PIPER'S PANCAKE SUPPER. The close of a successful Band Day finds Jack White leading the dishwashing brigade. With the charm of a modem day Pied Piper and the voice of a foghorn on a stormy night. You, Jack White, band director supreme, have won our hearts and our allegiance. From West Virginia, by way of Virginia, you have come to us and tripled our band member- ship, taught us more difficult music, and tricky marching maneuvers, spearheaded the success- ful drive for new Iowa style uniforms. Under your expert direction, we have had seven band students chosen for All-State Concert or Work- shop Band, and placed first in Class A band competition in the Southeastern U. S. Band Contest. For your inspiring enthusiasm and your de- votion to the musical spirit of Cary High, we dedicate, to YOU, the 1961 YRAC, for you play a vital part in “Look What’s Happening to Us.” 11

The cam- now contained eight buildings a lighted football field for games. The faculty increased nineteen to fifty-two and the body doubled in size. As nmunity grew, so did our needs. An old story continues- The year 1961 will be, in many ways, like all years. We will laugh and cry, work and play, and, above all, grow. In our serious moments, we will search for knowledge in the library, the lab, and the words of our teachers. Eagerly we will watch exciting touch-down runs — — and heartbreaking fumbles. PTA’s will hold fund- raising barbeques. Gay teenagers will dance at sock hops and formals. Exams will come and go, with joy for some, sorrow for others, but a sigh of relief for all. Then solemn graduates will face that ultimate moment when they will receive their final badge of achievement.
