Bandys was a self-contained com- munity that mirrored the mood of America. Our prevailing attitude toward the bicentennial matched the nation's — in- different; stimulated by foot- ball games and parades, but usually lost in the hassles of day-to-day living. At right The Pep club organized sock 'em” day before the Maid en football game. These girls show their socks.

We still continued our sports, dubs, and dances. % At right Sherry Issac dresses as a baby for VICA initiation.

We felt the Spirit of togetherness simitar to that felt by our brave forefathers of America 1776. However, we united not intending to revolt, but rather to enjoy life. Theme 7 The realities of the outer world were still present. Al- though united we still felt separate and distinct from our friends. We conditioned ourselves to cope with this world by living, losing, and succeeding in the inner world of Bandys. Life here served as a stepping stone from childhood to adulthood. We marched toward a bet- ter life for our- selves and for America. Theme 9 In 1972 Mr. Levonde A. Walker first came to Bandys High School. At that time the class of '76 were freshmen. When seniors picked on us we sought refuge in his room. There we always found friendship, understanding, and sanctuary. One day a wise guy made a sign that said, King Walker . Instead of getting mad he just put it on his desk and announced, I Am the King. News of this king wafted throughout the school. The question was asked, Just who is that crazy dude down there, anyway? But when we got to know him better we came to appreciate him for the man he is, not only a teacher, but also a friend. He dances with everyone, laughs at funny jokes, listens to dating problems, and eats lunch outside the lunchroom. Mr. Walker is our friend because he re- lates to as many students as possible, both in and out of class. His interest in students has caused him to be a staunch supporter of the Student Relations Com- mittee, of which he is advisor. He cares about stu- dents and tries to further their education whether it be in his English classroom, at a sporting event, a dance, or a special show presented by a school club. In gratitude to his involvement and concern this senior class dedicates the 1976 TROJAN to Mr. Le- vonde A. Walker.

Miss Lockman later commented on the production of the play, At first we thought it would be easy, and then after we got into it, it was more and more work. There were things we hadn't thought of before. They (the students) worked real hard. According to Miss Lockman and several of the actors the plot went like this: Mrs. Hanna Hoople of Pottsville, Pennsylvania owned a castle that was managed by Baroness Frankenstein. The Baroness had her monster friends living in the castle. One week Mrs. Hoople came to visit her castle and was terrified by the creatures inside. After many exciting adventures she eventually married the Wolfman and went to Paris on her honeymoon. Patton, Singers, Bananas and Billy Jock in 2 Hours Anytime 20 teenagers get together to create a show, some wild and silly ideas will emerge. The entertaining combination of these two factors is what the Beta Club sought in producing the Spring Festival. The 1975 Spring Festival was just the second public extravaganza ever to be staged in the new multi-purpose room. The new stage helped make the show an easier one to present. The Beta Club sponsors, creates, produces, directs, and performs in this annual show. This year the Spring Festival featured Friday Night at the Movies , satirizing Billy Jack ( Billy Jock with athlete's foot), The Towering Inferno (a hot bedroom scene), Patton (Patton discovers he has an all female troop), and television advertising (advertising the versatile banana). However, satire wasn't everything. Beta Club members who had both the necessary talent and intestinal fortitude sang and played the piano. The Beta Club has too few people to provide continu- ous entertainment, so Mr. Sam Harbinson and his Mid- night Moods played their own arrangement of hit songs to enliven the slow spots. Opposite page, left Bananas were commercialized as soft drinks and cigarettes. Max Dulin shows the effects of another banana product, banana wine.

Spring Festival 17 Miss Donna Baker Crowned Homecoming Queen The first rainy spell in a month came the week before Homecoming. Nights were damp and chilly and all worried about whether the weather would permit the game, court, and dance. The weather cleared by Friday. When the sun set and the lights were lit, the wind whispered with windbreaker comfort. The moon shone above cloudless skies. The stands were filled with excited fans. Halftime arrived and with it came the ladies. Class attendants and the sponsored court marched anxiously to their positions. The crowd waited tensely as 2nd runner-up Susan Bryson and 1st runner-up Beverly McGee were an- nounced. After a drum roll the speaker blared, The 1975 Bandys High School Homecoming Queen is. ..

Homecoming 19 As The Dance Began, The Football Defeat Was Forgotten Maybe it was the brass and strings band. Maybe it was the surprisingly agreeable weather. Maybe it was because this was the first dance of the year. Anyway, the dance floor was packed with excited students and graduates in spite of an earlier 20-12 loss to Lincolnton by our football team. The band, “Earth Child, played only one slow song, but there were enough people dancing that closeness was unavoidable. Some listened to the band and watched everyone else, but most got out on the floor and danced. Above right Lisa Ballard gets into a song played by Earth Child. At right Gerald Flowers and Margaret Reid get down and boogie. Opposite page Denise Wither- spoon and Julie Roberts get to- gether and bump during this fast number. 20 Homecoming Homecoming 21 Christmas Dance — Three Hours of Music: Fast and Loud When the doors opened, there was a large crowd waiting to enter. Maybe they were anxious because it was so cold outside. They didn't seem too anxious to dance because no one danced the first several numbers. Slowly, a few brave individuals ventured onto the dance floor, and in front of all the sitters, boogied. Then a mob joined them, and the floor remained crowded the rest of the night. During the band's first break, the court was announced. There was one representative from each grade, nine through eleven; one from each of the senior homerooms; and one elected by the French club, sponsors of this dance. We had a local band, most of the members being Bandys' graduates. They had extensive equipment with many speakers that produced a tremendous sound. Tre- mendous, yes! Great to dance to, but also the ultimate in volume. Conversations varied in the gym, but eventually they all mentioned that you couldn't really hear each other because the music was so loud. 22 Christmas Dance Opposite page, top Paulette Ferrell, 1975 Christmas Queen.

Christmas Dance 23 Prom Nears, Juniors Worry- Will We Have a Band? The preparation was over. All the money had been spent on tuxedos, orchids, and long dresses. The juniors' time had been spent on decorating the gym and its lobby. As always, any time an entire class, or rather the working half of it, gets together to work on a project, disagree- ments will arise. This year those disagreements were held to a minimum and the work was done well and quickly. And finally after all the money, work, and arguments the 1975 junior-senior prom was prepared and waiting. Then came the shocking news that the contracted band could not come and was reportedly sending an inferior substi- tute. At 8:00 the doors opened and excited upperclassmen entered into the Serenade of the Sea. The blue and green streamers, the paper fish, and the painted props of the sea helped bring about the mood of the evening. The seniors sat at the tables as they watched the crowning of the king and queen, and the short, but timely, sophomore skits. But most of the night they battled the heat and danced to Faded Blue, the substitute band. The band had good harmony and a strong beat which squelched the rumor that they were an inferior group. 24 Junior-Senior Prom Top far left Kim Fox of the Sophomore Entertainment Committee serves refreshments.

Junior-Senior Prom 25 Awards Day Prepares Students For Graduation On May 30, 1975, our annual Awards Day was held during the last three periods of the school day. It was at this time that outstanding scholars and athletes were presented with awards for their achievements of the past year. For the first time, seniors wore caps and gowns to the assembly. The 1975 seniors graduated on June 5th. It was their day and as Mr. Carter, the principal, recognized their graduation from high school, all the seniors turned their tassles, syi ;bolizing that event.

HIGH SOFTBALL Most Valuable Player Amanda Burke Ever Wonder What The Principal Thinks? Here are some highlights of an interview with the head man at Bandys, Principal William E. Carter. Mr. Carter, do you think that students who aver- age below 70 in a subject should be retained next year in that subject? “Yes, if he's unable to do the work for one year, then he will not be able to do the next year's work. You know that each year's work is harder than the year before's. There's no use just passing him to get him out of the way. The Bandys student body was comprised mostly of the ninth through twelfth grades who had their elementary education at either Balls Creek or Sherrills Ford, and the seventh and eighth grades from Balls Creek. The seventh and eighth grades are moving to the new Charles Tuttle Middle Grades School for the 1976-1977 school year. That move will vacate 10 rooms in the old wing here at Bandys. Mr. Carter, what will be done with those rooms? We are going to try to centrally locate classes so all classes of a department — such as math or history — will be in the same area. That way the teachers may be able to trade teaching materials easier. Mr. Carter also stated that subjects which do not now have proper classrooms will be moved into these rooms. Mr. Carter, what changes do you foresee in aca- demics? We're toying with study halls. We would like to have six subjects and maybe put two or three people in each academic class. This would be their study hall, and they could study while the rest of the people had class. Now about discipline. Mr. Carter, suppose that I'm here in the office because I've broken a rule. What will happen to me? If you're in the office, you're more than likely guilty, because someone has told on you, or you've been caught in the act. We're democratic about the discipline. We give the student his choice: He can either write, take licks, or take suspension. It's his choice. 30 Administration Opposite page, left Mr. Carter attended the mock wedding staged by the Family Living class. Later he kisses bridesmaid Paulette Ferrell in the reception I file.

Two for the Price of One We have had an aide or two for several years. They were all formerly paid by the county, so we never had more than just a few. The federal government gave us money this year to hire aides, as part of a program to relieve nationwide unemployment. It's a temporary program de- signed to last through June. Most teachers agreed that they enjoyed having someone to help grade papers, clean the room, and type. Mrs. Isenhower, our librarian who had an aide, lost her, then gained another aide, commented while she was without an aide, I really miss my aide. I'm having to run—really run—all around. One teacher analyzed the hiring of aides this way, It's cheaper on the school system to hire aides than to hire teachers. They can get at least two aides for the price of one teacher. The Students in Action for Education is a club designed to help teachers. Most of the school's tutors were members of this club. For the first time these people received an hour's credit for their services. 32 Teachers' Aides, Tutors Far left, bottom SAE member Betty Lutz helps Alton Rudisell with his general math.

The club sponsored the Homecoming dance and was in charge of all details of Homecoming night. Homecoming used to be the only Key club activity. According to Club Sponsor Mr. Charles Scott, In the past the Key club never did anything after Homecoming. It was just dead. But this year the club scheduled a day when county officials came to Bandys and registered all students eligible to vote in the 1976 Presidential election.

There were 25 students who qualified for entrance into the club. They had a 93 or above grade-average and outstanding character, achievement, and leadership. They produced the highly successful and popular Spring Festival. Some mem- bers also attended the state convention at Asheville last spring. Aside from its usual activities, the club took on added responsibility by sponsoring the election of Mr. and Miss Bandys, relieving the already overburdened annual staff from this duty. Mr. and Miss Bandys were elected students with an 86 or above grade average. They represented the school at the Mooresville Christmas Parade and were in the court at the Spring Festival. Mr. and Miss Bandys 37 Matching Ability With Work According to an English department self evaluation, English is the study of the process of communication through verbal and non verbal symbols. The curriculum provided study in language, literature, composition, and mass media as they related to an understanding of the process of communication. The department tried to have every student working within his own ability group with materials for them. Each grade was divided into three levels—college-bound, techni- cal, and remedial—which allowed students to be assigned in accordance with ability and future plans. 38 English At left Debaters, left to right.

English 39 Mass Media Professionals Enlighten English Students A variety of guest speakers, all professionals in mass communications, helped students gain true insight in va- rious English-oriented professions. Professional editorial cartoonist Keith Wood spoke to English classes about his techniques for deriving and draw- ing cartoons. John Beach, editor of the Newton Observer-News- Enterprise, briefly explained layout plans used in the Charlotte, Hickory, and Newton newspapers. He spent most of his time in class explaining his position on local political issues and women's lib. Mrs. Jean McCamy, who has published a book of poems, visited for one week. She emphasized, I came to Bandys to help students understand, appreciate, and write poetry. Above John Beach shows the editorial page layout of his paper.

Optimist Club Oratorical Contest 41 Students Learn Formal French Our French classes suffered from large pupil enroll- ment, but not as much as classes of the previous years. The new language lab earphones were used properly because of the decrease in class size. Even though class sizes were reduced, they were not small enough. In fact, according to French instructor Mrs. Kaye McConnell, we needed smaller classes with ten to fifteen students 'To put them in small groups and really get the conversation part across. French students learned formal French grammar. Of course the French people do not speak formal language, just as Americans do not. Mrs. McConnell described one of her students as he would be if he went to France: He would seem very stilted, very formal, but with this basis of the formal background he would easily pick up the popu- lar slang. French students who averaged at least 85 in their first six weeks of the course were invited to join the French club. This group sponsored the Christmas Dance and its pageantry.

Along with the regular study of science came actual student partici- pation through experi- ments. Chemistry teacher Mr. Everett Caldwell ex- plained by saying, I let the kids do their own work. That way they are prepared for college when they must do the work themselves. Opposite page, bottom left Mr. John Caldwell's biology class studied and performed dissec- tion.

That increase limited the miles the Science Club could afford to register on the activity bus. Each club using the bus had to pay a certain per-mile fee, plus the cost of gasoline. Sci- ence club members did visit some local places of scientific interest, and they visited Clemson University for an En- gineering Fair. Clemson officials provided over sixty dol- lars in expense money. The club also journeyed to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to view the United States Atomic Ener- gy Research Laboratory. Most of the time students had to go somewhere else to see science expositions, but there was one instance in which the show came here — Bob Brown's Science Circus. His show was presented to students willing to pay the quarter admittance fee. Science 47 Math Department is Shuffled, Reaction — Generally Favorable Math studies were reassigned so that every teacher would be responsible for teaching both remedial and high- er mathematics. This resulted in Mrs. Rita McDaniel teach- ing geometry for the first time. She said that although she was experiencing some difficulties she still enjoyed teach- ing a more advanced group. All math classes seemed to be geared toward prep- aration for the outside world whether it be by general or advanced math.

As expected, the bicen- tennial did influence social studies. Mr. Bob Kilby, his- tory instructor, contended that although the media emphasized the bicenten- nial, student interest in his- tory increased only “a little bit. History instructor Mr. Charles Scott cautioned about underrating student interest. Students' needs are the most important thing, he said. We taught to meet students' needs.

The show traced dancing from its early stages up through the present. Health teachers always have problems, like teaching sex education, but some teachers have it worse than others. Mr. Richard Foster had to conduct class in the gym, and Mrs. Clark had to change rooms three times a day to teach all her health students. Fine Arts Program Headed by Band Sixty percent of the 1974-1975 band graduated, which left this year's group very inexperienced. Band and chorus director Mr. Sam Harbinson was surprised at the talent the band showed during their first area parade. He reflected, I felt like it would have to be a year of preparation, but these kids seemed to make up for their lack of experi- ence with the enthusiasm they had.'' Besides marching in sev- eral other parades the band performed at all football games. Before football sea- son started, Mr. Harbinson had his doubts about the band performing on a foot- ball field due to the inex- perience and youthfulness of the band members. After several games the only prob- lem the band seemed to have was matching their timing with that of the football team. At home football games the band was supposed to form a T and play a victory song as the football team ran onto the field. All too often the team wouldn't enter until the band had exited. 54 Band Above Color guard member Terri Bolick carries her flag with the pole one thumb-length in front of her forehead.

Band 55 Fine Arts Instruction Available for All Grades Chorus was a class and organization simultaneously. All members of the chorus were required to sing at outside activities in order to remain members. In fact this was the main criterium for chorus members along with maintaining a good attitude. As Mr. Harbinson stated, I told all my kids, band and chorus, that if they were there on time and participated they were going to make an A. It is how hard they try - not necessarily their talent ' The seventh and eighth grade music classes were held during regular class time. A highlight for the students came when they dressed as teens from the 1920's through the 1960's. They danced and listened to music of the times. Art rounded out the Fine Arts program. Instructor Mrs. McDaniel stressed not only drawing, but also other crafts associated with art. They tried their hand at string art, corn shuck dolls, decoupage, etc. Above Cindy Parker attaches the burlap background to her string art. Above right Donna Loadholdt sketches a scene.

Librarian Mrs. Rebecca Isenhower confessed that she really didn't like to send students out of the library, but limited space did not allow an unlimited number of students and troublemakers. She further stated, Most kids didn't realize it, but the teachers and I graded every student in the school both on their ability to use the library and their use of it. This grade is recorded on their permanent records. This year a new system for student librarians was instituted, much to Mrs. Isenhower's pleasure. Li- brarians were required to have above average grades to be received into the club. Also, a student librarian was graded according to perfor- mance and was given one hour of credit toward grad- uation. 58 Library Opposite page, top Becky Morris reads while Ricky Scronce studies.

Sigmon and Mrs. Caro- lyn Thornton tried to show students both sides of their questions and to let them make their own decisions. They wanted to give people an opportunity to do what they wanted to do without letting them become discouraged. They didn't say, You can't do this, or You can't do that. Instead, they tried to help solve students' problems they couldn't otherwise solve by themselves. One problem that many students faced, especially those who were college bound, was indecision. Which college should I attend, and What employment should I seek, were questions asked by many seniors. Mr. Sigmon be- lieved that it was better to take a while in order to make the best decision possible. The guidance counselors also helped steer students toward extra-curricular activities during the year. They helped in the choosing of two representatives of Bandys who attended Boys' State at Wake Forest University and two more who attended the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans held in Washington, D. C. They also helped students apply for college admissions and financial aid. Two young men were selected as nominees for the John Motley Morehead Scholarships given by the Universi- ty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Both guidance counselors agreed that the only way to decide something is to try it, and if that doesn't work, to try something else. After all, as Mrs. Thornton said, You never know what you can do.

Several Weaknesses Hinder Business Study Business classes familiarized students with business practices. Instructor Mrs. Clare Miller explained, Basi- cally, I taught them to go out into the business world. However, business courses were not entirely vocational. Typing and shorthand are useful to college bound students as well. According to Mrs. Miller and to fellow business instruc- tor Mrs. Barbara Laney, the business department suffered from a lack of necessary equipment. Also, there were not enough courses offered, and those that were offered weren't in the correct sequence. Still, the teachers did their best with the students and facilities available. Business students interested in becoming secretaries joined the Future Secretaries' Association. The FSA organ- ized a Womanless Beauty Pageant that drew a full house and fattened the club's treasury. Above Future Secretaries' Association, left to right. Row 1: Paulette Ferrell. Celia Drum.

Future Secretaries' Association 63 Ag Stresses Leadership Mr. R. C. Hampton had only been here for two school years, but he was already trying to establish a successful agriculture program. What did he consider to be a success- ful program? He said that all his courses and all the contests his boys entered were designed to teach them to be leaders. The contests included soil and tool judging, as well as parliamentary procedure. “The United States can produce more food than we can throw away, give away, eat, or sell. What we lack is good, strong leadership ... Contests are made to find the best man. If one of my boys wins a contest, then he KNOWS that he's best. That gives him confidence. He continued, It will be six or eight years before I get the program very strong here. He explained that boys currently in agriculture need to have older students as examples, because some students who didn't do so well in their academics have made excellent leaders. 64 Vocational Agriculture Opposite page, left Perry Har- well cuts a 2 X 4 with the cut- off saw.

But, believe it or not, there was a crew of boys who took Home Economics without actually realizing it. Family Living was part of the Home Economics curriculum, and guys have been in Fami- ly Living for years. Home Economics Instructor Mrs. Linda Spencer stated, I tried to knowledge related to home Family Living how to deal things around home. Mrs. Spencer explained problems in her depart- ment. She mentioned the high cost of material ( We had a limited budget. Food was so expensive that the girls had to bring a lot from home. ) and the small membership in the Future Homemakers of America.

Mr. Make Honeycutt, Industrial Cooperative Training Coordi- nator, stressed, You'd be surprised, jobs were very numer- ous. We placed 22 out of 34 students on good jobs.” Mr. Honeycutt explained his subject: (ICT) taught all aspects of living-getting a job, holding a job, social securi- ty ... making a living, loans... It stressed the ability to get along on the job. He urged each of his ICT students to join the Vocation- al Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). Some of the kids had never been to a restaurant to eat before. They had been to a hamburger joint, but they had never really been out to eat a full meal. The club did a lot together, including going out to restaurants. He said that this was just another way of helping them to be socially acceptable. 68 Industrial Cooperative Training (ICT) Top far left Margie Josey and Juanita Sigmon sew gloves at Carolina Glove.

This course is for people who know something about carpentry, and it results in the title of journeyman carpenter. After com- pleting the senior year Carpentry class, students are ready for CVTI's course. Construction Industry was, as Instructor Mr. Astor Propst stated, a feeder class for Carpentry. Cl was divided into six week courses ranging from brick laying to blueprint drawing. The best and the most interested stu- dents went on to Carpentry. Asked why the Carpentry club was necessary, Mr. Propst explained that no material was furnished for his department. So they operated on profits from the boys' projects, which have included barn building and gun cabi- net making. Only boys (or now, girls) who took Carpentry were in the club, and the organization gave them the system to allocate their profits. Carpentry 71 Above Doug Keever checks under the hood.

In the first year course they learned the basics, starting with funda- mental principles of the gasoline engine. The second year course included actual mechanic practice and did not in- clude much bookwork, except when very complicated procedures required more study. Our school had neither the space nor facilities to graduate fully qualified mechan- ics, but the course did whet the students' appetites for the auto repair business. If they liked it, they had an oppor- tunity to go on to a technical school and really learn the trade. If they didn't like it, at least they learned so through actual experience. Auto Mechanics 73 Pre-Vocation is not the Place for Trouble Makers Pre-Vocational Education has been renamed several times in the last several years. This year changes were made in that the course emphasized placement—getting the right people in the class instead of those who were (just) discip- line problems or people who shouldn't really have been placed in a special class. This was a special type of course for a special type of student. And most of these students were preparing for work as soon as they got out of high school. Instructor Mr. Randy Faucette said, I feel like we've had a lot of success because we placed them on the job a lot of times before graduation. Mr. Faucette continued, We were still academically oriented in that I taught ba- sic subjects — English, math — anything ... I felt would help as far as. . . getting a job. 74 Pre-Vocational Education Opposite page, top Jerry Clark practices basic mathematical compu tation.

The rough opening schedule added to problems. The players agreed that their play was erratic and inconsistent; that they only seemed to play well enough to give each opponent a good game. They did come of age late in the season — just in time to salvage pride and to jell into a competitive football team that racked up a 3-6-1 record. The Trojans usually compiled equal or more yardage and first downs than the teams that defeated them. Yet, the points on the board would be in the opponent's favor because our long drives had faltered at or near the goal line. Above Rick Wentz tackles Maiden back Jamie Pope for a loss.

Undefeated at Mid-Season Surprising no one, the Trojans lived up to all pre-season expectations by racking up a 10-0 mid-season record. They were picked to win the conference because of four return- ing starters off of last year's district championship team. Curtis Odom and James McCleave, averaging 23 and 22 points per game, are the two top scorers in the conference. They opened their season with a 82-57 victory over St. Stephens. Next, they overcame a nine point half-time deficit to defeat Bunker Hill 90-74. A 72-64 win over Granite Falls was the closest margin of victory. They defeated Maiden in a game that was never close. Then, the Trojans met and defeated previously unbeaten Fred T. Foard 100-74. They defeated Gamewell easily, and strug- gled by Newton-Conover. This was followed by a 72-59 win over Lincolnton, the only remaining undefeated team in the conference. Strong victories over East and West Lincoln left the Trojans in sole possession of first place. They are in good position for post-season tournaments and have a good chance to return to the state play-offs. 88 Varsity Boys' Basketball Opposite page, left Greg Cox goes up between several defenders for two points.

Varsity Boys' Basketball 91 Girls Looking Strong At mid-season, the Lady Trojans had compiled a 9-1 record, second in the conference only to defending state champs, Fred T. Foard. The team was coming on stronger and stronger and had the potential of winning both confer- ence and district tournaments. In their season opener at St. Stephens, they posted a 60-30 win. Next, they slipped by the tough Bunker Hill team. Then they defeated Granite Falls 53-26, and Maiden 71-40, but lost 62 60 at Fred T. Foard on a last second shot. They bounced back from the heart-breaking defeat run- ning off five consecutive wins. Gamewell, Newton-Con- over, and Lincolnton were defeated by one-sided scores. Then they drove home a 51-42 victory at East Lincoln, the first time Bandys had defeated East at East in over five years. A victory over West Lincoln, by a convincing 97-40 score, rounded out their mid-season record. 92 Girls' Varsity Basketball Opposite page, left The Trojans opened their season with a scrim- mage game against West Iredell.

People fail to realize that we are individuals working together to do a job. Susan Bryson added, I feel like cheerleaders are a vital part of the school, because they are needed to promote school spirit. We are not up in front of the crowd to show off, but to lead the cheers for the rest of the fans. Kim Murray stated, ... (We) keep sports alive and the crowd alert when the team is feeling low. According to Gladys Ramseur, It is our job to cheer for the athletes and even tell a lie every now and then to make them feel good. It's our job to build their ego. We try to do our best, but until the student body and teams realize they are just as much a part of SPIRIT as we are, we'll never achieve school spirit. . . Throughout the year I loved it, bad times and all. When we win the thrill is unsurpassed, and I am proud to say, 'I am a Bandys High School cheerleader.'

Varsity Cheerleaders 97 Trojans Win Division, Finish Second in Conference The Southern District Seven saw a change in their alignment due to the addi- tion of Newton-Conover and Lincolnton to the con- ference. The teams were divided into two divisions, with Bandys belonging to the Southern Division. The Trojans captured their divi- sion with a 7-1 record. In the playoff game for the conference championship, they lost a TO ten inning decision to St. Stephens, Northern Division cham- pions. This was Mr. Charles Scott's first year as head coach. After the conference defeat he commented, We did as well as the people in the community expected. The team probably ex- pected to do a little bit bet- ter than what they did, but they came in first place in our division, and I don't think you can do any better than that. 98 Varsity Baseball Opposite page, top Baseball team, left to right.

Last year those guys had to run against the top three teams in the region ... every week. It got to where I could hardly get up the guts to ask them to practice. Coach Walker said this after the conclusion of last year's season. However, in spite of the odds against them. Coaches Foster and Walker built an unrelenting track team. In fact the team started training in February although the season didn't start until April. This extra preparation was evident in competition. Although usually finishing second or third, the team never quit and some of the members on our team were among the best in the con- ference. David Lowman led all trackers in points scored this year. He tallied 55% points while running in the 100, the 440, and the 880 relay. Terry Berry earned 50 points mainly in the broad and triple jumps, and he also ran the 100 and the 880 relay. Max Dulin finished second in the first two mile run, but he won every subsequent two mile, including the- conference, finally losing in the district competition in Charlotte. At left Jeff Hoyle takes his last leap in the triple jump. Top middle left Tyrone Kennedy came on strong during the last half of the season.

Newly-Organized Team Finishes Second In order to comply with state rules governing schools in the 3-A division, girls' volleyball was added to our athletic program. Our team's major obstacle seemed to be rules more than the opposition. Competitive volleyball, they found, was entirely different from that played in physical education classes. One's hands must be clenched together when hit- ting the ball except on spikes at the net where it was permissible to use open fingertips. Fred T. Foard went undefeated in the regular season and were champions followed by Bandys with a 7-1 rec- ord. In the double elimination conference tournament, after losing their first game, our team fought back, de- feated arch-rival Fred T. Foard in a thrilling three game match, and eventually lost in the finals to a rested Newton- Conover team. Volleyball 103 Below Junior high softball team, left to right.

Girl's Softball Program Re-established Bandys girls' softball program was reorganized last year. It was played at both the varsity and junior high school levels. The varsity team was coached by Mrs. Marilyn Clark. They compiled a 6-7 overall record for the year. After the season Mrs. Clark commented, I think the team did rather well considering it was our first season in several years. We didn't get to have much practice early in the season and this hurt us in the first few games. But overall. I'm quite satisfied with the team and am looking forward to next year's season. The junior high girls had an extremely good season as they posted a 7-3 record under the supervision of Miss Billie Jo Harkey. The team had few superstars and de- pended on determination and perseverance to win games. 104 Junior High Softball Below Varsity softball team, left to right.

Varsity Softball 105 It's What You Know That Counts This was our very first wrestling season, and, by mid- January 1976, the team still hadn't won any matches. Coach William Crawford wasn't disappointed because, as he stated, That's typical of a first-year team. They just don't know enough yet, and it's what you know that counts. Here is a short summary of the ways a wrestler can score. A take-down earns two points. If the man is on the bottom and he escapes, then he earns one point; if he can escape and get the opponent down, he earns two points. If he can hold both of the opponent's shoulders on the mat for a count of three, then he has a pin and earns six points. If he can hold one of the opponent's shoulders on the mat, but the other one is in the air, then he earns either two or three points, depending on how close that other shoulder is to the mat.

The girls were familiar with their routines before school started. Sponsor Miss Judy Lockman explained the sum- mer training her girls received, The girls didn't go to camp. We couldn't ask their parents to spend the extra money. They had already bought the girls' uniforms and camp would have cost 50 or 60 dollars. Instead, the cheerleaders met once every two weeks during the sum- mer, and Miss Lockman, herself a former cheerleader, taught them their routines. During the season they placed spirit posters in the halls and enthusiastically led crowds at football and basketball games. Their presence was a contributing factor to the overall spirit that characterized jayvee games. At left Donna Keever shouts encouragement for the jayvee football team.

Teamwork and Two Platoon System Result in Successful Jayvee Season Coming off an outstanding 8-1 season in 1974, Bandys junior varsity football team had another fine year. The team, coached by Mr. Randy Burroughs and Mr. William Crawford, was led by sophomores Chris Campbell, Craig McClain, and Jerry Smith in the backfield and Davey Bumgarner, Roy Sigmon, and Marshall Sigmon on the line. Coach Burroughs continued his strategy of past years. His two platoon system, in which no player is on both the offensive and defensive squads, coupled with Mr. Craw- ford's defensive coaching, provided leadership on both offense and defense which seemed to get the best possible performance from the players all year long. As a result the team finished third in the conference, winning seven while losing only to champion Newton and runner-up St. Steph- ens. Jayvee Football 109 Total Team Effort At mid-season jayvee boys were in a four-way tie for first place, with an 8-2 record. They lost to Bunker Hill early in the season and then, according to Coach Randy Faucette, they gave the Lincolnton game away. He continued, We're looking forward to getting another crack at both of the teams that beat us, and we believe we can defeat them. Coach Faucette also stated, Our success came from total team effort, with everyone playing well together. He maintained that all members were contributing, and that players coming off the bench were doing an exceptional job. 110 Jayvee Boys' Basketball Opposite page, left Lee Drum extends fully on his jump to control a crucial tip in the Foard game.

His girls showed potential, but were inconsis- tent in their play through the first half of the season, opening with a narrow victory over St. Stephens, 36-34. They went on to win their next three games over Bunker Hill, Granite Falls, and Maiden by convincing scores. Fred T. Foard handed them their first loss, 67-40. Then they defeated Gamewell, 56-43, before losing to Newton, 40-31. At mid-season. Coach Kilby reflected, “We are coming around—playing the best we've played. We realize what it takes to beat good teams. I feel like we will beat the teams that defeated us when we play them again. 112 Jayvee Girls' Basketball Opposite page, top Guards Jewell Howard and Lisa Carroll execute their full-court press to perfection.

Jayvee Girls' Basketball 113 Owls Rally After Bad Start The Junior High team got off to a bad start due in part to people playing in the wrong positions. Also, a lot of seventh graders started, and their inexperience in game situations led to several crucial mistakes in early games. According to Coach Mike Lawing, After we got every- body in the right positions, we started playing pretty good. He continued, But, (it took) 'till the end of the year to get it all together. Even though this was a somewhat disappointing season, the team had several individuals who displayed potential for future years. On offense, Darrell Smith was superb as he averaged 126 yards per game rushing and scored 10 touchdowns. Eric Mc- Combs, Gary Jones, Shan- non Woodlief, and Jack Painter were standouts on defense as was Smith, who intercepted three passes and returned them all for touch- downs.

Coach Mike Lawing explained, We were a well-balanced team in a well-bal anced league. After a season-opening two victories, the junior high boys lost three close games in a row. Then they broke their drought with a 45-30 shellacking of Arndt, a team that had defeated them earlier in the year. Darrell Smith, Jack Painter, Eric Christenbury, Dale Gilleland, and Mark Shu- bert were all individual stand-outs. Above Scotty Laney shoots a jump shot.

Junior High Boys'Basketball 115 Very Young, But Talented With only two games remaining, the junior high girls were in first place. According to Coach Mike Lawing, “We are a young, aggressive team with three seventh graders starting and playing significant roles in our success. Led by Lisa Martin and Debbie Caudill, the team com- piled a 6-2 record. They beat Newton, Catawba, and Maid- en before losing a close 27-22 game to Arndt. After beat- ing Maiden again, they avenged the earlier loss to Arndt, with a 24-18 victory. Then they defeated Catawba, 16-13, followed by a loss to Newton. Coach Lawing said that he was confident of a victorious final two games, which would give them an outstanding season. Above Sylvia Clark (with ball) comes down with a rebound and is fouled.

This year was no exception. With 9 wins in the 1975 season, his baseball teams have won 33 of their last 34 games. Coach Burroughs was quoted as saying, Team play is one thing that I stress in baseball. Although we had two or three outstanding players it was definitely a team effort. The junior high team did little things that won the big games, like bunting, base stealing, and playing good de- fense. They made few men- tal mistakes, which was fingered by Coach Bur- roughs as one of the team's big pluses. The Owls did lose one game last year to Arndt Middle Grade School. But, as Coach Burroughs said, I believe we were a little bet- ter than everyone else in the league. Their 9-1 record verifies this statement. Simmons scores another run.

Junior High Cheerleaders 119 Senior Boys, Eighth Grade Girls Win Intramurals Basketball players cannot play in the basketball intra- murals, but all other students can. Each homeroom organi- zes a boys' and a girls' team to compete against the other homeroom teams in their division. Senior boys soundly defeated all boys en route to winning their championship. In the other championship game the eighth grade girls squeaked by the junior girls by a mere two points. But the fact that all who wanted to participate got this chance to do so was by far more important than who won the games. 120 Intramurals Above right LeRoy Allen shoots a jump-shot.

One day when Mrs. Winnie White wandered near the annual office to get our junk, she sighed, This is the sixth barrel of trash we've hauled out to- day. Those barrels were about as large as 55 gallon oil drums. That's a lot of trash, and this man-wife team had to sweep, mop, pick, vacuum, and scrape up that much each day. In the top picture are the custodians, Mrs. Winnie White and Mr. Coyte White. Wintertime bus driving is a chilling experience. As Driver Norma Sipe shuddered one fro- zen morning, I cranked my bus at 20 'till seven, and I left at 7:10. There was still ice on the hood when I arrived at school at eight o'clock. In the middle picture are the bus drivers, left to right. Row 1: Tammi Hoyle, Donna Hewitt, Teresa Goble, Norma Sipe, Gladys Ramseur.

Lunchroom ladies sum- marized their jobs, It's a lot of work. They cook for 950 hun- gry souls and clean up after them. The lunchroom ladies are in the bottom picture, left to right.

It's with all seriousness and appreciation that we honor Mr. Hilderbran for all the time and energy he spent working with the yearbook staff (which doubles as the Quack Society). For all his hard work and dedication, we are indebted. It is with great regret that we leave Bandys, and especially this man, who has meant so much to all of us. For all the times he asked us into the comfort of his home, to eat his wife's cakes and to drink his Cokes, we say a sincere THANK-YOU. It was a year of experience that we all profited from and will never forget. INDEX aaaaaaaaaaaa Abernathy, Linda Faye-69,140 Abernathy. Lori Ann-80,150 Abernathy.
