HARLAN LEDFORD ...... ADVISER 1964 THAT Uordafil YEAR According to Webster, the word LAUREL is defined as ''a small evergreen shrub; a crown of honor; distinction. . To the students of Appalachian High School, the word LAUREL means a book summarizing ayear of life at Appalachian High--''comprising within a small compass choice bits of an eventful school year. It is the purpose of the 1964 LAUREL to unfold the events of the year as. the seasons unfold--fall, winter, and spring. The completed work will be a book of memories--memories of a wonderful year at our alma mater. The seasons were good to Appalachian High this year. A warm autumn came with pep rallies, football games, Alumni Day, the Harvest Dance, and Thanksgiving holidays. As winter came, the weather turned colder, and students quickened their paces in happy anticipation of Christmas vacation. We went to basketball games, wrestling matches, the Christmas Dance, and kept up with the news with the High Life. Then came spring, and Appalachian High was at her best. The talent show, senior play, proms, and final exams kept us busy, but not too busy to look toward graduation with mixed emotions. The seniors leave Appalachian High to go on to college, trade school, or a job. Others stay behind, looking forward to the year they will be seniors. To those leaving, may the 1964 LAUREL serve to remind you of that wonderful year--1964. To those who stay, may the 1964 LAUREL inspire you to even greater heights in 1964 and 1965.

As ateacher and friend of the students at Appalachian High School, she has done much to instill in them those qualities which will best suit them the their roles as mature useful adults. : , | Her understanding, patience, and wisdom have suited her well for her guidance work, and any problem, large or small, gets the same friendly, intelligent considerations. As an English teacher, her enthusiasm and knowledge have helped students to gain an interest- ing insight into the areas of literature and grammar...Her abilities are also exhibited in the capable leadership and guidance’she has siven to the graduating class of 1964. Weknowher as a person whose principles and integrity have served both her and each of us as a guide in our education and daily life. For all these things, we proudly and gratefully dedicate the 1964 LAUREL to our friend and teacher, MISS KATE PETERSON. i rr TT “WE ARE 22 MISS KATE PETERSON, a person of high ideals and sparkling personality, has earned the title of a loyal friend and a capable teacher and advisor.

Blanton, Principal Years gently glideby ... time swiftly sails on... our school grows in size and prestige . .. all this under the capable leadership of our Principal, Dr. Roy R. Blanton. Dr. Blanton is a leader whom we all love and admire for his undying faith in the students of Appalachian High School. He has led our school to what it is . . . ''The School of Distinc- tion . . . by correcting us when we are wrong... defending us ...and praising us... Yes, Dr. Blanton is truly a leader to merit a wave of applause from the student body. MR. JACK GROCE Assistant Principal Mr. Groce, a man of unceasing energy and deep understanding, became Assistant Principal of AHS in 1961. Under his guidance and leadership, the school has experi- enced steady growth. Itis the desire of Mr. Groce and the entire faculty at AHS to give students a foundation that will enable them to develop a sound philosophy by which to live--a foundation that will insure for them a happy and successful future. MRS. GLADYS SHELTON Secretary MRS. MARGARET GRAGG Counselor Our indispensable counselor is Mrs. Margaret Gragg. A great deal of work goes into the job of counseling the students of AHS and sheis always willing to render service to addi- tional projects that concern Appa- lachian High. Mrs. Gragg has a job that few people would envy--but, as she handles everything else, she manages this in a capable, efficient manner. MISS GLENDA AUSTIN Secretary ROBERT E. SNEAD J oH Ge.

For those who wish to make a career of science, AHS is proud of the foundation it lays for them. 26 ELAINE JONES Furman Univ., B.A. ASTC, M.A. Gen. Science Senior Science STEWART BAILEY ASTC, B.S.

Anaccelerated English course stimu- lates the interest of college preparatory stu- dents. Others may take a less vigorous course. Still others may take a reading course. Students first receive thorough inculcation of English grammar. Creativity and theme writing is emphasizedinallclasses.

FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS Every high school looks with pride on its cheerleaders. Appalachian is no exception. Headed by Martha Allen, this spirited group has aided our football program tremendously. Through their leadership, the spirit among students has been greatly improved. Leading the chants and cheers at varsity football games, they played a most prominent role. During the football season, the girls were constantly seen sparking student interests. Throughout the season, much time was devoted to practice in order to present better and clever routines. Mr. Bob Snead, the sponsor of the cheerle had the privilege of working with since he has that these girls have shown at all our football games. aders, said that this was the hardest working group of girls that he nas been at A.

AHS WRESTLERS STATE CHAMPIONS Mr. Steve Gabriel, one of the f inest wrestling coaches in the nation, coached our wrestling team to its twelfth straight undefeated season. Inthe picture at left, he is shown helping Weldon Critcher assume the correct position for a cross-face ride on Scott Stanbery. Appalachian's grapplers now have the second longest winning streak in the nation, mainly due to the leadership and coaching ability of Coach Gabriel. The winning streak now stands at 123, andif the the team goes undefeated next season, they willsurpass the current record of 130 con- secutive victories. Mr.Gabrielstarted the wrestling program at A. H. S. and has built it tobe one of the largestathletic programs in th e school. Stanley Carroll and Johnny Cooke are demonstrat- ing the standing escape from referee's position. Johnny Cooke was third in state and Stanley Carroll was state champion in the 95 lb. weight division. Co-captains Alton Johnson and Royce Carroll show the figure-four grapevine. Royce was state cham- pion at 127 lb. class and Alton was state champion at the 138 lb. class. Alton was named the most valuable wrestler of the 1964 season. Gary Hodges is shown demonstrating the wizard on GregStanbery. Both boys are juniors and will help the team next year. Weldon Critcher and Johnny Stacy show the navy ride. Weldon wrestled at the 133 lb. class and he should do real well for us next year. Johnny was state champion at the 120 lb. class and his team- mates elected him the ''most improved wrestler. Alvin Hardy and Bill Shrake demonstrate the re- feree's position from the whistle. Bill and Alvin both came out late in the season and both learned quickly. They should do real well next year.

STATE TOURNAMENT SCENES For the first time in history, the North Carolina High School state wrestling tournament was heldin Boone. Appalachian, always a strong contender in the state tournament, rolled to its third consecutive state title and its seventh in the last eight years. This was one of the most convincing triumphs as the blue devil grapplers had clinched the title even be- fore wrestling their final matches. Overall, Appala- chian took a total of six in- dividual championships.

AHS TRACK TEAM— Coach Bob Poe, in his first year at Appalachian, led the track team to its second con- secutive conference crown. This is only the second year that Appalachian has had a track team and Coach Poe is laying a good foundation for the future. The team headed by senior co-captains Phil Hampton, and Sidney Young, successfully defended its title against strong competition from Elkin, North Surry, and Surry Central. In the top pic- ture, Coach Bob Poe checks the times of sprinters Phil Hampton, Jackie Roten, and Gerald Clawson as they pre- pare for the conference meet. The bottom picture shows the first-place winners in District 7 AA. With only two seniors and five juniors onthis year's squad, Appalachian can look forward to more successful track teams in the future.

And after all, don't you think this would be one of the most interesting pages in the annual? Wouldn't you like to know what happened to us during our days of high school lite 2 Each one of us arrived at Appalachian High School with experiences and will de- part with new ones. One profits from these many different experiences--Attending classes, going to assembly, participating in extracurricular activities, making friends, consulting with teachers, visiting Bill's, yelling for Appalachian's Gray and Blue, worrying about grades--all of these become a precious part of us. In August of 1960, this group of seniors congregated in the gym of AHS as the fresh- manclass. These freshmen came not from one school but from many surrounding schools to be combined into the future class of '64. We really had funour freshman year, didn't we? We joined clubs, made new friends, and found out that we really didn't have to be afraid of the upperclassmen (at least not as much as we thought we would). All too soon, it seemed, what was once referred to as Green Freshmen found themselves as sophomores. The subjects became a little harder, but the fun was even greater! The faculty guided us through another profitable and successful year. As juniors, we will be remembered as the happiest and most dependable class that ever walked (or ran) the halls of AHS. Our junior year was highlighted by the ordering of our class rings and the great success of the Junior-Senior Prom. The Prom took a great deal of hard work (just ask Mrs. Hughes, Miss Peterson, and Mr. Ross), but it was worthit all to ''Climb the Stairway to the Stars for anevening. Can any of us for- get winning all those football games and wrestling matches? We sure did display our part of Appalachian's famous school SPIRIT. NO, as juniors we won't soon be for- gotten, especially by Miss Peterson since we left her with many headaches. And now after all that work we're Seniors! Yes, regardless of all the aches and pains and eye Strain inflicted upon us by Julius Caesar, physics, trig, Mr. Gabriel, and four years of English--we're SENIORS, in our opinion the best senior class to ever graduate from Appalachian High School. We have proved this over and over again in the three years leading up to our senior year. We are all proud of our senior class; we have set a good example to the underclassmen and also presented a challenge for them to follow. Now that we have reached the 'top of the stairs and life's door is awaiting our knock, we look back and wonder ... We wonder at all that we have seen and touched and been a part of. Soon we will leave, striving for a new and better life beyond the realms of high school. We were taught in high school to be more independent and to pro- fit from our errors; if we have learned this, we will have made a success of our high school education. With grateful appreciation and humble gratitude to all those who have helped us in attaining our goal, graduation from high school, we leave our dear AHS to go our separate ways.

That glorious enthusiasm, however, was soon absorbed by our diligent work for the Junior- Senior, hours of planning and decorating, and the magazine sale. Anticipation mounted as the Junior Marshals were announced. Yes, this became the most genuine year of our career. Our able Junior sponsors were Mr. Broyhill, Mrs. Church, Mr. Gabriel, Miss Hurd, and Mr. Snead. MR.

Although we assumed the nickname 'punks'', we accepted the title proudly for we represented new faces, new laughs. Our first dance... our first ball games ... our first pep rallies.
