As advisor of the senior trip and director of the Drama Club, she has been a friend as well as a teacher. We wish to express our thanks for the devotion and respect that this person has shown us. For this and much more, we, the Senior class of 1963, respectfully and humbly dedicate this edition of the SPOTLIGHT to Miss Avis Dickens Guill ifl msm We Dedicate The 1963 Spotlight As we look back into the memories of this year, we see qualities of a person who has prepared us for the future. With warm under- standing and ever-waiting patience, she stands ready to help us at any time. She attended Converse College, South Carolina, and received her Bachelor of Science degree in English and drama. As she teaches English literature, the characters become living, breathing beings.

Ted Scales, the chief of the janitorial force, has been at Bessemer High for many, many years. Perhaps more than any one person he is considered part of the Bessemer environment. Ted has many various tasks in keeping our school comfortable for students, and attractive and presentable to the public. Ted arrives at school every morning at about 5:30 A.M. during the winter in order to stoke the furnace and have the buildings ready for the day's occupancy. And who can estimate the amount of effort needed in cleaning up after careless students? Yes, Ted's job is never finished, and it is his loyalty and devotion to duty that make him an integral part of our school! 12 I I Mrs. G. K. Jones, our dietician, is responsible for furnishing every student with a protein-packed, energy- filled lunch each and every day. Satisfying 1,000 hungry students is not an easy task, but Mrs. Jones has done an enviable job of keeping everyone happy. and . . . o That 3.05 Rush The Chatter of Assembly . . . and Mrs. Jones That Crowded Cafeteria . . . mmm |Ki The administration—our Guiding Light. The board of directors of any huge corporation is no more adept at handling its great concerns than our administrative staff is at operating our school. Also, our staff must work with people (or at least students! ). As you can tell by the sign in the picture, the administrators are not ashamed of the job they are doing, and they should not be. They have been the driving force behind the climb to prominence. Praised be the administration and lead us not into temptation. m •swt Principal Mr. R. A. Clendenin A. B. , APPALACHIAN STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE M. A., APPALACHIAN STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE L The goals set forth by your administration, faculty, and student council have endeavored to guide you into a way of life that will help you seek the best and to obtain the highest objec- tives of your life. Your future lies ahead of you; some of you will continue your education, while others will terminate it here. Bessemer High School is proud of you and shall always wish the best possible success to you as worthy citizens. In return, you owe Bessemer High School the support and the loyalty which a great j school deserves. If in any way the school may be of service to you in the future, please know her doors are always open. Mr. Clendenin is the one person most respon- sible for making our school what it is. His intense pride and desire to excel are two of the qualities which make him an outstanding administrator. Mr. Clendenin is a conservative, self-confident young man who has shown time and again his sincere interest in his students. His fine leadership and attitude have made him an ideal example of personal achievement. R. A. Clendenin was a member of the 1950 graduating class at Bessemer and then attended Appalachian State Teachers College where he received his A. B. and M.A. degrees. Interspersed with his education, he served his military obliga- tion in the United States Army. After completing his education, he returned to Bessemer as a teacher, assistant principal, and finally principal. As principal of Bessemer High School, Mr. Clendenin has been the embodiment of the perfect administrator. He is friendly, intel- ligent, a leader, and, above all, a fine man. 16 As Bessemer High School has grown and diversified, it has become increasingly necessary to up-date the method of administration. Previously the burden rested safely on the shoulders of the principal. This year, however, our executive staff was enlarged to facilitate the operation of our school. This enlargement encompassed an Assistant Principal, Dean of Girls, and Dean of Boys. Mr. E. M. Latta became the new Assistant Principal; Mrs. Naomi McCluskey, the Dean of Girls; and Mr. William H. Hunter, the Dean of Boys. It is often hard to establish definitely the functions of each office for it is certain that an administrator must be eager and willing to lend himself to any of the facets con- nected with an educational institution. Basically it is the Assistant Principal's task to represent the official viewpoint in student-administration relationships. The Dean of Girls, Mrs. McCluskey, is also our high school guidance counselor. It is her assignment to work closely with the female students on any problem, individual or collective, which might affect that group. Also, it is her duty to assist seniors in completing college transcripts and scholarship applications. The Dean of Boys works almost entirely with the male students. It is his authority to mete out any disciplinary action which might be necessary. It is practically impossible to estimate the value of these three officials, not only to the administration but to the student body as well. They do a tremendous job in giving Bessemer the enjoyable, scholarly atmosphere we have. For their efforts for, and loyalty to, Bessemer High School, we express our appreciation. MR. E. M.

To the 'Seniors' themselves it is an ending, but yet, more of a beginning. To the juniors 'Senoir' means the next and final stop on the voyage to graduation. To the sophomores it means simply two more years, and to the freshmen, it is seemingly a far-away goal. It is a long voyage to take, but a short one to see in retrospect. And there are always new passengers coming up—Our Classes.

After a year of experience, a sopho- more can really consider him- self a part of the high school group and, therefore, be entitled to all the privileges of that higher echelon. Included in those privileges is the dis- section of worms and frogs in biology, the mysteries of Mrs. King's Algebra II class, and the joyful hours spent with Julius Caesar. The hardships and drudgery of the freshman year become worthwhile when tempered with the excitement and discovery of the sopho- more. The sophomore year—a delightful kaleidoscope of fascinating activity, changing impressions, and pure-T fun. Left to right: Ann Bryant, Bobbie Cahill, Joan Batts, Danny Phillips.

The year you enter high school is indeed a memorable one. You enter into a new world —a world in which you already have a reputation for nefarious deeds. . .evenbefore you begin. The upperclassmen pick on you, but you do not really mind because now you realize that you are a part of something- something great—high school. Your attitudes and actions suddenly become important — because you make part of a high school. You give it its name, and a share of the responsibility is now on your shoulders to make it the best.

It operates under the approval of the school administra- tion and is given the privilege of setting up the majority of the school's rules and regulations. Every Council member is a representative of his homeroom and the officers are elected by the student body. Besides taking a share in the management of die school, die council promotes a better understanding between students and faculty. This year the council has tried to interest each stu- dent in the different school affairs. Along this same line, die council has attempted to prepare the students for intelligent participation in these school affairs. Its pri- mary goal is to furnish a tangible organization to repre- sent the students. In doing this the council hopes that it helped each student reach his maximum development. The Youth Recreation Council, a new organization was formed this year. It is under the supervision of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Council and the Student Council. The advisor for this newly formed infant service is Miss JoAnne Taylor, youth co-ordinator for Greensboro. She has been a valuable asset in the council's attempt to sponsor recreational entertainment for the enjoyment of Bessemer High School students. This council's goal is to supply the type of social entertainment the students demand. It also strives for a better understanding between the parents and the youth of the Bessemer community and hope by their services they are able to maintain the high standards of the youth of today for the youth of tomorrow.

Senior Staff The members on the annual staff from the senior class are re- sponsible for what they hope will be the best annual that Bessemer High has ever had. From the co- editors to the typists, all have given the best of themselves in order to have the very best annual possible. It took a lot of hard work and determination to make the dreams they set for the annual a reality. Although many had not had experience in this kind of work before, they tackled their jobs with the enthusiasm of the junior mem- bers. The seniors proved invaluable as the leaders, instructors, and the examples for their junior assistants. They feel that all their hard work has not been in vain. 64 Spotlight JUNIOR STAFF KAY BAIN............................. . .Assistant Editor DONALD MICHAUX...............Assistant Business Manager VADA FIDLER..............Assistant Advertising Manager ANNETTE BROADWELL........................Assistant Feature Editor CINDY McQUEEN.......................Assistant Class Editor LINDA SOCKWELL.......................Assistant Copy Editor ALLEN RHODES..........................Assistant Art Editor JEANNIE LAND.....................Assistant Sports Editor TERRI ELLINGTON, JANET APPLE, BECKY MITCHELL, SHARON BROWN, MISSY PARKER...........................Assistant Editorial Staff Left to right: Vada Fidler, Don Michaux, Kay Bain. Junior Staff The juniors on the annual staff this year are serving as apprentices, because if they prove themselves they will hold the job next year that they are assisting with this year. The juniors comprise a very industrious group and under the guidance and understanding of our very capable and patient advisor, Mrs. Bauserman, the juniors feel both eager and ready to step in the shoes of the seniors and their jobs next year.

Beta Club The purpose of the Beta Club is to promote scholarship, leadership, and good citizenship at Bessemer High School. The membership of this organization is made up of the students of the junior and senior classes because of their worthy character, good mentality, creditable achieve- ment, and commendable attitude. Besides en- deavoring at all times to be of service to the school and its students by upholding high stand- ards of honesty and good citizenship, the Beta Club undertakes worthwhile service projects. Their primary and most time-consuming service project is the publication of a school newspaper, the Whip-O-Will, each month. The club tries to include in this paper articles of interest to students, sports and other such infor- mation to keep the students well-tuned with the coming events. Each member co-operates with this project by contributing his service to the phase of newspaper work in which his ability lies. 66 New Members take oath.

Bessemer High School Chapter The Key Club is a youth club sponsored by the Greensboro Kiwanis. Scholarship and athletics are an integral part of the activities of the club, and several members are athletes or scholars or both; however, the Key Club is unique in that neither of the forementioned movements is the basis for the club. Service is the foundation of the Key Club. The Key Clubbers leam the meaning of service by working throughout the school and the community. Some of the leaders and potential leaders of the community are given an opportunity to develop their initiative and leadership ability in this way. The faculty-student directory is published yearly by these boys. The members also try each year to do something to improve the school, such as the building of new bleachers which was done by the club last year. Each year the William L. Burnett Award is presented to some outstanding member of the Bessemer Key Club for exceptional leadership or service. With the continued backing and assistance of high school principals such as has been received in the past, more and more Key Clubs will be organized; more youth will receive valuable training for future leadership and service, and the school and community will continue to benefit from the activities of the Key Club program.

The purpose of this club is to prepare the students of this school for various careers in the field of distri- bution. It strives to prepare its members to meet the public for socio-economic adjustment. This club is always promoting community-school-business relations through the work of its members. The D.E. Club en- courages its members to assume leadership and to always take the initial step forward. Perhaps the most significant goal of this club is to instill in each mem- ber the realization and importance of all work. Through the plan of distributive education, co- operative stores reap many benefits through the D.E. students. These stores make possible training for better and more economic services through its D. E. employees. Although this club is beneficial to both the public and the school, the student who participates in this program gains invaluable knowledge. He receives school credit for work experience while earning money. Developing both his personality and poise are just two of the many assets obtainable through this program. Each student leams to adapt to responsibility and the value and pleasure gained from doing the very best work he can possibly do. Mr. William H. Hunter, Jr. , the sponsor of this club, has done a most remarkable job and the members are both grateful and appreciative for his untiring efforts.

Bessemer—the top, the maximum, the Alpha and Omega. Number One all the way! Our teams start 'em and our teams finish 'em. From the initial gun to final whistle, Bessemer boys never fail to give of themselves. Because of the undying loyalty and desire of the players, Bessemer has never had a team that did not warrant all the support that the student body could muster. In the great tradition of Bessemer High athletics, here is our 1962-1963 sports program. Bessemer Athletic Director Assistant Football Coach Lacey Gane Mr. Lacey Gane is the very capable athletic director of Bessemer school. He received his B.S. degree from Elon College where he majored in physical education and played basketball and golf. He received his M. Ed. degree from the University of North Carolina. After teaching at McLeansville High School for two years, Mr. Gane came to Bessemer. In the ten years he has been here, he has served his school well. He also served his country by being in the Air Force for two and one half years. In the time Mr. Gane has been here, he has coached football, baseball, golf, girls' basketball and boys' bas- ketball. He has done a wonderful job coaching all of these sports, but boys' basketball is the sport where his coaching really shines. In nine years he has had 158 victories and only 51 losses. In these nine years Mr. Gane coached three championship teams. The other six were runners-up. Mr. Gane coaches only boys' basketball now, but this, along with being athletic director, keeps him very busy. He has really done a tremendous job in all of his duties. In addition to all of his other jobs, Mr. Gane teaches physical education and Algebra I. He is married and has five children. He has four sons and one daughter and one dog, Nickodemous. Mr. Rodney Steele graduated from Guilford College where he participated in football, basketball, and track. His last eight years have been devoted to teaching and coaching; he spent six years in Virginia where he did both. These last two years, he has served Bessemer High School well. This year's football season was most successful. The team was the Western 3-A District 5 champion and runner-up to the Western 3-A Champion- ship title. Because of these accomplishments, he was elected Coach of the Year by the coaches of the District 5 Conference. Head Football Coach Mr. Sam Morrow graduated from Catawba College where he majored in physical education and played four years of first-string football. He came to us from Rankin High School where he was head football coach. This year he coached the backfield in the football team; he also coached tumbling and track. In addition to his coaching duties, Mr. Morrow teaches the seventh grade. Coaching Staff Head Baseball Coach Mr. Jack Joyce graduated from Elon College where he majored in health and physical education. Before college he served in the Air Force for four years. All of his four years of teaching have been spent here at Bessemer in Junior High School. He is the defen- sive coach of our football team, but usually coaches more than just the defense. He helped us gain the Western 3-A District 5 championship. Besides football he also coaches baseball, and has done a tremendous job since he has been coaching here. The baseball team has either won or tied for the championship under his coaching these past four years. Mr. Joyce is married to the former Peggy Thomas; they have one daughter, Kelly Sue. Girls Basketball Coach Mr. Steve Wall graduated from our own Bessemer High School in 1958. From here he went on to Elon College where he majored in social studies and played four years of college baseball and one year of basketball. This is his first year of teaching. He has also helped coach junior varsity football and he has done a wonderful job coaching junior varsity basketball. Mr. Wall is single and has no plans for being otherwise. Mr. Edward McCurry is the junior varsity football coach and he also coaches junior high basketball. He graduated from Appalachian State Teachers College where he majored in social studies and physical education. In college he played intra- mural sports. He also served two years in the Navy. This is Mr. McCurry's second year at Bessemer. He has a senior homeroom and he teaches math and civics. Mr. McCurry is married and has two children — a son and a daughter. Miss Emily Ribet received her B.S. degree at Mary Washington College, the Women's Division of die University of Virginia. She received her M.A. at Woman's College, the University of North Carolina. A year and a half has gone by since Miss Ribet came to Bessemer. She has taught, during this time, girls' physi- cal education and geography; and has coached girls' basketball. These activities prove the time and effort Miss Ribet has devoted to Bessemer.

Sweet victory for Whippets. Bessemer and Reidsville scramble. Brevard entertains at halftime. ’62 Summary Right from the first kick-off it was apparent that the Bessemer High football squad had the horses to be a winner. In the first game of the season against East Davidson, the Whippets roared to five touchdowns, having three scoring thrusts erased because of minor infractions. Also in this first game Bessemer set a precedent for hard-nosed defense that was to continue throughout the year. Following the third game, a 6-6 tie with Sumner, Bessemer's record was a not- too-impressive, one win and two losses. But the Whippets had been very out- standing even in compiling this slate. In their next two outings, Bessemer scored impressive victories over Thomas- ville and Madison-Mayodan. In the Thomasville game the Whippets scored twice late in the second half for the final 19-0 tally. In downing Madison-Mayodan 6-0, Bessemer defeated one of the chief challengers for the Western 3-A con- ference title. Bessemer trounced its next three opponents in formidable displays of offensive and defensive prowess. In scoring a 13-6 victory over Morehead, the Whippets downed a perennial contender f_;r the conference championship. The Whippets then proceeded to romp over Southeast Guilford and Mt. Airy by somewhat lop- sided margins of 33-0 and 18-0 respectively. In their next contest the Whippets faced cross-town rival, Jamestown, in the Homecoming game. Jamestown rallied to score a field goal in the closing minutes to hand Bessemer its first defeat of the season. Next, Bessemer, needing a victory to clinch the Western 3-A conference crown, had to face a strong Reidsville eleven. Bessemer mounted a fine team effort in registering a hard-fought 20-19 decision. The Whippets had made the play-offs! Bessemer faced Eastern of Alamance in the first game of the play-offs. Bessemer was in complete control of Eastern and the game as they tallied a 6-0 victory and earned the right to face Brevard for the Western championship. In Brevard, Bessemer met an undefeated opponent who had all but toyed with each of its foes in tremendous offensive displays. The Whippets were able to gain the lead at 13-7 late in the first half. Bessemer held this advantage until seven minutes of the fourth quarter had elapsed. Brevard then countered with a great offensive rally to edge the finest team Bessemer has fielded in many years, 19-13! 3-A Champs Baker intercepts on crucial play. Runner-Ups All for Bessemer, stand up and holler. Ready, set, hup one, hup two! “And then came Brevard” 111 Nunn, Straughn lead Brooks foils Asheboro shot! Jump shot leads to basket! At the beginning of this basketball season, Bessemer had only two experienced performers, Wayne Nunn and Richard Straughn. The first six men of last year's great team were lost to grad- uation, so Coach Lacey Gane had to build his squad practically from scratch. Coach Gane also faced a problem of a total lack of height. It is almost impossible to compete successfully in our conference without at least one big man. That is, 6'3 or better. Bessemer's tallest starter is only six feet in height. In putting together his squad, Coach Gane chose two boys with absolutely no experience, Elwood Baker and Roland Deaton. Baker has de- veloped well and become starting guard. From the junior varsity team came Dennis Campbell, Gwyn Brooks, Jackie Underwood, Danny Phillips, and Gary McNeil. With this group of boys, Bessemer began the season at a distinct disadvantage in height and experience, but a lot of potential in several key men. The Whippets won their first three outings against weak competition before suffering their first defeat at the hands of Asheboro. From this point, the roof fell in on the soaring Whippets. They lost the next five ballgames before bouncing back to defeat Asheboro in a return game. This year's edition of the Whippets is a real battler. They have fought many games down to wire before succumbing to greater height and experience. Although the victories have been few this year, the future appears very bright for Whippet basketball aspirations. With only three graduating members, this squad will have greater experience and the probability of added height in the future. Each player on the varsity has given a tremendous effort in each game, and the hustle and determination they have shown proves that they have the pride and will to become a winner.

With many new, enthusiastic players and a confident coach, the Girls' Basket- ball Team has started an uphill tread for the finest team ever. Even though this 3A school plays 4A as well as 3A schools, the team's spirits and honest efforts to win are not discouraged when competing against anyone, either at home or away. These girls have proved themselves competent of winning and playing a good, clean game. This is one of the factors that has helped boost the morale of the team and arouse interest among the stu- dents. It matters not whether we won or lost, but how we played the game, is the motto of these proud girls, struggling to bring recognition to their loyal school. win every game! ! ! ! 117 That is the reason we 4 | � • Baseball Western 3-A Champions 1962 '62 Scoreboard Bessemer 4 3 Bessemer 9 5 Bessemer 7 1 Bessemer 12 0 Bessemer 2 0 Bessemer 7 1 Bessemer 10 1 Bessemer 14 1 Bessemer 9 3 Bessemer 8 2 Bessemer 11 2 Bessemer 3 1 '63 Scoreboard Bessemer 9 1 Bessemer 7 3 Bessemer 25 5 Bessemer 10 4 Bessemer 7 0 Bessemer 2 1 Bessemer 12 0 Bessemer 10 2 Bessemer 8 6 Bessemer 3 4 Bessemer 3 1 Bessemer 16 5 Under the coaching of Mr. Jack Joyce, a youthful and capable coach, the Bessemer Whippet's baseball team tallied up an unbeaten record for the Western Triple A Conference title. They accomplished this under the leadership of such power hitters as Mike Heath, Butch Baynes, Bubba Bryant, and Roland Deaton. The team maintained an overall batting average of . 330 for the year. Of course, no team can be successful without a strong pitching staff. The Whippets were blessed with three capable pitchers, who kept a full winning column and let the losing column gather dust. These pitchers of glory are as follows: Jimmy McNeil, senior; Wayne Nunn, sophomore; Wally Pegram, sophomore. The Whippets in their unbeaten form rallied the stu- dent body as they whipped the school's old rivals. The Rankin Vs. Bessemer gave was one such occasion. In a thrilling exhibition before a record crowd, the Whippets defeated the Rockets by a score of 3-1. To show their remarkable ability, the Whippets toppled the touring team from Cranbrook, Michigan, by a score of 12-5. To go one better, the red-hot Whippets pushed the Mt. Airy team into the infield dust with a score of 10-1. The Students of B.H.S.are proud to have a team like Coach Joyce's representing them. In the coming years we hope that our teams can match these records and meet the goals set by this 1961-1962 3A Conference baseball team.

The United Bank closed a few days after we opened, and within a short period after the bank moratorium the Home Industrial Bank (now Bank of Greensboro) was the only bank left open in the city. Business was available but only for those who were will- ing to work hard to secure it and willing to work equally hard to service it. At that time we decided to devote every hour possible to learning the insurance business thoroughly and to giving con- scientious service to every policyholder regardless of his or her economic or social status in life and regardless of racial descent. We have never deviated from this practice and enter into our thirty-first year pledged to continue to serve all of the people entitled to insurance to the best of our ability. We feel that, in this manner, we will best be able to not only serve our policyholders, but also to serve our companies and the insurance industry as a whole. To the owners of over seven thousand five hundred policies (other than life insurance) in force through our agency we offer sincere thanks, and to our companies we offer equally sincere thanks for your cooperation in making it possible for us to give our policyholders “quality service, on quality goods at quality prices.” GO GO (During this thirty-year period we have car- ried a message to our friends ahd customers each and every month through the Greensboro Daily News.)

Through all our trials and our heartaches We so hoped to find the way To be happy for our own sakes While we lived from day to day. We have many cherished memories Of our years at Bessemer High, And the time is nearing quickly For us all to say goodbye. These halls we may not walk again While we prepare both hearts and minds, But we'll remember now and then The precious friends we've left behind. Senior Class Prayer Our most precious Heavenly Father. While standing on the threshold of life, we realize that without Thy guiding hand, we will not be able to face the difficult trials before us. We give our thanks to Thee for the advantage of learning, the joy of making friends, and the privilege of living in this land of freedom. All that we have accomplished in these past twelve years could not have been possible without Thy guidance, Father. Be with us through our happy hours and our hours of sorrow, but may Thy will be done. Lead our steps into paths un- trod and into horizons unreached. . . and let our lives be lights to others. In Thy Holy Name, we ask it. 139 AMEN LINDA STEELMAN DAVID SMITH Cl ass Prophecy While eating lunch at the Brown Derby, Wayne Daniel and I decided to be very daring and go to the Time Research Laboratory.

Changing Classes This moment, as we sway between a seemingly bright— but quite uncertain—f u t u r e and a wonderfully memorable past, is remindful of the tale of the Old Sailor who throughout his life had been tossed by tumultuous waves, dashed against rocky shores, and battered by ferocious winds. As he lay on his deathbed, precariously hanging on the precipice of that endless emptiness, he confided that his life's only love was for the tempestuous sea. Truly this melancholy narrative is clothed in added meaning as we gaze always ahead with our vision somewhat blurred with the sentiment of one hundred thousand memories. Perhaps a parody of an immortal line would be fitting. Two roads diverged in a cold, dark world... As we dash headlong toward the successes and failures of our future, we are sustained only by the knowledge of the challenges we have faced and the battles we have fought and won.

As the medieval knight rode forth garbed in gleaming armor, armed with tempered weapons, and soothed by his own self-confidence, we exit from these halls knowing full well that lessons learned, the friendships molded, the accomplishments forged by sacrifice and self-discipline have readied us mentally, socially, and morally to make a richer and more rewarding contri- bution to our society. Our preparedness is the direct result of attending a high school that possesses unswerving pride, loyalty to its stu- dents, and a will to excel in every field of endeavor. It is with appreciation, affection, and a degree of sadness that we say farewell to the poeple, the scenes, the activities—yes, to Bessemer High. It Was Worth The Effort! 151 The Halls Are Empty The Students Are Gone All’s Quiet Now As The Sun Sinks On 1962-63 At B.H.S. i V r 11I % 152 155 156 157 A PRODUCT OF 160 . - - .
