KYLE DICKSON FOREWORD What makes our school so special to us and different from others? Could it be that binding force that knits a student body together in the stream of life? Elusive? Yes. Intangible? Yes. But made up of eddies and currents which, when joined, spell pride-pride in the classrooms, the football field, the basketball court or the dance floor-Day by day experiences which make the school dear to us spot our school years-times of friendship and fun-times to remember-All these forces of pride and moments to remember make up our stream of life at Ashe Central. 5 1 5 : I 2 , z E I ! p, T T T T 5 li Fl A T 1 4 3 5 1 1 I TABLE OF CONTENTS FEATURES ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES CLASSES ADMINISTRATION ACHIEVEMENT ff xp WW S ax vi? swf 4 Y ,, 2 K Q f 53,135 i Q X iw :Nw AA V W em ge J?-in -. ,V ef sf: Nm 'P 1 1' starts down the hall then the Glee Club SingS- Ready to go.

FRANCIS COACH MORRIS WALKER Ashe Central Has Good Season ASHE CENTRAL ENDS FOOTBALL SEASON WITH 4-5-l RECORD Ashe Central has completed its most successful foot- ball season in the history of the school with four wins, five losses and a tie. Coach Morris Walker attributes this to a squad of boys who had a good attitude, who wanted to win and also to the people of the community who took more interest in football. The football squad, 33 in number, was the largest ever. It included 7 Seniors, 8 Juniors, 6 Sophomores, and 12 Freshmen. It was good to see so many Freshmen show- ing an interest in football. leading in statistics during the past season was a new- comer to football, john Oliver. In his first year he led the fine defensive team of Ashe Central with 8 tackles per game. This contributed heavily to holding four opposing teams score less. On offense he was the leader in rushing yards with 532, with 5 touchdowns and 6 extra points. John was selected athlete of the month and at the same time was chosen student of the month.

He completed 661 yards, with his most outstanding achievement coming against our rival, Beaver Creek. In this game he scored two touchdowns, and with his team led us to victory 20-14. The leading pass receiverwas Lane Hurley who caught 22 passes for 225 yards. Lane teamed with Gerry Shoaf, Bill Dancy, Carl Wingler and Creig Bare to give the backs some good blocking. These boys also provided a good defense all season. Our quarterback was Phil Witherspoon, who did an outstanding job. He completed 26 out of 62 passes for 408 yards. He also had his best game against B. C., passing for two touchdowns. Other boys who played well were Clyde Johnson, Bob Harrison, John Lawson, jimmy I-Iudler, David Lambert, Charlie Bowers, Gary Caldwell, Jackie Bare, Steven Douglas and Randall West.

CLYDE JOHNSON JOHN LAWSON BOB HARRISON CHARLIE BOWERS GARY CAIDWELL DAVID LAMBERT Tri-Captains: Charles Holt, Phil Bowers and Lane Hurley. Our goal in the win and loss column is to better the conference record of last year which was five wins and nine losses. We also wish to play in the State Tournament. However we feel that there are many things more important than the score of a ball game. The real game is learning to get along with othersg learning to work as a groupg developing character and personalityg developing habits of fair ply, learning to carry out responsibilitiesg to think clearly, to develop leadership qualitiesg to build self-confidence and to be able to accept de- feat gracefully.

Under the direction of their new head coach, Wade Rose, the boys showed all- around teamwork by winning 58-32. The scoring was led by Lane Hurleywith 14 points and Charles Holt with 12 points. Three seniors, Phil Bowers, Charles Holt, and Lane Hurley are representing the team as tri-captains for the year. It is an honor to be an athlete and represent the school. To be a basketball player at Ashe Central High School, one is expected not only to be a skilled player but also to possess high qualities of conduct andto meet certain academic requirements. Basketball is a great thing. It is too great for one person, for one team, or many groups. It is too great for athletes to show poor sportsmanship and tear down the ideals and qualities that make basketball a great sport. Thus We at Ashe Central would like to give a salute to sportsmanship. We as a team are proud of our fans, our gymnasitun, and our school. We hope that our sportsmanship will be as great as all of these com- bined.

Fun Time and Football To Aslwe Central THE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is a benefit to everyone who partici- pates in it. To begin with, it improves the condition of the body and teaches a person how to take care of his physcial being. Second, it provides a basic introduction to the prin- ciples ofthe popular sports. It gives a person good training in working, playing, and associating with his fellowmen. Last, but certainly not least, physical education helps develop the qualities of leadership in those who participate. When physical education is taken seriously as well as light-heartedly it can be a great assest in future years. 33 Physical Education class participates in gym nastics every day. The boys take setting-up exercises. School Spirif ls Promofed By These Cheerleader Who are the Panthers? We are the Panthers. What 1-cind of, Panthers? Blackk Panthers, So yell you Panthers, yell.

It includes the extra-curricular activities of the students as well, so that the friends and patrons of the school get a good idea of the well rounded program the school provides for the students. Publishing the school paper teaches those who work on the material how to write copy and how to manage and finance the Luidertaking.

Through careful research and study of various debate topics, a deeper knowledge of the world and its problems is developed. One of the greatest advantages of the club is that its members gain inspiration to face an audience and discuss problems of today freely, with suggestions for solving those problems. The club inspires youthto stand, speak, and think alone. OFFICERS WANDA HOWELL ................... . ...... President JO ANN NEAL ......... ........ V ice President BRACEL BAUGUESS . . . . . .

The Program Committee makes plans for the year. The first number will be the initiation of new members. The En- tertainment Committee begins to think of new and novel ideas to spring on the members at the various meetings to be held during the year. 41 Many Subject Maffer Related Clubs Mr Kerley and Mr Hurley supervise a science club meeting where groups of members pursue some special interest. Some are preparing biology drawings while others are planning chemical experiments. A great event of the year is the SCIENCE CLUB Most modern advancements for the good of mankind are in the realm of science, for through it, gateways to tomorrow are opened. Through study and research, man constantly rises in the elimination of pestilence and disease. Science ever strives to make our homes more livable, improves our entertainment, discovers new power sources to speed transportation. Without science we would have little chance for advancement. The students in the classroom of today must be the scientists of tomorrow. For this reason, science is required for all high school graduates.

Hold lnferesf For Sfudenfs To meet the needs of an ever-changing business world, the Ashe Central Business Department strives to prepare students to become efficient office personnel. The training given in our de- partment is made realistic to the students by bringing as nearly as possible the different office situations into the class room. Students gain through experience and learn to accept responsi- bility by performing various duties in the school. They serve as typists on the annual and newspaper staffs and assist faculty members and organizations with their clerical work.

K d' MATHEMATICS CLUB The pressure of preparing the pupil for examinations, college entrance, and practical everyday problem solving has left little time in the traditional curriculum for consideration of many more interesting topics in the various fields of mathematics. A mathematics club should be composed of members with keen interest in pure mathematics and adesire to investigate some of the many more attractive topics, even though less practical for immediate application. It is this kind of interest and experimentation that has, through the ages, stimulated individuals to invent new mathematics and has separated the true mathematicians from the problem-solvers.

It has been said, The love of books is the cornerstone of the American Dream. The total library book circulation for last year of 8,000 to 400 students seems evidence enough that Ashe Central students have a love of books that guides them toward knowledge. It indicates an interest in reading that will inform and at the same time provide a pleasant use of leisure in the future.

The vocational Agriculture Program at Ashe Central is mainly designed for farm boys who wish to become estab- lished in farming. Boys who enroll in agriculture are asked to enroll for all four years in order to receive full benefits from the program. At the completion of fouryears the student will receive four units toward graduation. Vocational Agriculture is a three phase program: fly class- room instruction, Q21 farm mechanics or farrn shop, and 13, supervised farming. The classroom work consists of the study of such enterprises as livestock, poultry, and field crops. We try to instruct students in the best practices to follow in such things as management, feeding, fertilization, marketing and anything else connected with agriculture. Ag.

This is part of his super- vised farming program. Student must check his project often as part of his supervised pro- gram so he checks for parasites and for growing condition. The farm shop phase of the program gives the student an opportunity to learn by doing. Instruction is given in both woodwork and metal work. We encourage students to get experience in wood working by making something useful for their homes. Instruction in metal work is largely in the area of welding. Students may obtain practical experience in both electric and oxy-acetylene welding. Supervised farming is actually the vocational phase of the program. Students are asked to have at least one project such as raising a calf, cultivation of an acre of corn, raising a 1 pig, or something similar in order that on-the-farm super- vision may be given. The student will be visited by the ' teacher about three times a year so that the instructor can help the student with his farming program.

The colonial setting was the basis for a dance long to be re- membered. Waltzes, foxtrots, rock 'n roll, yes-even a novelty dance resulted from the mood created by color- ful streamers, balloons, and magnolia trees. Our sophomore colored waiters served food in co-ordination with our color scheme of green, yellow, and pink. Yes, the junior- Senior Prom of 1961 was truly an event to be long remembered in the hearts of those who attended. 77 Mr. Miller admires the entrance which is an artistic masterpiece.

With the coming of the dignity of being a junior come studies that are different and more difficult. One must take the stiff United States History course as well as geometry and chemistryg particularly, if he is going to college. The chief extra-curricular in- terest of the juniors is the raising of money for the junior- Senior affair to be held in the spring. The sock hops, selling of all kinds of articles to raise money, and then the plans tobe made for the great event consume all the extra time of the majority of the class members.
