, at least emphasized the reappearance of the age of chivalry, knights and such, in our own age. The junior class held its breath while Joe, Jimmy and Tim twirled batons for fear that they might chicken out. But they didn ' t; Martha Carpenter, Donna Cheek, Sheila Morrison, and the actors in the little drama swallowed their junior pride and performed as well. The Monarchs from Mitchell College brought to the scene wonderful dancing music aspiring to make our junior-senior the memorable event it was. The dance and the few hours of being princesses and knights ended with a selection of the band ' s best and (slowest) numbers. Off we drifted to various afterparties and afterparties and more .... An original Camelot parody by Lana Beach, Mary Dobbin, Billy Mc¬ Gowan and Bev Frye amused the Seniors. 70 Whoever saw masculine majorettes? The seniors did when they witnessed Juniors and Seniors did their thing to the fantastic sound of the Reighard-Gibbons-Keyes baton extravaganza. the Monarchs. Martha Carpenter and Donna Cheek revealed their dancing ability while others rested and enjoyed refreshments. 71 Is John Gault dead? Well, is he? He may have died at this dance in his honor but regardless of his status, the occasion will continue to live in the minds of all those who attended. Harry Deal and the Galaxies came and brought not only their salty dog but many other favorites as well. The blue and white spirit chain adorning the backdrop represented the hundreds of dimes contributed by the students, especially the extravagant juniors. superlatives %;km, Honk! Beep, beep!

The record speaks for itself. No other team in the history of LHS has ever accomplished what the small number of under¬ rated men did this year. The 1969 Bearcats have left their names in the records as the best in the history of our school. People ask how they succeeded where other Bearcats have failed. The answer is: They were a team. There were no glory- seekers, and each player had the guts and heart it took to be a champion. When the season began, the Bearcats were looked upon as possible contenders for the championship, but as team after team fell under their mighty claws, even unbelievers were converted into believers. They won the hearts of their supporters and proved that they were Number One. Three years ago the players who became the Seniors of the 1969 team had a record of 1-9. But with determination and driving power inspired by the coaches, these same players brought back to LHS the pride and spirit it once had. Many of the Bearcats were honored for their accomplish¬ ments. Seven made the All-conference team, nine made the All-county team and one made the North Carolina Shrine Bowl team Yet no one Bearcat received a greater honor than to have a perfect regular-season record and a N W.C.A.A. Championship. Even the loss of the playoff game (by two points) did not diminish the dignity and reputation of this Cinderella team. Captains T. Gibbons and B. Smith get ready for the toss of the coin. 9 0 1 ts 52 5 5 Ken said it was good. Ugh. The high scoring offensive machine of the Bearcats plots their next score.

We felt so unimportant and inexperi¬ enced at first, but smothered our in¬ adequate feelings under a mask of self- confidence. On Orientation Day we were introduced to the faculty, student lead¬ ers, and the different class rooms, but even after upper classmen guided us through the halls, we still felt lost. The Sophomore year is full of firsts ' — first lunch at the noisy coffee shop, first football game watched from the high school section, first morning at Fat ' s, first after-game fun at the Grill, first time behind the wheel of the driver ' s educa¬ tion car, first John Gault dance and spring formal, first Friday assembly and first feeling of belonging to the world of high school. We have our own junior varsity basketball team and junior varsity cheerleaders to represent us. And we look forward to next year when we will be upper classmen with still more firsts” to come. 94 Ronnie Barker James Bass Susan Beane David Beard Rita Billings Courtney Blackwell Lee Boddie Mary Bolick Ken Bradshaw Rose Bradshaw Susan Braswell Robert Brinegar Cathy Brown Pat Burchette Ricky Byrd Tim Caldwell Donna Campbell Mary Campbell Emily Carpenter Mike Church Lenoir on top as usual!

Perhaps some of us started the year a little rebellious to the newness of our senior year. But in the years to come we will remember more than our righteous indig¬ nation — the juniors and sophomores giving us priority for our seniority, getting the best auditorium seats, being the first class to have the new blue curtains for a whole year, and claiming the mightiest Bear¬ cat football team imaginable. Being a senior doesn ' t necessarily make you a happy person, but it helps. We learned MacBeth, Cicero, marketing, bookkeeping, Russian culture, some advanced math or Algebra II, senior science, choral music, Spanish songs, Greek civilization, and how to be a senior without really trying. All of this made our senior year. Or maybe it was the people who made our year; we ' ll remember it all. 114 Lana Beach Debbie Beam Thomas Bernhardt Marsha Blackwell Connie Brown Thomas Burgess Donald Bush Ginny Bush Gail Marie Butler Dana Weasel Bynum Glenda Byrd Ann Campbell 115 % % ' Officers: Tim Hoffman, secretary: Joe Keyes, vice president: Tim Gibbons, president; Joe Gibbons, treasurer.

It was the eve of the depression and businesses were going bankrupt like apples dropping from a tree. That ' s when J. E. Broyhill took over the reins of Broyhill Furniture Industries. Under his deter¬ mined guidance, the company not only weathered the storm but began a period of phenomenal growth. In one generation, the company grew from a small plant employing a handful of men to a furniture giant with more than 5,000 employees. Today, Broyhill builds with the same enthusiasm that characterized pioneering efforts in the days of the depression. And that ' s why it continues to grow at one of the fastest rates in the furniture industry.

Yet looking back I find happy memories of true friends, work that challenged, teachers who understood. Strange how these things are more noticeable when you look back over your shoulder! My memories are like a psychedelic film. Greeting friends at lockers before school with only half an eye open . . . cramming for tests in homeroom . . . dashing through the crowded halls, dodging open locker doors and people coming out of classrooms (a skill laboriously learned!) . . . sitting in class, fighting to keep my eyes open, trying to get every little fact down in scribbled notes . . . presenting com¬ mittee reports, book reports, speeches, term papers, essays, descriptions, short stories, autobiographies . . . doing Spanish vocabulary, Latin translations, math calculations (or mis¬ calculations), science lab, recipes, straight seams, band, sports . . . I thought the motivation behind all this hard work was a desire to get ready for college, but actually it was pretty much fun. Memories flow into meditation. High school life is like a wind storm: committees and clubs and projects flying around with dangerous force. The wise discovers that he cannot be a member of every organization and keep his sanity too. (Don ' t ask which I gave up!) Everyone knows that the teen years are for growing into ma¬ turity. Along the way each of us as a pilgrim collects his own personal scars on the soul. There are failures, injustices, false friends, squashed egos, and getting hurt in the eternal triangle . Growing up is agonizingly painful, but when looking back and seeing reflected in the window the person you used to be, you agree it was worth it after all. The windows we look out of now we won ' t be looking through many more years. Soon we will be on the outside looking in. As seniors- near-to-graduation we stand in the light falling from the window of our high school career. We can take that light with us, illumining the path for others, remembering and sharing what we have learned at L. H. S., or we can walk off into the darkness, by ourselves. But if we do, how dark that darkness will be!
