Charles D Owen High School - Black Swan / Skirmisher Yearbook (Black Mountain, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1961 volume:

This is your yearbook. It is a record of treasured memories. It is a priceless keepsake that cannot be re¬ placed. It will last a lifetime if treated with care. Handle it as you would any other new book. Open it first down the center and press gently with the palm of your hands. Then begin to open it to other places following the same procedure, until you have opened every page, from cover to cover. This will avoid undue strain on the binding. Do not store your book close to extreme heat, such as a radiator or heat duct. Do not leave it lying in the hot sun; it is fresh off the press and must have time to cure thoroughly before it is handled too much. Avoid getting it wet. Paper will soak up water. Any abuse will damage your book. Careful obser¬ vance of these instructions will help to make your book a lasting record of happy memories. Good luck! D E L M A R Charlotte, N.

The leaves of memory seem¬ ed to make a mournful rustling inthedark. Years from now, When you flip through the leaves of this book, you will remember your high school days; teachers you had liked; people you had forgotten, activities you had enjoyed.

We got Mr. Ditt giving Avery his usual while we were trying to get rid of a roll of film? The whole annual staff played hookey for a day (somewhat similar to Queen for a Day )? Mr. May passed out cigars to his third period class - mature seniors - when he became a papa?

There With only eleven lettermen returning from last year ' s team, Head Coach Howard Barnwell, in his first year at Owen, produced a team capable of better¬ ing last year ' s co-champions by winning undisputed possession of the Buncombe County Championship. The 1961 Warhorse gridders won five games and lost five, maintaining a clean slate in the Buncombe County Conference. Their losses were to representatives of the powerful Blue Ridge Conference in hard-fought games that could easily have gone the other way. Despite the five losses, the Warhorses outscored their collective opponents 189-169.
