Victory Flag Given By Jr. Exchange Boys Junior Exchange Club members spent the 1965- 66 school year constantly trying to improve the school spirit at Smith High School. Money raising projects for the year included selling programs at home football games, and selling SHS sweatshirts. These sweatshirts are dark green with a golden eagle in fighting posi¬ tion. Other projects have included providing a victory flag and the flag pole, painting a golden eagle on the gym floor, and distributing sports schedules to students. Future plans include erect¬ ing a baseball scoreboard. Mr. Robert L. Leeds is advisor to this, one of Smith ' s most active clubs. Gary Black, Tommy McKeithan, Bobby Johnson and Bobby Roach admire the Golden Eagle painted on gym floor, one of their main projects of the year.

School Directory A Welcome Addition When we wanted to find an address or a tele¬ phone number, we all appreciated the elegant school directory. It made life a lot easier for each of us. We also felt we had a boost for school spirit when the club presented us with our first Victory Bell, mounted on a small wagon, it was wheeled out when Smith came out on top in athle¬ tics. As a money-making project, the Key Club sold SHS decals to carry on with plans for another gift to the school. Other plans included a car washing day, the day after a heavy rain. Key Club officers, I. to r.: Craig Newman, Sgt.-at-Arms; Rick Coffin, Sec ' y; James Wiggs, Pres.; Gary Wyrick, V. Pres.. Here the officers admire the first Victory Bell. 132

Linda Bland Places First In Speech Contest Under the dynamic direction of Mr. Dick Wal- thal, the VICA Club had an active and successful year. Members enjoyed dinner meetings, a bowl¬ ing party, and the annual Employee-Employer banquet in May. As a community service, they gave a Christmas party for patients in a local convalescent home. Last spring Kathy Beck won first place in the state in a job interview contest, and this year Linda Bland won the speech contest at the district conventions. The club ended the year at the State Conven¬ tion in Wilmington. VICA Club, first row, I. to r.: Linda Williams, V.
