This is the Way. Pi Ashlev Senior High is significantly located on the corner of South York Street and West Seventh Avenue. On the East side of this intersection is our High School— on the West is the Lutheran Church and the home of Mr. Lawrence Wyss. One of our favorite teachers used to stand at his classroom window and look thoughtfully upon this scene. Then he would turn and say, Class, this is why you are seeking to get an education— to go from Ashley High into your home and into your church. Success in life will be measured by the quality of your membership in these two insti- tutions. I am little concerned about what your income bracket is going to be twenty years from now— but I am deeply interested in what your spiritual development will he and what your home relationships are. I he Spinner Staff of 1957 sincerely dedicates the yearbook to this philosophy of teaching and of learning. CuVnjUrJiAAXxdLLov .

Student organizations and extra-curriculai activities exist to give individuals the opportunity for this growth. In 1952 the Student Council was organized under the New Constitution for the student body. The Council has given opportunity for the development of student leadership and of student expression. This is the Wav was ablv defined by the students in Article III and Section I of the Constitution: Charles Earnest Brooks Heber Keith Brunnemer, Jr. Nancy Grace Goble Dan Edgar Kale Robert Lee Murray Jon Eric Parrish Ronald Aden Smith Trent Ramsey Wilson James Gladwyn Costner Kenneth Charles Beam Lana Louella Boyles Roger Durham Coon Bobby Lee Dellinger Susan Lenora Froneberger Samuel Phillip Jackson Alice Marie Huss Graham Calder Mullen Bonnie Frank Norris, III David Allen Smith Larry - Milton Stacey Stephen Edward Wilson Marvin Coleman Beasley Lellon Bryant Boly-nn Deanna Faye Burgess Sharon Annelle Cannon Max Neill Dellinger Rebecca Ann Coffey Leonard LeRoy- Friday Joseph Wallace Hanes Richard Phillips Hill William McConnell Jones George Wooley Lingle, Jr. Susan Jane McGinnis Otis Lamar Peach Alice Faye Robinson Gus Ellis Scott Loretta Lee Spirlin Rosemary- Thomas Donna Louise Yancey- 1. “High School is an institution of learning and a place for young people to train for a better wav of living. 2. “ The Honor Svstem should be the basis of all con- duct. Every effort should be given to the develop- ment of good citizenship based upon personal honor. 3. “The school is widely known because of the things for which it has stood and for which it stands. The lives that we lead in school and out. as well as those that we lead later as adults, speak loudlv as to the school’s worth.” r ail 4 tjMs BUILDING COMMITTEE Richard Lee Dixon, Chairman Kenneth Charles Beam Sara Kathryn Dickson Helen Ann McArver Sy ' lvia Dale Parks J o Anne Rockett James Arthur Smith Paul Eugene Walsh William Preston Whisnant PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE Christina Lee Looper, Chairman James Allen Alexander Billy Caldwell Robert William McCarter Harry McClellan Moffett Julia Wainwright Summerrell Leah Theresa Ward Rachel Beatrice Young GROUNDS COMMITTEE David Davoe Jordan, Chairman Heber Keith Brunnemer, Jr. William McConnell Jones Carole Kafitz King Lucy Ann Rawlings Dana Lee Smith Ollie Gaynelle Spencer John Russell Talley, Jr. CUSTOMS COMMITTEE Wilson Marshall LaFar, Chairman Betty Jane Daniel Ann Spurrier Falls Susan Lenora Froneberger Joan Hannafi Kirby Joseph Merriman Lasater David Michael Tarlton FINE YARNS STAFF Sylvia Parks Editor-in-Chief Lane Rockett Managing Editor Ed Clarke Art Editor Dave Chant Director of News Bureau Lou Littlefield Assistant Editor Delores Jenkins Assistant Editor Esther Adams Assistant Editor Ena Bishop Assistant Editor Barbara Huffstetler Assistant Editor Tommy Reynolds Assistant Editor Jo Abernathy Sophomore Editor Pierre Bailey Staff Photographer |oe Lasater Business Manager Ann Falls Chief Typist Janie Whitworth Circulation Manager Mr. Robert Riddle Sponsor Jane Bradley, Joe Anderson, Bill Poole Reporters Many school activities are covered in the Fine Yarns, which is published six times a year and every liigli scliool student is a subscriber. The 1956-57 staff was seventeen members of Mr. Robert B. Riddle’s Journalism Class. The basic purpose of this class is to learn the fundamentals of good journalism and to publish our school newspaper, Fine Yarns. i m j f p- ® MONITORIAL COUNCIL Ronald Smith Chief Ashley Senior High has been an outstanding high school in many respects. The one which has brought most praise to our school has been the ex- cellent program of citizenship training. A. I l.S. is known throughout the state and the entire Southeast of our nation for the good behavior of the student body. Courtesy, honesty, sincerity, cooperation, and integrity are traits of character which can be checked as above average for most of the young women and young men enrolled in the student body. I he moni torial system of student participation in the administration of the high school has been the “seed bed for this citizenship training. Hie monitorial body is made up of elected representatives from each homeroom. The Monitorial Council is the Executive organization for the bodv of monitors. It is the responsibility of these two groups to lead the students in a program of good citizenship. Their duties extend to all school activities other than in the classroom.

For just that many years, The Spinner has been portraying This is the Way to a happy and worthwhile school life. “The Wav has now become tradition— wholeheartedly supported by the student body and consistently cherished by all Alumni. As evidence of this each year ' s sale of yearbooks has increased. In 1957 eleven hundred copies will be published. You will see here scenes from the classroom where high aca- demic achievements are being made; scenes from the classroom o showing the vocational preparation for life; scenes from the school showing the cultural development of the individuals; athletic activities dedicated to both the physical and spiritual development; and extra-curricular activities designed for the building of character and good citizenship.

THE KEY CLUB The Key Club was organized at Ashley Senior High in 1955. It is sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club. Mem- bership in the club is selective and it is based upon Leadership, Scholarship, and Character. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Key Club members define “This is the Way’’ as follows: 1. We promote the adoption and the application ol higher standards in scholarship, sportsmanship and social standards. 2. We strive to develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizen- ship. 3.

I he Varsity Team was made up of nine new players. Four of these will play for Ashley in 1957. There was a supporting squad of sixty ; forty-eight of these will play next year. There was only one loss due to injury during the football season; no player was disqualified because of his academic standing. The Green Wave had a tough schedule from the first game to the last, but the team ended with a .500 record. Ashlev scored 129 points to our opponents 167. John Campbell scored 60 points during the season, entitling him to play on the Western All-Star Team.

There were three Senior players on the 1957 team. Two varsity players and sixteen squad members will form the nucleus for strong 1958 and 1959 teams. Gastonia definitely expects to win the State Championship in 1959. The squad players proved to be very promising— their perform ance in this year’s games was brilliant. The Sophomore players were the best that Ashley Senior High has had since the years of Kelton, Hoffman, and Lindsay. The Green Wave was defeated twice only by Salisbury and Greens boro, the two top ranking teams. In no game did Gastonia fail to give the opposition a tull dose of competition. 1 hey merited the confi dence which followed them through the last game. The margin of losing points for the season just averaged four points per game. Hre Green Wave defeated their traditional rival, Charlotte Central, in both conference games. Jimmy Summey, forward, was voted an all-Conference player. Summey and Del- linger were high scorers for the season. This is the Way to become state champions in 1959.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was started by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. It is promoted by the National Education Association. It is the largest group of its kind in the entire world. The greatest honor which can come to a high school student is to be elected to membership in the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society was started to stimulate scholar- ship in the secondary schools of the country, and to endeavor to place secondary education on higher levels. It was decided from the beginning to recognize character, service, leadership, and scholarship in the students of the high schools, and in so doing to stimulate all members of the high school to trv to at- tain those attributes and those elements of high standing.
