BEAT MYERS PARK EDITION OF NORTH STAR INSURES HIGH REB SPIRIT Typing copy for the North Star were Kathleen Plyler, Joey McConnell, and David Murray. Mike Wilborn, co-editor, must have written a humorous cutline for one of the pictures in the North Star. Miss Lawhon, adviser, and Vivian Beard, co-editor, seemed amused, also. This year for the first time in many years, the North Star was a printed publication. At first, staff members put out a paper every two weeks; but after the holidays, they pub¬ lished it monthly. To boost school spirit for the Myers Park basketball game, the staff printed a special “spirit edition.” And what an edition it turned out to be! “Beat Myers Park” was the theme, and it really set spirits soar¬ ing. Slogans, rhymes, and drawings urged the team to victory. Just beat the Mustangs was the cry! Some of the staff members attended the SIPA Convention in Lexington, Virginia in the spring. (FIRST ROW, FRONT TO BACK): Jimmy Williams, Robert Walls, Randy Black, Rutledge Withers. (ROW TWO): Martha Greene, Diane Shields, Barbara Bullock, Betty Gray. (ROW THREE): Marleen Alexander, James Cornelius, Norris Hunsucker, and (BACK ROW): Marcia Ross. 28
