The ball games, the dances, the exam s, the good times, and the bad, these too are gone. We cannot turn back time except when time is captured on a page. And this is what we have tried to do--capture on these pages the year as it unfolded. Years from now, we hope that you can look back at the 1964 Black Swan and see this year pass again.

But, as the difference faded between Black Mountain and Swannanoa students, we soon be¬ came a vital part of our school. During the past four years, we were always busy with sports, parties, and a lot of hard work, but now that it is over, it all seems too short. In the years to come, we will recall with pleasure and sentiment the many friends we have made. None of us will ever forget Owen, and we can only hope that Owen will remember us. 81 BARBARA BURNETTE JERRY CHAPMAN GRETCHEN BURNETTE PHILLIP CLARK RICHARD BURNETTE SHIRLEY CRABTREE PAT BYAS CHARLES CREASEMAN VESTAL CALDWELL JOYCE CRISP JAMES CROOK WANDA DOUTHIT BOBBIE DAVIS MYRTLE FALLS JOE DAVIS BILL FAUCETTE MARY DAVIS RONNIE FAULK JULIA DICKENS NORMA FAULKNER BILL FOSTER MARSHALL GARLAND KAY HAMPTON SAM HARPER CAROLYN FRANKLIN GEORGE GARRISON JIM HARDIN NORVAL HENSLEY KATHY FRIESLAND DAVID GIBBS VELMA GADDY JEWELL GREGORY BRENDA GARDNER JOHN HAMMOND 83 STEVE HIGGINS WARREN HUTCHINS JOYCE HOLLIFIELD BARRY JOLLY BARBARA HOWIE RUFUS KENDALL MARTHA HUDGINS GARY KILBY DALE HURST BILL KILPATRICK GLENDA LAKEY JANET LAW WANDA LAWRENCE BILL LAWS MADELINE LEONARD SHARON MAGNANT JOHNNY LOGAN CAROLYN MCDONALD JOAN LOVE DIANE McELREATH SHARON LUCAS BETH McGRATH GAIL LYDA ANNETTE McKINNEY shirley Mcknight RONNIE MESSER KENNETH McMAHAN SANDRA MILD MARIE McMAHAN BOBBI MILLER BILL McMURRAY WANDA LEE MILLS RONNIE McNARY MIKE MIRACLE TERRY MOORE ANNETTE MURPHEY BILLIE NIX RONNIE OWENBY GORDON MORRIS LUCY MURRAY JEAN NIX RONNIE OWENSBY PRISCILLA MORRIS CATHY NEFF WAYNE OATES BILL PACE RAY MORRIS KATHY NESBITT KATHRYN OGLE JIM PACE TOMMY MUNDY LINDA NESKAUG MURIEL OGLE DORA PARKER FAYE PATTON NORMA PETERSON JOSEPHINE PATTON DANNY PLEMMONS KAYE PATTON BILL POLLARD SONNY PERKINS CHARLES PORTER WAYNE PERKINS HERSCHEL PRESSLEY EDTHA PRICE BEVERLY PURDY PATSY PRESSLEY TOMMY PRICE What ' s for lunch?
