A school is more than just a building; it is a spirit, a spirit created by the students, faculty, and community. Charles B. Aycock High School is a great school. For four years the area has be- lieved in this greatness. Accredi- tation by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges was a material recognition of this fact. Much work was required to re- ceive the accreditation; this work was not spur-of-the-moment work; it began before the construction of the physical plant of Aycock in the minds of officials who were planning the school. They knew this would be the school of Wayne County. Aycock ' s success spurred the county ' s second consolidated school of the southern county. Activities 80 Students 98 Advertising 140
