Blue Ridge School for Boys - Blue Ridgian Yearbook (Hendersonville, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1965 volume:

I would like to express my appreciation to the members of the annual staff who have given so much of their time and energy to this yearbook. If it were not for the devoted work by each member of the staff, this publicatio n would not have been possible. Although Blue Ridge is a small school, which otherwise would make it difficult to find a superb staff, I believe that this staff is one of the best ever to attend this school. I would also like to thank the members of the faculty who have shown much interest and given a great deal of construetive eriticism whieh has helped to make this the yearbook what it is. I would especially like to tbank Mr. Kenneth Henry, our faculty advisor, who worked consistently with the staff throughout the year. Cliff Orb, Editor. Annual Staff Clifton G. Orr.

SOPHOMORE CLASS 3 4 Dedication... A man of authority, yet one who understands; a man of humor, yet one who is wise; a scholar, yet one who loves spor t; a gentleman; a teacher. This is Mr. William Telford Turk, and to this man we dedicate our annual. Mr. Turk, who was born in Homer, Georgia, attended the University of Georgia where he received his A.B. degree. After this, he studied in France at the University of Rennes, later returning to his alma mater where he served as instructor in the Department of Romance Languages while completing work for the Masters degree. While a student at the University of Georgia he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a national honor fraternity. Never satisfied with his own preparation in his chosen field, he has periodically continued study in institutions including his alma mater. Golumbia University, University of Alabama, and the University of Tennessee. Before coming to Blue Ridge in 1941, Mr. Turk taught at Peacock School, Atlanta, Georgia; Paris Junior Gollege, Paris, Texas; Rugby Academy, New Orleans, Louisiana; an d Sch¬ reiner Institute, Kerrville, Texas. In his twenty-four years as a member of the Blue Ridge faculty, Mr. Turk has become a beloved tradition, generously bestowing the light of his intellect and the warmth of his personal¬ ity upon one and all. Balancing sharpness of tongue, when needed, with constant and affec¬ tionate solicitude for the welfare of his students he has led, encouraged, and prodded generations of students into a respect for scholarship and a love of the classics. In their hearts remain cherished memories of one of whom it may truly be said that “gladly would he learn, and gladly teach.” 5 The year just ending has brought many new opportunities for development to students at Blue Ridge. In addition to the usual class work and athletic activities, seniors have participated in much of the dormitory routine, and all stu¬ dents have shared responsibilities in the dining room and in the upkeep of buildings and grounds. As they have discharged these obliga¬ tions, the students have become more mature and more understanding of adult responsibilities. Particularly has this been true of the members of the Annua! staff, who, in addition to their regular duties, have given much time and energy to the preparation of this book. For their faith¬ ful and tireless efforts, and for their competence and zeal in producing a valid record of the school year, they have our grateful commenda¬ tion. Their greatest reward, however, lies in the realization that they have performed well their parts and have made a worthy contribution to this, the fifty-first year of their alma mater. In so doing they have furthered their own educa- Mr. Singletary. My message in this, the 1965 edition of the Blue Ridge Annual, is to the Senior Class. My debt to you personally and as an administrator of this school is great. You have taken a difficult task and have done it well. Traditions that you have started will live on here at the school for many years to come. The job has been trying at times and there have been various areas of disagreement, but when cooperation was needed, then cooperation was given. I think the most profound thing that I can say is. Thank You. Mr. Preston. 6 Administration JOHN M. PRESTON Dean University of North Carolina; Clemson Univer¬ sity; A.B., Wofford College. As many men, so many minds; every one his own way. JOSEPH E.

History Of The School Blue Ridge School was founded in 1914 by Mr. Joseph R. Sandifer, who, until the time of his death in 1956, was owner and headmaster. When Mr. Sandifer passed away, his wife, Mrs. J. R. Sandifer, took charge of the school from 1956 until the late months of 1963, at which time it was leased from her by The Blue Ridge Educational Foundation, a newly formed organi¬ zation composed of individuals interested in the school’s progress. The puqDose of this transfer was to enable the school to continue, prosper, and grow. Had it not been for the insight of such men as Mr. John R. Brooks, Dr. Bolyston Green, and many others, this rebirth of a wonderful institu¬ tion might never have taken place. As a college preparatory school. Blue Ridge has, throughout the years, sent most of its graduates on to various colleges. In this way, the school’s enrollment has been largely re¬ stricted to boys expecting to continue their edu¬ cation in colleges and universities. Although the majority of the students have normally come from the Carolinas and immedi¬ ately adjoining states, there have always been a number of students from more distance areas. Altogether, thirty-five states and fifteen foreign countries have been represented. There have been many noticeable changes around Blue Ridge since The Foundation took charge. And this is only the beginning. In a very short time. Blue Ridge will see many others planned to improve facilities and effectiveness. The most noticeable of the changes which have already taken place, is the new senior system. Under this, the seniors take charge of much of the discipline of the underclassmen. Each year, four proctors are appointed by the faculty and The Board of trustees to make sure that the seniors carry out their duties to the best of their ability. Also, for the first time, a senior is managing the student store. By introducing this system, Mr. Preston and Mr. Singletary believed that the boys would mature more rapidly and be better prepared for the challenges which lie ahead. Although this system is an innovation at Blue Ridge, it has proved itself effective and useful. Thus, our school is taking measures to meet the needs of present students and plan for a challenging future. 12 Board Of Trustees JOHN M. PRESTON C. G. GUNTER JAMES W. DUFF W. H. MORRISON, JR. , DR.

He said he was going to burn me, and by golly, he burnt me. 15 o c t 0 r Each year four men are chosen by the faculty and the Board of Trustees to serve as proctors. Their main function is to maintain discipline on the domitory halls and to make sure that the seniors, under the new senior system, handle the responsibilities as they should. This year they have done a commendable job. 16 JOHNNY BROOKS Columbia, S. C. 3, 4 “Here’s proof never to measure a man’s character by his size.’’ Student Council 4; J. V.

In Conclusion ... The CLASS OF 1965 has set a new landmark in Blue Ridge history. This is the first class to undertake and fulfill the added responsibility of the senior system. More than any other year in their high school career, this is the most meaningful for them. It symbolizes the shedding of protective parental care and the embarkation upo n the threshold of adulthood. They have faced many decisions, some seem¬ ingly very important, but the most important are yet to come. If good judgment is exercised, the making of these decisions will produce the ulti¬ mate goal. However, they must always remem¬ ber that only the future is undetermined; only the past determines the future. 22 Post Graduates Coming to Blue Ridge for an extra year of preparation before college, these boys added much to school life. They contributed consider¬ ably to the athletic program, and have helped themselves toward a richer preparation for the future. POOCHIE CORN Balfour, N. C. SCOTT DERRICK Johnston, S. C.

Last Will And Testament VVe, the domineering SENIOR CLASS of BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL FOR BOYS, realizing that the end is near, do hereby present our last will and testament. BROOKS wills his sex appeal to Frick. BURBAGE leaves his (?) hairspray to Bornemann. COFFEY bestows his athletic ability to E. Lynch. ERSKINE endows his pseudo intellect to Goodwin. HECHT hands down his pretzels to Blue. JOHNSON bequeathes his good nature and bars to Bush. KOONCE wills his ability to slip out at night without getting caught to Russ. LOWRANCE leaves his magic wand to Ellis. LYNCH bestows the size 24 pants, which he borrowed, to Clarke. LYNE endows his frequent smiles to Huddleston. MONCKTON gives his sympathy to all returning students. MORTON bequeathes his fine relations with Mr. Turk to Watkins. ORR hands down his Georgia accent to Purwin. PARSLEY wills his Vick’s Vapo-Rub to Reid. STOCKTON bestows his “fatherly touch’’ to Bethea. VENTERS leaves his Nazi flag to Jeka. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will our ability to get away with more mischievous actions than anyone else to the returning students. Also, we bestow our demerit sheets, hall duty, and all of our privileges upon the Juniors. 24 N Juniors The Junior Class has shown much unity in preparing for the hard task which awaits them next year. They have come a long way since September, and with their determination, will continue to progress. If there is one group who is ready to take on responsibility and leader¬ ship, it is surely the Juniors.

Though small in number, these hoys have put forth much effort in training for the years ahead. They find themselves midway through their high school years, with more difficult challenges yet to be met. If they meet these challenges with the vigor that they have expressed in the past, they will continue to be successful. Lattniobile” Too had all of this is out of my reach!

They have learned to get along with each other, to take pride in their class and school, and to face the problems and responsi¬ bilities of school life. Although the Freshman is at the bottom of the high school ladder, he is one of the most noticeable and active aspects at Blue Ridge. Many times, he may have to work a little harder than the upperclassman, but he may take comfort in knowing that one day, he too, will be in a high and noble position. But, until that day comes, it’s “Please the upper¬ classmen, and watch out for those demerits.” FRED COATES BOB ELLIS TOM FAWCETT DAVID JEKA JIM JOHNSON ED LYNCH 34 CLAUD PREVOST JIMMY TILLMAN TIM SMITH Who’s that banging on tlie wall?

This record can be attributed to the ex¬ cellent team spirit which the footballers of 1964 exemplified and carried out through the entire season. For it was by playing as a team, not as individuals, that last year’s team gained not only a sense of team work, but also a finer under¬ standing of the sport. There were the bus trips to the away games plus the high and low points in each game such as the hard-fought 0-0 tie at the hands of Polk Central, the 95-yard run back by Frank Blue at Cane River, a runback which turned out to be the longest kickoff return of the entire season in Western North Carolina. There was also the loss to Christ School, our rivals in which Blair Lowrance broke his right arm and finally, there was the victory over Patterson which closed out the season—certainly the best ever in our eyes.

Without the vital services that the managers perform, an athletic team would not be run as smoothly and efficiently as some are. The managers have the dirty jobs to do such as getting everything cleaned after a game, cleaning the dressing room, and others too num¬ erous to mention. After a hard work out during practice . . . comes a worthwhile break for rest.

The team began prac¬ ticing in mid November and finished in the latter part of February. Coach by Mr. Philip (Buck) Preston who is a student at Wofford College and drove fifty miles each trip to coach his team, the players learned the finer arts of the game. Even though the team dropped all of their decisions, we are still proud of the players for their courage, fortitude, and sportsmanship which they exhibited throughout the season. We are also proud of them for the way they with¬ stood the various hardships of practice sessions and games. Once again we would like to thank and to e.xpress our sincere gratitude to the 1965 soccer team and for their work.
