ST. STEPHENS HIGH SCHOOL Hickory, North Carolina Editor: Laura Gragg Volume XXVIII Advisers: Mrs. Sylvia H. Hoke Mrs. Karen Terry Mrs. Celia Sigmon CORONA 1972 Modernized Curriculum Broadens Scope of Students Reaching beyond the tinkling test tubes and rising ring stands of chemistry class, Betty Moose explores the changing of dry ice from a solid to a gas by dipping the ice into warm water. With the addition of a vocational workshop and two new vocational courses, carpentry and construction industry, the facilities and curric- ulum of St. Stephens have been modernized again to meet the ever- changing needs of high school stu- dents. Business courses such as typ- ing, shorthand, and bookkeeping help students to prepare for their future careers while they receive a basic high school education. Home economic courses continue to aid high school girls in mastering the duties of home management which will make them efficient home- makers. College preparatory courses — trigonometry, chemistry, and physics; are offered for the student who is planning to further his edu- cation after graduation. Another curriculum extention embodied a Business English course. This allows students who do not plan to attend college to learn to communicate in the business world of which they will soon be a part. 2 Regardless of the flying shavings when using the rip-saw, Roger White, Joe McCall and Steve Arrowood Senior Kay Deal waits anxiously to view the are intent upon finishing their carpentry class projects in the vocational workshop. finished product of her toil and trouble.

John Wiley sorts out the many club announce ments before informing the student body. T. Hoyle, G. Clark, D. Hedrick, S. Honeycutt and D. Sheehan of the newly-formed Art Club metamorphosize color-coated brushes into Christmas cards for the Catawba Valley Rest Home. 4 Service organizations, language clubs, and honor societies; meet- ings, projects, and initiations — all are important aspects of life at St. Stephens High School. Students learn to assume new responsibilities when they become members of the various clubs and staffs. Some of the organizations at St. Stephens, such as the Library Club and the publications’ staffs, per- form valuable services within the school; while other clubs, such as the Key Club or the Sub-Junior Woman’s Club, work for the better- ment of the entire community. Or- ganizations uniting students with a common interest or hobby also make up a large majority of the clubs at St. Stephens. Students in- terested in photography can join the Camera Club, while those in- terested in mastering the demand- ing game of chess can join the newly-formed Chess Club. Students Learn Responsibilities Through Various Clubs In preparing ‘Toys for the Needy” the St. Stephens High School DECA Propst adds the finishing touches to a Christmas window display around Club collected 604 toys for distribution by the Salvation Army.

Working out in the weight room, Benjy Wheeler uses the bench press to strengthen his chest muscles. Weight lifting has become an incorporated part of the wrestling program this year. D. Stallings and S. Bridges practice in order to keep up with their championship image. Seemingly endless hours of prac- tice and an intense desire to win led the 1971 St. Stephens baseball team to a state championship dur- ing the summer vacation. When school reopened in Au- gust, the St. Stephens football squad had already spent numerous hours in practice. As always, adjust- ing to new coaches proved to be a trying experience for the team, but with the capable leadership that the team received it was able to survive the adjustment period. This same task also faced both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams as they dedi- cated their time and energies to give St. Stephens two fine teams that the students could be proud of. St. Stephen defenders display good team work as they come to assist Junior Bucky Thornburg (44) in putting a grinding halt to their lone opponent in his attempt for additional yardage. 7 On Christmas Eve, Rodney Guthrie along with his Swedish family, the Hards’ Elizabeth, Catherina, Rodney. Marriannc (his mother) and Bengt (his father) get ready to enjoy a festive meal. Rodney Guthrie’s winning spirit and smile is portrayed as he and a Swedish handball teammate, Par Leander, pose good-naturedly in the locker room while waiting for a match to begin. Removed from his American background, R. Guthrie is shown outside of his house. At his Swedish school, Rodney is instructed by his teacher in the study of bacteria. 8 Rodney admires the Christmas tree which As the sun setting against the west silhouettes Rodney Guthrie and some of his Swedish friends while Bjorn, his brother and himself have decorated. ice skating, Rodney's spirit of honor develops into many continent-bridging friendships. Rodney Guthrie Brings Continent-Bridging Friendships Into Sweden From America Popular with his classmates, Rodney (middle), often walks with some of his friends in front of his school. Rodney’s Swedish school of about 1000 students, is very modern and well-equipped. Being chosen to represent the United States in Sweden as a for- eign exchange student, receiving a Morehead Scholarship nomination, winning a National Council of Teachers of English Award, and being named as National Merit Scholarship finalists are just a few of the many honors which befell St. Stephens High School students this year. Rodney Guthrie, chosen as an AFS scholar, became the second student from St. Stephens to travel abroad. St. Stephens could also boast of John Reeves, an NCTE Award winner and Allen Sigmon, a first runner-up. Other students were honored with the joy of a trophy or the splendor of a crown - the distinc- tion of being one of the select few. A good sport, a friendly person- ality, an optimistic attitude are the unsung glories which strengthen the spirit of honor in the school. 9 REPRESENTING ST.

D. Hedrick and L. McGinnis portray a spirit of truth by the reading of weekly devotions. Whether tangible or not, it has become evident that there is more to St. Stephens than just the stu- dents, teachers, or courses. As more students take part in represent- ing their school, St. Stephens be- comes aware of them, and their honesty, loyalty, and reliability through their sense of fair play, cit- izenship and school spirit. By reading the recorded obser- vations as submitted to the two local newspapers by three St. Stephens students, the student body becomes informed about the many significant events which take place in the halls of St. Stephens High School. Through experiencing human relationships thus becoming aware of one’s limitations, students give their services to the school with a spirit of truth as they prepare them- selves for the realities of adulthood. The Covergence of Personalities, Each With His Own Values NEWSPAPER REPORTERS - Jenni Wood, Wayne McDaniel, and Jennifer Hildebran exemplify the highest standards of journalism as they strive to accurately represent life at SSHS. 11 Words, phrases and voice inflections melted into the instinctive and universally known language of friendship as A.F.S.’er Manuel Montesinos searched for impressions of American life. Conglomeration of Students Achievements Make Up St. Stephens Self-Image In making a precise point, P. Ford utilizes dramatic gestures, appropriate pauses, and forceful expressions in his rebuttal, hoping to sway the debate in English class toward his team’s favor. You, the students, are St. Stephens High School. Whether you’re in the classroom, on the football field, or the basketball court; sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It’s glory or defeat, but never both. The melting pot of ideas and ideals result from what you are and what you, as a student at St. Stephens, have ac- complished through the facets of the student life in academics, activ- ities, athletics and honor. St. Stephens does not pour the same amount of change on all stu- dents, even if it did the outcome would be different. But in so far as is feasible the school and student work out a separate plan for each, to help in his becoming a respon- sible citizen of our society. 12 The life-giving substance of St. Stephens High School is echoed in the academics, activities, athletics and honors - aspects which emphasize the material and intangible accomplishments of its students in the areas of rounded growth offered to each individual at St. Stephens.

In August the Booster Club epok-out brought the athletes out in number. Tony Lail, “Cotton” Lyalls, and Terry Gilbert arc making sure they receive their share of the food and drinks. Riding motorcycles in the mountains is only one of the memories that the summer holds. 16 SUMMER As the foreman looks on, bricklayers busily pursue their tasks as they strive to finish the new building so that it can be completed in ample time for the eager students to occupy in the fall. SUMMER In the heat of the summer, not everyone was on vacation or at the beach. Mr. Barger began his job at St. Stephens by registering new students. Football players practiced daily under the scorching sun and were rewarded for their efforts by a cook-out given by the Booster Club. All during the summer, men worked busily on the new building addition, trying to finish in time for the opening of the school year. Some students took time out from work to go motorcycle riding in the mountains, though. A bulldozer is operated to level the ground in the landscaping of our new grounds. Partly finished brick walls present a view of unfinished work on the new addition. A A big smile comes from Coach Ridley as he pursues his most favorite pastime: eating. SUMMER 17 A.F.S.

He can be seen roaming the halls with his camera taking pictures “to scare my brother with,” or trying to tell Mr. Sim- mons about solving the problems of chemistry. An excellent student in his own country, Manuel has prov- en himself valuable not only in the classrooms of SSHS, but in the community as well. He enjoys play- ing chess with his fellow students, going fishing, and playing soccer. Active in extracurricular activities, Manuel is a member of the AFS Club, Quill and Scroll Society, and he took an active part in the annual homecoming festivities. An industrious student, Manuel can be seen making up trigonometry problems to work. Manuel took part in the homecoming festivities, serving as an escort for Lynne Bolick who represented the American Field Service. Here, he is at the homecoming practice.

They were met by new teachers, new and old friends, and new schedules. After only three weeks in school, the magazine sales were kicked off and each class challenged the others to try to outsell them. Clubs began to organize, elect officers, and be- gin projects. A county-wide College Day was held with the SSHS juniors as sponsors. This gave an oppor- tunity to all the seniors in Catawba County to talk with representatives from many colleges. And even in the midst of all this, one lonely turtle wanted to find security. Fall provides many new unique hap- penings.

I wonder if he is trying to tell us something? As the year began, the St. Stephens Sub-Junior Woman’s Club started early by erecting a fair booth at the county fair. Winning second place, the booth promoted the N.C. State Zoo. HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR STATE ZOO AT PURGATORY MT.? Caught unaware, Jeanne Stock is in the process of adding up final sales receipts.

October 8, the coldest night of the season, set the stage for Home- coming 1971 at St. Stephens High. Feverish activity and last-minute preparations had been maintained throughout the week with every- thing reaching a peak of excitement on Friday night. All the prayers for clear weather were answered and with the theme “Yesterday a Dream-Tomorrow a Vision,” stu- dents and parents participated in a magical night of fantasy. The band provided a lively halftime show, stirring up pride in the hearts of all loyal Indians. The numbing cold aroused spirits and the representa- tives lent a cheerful atmosphere to the presentation. Amazement and joy grasped everyone and became unending as Miss Frances Lail was crowned Homecoming Queen by John Wiley. A float provided the background consisting of white columns with winding ivy and a birthbath.

Six students from each school exchanged roles for three days late in January. St. Stephens students displayed their active spirit in helping the com- munity when the Sub-Juniors agreed to aid the Hickory Chamber of Commerce with the March of Dimes Telerama. They operated the center for donations in Hickory and relayed the totals to Charlotte. 26 WINTER Long icicles hanging from the trees remind students of the snow and cold that winter brings with it. The first snow of the season gave students a long-awaited holiday. As Kevin Spencer watches with growing alarm, Beth Hefner proves to him her skill in doing one of the things that he believed she would not be able to do - tie his tie. WINTER Cold, icy mornings and freezing temperatures throughout the day signify the arrival of Winter at St. Stephens High School. Bus drivers get up early to warm up their buses on the mornings of rain and snow and run the familiar routes once more. At school the students are caught up in the hectic school life. They work long and hard on a re- search paper, strive to keep up their grades, courageously finish reading books on time, and still find time to enjoy each other's company. Athletes put in many hours of grueling practice in order to bring excellence for Indian teams and joy to the fans. Students attend all ath- letic events, giving support to all teams and take part in the fellow- ship after the many Indian vic- tories. But every few days a wan- dering eye will glance out the win- dow in hopes of a snowflake. David Guest looks for information to use in writing that unforgettable research paper.

Mr. Hoke seems very interested in watching the ball on its journey to the goal. “Phillip, where did you get those long eyelashes?” Theresa tries to help Phillip learn the art of applying his make-up for the Mr. St. Stephens Pageant. She seems to be very successful. SPRING Spring at St. Stephens High School brings with it many things not seen at any other time of the year. Parents and teachers get a chance to demonstrate how to play real basketball in the PTA basket- ball game; a new and more glam- orous Mr. St. Stephens is chosen to replace the old and fast fading last year’s winner; and the students at St. Stephens celebrate Sadie Haw- kins Day by coming dressed as UP Abner and Daisy Mae. An assembly full of stirring music and practical jokes is enjoyed during the day. Later in the evening following Sadie Hawkins Day, a dance is held in the gymnasium. But whether it is the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Mr. St. Stephens pageant, or just the PTA basketball exhibition, Spring brings significant events for everyone. Mr. St. Stephens, Mark Bumgarner, gives all of his admirers a big victory smile. SPRING 29 Eager hearts, trembling hands, and breathless smiles are experienced by the semifinalists in the beauty pageant as they parade before the ever-alert and watchful eyes of the judges. A Magical Night In Hawaii Amidst the plam trees and flow- ers, a magical night in Hawaii was brought into reality. Sixty talented girls vied for the title of the most beautiful maiden. Each girl was given the true Hawaiian greeting complete with lei and kiss. They paraded for the judges and for all to see. Hearts fluttered, hands shook, and smiles seemed to be hard to find as each girl wondered just ex- actly what the judges might be thinking. The RH Club provided the entertainment and then the twenty semi-finalists were announc- ed. Disappointment combined with joy to make the scene one of great emotion. Then hula dancers per- formed, telling the story of a Ha- waiian maiden with the use of their hands. As the ten finalists were an- nounced, surprise spread all over the entire audience and each person began to pick his favorite girl. A hushed silence overcame the crowd as the decision was announced. With a look of unbelief, Miss Denise Page became the new Miss St. Stephens. Miss Shelley Bumgarner was voted Miss Con- geniality by her fellow contestants.

With a setting as real as the side- walk cafes of Paris, the Junior- Senior made entrance into the imaginations of everyone present. The mystical nighttime world of Paris unfolded before flickering shadows. The star-dazzled couples engaged in a festive evening of food, dance, and romance. Parisian dancers enthralled the audience with their graceful movements and charm. While the evening progres- sed, dreams touched every indi- vidual in unique manners, en- hancing every couple. Upon the bidding of masters of ceremonies, Scott Shook and Andy Rullman, the Junior Chorus presented their roman tical version of “Love Story.” Highlighting all emotions of the evening, Virginia Moore was crowned Queen of the Prom. Scott and Andy filled in the minutes of silence with meaningful conver- sation, never permitting an awkward moment. In the minds of all pres- ent, this night of fantasy and love would never end. The Lemon-Lime provided hearty entertainment with strains of hard rock music. Guests were captivated by the vigorous melodies and rapturous tunes played throughout the entire evening. JR.-SR. 33 A.

The purpose of “Who’s-Who” is to recognize se- niors who have excelled in char- acter, scholarship, athletics, or ser- vice to the school and community. Nominated and chosen by their teachers, these students were cho- sen as most worthy of this honor. In some aspect they have helped St. Stephens to become a better and greater school in the eyes of its students and also the community. Ht Theresa Seitz It Allen Sigmon Kt Scott Shook J t Laura Gragg WHO’S-WHO 35 Graduation Seniors make last minute preparations before the “big moment” arrives. Friends share past experiences and wish each other a happy and a most successful lifetime to come. The recessional down the aisle was composed of majestically strolling graduates, prepared to conquer the endless expectations with which the future would challenge them. One life drew to an end and an- other life unfolded as seniors marched forth to receive their di- plomas. To most seniors, their di- plomas symbolized satisfaction in educational achievement and a hopeful outlook for the future. Seniors waited nervously and anxiously for their “big moment” to arrive. While waiting, numerous memories of the past twelve years fluttered across their minds suggest- ing tears of sadness and also of joy. Solemnity captured the atmo- sphere as the procession began. The salutatory address given by Steven Berry was followed by the presenta- tion of diplomas. The Senior Chorus provided a final moment for solemn thoughts by singing its last melody, the school song. Dreams suddenly turned into reality as Valedictorian Angela Pope pre- sented a speech never to be forgot- ten by the graduating class. Graduation ended, but life began with hopeful expectations of to- morrow. The Junior Marshals for the 1971 Graduation were: Ronnie Hefner; John Jennifer Hildebrap; Danny Green; Debra Watson; and Wayne McDaniels. Reeves; Susan Bolch; Rodney Guthrie; Lydia Herman, chief; Allen Sigmon; These juniors served as honorary ushers. 36 GRADUATION Graduates listened intently as Steven Berry, salutatorian, reminisced over past school experiences and encouraged each individual to look forward to the days to come. As each graduate pondered over these thoughts in his mind, he became aware of responsibilities before him. Nervous expectancy grew rapidly into a feeling of solemnity inside each graduate’s mind as the long-awaited hour arrived. Moments of indecision and confidence flashed through seniors’ heads as they prepared to take their places in today’s society. The graduating seniors march forth to partake in a ceremony never to be forgotten; their ultimate achievement... the day of graduation from high school. Angela Pope, valedictorian, stated graduation day was the dawning of new things to come.

This board, in co-operation with the Catawba County School Administration, sets the admini- strative policies of our school. The School Board consists of three men. These men advise Mr. Bost on the policies and procedures that are followed, or that should be made within the school. For example, the new addition to our school building this year, was sent to be approved by these three men. With their consent, St. Stephens was able to establish it. Enlarging the head of a depart- ment is another example. If a par- ticular department needs more fa- cilities, the School Board must give its approval, also. The School Board approves all the changes in the school, as a whole. Mr. Bost is advised of the community’s standing on school affairs by the Advisory Committee. Mr. J.F. Bridges, Mr. Hayden Fulbright, and Mr. Claud L. Moose serve in this capacity. Mr. Lewis L. Wilson and Mr. Gene Fisher stand in front of a sleek Driver Training car, each ready to fill the capacity of Driver Training Instructor for many prospective trainees. Mr. C. H.

Mrs. Marta Isenhour, School Secretary, carries out the business of the school office. OFFICE STAFF The nucleus of our school, the office staff, is primarily responsible for co-ordinating the students, teachers, and classes into learning situations. The work of the office staff begins in the summer with the scheduling of students, organizing of classes, and acquiring new teach- ers to fill positions open for the coming school year. After school gets underway the office takes care of absences, early dismissals, truancy, and other situ- ations which may be keeping stu- dents out of school. It is the re- sponsibility of the office staff to assist Mr. Barger in seeing that the students absent from school have a valid reason. Announcements to keep stu- dents informed about upcoming meetings and extra-curricular pro- grams are issued from the office, increasing students’ awareness of school activities. Mr. Charles J. Bost, Principal, can usually be found at his desk working out one of the many complexities which must be faced daily in the efficient running of our modern secondary school. Mrs. Charlene Rowe, Teacher Aide, is in the office, ready to be of aid to the teachers. ? Mrs. Janice Pitts visits St. Stephens once a week, where she can be found in the guidance office counseling with her students in the relatively new pre-vocational area of the work-study. Mr. Edward Smith, work-study counselor, speaks to his students about the work world. GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Sandra Caldwell heads the guidance de- partment in dealing with student problems. The guidance office is one of the most important parts of our school. In addition to personal counseling, it also has group counseling on edu- cation and careers students may choose. The guidance office sponsors the College Day program, at St. Steph- ens near the first of the year. The SAT besides other examinations are given by the guidance counselors. Two new aspects have been added to the guidance office. Ca- reer films is one of the new addi- tions. These are films on numerous careers that interest students. Their purpose is to let the student see what the career includes and the training needed. The Career Guidance Groups are a new aspect this year. Occupations are discussed in these groups. Mrs. Carol Stone, Assistant Guidance Counselor, helps Jennifer Hildebran to plan for her future with one of the numerous booklets available in the guidance office on jobs and professions. 42 GUIDANCE LIBRARY The purpose of the library is to serve the students as well as the members of the faculty. Audio- visual and printed materials provide many accurate references. This year the library has added several new items. First of all there is a new cassette tape player along with an eight mm. type projector. Micro-film term papers and micro- film reader also have been added to help grade papers more quickly and efficiently. The library is an excellent place to do research, as well as to read magazines. Mrs. Celia Sigmon has served as librarian for the past three years. Besides running the library in a proficient manner, she also servies as adviser for the business staff of the Corona. Danny Yount and Jimmie Adcox make use of the record player and earphone sets kept in the library. With the addition of earphones, students can enjoy records without disturbing others. Mrs. Roberta Knickerson has assisted in the library at S.S.H. for the past two years. LIBRARY 43 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Commercial Arts are offered primarily for students who will use the concepts in the careers they choose for their life’s work. Basic business, bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing prepare many girls for secretarial work and quite a few boys for an occupation in some area of business. The majority of students take at least a year of typ- ing for personal or collegiate use. A course just started this year, Co-operative Office Practice, trains students for office work through morning classes and on-the-job ex- perience. ©©006© D |] 000000 0000 0 -1!J 00000 .

FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Foreign language, whether Span- ish or French, is a most popular subject at St. Stephens. Another language not only helps every stu- dent better his ability to hear and understand, it helps improve his speech and composition. In using grammar, he increases fluency in oral and written speech. A student notices also, that English is easier than it was before. The country itself, as well as the language, is studied in the class- room. Leaders, historians, authors, painters and patriots, among others, are studied to teach the history and heritage along with the culture and life of today. Famous landmarks and outstanding attractions, make the history and culture more en- joyable. Everyday homes and fam- ily activities of the region are dis- cussed including the sports, food preparation, schools, television programs, and other social aspects. Learning the language and life- style of another land enables stu- dents to appreciate the goal things of their own country as well as the elements that could do with change. To increase their ability to use words in sentences, foreign language students do conversations. Here, Cindy Huffman and Cathy Fry present their conversation in front of a captive audience.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT It has been said that communi- cation is the key to full understand- ing. Our English department teach- es students the rules of grammar, sentence structure, and punctu- ation; making more fluent com- munication possible through better writing and correct speech. Besides instructing students in expressing themselves more clearly, the English courses expose students to the writings of well-known au- thors, poets, and essayists. Through the study of literary endeavors, students learn to recognize themes and basic truths. This understand- ing, along with fluency of expres- sion enables students to form and express their own ideas. Mr. Loyd T. Hoke, Jr_____Acc. English I, II, 111, IV; Humanities...

PRACTICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Many new courses have been offered in the field of practical arts this year at SSHS. Students have more opportunities to develop men- tally as well as physically through various courses. Health Occupations provides students with an overall view of today’s health problems and ca- reers. Carpentry classes are open to all sophomore, junior and senior boys. In the Construction Industry class, students learn the basic fun- damentals of carpentry. These bas- ics include bricklaying, framing, building and working with sheet- metal and electrical wiring. Other courses included in the Practical Arts department are brick- laying, ICT, DE, Home Economics, and Physical Education. Mr. Phillip Story . . . Carpentry . . .

The world is progressing at a startling rate, and more than ever it’s being influenced by the science of num- bers. Without our knowledge of math, day to day problems would be insurmountable and the world as we know it could not function. The math courses offered at St. Stephens are numerous and diversi- fied comprising the background needed by each individual student. Curriculum is designed to meet the needs of the pupil whose aim is to begin some type of employment directly after high school, as well as the college-bound student. With the guidance of skilled minds and mod- ified textbooks our math depart- ment guides students in facing the challenges presented by modern math. Mi. Glenn Deal . . . Geometry; Trig, and Adv.

In the recent past, we have witnessed everything from a cure for polio to man’s first moon walk. Such scientific ad- vancements as these would have been impossible without the em- phasis placed on that field in recent years. Science gives a look into the past and with it as our guide, we can chart the course for the future. Through science studies SSHS equips its students to become a part of this vast world of scientific ex- ploration. New methods of study- ing science are presently being tried out in our school. Outdoor classes and field trips enlighten students in the fundamentals of human nature. With the solarium as a laboratory, science students are allowed to ob- serve various specimens of pre- served wildlife and to conduct va- rious experiments concerning the effects of drugs on live animals. These study situations give this year’s science students the oppor- tunity to work in a more favorable learning condition, and also act as a stepping stone for the further changing of the science department to meet future standards.

The main aim of the social studies department is to create a sense of national pride in each student. With history as the key to the future, a survey course in World History presented a foundation for daily living while it instilled the knowledge and emphasized the importance of the past. United States History was required of all eleventh graders in the belief that the best place to build our knowl- edge was from America’s heritage. Since all men are fundamentally alike and have the same basic needs Mr. Christopher Rose ... U.S. History ... Key Club ... likes interesting women, sports, music, chess. and wants, the senior course in Economics and Sociology broad- ened pupils views of the world as they explored the mysteries of Wall Street through the stock market reports. As a new addition to the social studies curriculum, Human- ities revealed the relationship of man to his environment. Students learned more about man by study- ing his art, history, culture, and lit- erature. This department enabled students to have a clearer insight of their society, government, past, and surroundings which would shape each individuals impression of their future. Mr. Frank Ridley ...

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Fine arts deals with the phases of art whose chief purpose is to interpret or express the feeling of beauty. Among the newer fine arts offered at St. Stephens is art. Art classes are more advanced this year. Students have been introduced to many different art materials. Carv- ing soap figurines and shaping clay models are just a few of the new experiences encountered by art students at SSHS. The music division of fine arts has also come a long way since last year. The SSHS band has grown in number as well as volume. New uniforms have encouraged band students to devote more time to practice. The band was also invited to perform in the band festival at Duke University this past Septem- ber. The SSHS Chorus, under the experienced direction of Mr. David Rafkin has produced many fine concerts this year. The Chorus consisting of eager sophomores, juniors and seniors, raised money through various singing engage- ments to purchase and make their choral uniforms. Mrs. Donna Maye . .. Art; Alg. I; Gen.

FINE ARTS 53 Mr. James Patterson and Mrs. Phyllis Jones, custodians, are the behind-the-scenes, workers who keep S.S.H.S. in a neat condition. Because of their efficiency we can be proud to bring visitors to our school. LUNCHROOM AND MAINTENANCE Think of the difficulty of feed- ing a family of one thousand! Through the morning hours the group of women who work in our lunchroom are nimbly preparing to do just that. While we sit in morn- ing classes these busy women are preparing well-balanced meals for us. One hundred and eighty days a year they are in the kitchen work- ing to get our meals ready before the first lunch bell brings students to the kitchen. To these ladies we owe many thanks. Our appreciation should also go to the school custodians. These two people take on an enormous task, that of maintaining the entire school building. Mrs. Jones and Mr. Patterson’s day begins bright and early, and they can be found in the building after the three o’clock bell sends students home for the day. We appreciate their effort to make SSHS an attractive school. It is a familiar sight to sec Mr. Patterson with mop at hand, pacing the halls every day.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS The administrative assistants give their time and effort to performing the duties forgotten by the average student. While their friends are completing some last-minute study- ing for a test or socializing before homeroom period, the flag care- takers are performing the first and foremost daily task of raising the flag. The students operating the school store are at their post early in the morning to supply students with the materials necessary for a day of work. Throughout the day a number of girls give up their study halls to assist in the office. Running errands, endorsing checks, counting money, and answering the never- ending flow of calls are only a few of the many tasks to which these girls give their attention.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Good-sportsmanship, disappoint- ment and firm discipline are all known to the St. Stephens High School 1971 Varsity Football Squad. Starting the season with a new head coach, Mr. Keeter worked faithfully with the boys to improve their skills and strength with mus- cle-stretching calisthenics during long, extra practices, whether ankle-deep mud, rain or shine. With a grade check after the first six weeks period, each member of the team realized firm self-discipline was essential to compose skilled alert football players. Slow starting was due to unfa- miliar plays and techniques intro- duced by Coach Keeter and assis- tant coaches Frye and Ridley. But after the first half of the season, improvement broke the ice when tying with Hildebran Royals was a reality. Spirit then improved greatly in the Indian teepee. Recognition goes to all members of the football team, but it especial- ly goes to seniors, Bucky Thorn- burg, a junior and Larry Justice, a sophomore. Coach Keeter was “disappointed” but he continued to say that he had on the team a “fine group of seniors” and next year’s squad would be “inexperienced, but a good group to work with.” Go! Indians! Coaches Keeter and Ridley try to relay the next play with spirited signals and yells. As Bucky Thornburg runs ahead, he gains yard- age for an Indian touchdown. 60 VARSITY FOOTBALL First Row: T.

FOOTBALL Coaches Chris Rose and Ken Simmons look on anxiously as they receive help from upstairs. The 1971 Junior Varsity foot- ball team had a fairly good season. Their record was three wins, three losses, and one tie. The first game of the season against Gamewell was won by a forfeit. The big win came against Hildebran with a score of 38-8. The last game of the season, against Fred T. Foard, showed that the boys had the morale and deter- mination that it takes to produce a winning team. The final score was St. Stephens 14, Fred T. Foard 7. The J.V. players, under the ca- pable leadership of Dale Hollar, Chris Rose, and Ken Simmons, showed a lot of dedication and po- tential. The coaches think that the players of this fine team can make a big contribution to the varsity squad. With continued dedication, hard work, and more experience, these fine young men can be shaped into a first rate championship team. This looks like a good play coming off. It goes to show that the boys have had fine training under the capable leadership of fine coaches. 64 J.V.

These fine young men showed great strength and deter- mination in their playing. The big win came against Game- well Colletsville. The Indians emerged victorious with a score of 98-57. One of the nerve-racking and breath-taking games was with Granite Falls. The Indians edged the Demons with a score of 63-60. These young men have put a lot of effort and determination into their playing. Although they didn’t come out on top in conference play, they are number one in the hearts of their fellow students. During a Varsity game with East Lincoln, Ricky Craig and Donny Stallings move in on their Mustang opponents as Andy Rullman and Scott Shook alertly await the outcome of the struggle. VAR. BASKETBALL 67 Seniors - Susan Hawn, Betty Rumley, Kim Mullen, Vickie Kent, Jimmie Adcox and Charlene Mitchell. These girls are displaying good defensive efforts, always keeping in mind what Mr. Hilton has told them. Good teams have a good offense. Great teams have a good offense and a good defense.” Vickie Kent sinks another basket as the Indian- ettcs take the victory from Maiden. Girl’s Varsity Basketball As the St. Stephens Indians Var- sity girls bound onto the basketball court to practice before the game, the small crowd stands to urge the team to a glorious victory. Al- though the squad consists mainly of the same girls as last year, the team gained a new coach. Coach Steve Hilton with determination and faith, pushed the girls to be fourth in the conference. The mighty Indians received the percentage of wins at visiting gyms rather than in the teepee, which is unusual. But the team members, in- cluding seniors, juniors and sopho- mores, insisted on winning, proving to fans and opponents that the spir- ited Indianettes were always striv- ing to be on top.

At the close of tournament play, Cathy Cornwell was named the most valuable player. One of the major games was with Fred T. Foard.

Coach John Keeter led the fine wrestlers to an 8-6 record. Our Indians were invited to com- pete in an Invitational Tournament, held at West Wilkes High School in February. Gene Miller, Ricky Cline, and Hugh Pope received first place honors. Gary Clark and Benjy Wheeler each placed second. As in any sport, much team- work, as well as individual work, is required to produce a fine team. These wrestlers had these necessary requirements. As each member walked out onto the mat alone, the strength and confidence of his teammates went with him. Members of the wrestling team watch a bout intently and anxiously await their turn at proving their resoluteness and skill. 72 WRESTUNG Hugh Pope, determined to pin his opponent from the North Carolina School for the Deaf, executes a crossface, hoping to break down his opponent’s defense. 1971 72 Wrestling Schedule SSHS 30 West Lincoln 33 SSHS 72 North Gaston 6 SSHS 30 Charlotte Country Day 28 SSHS 14 Hudson 38 SSHS 22 West Wilkes 39 SSHS 21 West Wilkes 39 SSHS 46 East Lincoln 15 SSHS 57 North Gaston 15 SSHS 45 Hickory 18 SSHS 39 Newton-Conover 12 SSHS 33 Charlotte Country Day 24 SSHS 18 Hudson 28 SSHS 24 NCSD 34 SSHS 53 Gaffney 5 SSHS 21 NCSD 42 Senior William Thornburg is on top and seems to have the situation well under control.

BASEBALL “Strike 3, you’re out!” Certainly this is not a statement referring to the winning St. Steph- ens High School baseball team. With morale boosted high, the team zipped into the 1971 season to win, and win only in the best way. Good sportsmanship, a double award winning coach, like Harry Frye, and average and above aver- age players yield a third consecutive year SD-Seven Championship. David Clontz received the Bat- ting Champion Award with a bat- ting average of .509. He also re- ceived the Most Valuable Player Award, voted to him by his team- mates. Rusty Huffman received the Best Defensive Player Award. The end of this year’s regular season brought twenty wins and four los- ses to put the Indians in the west- ern state playoffs. Ray Allcbach races toward home plate as Foards’ catcher stands by and watches. The Indian team comes up to the plate to congratulate David on his home run. The fans sure didn’t raise their voices in protest against that blind man in the black suit this time. 74 BASEBALL It could be a tough decision for the umpire as Larry Justice slides into third, raising clouds of dust as he tries to evade the tag. Rusty Huffman displays an excellent batting stance as he waits for the right pitch so he can get a good solid hit and bring in the runs.

Coach Frye kept a close watch on them. The Indians wait patiently as they plan for that final all important upcoming game. PLAY-OFFS Donnie Stallings pitched six in- nings of perfect ball while his team- mates collected three runs in the fifth inning and the Indians ad- vanced to the State 2-A baseball semifinals, beating Randleman 3-1. The next game was against T. C. Roberson at Asheville. Roberson opened the scoring in the first inning and built a 3-0 advantage before the Indians finally came to life in the third and fifth innings. In the bottom of the seventh the score was tied 4-4, but things began to look brighter when Indian David Clontz got a single and a stolen base. He then advanced to third on an error and scored the winning run when Rusty Huffman singled to centerfield. With this 5-4 win the Indians advanced to the state finals. On June the second, the Indian team and a group of loyal fans were off to Camp Lejeune, the site of the State Class 2-A Playoffs. Their opponents, Jones Senior, picked up their nineteenth straight win edging the Indians 3-2 in the opener of a best of three series. In the second game, the Indians kept their cham- pionship hopes alive with a 6-3 win over Jones Senior High. David Clontz was the winning pitcher while Steve Bridges, Allen Dunton and Rusty Huffman each had two hits. Mike Bortz’s home run in the sixth inning lifted St. Stephens over Jones Senior to win the State 2-A diamond title by a score of 3-2. Dale Bolick, Mike Bortz and Rusty Huffman each had one hit. Mike Beck was the winning pitcher. These young men will long be remembered for their efforts as they represented our school most admirably.

The team consisted of seven talented and interested boys. It had a record of eight losses and five wins. Most of their matches were played at Tri-County Golf Course in Caldwell County and at Glen Oaks Golf Course in Maiden. The Indians placed fifth in the confer- ence match which was held at the Tri-County Golf Course. During the week, practice was held at Glen Oaks Golf Course. The boys worked long and hard to per- fect their scores. As a result of this hard work, all the players lettered. At the athletic banquet, Bruce Malpas was awarded a trophy for the most valuable player. Coach Rose summarized the team as fairly young and inexperi- enced. With more practice and ex- perience, the hard-working golfers hope to produce a winning team next year. The 1971-72 golf team was made up of seven talented young men. The team consisted of: C.

GIRL’S SOFTBALL The 1971 St. Stephens softball team was undefeated in their regu- lar season schedule. The only defeat they met was in their game against the Appalachian State University softball team in which our team was beaten by only three runs. Many hours spent practicing contributed to the team’s success. Every day the girls worked for two hours on pitching, sliding, hitting, and fielding. This was the third year of con- ference softball at St. Stephens, and it proved to be a successful one. The 1971 team was led by cap- tains Betty Rumley and Susan Hawn. BOTTOM: S. Hawn, B.

At both the conference meet and the sectional meet, the 880 relay team ran outstandingly well. They placed second at both meets. Even though the Indians did not have a very good year, they showed great determination and effort.

The large crowd shows how important the Boosters’ concession stand is at the basketball games. We appreciate all the time and effort they spend in making our ballgamcs more enjoyable. These fine, hard working Booster members show that it takes a lot of time and effort to make the concession stand a success. What would we do without the Boosters and concession stand? The St. Stephens Booster Club is an organization whose main goal is promoting athletic programs in the school and community. It is com- posed of many interested and hard working men who give much time and effort in making their club one of the best around. As many know, one of their main projects is running the con- cession stand at all home football and basketball games. They have numerous other projects also such as giving a hamburger supper for the football players and their fa- thers at the beginning of the school year, sponsoring little league foot- ball games in the fall, and hosting the athletic banquet in the spring. The Boosters have contributed much to the betterment of our school and community. We owe these fine men much thanks and appreciation for their fine work. Mr. Mai Sigmon works hard to make sure there is enough popcorn for everyone. BOOSTER’S CLUB 83 ATHLETIC BANQUET After an active sports year, the Boosters Club thanks athletes for their achievement and ability throughout the sports season, by sponsoring the annual spring Ath- letic Banquet. Athletes, their fami- les, coaches and faculty members were invited to attend the 1971 event held in the school cafeteria. Speeches and awards came after a delicious supper. Stomachs con- tentedly filled and speakers ex- hausted, awards and trophies were then distributed by coaches to out- standing players who, in turn, held out a shaky hand to receive a firm handshake from the coach to end the long, hard season of school ath- letics at SSHS.

Association With Students Improves Council Government STUDENT COUNCIL The able leaders of St. Stephens High School are the devoted mem- bers of the Student Council. In ad- dition to the student body presi- dent and his cabinet, the council also consists of the four class presi- dents. This small group of eight works together solving school prob- lems in a way which will benefit the entire student body. The main pur- poses of the organization are for- mulating student body policies, en- forcing all regulations, reviewing the work done by the student as- sembly, and supervising all student government activities throughout the year. These eight students were put into office by fellow students to represent the school and make this year a success. Striving for a better school is the main goal and concern of the Student Council. In addition, these officers complete projects with the hope of making school life more pleasant for everyone. One of their duties is to check cars for the proper school parking stickers. They also organized the legislation for opening of smoking privileges. Many other ideas and methods of leadership have been introduced by some of the members who attended such assemblies as Boy’s State and student council conventions. Meet- ing twice a month for a year, the council solved many problems which created a better atmosphere at school. St. Stephens council has accomplished many tasks and has gained recognition by the backing and hard work of these worthy leaders. John Wiley’s smile attracts the attention of the entire student body during an assembly. 88 STUDENT COUNCIL Bottom: J. Wiley, S. Shook, B. Wolf, G. Moretz, G. Tolbert, B. Good, K. Moretz, D.

STUDENT ASSEMBLY Keeping students better inform- ed about Student Government reso- lutions and by-laws in the school are achieved through the Student Assembly. Led by the Student Council, these affairs are handled by thrity-two homeroom represen- tatives. They were selected by their homeroom to represent them and to express their thoughts at all the Assembly meetings. The first meet- ing brought about the adoption of new smoking rules and regulations. Through the use of parlia- mentary procedure this group spon- sors many school projects through- out the year at St. Stephens, such as the homecoming festivities, school clean ups, spring dance, and the magazine sales. Even though the members of the Student Assembly work hard, it is an honor and a privilege to repre- sent their fellow classmates and play such an important part in the functioning of the school system. We look upon this organization for the leaders of tomorrow at St. Stephens High School. Student Council president, John Wiley, is in charge of all Assembly meetings. The homeroom representatives discuss the problems that arise daily and try to find suitable solutions. STUDENT ASSEMBLY 89 Bottom: A. Sigmon, pres.; J. Reeves, v prcs.; J. Wood, sec.; D.

Calendar Informs Students of Meeting Dates and Activities Ronnie Hefner enjoys scaring the initiates as each one thinks the person next to him is getting “it.” Actually most of the vinegar and oil hit the ground and the new members went home dry. BETA CLUB The Beta Club at St. Stephens is an honor society in which students must possess certain characteristics before they can obtain member- ship. They are chosen because of academic achievement, character, and leadership qualities. The pur- pose is to recognize students excel- ling in these areas. On initiation day new members soon forget the pride they felt when they were given their invita- tions to become members of the club. Donned in hideous costumes and kneeling in the halls makes some ask, “How can this be con- sidered an honor?” After all the fun is over, all the members get busy working on various projects. This year the club placed a club calendar in the library for everyone’s benefit and was re- sponsible for putting up and taking down the flags everyday. Other proposed projects are sponsoring a dance and submitting a picture and an article to the National Beta Jour- nal. The climax of the year comes in spring when members from all over the state meet together for fel- lowship at the Beta Convention. A new club calendar is placed in the library each month by Laura Gragg. 90 BETA Christmas Spirit Displayed in Tree of School Colors Despite cold, messy hands, Dotty Carpenter and Barbara Lee design a winning pumpkin.

QUILL SCROLL Theresa Seitz and Janet Bolton get the Christmas spirit as they shop for the right decorations and the perfect tree. Their effort was worth it, as a beautifully decorated tree was the result. The Quill and Scroll Society is a club for talented students active and interested in literary programs. To be a member, students must rank in the top third of their class, show literary skills on the Radio, Impressions, Torch, or Corona staffs, and demonstrate good qual- ity in their journalism. The purpose is to aid students in improving writing and speaking abilities. This year the literary organiza- tion hopes to create more interest by participating in different proj- ects and having various guest speak- ers at their meetings. Annually the club observes the Christmas season by setting up a Christmas tree in the school lobby. Some of the other projects proposed for this year are purchasing a filing cabinet, sponsoring a pumpkin decorating contest at Halloween, buying new Christmas decorations, replacing the national flag, and entering the school newspaper in national con- tests. In the spring, a banquet is held to reward the young journal- ists for their hard work in giving the students visual and oral means by which to remember SSHS. QUILL SCROLL 91 Bottom: M.

Timing Articles, Choosing Records, Silence, “On the Air” RADIO STAFF This year the members of the St. Stephens High School Radio Staff are continuing to give not only the St. Stephens students, but also the entire community an accurate and interesting report of the events at St. Stephens. The radio program, the “Voice of St. Stephens”, is heard on Wednesdays on WHKY due to the efforts put forth by the 18 members of the staff along with Technical Director, John Herman; and adviser, Mrs. Lydia Herman. In addition to keeping the citi- zens informed about life at St. Stephens, the staff also offers in- terested students an opportunity to become involved in radio broadcast- ing. Members of the Radio Staff are assigned to report on the various events which take place at St. Stephens each week. After writing their new stories, the members pre- sent their reports on the air. Hic weekly broadcast involves many behind-the-scene activities such as timing and assorting articles. This is directed by John Herman and assisted by Alvin Benge and Mike Carpenter. Mike Carpenter soon forgets the cold hands and butterflies as the show is “On the air.” 92 RADIO Pictures Available to Students Through Camera Club CAMERA CLUB What kind of camera is that, Scott? In the Camera dub, different cameras arc used. A “click” and a quick “flash” and another unsuspecting student becomes a subject for a Camera Club member. However, before tak- ing student action shots for use in the Corona, Camera Club members spend time in learning the various techniques of photography. At monthly meetings, members practice their basic skills and learn to develop film. They also discuss some of their individual projects and club projects such as taking photographs for students on Sadie Hawkins Day. Camera Club members are ju- niors and seniors who are interested in photography as a career or hob- by. Many Camera club members not only take pictures as a hobby but also for profit. Some take pictures for the Torch or club scrapbooks. Allen Sigmon is taking action shots for the Corona. Bottom: B. Ledford, pres.; W. McDaniels, v-pres.;C. Mitchell, sec.; Mrs. G.

One of their porjccts was selling cookbooks. Diane Cruse, Vickie Craig, and Sonya Shuffler distribute them. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Learning to live harmoniously in a family is one of the purposes of the Future Homemakers Club. Through group effort and under the direction of Mrs. Bain and Miss Bar- row, the club hopes to extend homemaking skills into the school, the communities, and individual homes. They feel that learning and sharing the arts of cooking, sewing, cleaning, decorating, and caring for children will be beneficial in their prospective roles as homemakers. At monthly meetings, the girls gain knowledge by participating in pro- grams of demonstrations and films dealing with all areas of domestic life. In its services to the school, the club makes and repairs worn drap- eries found in the classrooms. The organization also sponsors Faculty Appreciation Day. From experience gained in classrooms and from ac- tivities of the club, certainly the girls will be taking another step closer to womanhood. FHA 95 FT A Members Gain Experience from Substituting FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA “Quiet, please!” Many members of the Future Teachers of America Chapter at St. Stephens are learning to use this phrase quite frequently, as they substitute for absent teach- ers. However members of the FT A also perform many other services for teachers, while they prepare for their own teaching careers. They work as student assistants, grade papers, and help teachers with re- ports. They also sponsor a tea for the teachers each year and send Christmas cards to the faculty. The FTA also began tutoring elemen- tary students this year. The FTA offers all students an insight into teaching careers. Working over stacks of ungraded papers, Dar- lene Hedrick finds teaching not so easy. Bottom: J. Bolton, pres.; C. Mitchell, v-pres.; D. Whitener, sec.; B. Good, treas. Second Row: L. Herndon, D.

Thanksgiving Baskets, Candle Sales Activate FBLA Club FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA Thanksgiving baskets for the needy. Membership in the St. Stephens Future Business Leaders of America Club is open to all students taking a business course and preparing for a career in the business world. In addition to offering students an opportunity to learn about the various business careers and to gain valuable experience by doing some typing for teachers, the FBLA Club plans and carries out many com- munity projects. Some FBLA proj- ects this year were: preparing Thanksgiving baskets for the needy, giving a Christmas party for a group of mentally retarded children, and sponsoring a talent show at St. Stephens in February. They discuss and plan these projects at meetings. The FBLA Club shows their Christmas spirit by selling decorative candles. Charlene Hceb and Karen Spencer, getting eager for the holidays, arc unpacking the colorful scented candles. FBLA 97 Chorus Entertains Shoppers with Christmas Concert Chorus With the direction of Mr. Rafkin, the voices of forty-one tal- ented students joined together in song and melody to make up the St. Stephens Chorus. They meet fifth period each afternoon to re- hearse and learn new materials used in concerts presented throughout the year. During the Christmas sea- son several musical programs were given. Two were presented at the school for the students and the community to enjoy. On another occasion they went to Catawba Mall and gave the shoppers a gift of music and songs. The Spring and P.T.A. Concerts will also be pre- sented by the chorus. A new program has enabled the members to participate as student directors. They also boast of a tal- ented pianist that accompanies them. R.

Dressed In Red and White, Band Performs at Half-time Drum major, M. Kinchloe, leads the band in a half time show. Band If some afternoon, sixth period, strains of the school song are heard floating off the football field, it can be certain that it is the SSHS marching band practicing for Fri- day night’s football game. In the past several years, because of in- creased emphasis on music in ele- mentary schools, the number of participants has steadily advanced until they now have fifty members. Also, working with the band is a drum major, three majorettes, and their director, Mr. Rafkin. Last year interested clubs and organizations donated much time and hard-earn- ed money to help in purchasing marching and concert uniforms for the music makers. So now, instead of just sitting in the stands playing their instruments, they are on the field attractively dressed in red and white attire. St. Stephens is very proud to have these promising mu- sicians representing the school at athletic contests and school and community concerts. With the many instruments ranging from a tuba to flutes to drums, the talent- ed students offer a wide variety of entertainment for all. During sixth period tne dedicated band members work diligently at practicing their music. The daily routine of rehearsing and rehearsing again only goes to prove that practice makes perfect. BAND 99 Rockets and Experiments Increase Scientific Knowledge JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB The membership of this organi- zation consists only of freshmen and sophomores who are enrolled in one or more science classes. At monthly meetings, to add a little variety, guest speakers are often present to discuss and lecture about new scientific techniques and theories. This scientifically inclined club is designed to stimulate both students with large or small inter- ests in science and vocations which are related to science. Each year the science club par- ticipates in preparing a science car- nival for the school. This carnival consists of scientific demonstra- tions, displays, and experiments; plus games which test the knowl- edge of students in the area of sci- ence. The projects are created by the science members themselves. In addition to this, the club prepares projects to enter in the district Sci- ence Fair. Annually these young scientists plan a group trip to a place of interest to gain more knowledge in the field of science. Many areas of science arc explored through experiments. Vicki Nichols and Susan Mogray learn Jeff Reeves and Mr. Simmons explore the sci- through experience and gain knowledge of gaseous properties by creating hydrogen gas. ence of rockets as they prepare a blast off.

Outdoor Classroom Constructed by Science Department The major project of the science department was the construction of the outdoor classroom. Industrious students worked during their study halls to complete the new area of learning. SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB Further stimulating students who have an avid interest in science is the main objective of the Senior Science Club at St. Stephens High. These upperclassmen. Juniors and Seniors, who take an active part in their science classes create a wide- spread enthusiasm within the club. Business meetings are held in the afternoons and planned programs are presented in the evenings. These planned programs may consist of guest speakers which give lectures on scientific topics of great interest. The main project of the club is the annual Science Fair which dis- plays experiments, co-ordinating skills, and individual projects which expose knowledge of highest impor- tance in the science field of learn- ing. A prize is given to the person with the best project and allowed to participate in a Regional Science Fair. The club also completes many other projects during the year and contributes highly to the science department at the school. SENIOR SCIENCE 101 Solarium and Garden Plants Tended to by Biology Club BIOLOGY CLUB Dissecting frogs, raising plants, and animals, and maintaining the solarium are just a few of the many duties of Biology Club members. The club provides sophomore biol- ogy students and interested juniors with an opportunity to learn more about plants and animals through practical experience. Biology Club members are re- quired to turn in regular projects and to work a minimum number of hours for the biology department. The club also plans and carries out projects and experiments. Each member raises a particular plant for sale in the spring, and at Christmas, the club presents each teacher in the school with a dish garden. Biol- ogy Club members also provide a flower and plant storage program for the use of the teachers. This year the Biology Club was also instrumental in the building of an outdoor classroom for the school. Johnny Bowman and Jeff Crump tend to beau- tiful flowers they grew in the solarium. Not only does the Biology Club work in the solarium, but they also take care of the plants in both outdoor gardens. D. Rinck and K. Moretz work during study halls to trim the bushes. Bottom: J.

AFSCLUB “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.” This year the AFS at St. Stephens lights two candles by sponsoring Rodney Guthrie in the Americans Abroad Program and Manuel Montesinos in the exchange student program. The American Field Service pro- vides the opportunity for many to learn about other lands’ ideas, cus- toms, and habits. Promoting peace and understanding, the AFS pro- vides the experience of learning while associating with people of dif- ferent nationalities. The purpose of the student organization at St. Stephens is to create community interest and to raise funds for the two-part ex- change program. Various methods are used throughout the year to raise the needed funds. Through the exchange students, the club has shown that human na- ture is the same all over the world. AFS 103 Bottom: L.

Initiation Fills Halls with Peasants and New Members FRENCH CLUB Once a year the students of St. Stephens are surprised to find school halls inhabited by French slaves. Although they are dressed as peasants, these “slaves” are actually first-year French students being initiated into the French club. The French Club is designed for French students who are interested in learning more about the people and customs of France and other French speaking countries. The club holds regular meetings with guests coming to speak on related topics. Members also plan bulletin boards and displays for the French room. In addition, the club goes Christ- mas caroling every year. C. Fry and S. Mogray become members of the French Club by dressing as peasants. The kiosque, a French bulletin board, attracts the attention of Lynne Bolick and Andi Moore as they study and enjoy the colorful pictures and advertisements displayed by the club members. 104 FRENCH Christmas Carols Provide Entertainment for Faculty Bottom: C.

Key Club Attends Dinner Meetings and Provides Services KEY CLUB The Key club is a service organi- zation sponsored by the Kiwanis club of Hickory. Every Tuesday several different members attend business dinners with the Kiwan- ians. This gives them a chance to meet with members from other clubs in the county and to plan joint projects. Tickets to the Travel Adventure Series were sold and the St. Stephens group also presented a program at one of the dinner meet- ings. The organization holds special meetings to pick trash up off the school grounds, and is always avail- able for emergency clean-ups. Tours were also held. Membership in this active club is open to sophomore, junior, or se- nior boys willing to work and brave enough to surpass an unforgettable initiation. This group of young men show pride in their school and com- munity through valuable services and various activities. “What next!” wonders Eric Lane and Keith Sipe as old Key club member, Tony Lail thoroughly covers the initiates with oil and sawdust, their substitute for tar and feathers. Leading and conducting Key club meetings is the duty of President Phillip Jones. 106 KEY Sub-Juniors Participate in Community Service Projects SUB-JUNIORS This year, members of the St. Stephens Sub-Junior Woman’s Club attended the State Jamboree where they discussed means of raising funds for the state zoo project. Lat- er the club built a booth at the Catawba Fair encouraging others to support the zoo project. Of course, the Sub-Juniors also sponsor many other worthwhile projects including collecting for var- ious charities, sending gifts to ser- vicemen, and sponsoring a foster child. Members also make monthly visits to the Western Carolina Cen- ter. In addition, St. Stephens Sub- Juniors play the Hickory High Sub- Juniors in a powder puff football game every fall, and sponsor the “Mr. St. Stephens Pageant” in the spring. The St. Stephens Sub-Junior Woman’s Club is made up of sopho- more, junior, and senior girls eager to help improve their community.

PEP CLUB With members of all classes, the Pep Club has over two hundred stu- dents. These students are con- stantly displaying their school spirit, fair play, and sportsmanship at a number of different activities throughout the year at St. Stephens. Each class is well repre- sented at all activities, hoping to win the spirit jug for their partic- ular class. Since the main goal of the club is promoting school spirit, the members cleaned the activity bus, cleaned windows, and sold school buttons. Each member rep- resents the school to the best of his ability. PEP 109 Several weeks before Christmas the DECA Club asked for donations of new or old toys to be given to children. T. Dixon, E. Comette, and D. Eckard display some of the toys collected. D.E.C.A. The Distributive Education Clubs of America are national orga- nizations established for high school and college students wishing to enter the business world as a career. Experience, knowledge, and skills are obtained in class work and on the job training. By being edu- cated in this manner, the students are better qualified for leadership positions in business. The club has several civic and service projects throughout the year. During the month of Decem- ber, old toys were collected, re- paired, and then given to needy children as Christmas gifts. Another project is sponsoring the Bosses Banquet. This gives the students a chance to acquaint their em- ployers with the DECA program. The funds are raised by selling candy. T. Eckard and T. Caldwell entertain their employers at the annual Bosses' Banquet. Toys Collected for Needy C hildren at Christmas Bottom: Mr. Whitener, adviser; L. Townsend, pres.; J. Pearson, v.-pres.; D.

The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America are organizations which offer students training for industry work. This program also provides students with an education from classroom participation and from actual experience. The VICA Club consists of sev- eral divisions. One is ICT, or Indus- trial Co-operative Training. Brick- laying is another part designed for boys interested in pursuing the trade. A relatively new program is Carpentry, which can be taken in the workshop. VICA members, C. Helton and C. Hedrick, op- erate the school store every morning. Bottom: Mr. J. D.

BUS DRIVERS Waking up before dawn to crank up an old cold school bus, getting wet and putting chains on stubborn wheels on snowy and icy winter days, being responsible for a load of noisy students after an exhausting day of studies, taking an extra thirty minutes each week to sweep out dirt and papers, and only eating half a breakfast so as not to be late for the first stop are some of the activities of the often forgotten bus drivers.

The club provides the members with a basic back- ground and knowledge in playing this strategic and tactical game. One of the projects of the Chess Club was purchasing several chess sets. The highlight of the club was playing a tournament against Hickory High. Although the game was not a success, it enabled the members to learn new maneuvers and procedures. Another important project was the choosing of a chess champion within the entire school. The intriguing game of chess fascinates both male and female intellects. Lynne Bolick and Andrea Moore find a quiet and secluded room where they may concentrate and enjoy the game. CHESS 113 Bottom: J Reeves, editor-in-chief; W. McDaniels, J. Wood, senior rep.; Mr. D.

Reeves, evaluate submitted materials for Impressions. IMPRESSIONS Hard work, student support, and participation have caused the St. Stephens literary magazine to re- ceive state-wide recognition as an outstanding high school literary publication. Impressions, which is sponsored by the accelerated English classes, is published every spring. The maga- zine contains poems, short stories and essays written and submitted by students. Illustrations also are submitted by the students of St. Stephens. After the material has been sub- mitted, it is read and graded by the editors. Two editors from each overall class, along with the editor- in-chief elected from the senior class, decide what material will be included in that year’s issue of Im- pressions. Impressions, which was begun in 1966 to give students a medium for self-expression, continues to display the creative talents of the young minds of St. Stephens. 14 IMPRESSIONS Monthly Paper Informs SSHS of Local Happenings TORCH STAFF G. Lane and G. Elliott are fulfilling their jobs by running off pages for the Torch. Accurate news stories, complete coverage of school athletics, and interesting features and columns are all important components of the St. Stephens High School monthly newspaper, the Torch. However, before any issue of the Torch is completed, members of both the editorial and business staffs of the newspaper must dedi- cate much of their free time to pub- lishing a newspaper that will pre- sent an accurate picture of life at St. Stephens. Sports and news re- porters cover athletic contests and other important events, while fea- ture reporters write interesting and amusing articles. These articles are then checked by the editors, typed, and mimeographed and finally the circulation staff puts the paper to- gether. The Torch staff members work frantically putting the Torch together the day before it goes on sale. Organizing the pages, binding them, and distributing them arc their responsibilities. Bottom: J.

Her many jobs include planning pictures, drawing layouts, writing copy, typing, and seeing that deadlines are met. i An important part of annual work is choosing suitable pictures that will also fit the layouts. Beth Hefner and Vickie Kent decide on the photographs they want to use in their different sections. Laura Echerd uses the cropper to proportion pictures to the layouts for the class section. 116 CORONA Two Staffs Create Annual Depicting Year at SSHS Deborah Whitener works long, hard hours to meet the final deadline for Corona materials.

CORONA Layouts to plan, copy to write, pictures to identify, and ever- nearing deadlines are always im- portant topics of discussion of the Corona editorial staff members. They work long hours trying to pre- serve the memories of an entire school year in the form of a year- book. The individual editors meet with their staff members to discuss problems which may arise, and to make assignments. After assign- ments are received, the members re- search the topic, write the copy, and count characters. The copy is then checked by the staff and copy editors and is finally ready for the typists. Another important part of putting together an annual is plan- ning pictures. They must be crop- ped to fit the layouts, and then captions are written for them. All the staff members, including the individual editors, the photo- graphers, the typists, and especially the editor-in-chief, work together to turn out a Corona that will ac- curately depict a year at St. Stephens. However, no Corona could be successful without the help of the business staff. Starting early in the summer months, the staff begins selling ads to local merchants and individuals. They are continually trying to reach a higher goal than ever be- fore. Selling the Corona to fellow students and teachers is another re- sponsibility of the staff. The money received from selling advertisements pays for the printing of the year- book. The financial position of the whole Corona staff rests entirely upon the business staff. Working with action shots, Diedri Yount com- poses interesting and factual captions. CORONA 117 INDIVIDUALS 1972 Freshmen being “welcomed” to SSHS by sophomores, juniors, and especially seniors ...

During this year, seniors make decisions about their future, such as whether to continue their education or to pursue a career in the business world. Caps and gowns have to be ordered, along with in- vitations for graduation. The senior year holds many hours of work and effort, both at school and away from school, at home, church and work. In the spring of the year comes the Junior-Senior prom, and later, graduation and many sad good-byes to old friends. After a well deserved trip to the beach, seniors have a summer to rest before beginning their life’s role in society.

Kevin Spencer, since receiving an injury early in the season, helps K. Furguson with statistics. THE JUNIOR CLASS As each respectable member of the junior class strolls down the hall, he takes priority to his advan- tage until a senior takes the same steps behind him. A busy year filled with dreams of becoming a senior, and childish memories of being a sophomore, become reality when it is time to order class rings and take the PSAT and National Merit Schol- arship Test. Selecting the band and decorations for the Junior-Senior Prom is easy compared to paying the bill. But the small hardships of being a junior fade as the year grows old, exams pass and summer arrives. 136 JUNIORS Teresa Abernathy Ray Allebach Kathy Angle Jan Annis Becky Arndt Carolyn Arnold Steve Arrowood Brenda Auton Tamara Baker Don Ball Terri Barger Jeff Barrier Tanya Beard Jimmy Beckom Joel Beckom Debbie Benfield Alvin Benge Barbara Bentley Jeannine Blake Kathy Bolick Lynne Bolick Anthony Bowman Debbie Bowman Debbie L.

The Sophomore class arrived at SSHS bringing back memories of their freshman year and vowing to gain revenge from the new fresh- man class. Sophomores were given that never-to-be forgotten biology book and were introduced to many new subjects that they were offered for the first time. Besides believing in their right to pass up in the lunch line, they began to take their place as leaders in other school activities. In striving to possess the “Spirit Jug” many sophomores were seen at ball games in order to show their great Indian support and spirit. Sev- eral sophomore boys went through the grueling Key Club initiation and other sophomores made their own presence felt on the athletic teams. They look forward to serving as waiters and waitresses at the Prom. 144 SOPHOMORES Susan Abee Cindy Abercrombie Randy Adcox Barbie Allison Pat Anderson Jackie Anglin Linda Arnold Karen Austin David Baker Steve Baker Keith Barlowe Robert Barnette Mike Beam Sharon Beard Scott Bedington Chris Benfield Gary Benfield Pam Benge Barney Bentley Susan Benton Rita Berry Diane Blake Cynthia Blalock Jim Bolick Melissa Bolick Theda Bolick Tony Bolick Cindy Bost Trudy Boston Jackie Bowen Barbara Bowman Dwight Bowman Ricky Bowman Steven Bowman Roxanne Bridges Judy Brown Dennis Bumgarner Karen Bumgarner Ricky Bumgarner Roben Bunton Donna Caldwell Wayne Campbell SOPHOMORIS 145 Dottie Carpenter Luanne Chapman Faith Clampitt Mark Cline Ricky Cline Tony Cline Randy Cloer Stewart Cloer Randy Clontz Debra Conary Brad Cook Eugene Cook Tony Cook Alan Crouch Roxanne Crowder Jeff Crump Diane Cruse Stan Dale Monica Davis David Daye Ashley Deal Cathy Deal Eric Deitz Kenneth Dellinger Debbie Dietz Robin Dietz 146 SOPHOMORES Sharon Dixon Bill Duncan Randy Duncan Shelley Dunmyre David Eckard Kenneth Eckard Anita Foil Randy Forbes Kathy Foster Cindy Fox Mike Fox Mike Fredell Cathy Fry Debbie Frye Gary Frye Samuel Frye Libby Fulbright Ricky Futrelle Rick Gabriel Steve Gaddy Tony Gaines Angela Gantt Jan Gilbert Carolyn Goforth Lots of unusual situations can be spied by taking a stroll through the halls are definitely the first to be seen using the corridor as an exercising ground of St. Stephens, but Trey Rullman, Kenny Nieuwallis, and Ricky Bowman to catch up on their daily physical fitness program.

Although some of them experienced unpleasant initia- tions and got pushed around alot, the year also had good points for them. In sports the freshman class had representatives on the varsity bas- ketball and wrestling teams aside from having their own basketball and football teams. The freshman took part in school government by serving as homeroom representatives and vot- ing in school elections. In their own election they chose David Haynes as their president. The whole class enjoyed extra- curricular activities such as dances, pep rallies and ball games. Freshman Class President:David Haynes.

COPY EDITORS: Terra Bowman, Libby Cornwell Staff Editors A yearbook is more than ink on paper. It is the life and breath of months of planning and work by staff members. Headed by these staff editors, they show a never- ending parade of classes, sports, activities and the people who make up St. Stephens, hoping that by showing the school’s accomplish- ments, pride and allegiance in St. Stephens will blossom. INDEX: Deborah Whitener - Editor PHOTOGRAPHERS: Danny Yount Allen Sigmon TYPISTS: Karen Allison Deborah Eckard ORGANIZATIONS: Theresa Scit Editor Cindy Brewer Dicdri Yount Vickie Sweat ACADEMICS: Lydia Herman - Editor Susan Rogers Janet Bolton CLASS: Laura Echerd - Editor Kim McMaham Lynne Herndon Susan Bowman ATHLETICS: Vickie Kent Editor Deborah Whitener Sharon Blalock STUDENT LIFE: Beth Hefner Editor Vanessa Davis Janet Bolton STAFF EDITORS 221 Editor’s Last Word A school that enriches the indi- vidual, instead of merely processing him, remains worthy of one’s devo- tion. It is a place abounding with opportunities for pursuing individ- ual interests and developing talents which contribute to the student’s growth as a citizen. St. Stephens is all of this and more, for its life is informal and provides memories never to be forgotten, and yet digs deeply for ways to make itself more effective as a part of the individual student’s quest for knowledge. As students grow in their knowledge of books, they attempt to sustain a traditional school spirit which is a part of every student and teacher, and one that implants into every heart the spirit of pride and sports- manship which go hand in hand with learning. What St. Stephens is and will be, will always depend basically upon the individual stu- dent’s accomplishments with the opportunities offered to each indi- vidual at St. Stephens. Emerging as a product of all editorial staff members, this 1972 Corona remains as the last tangible evidence of student’s accomplish- ments in the aspects of academics, activities, athletics and honors at St. Stephens High School in the year nineteen hundred and seventy-two.
