Kahlil Gibran The Prophet The Senior Class of 1968 dedicates this edition of Post Script to a man who gained our respect and admiration immediately upon his arrival in 1965. Our esteem for him has grown continually as he has shown an active and consistently interested participation in all phases of student life, whether they be academic, extra-curricular, or athletic. The positive force of his intellectual purpose has inspired students in the creation of Country Day’s first literary magazine, Russian literature course, and Film Society. The new seminar class and a vastly improved Monitor is another reflection of his imaginative influence. Always demanding the students’ best and encouraging mature responses from each individual, his sympathy, sincerity, and personal approach to all will long be remembered. We have grown immeasurably under his guidance and will continue to do so. We take pleasure in dedicating this annual to our teacher, Mr. Wil¬ liam G. Nicholson. 2 FACULTY Administration David L.

Harris Dr. P aul Sanger R. Read Tull Herbert Woodward David L. Howe, HEADMASTER Charlotte Country Day School is an independent, non-profit organization that is governed by the Board of Trustees. The present board is consolidated from the former Board of Managers and Board of Trustees. The assets and liabilities of the property employment of a Headmaster as executive director, and the pro¬ gram of the school from budget to curriculum are all the responsibility of the board. Each of the former managers was elected to the office of Trustee,‘and each of the former Trustees was elected to the office of Honorary Trustee for a life term. The new Trustees created a new set of by-laws which provide for the usual officers and two ex-officio members - the President of the Parents ' Council and the Headmaster. The Trustees have set three year terms for the Board, and each member may succeed himself only once without at least one year off the board. The standing committees instituted in the by-laws are the Executive, Finance, Investment, Building, Nominating, Scholarship and Planning. Under the capable leadership of the committees of the Board, the School is already achieving new heights in sec¬ ondary education.

Have a piece of bubble¬ gum, Rog? Another three months and this grape juice will be just right! When will I ever stop light¬ ing the wrong end of my pipe? 10 Hmm ... I don ' t see what Mrs. Raoul has against mini-skirts. - gg rn Seniors The Class of 1968 is a unique combination of staunch idealism and rugged pragmatism resulting in a varied and flexible unit of in¬ dividual free minds and spirits. Academically, no previous class has show such vibrant enthusiasm and originality. In athletics the strength and character of winners and losers alike reflect the level of maturity and commitment that is so necessary in life. Socially, the class as a whole is a poised and confident group, ready for what the world has waiting for it. Excellence is the goal for which every Senior strives. And this class--the Class of 1968--has attained that goal in nearly every field imaginable. But the class is still striving, and will always strive to¬ ward a new and higher goal, whether it be in the arts, the sciences, or the humanities. Throughout this quest for excellence the class will always be free and vital, for without this spark, what is life? To the Class of 1968, life is producing, growing, working for something better and more meaningful; but most of all, life is the search for oneself in a complicated and often confused world. When this goal is finally reached - and reach it we shall - then the Class of 1968 will have taken its place among the elite in an active and pro¬ gressive world. DAVID MICHAEL BIGHAM Toil, says the proverb, is the sire of fame. David has kept Country Day’s athletic team in order for the past two years. As manager of the baseball, basketball, and football teams he has seen to it that equipment and players were always in excellent condition. He has been the Most Im¬ proved student for both his Sophomore and Junior years; this is only one of the many indications that he is a determined worker. David ' s cheery attitude and jovial nature during his three years at Country Day have made him a pleasant addition to the Class of 1968. 12 BARBARA BARTOW CHURCH That action is best which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest num¬ bers. Barbi possesses a friendliness which can be contagious. For the past five years, her hail-fel¬ low --well-met” attitude has permeated the class. An incurable prankster, she has been at the core of the Country Day fun-lovers. Barbi has been out¬ standing in girls ' athletics; her accomplishments include captain of the volleyball team, a four- year member of the basketball team, and a mem¬ ber of the softball team. She has also been a win¬ ner of the Victoria Ludorum award. Barbi has been an active school supporter as a Rebel Rouser, Booster Club member, alternate cheerleader, and President of the Spirit Club. A Yankee with Southern good nature, Barbi is sure to be a success anywhere. RANDAL BURNS BOROUGH, JR. Wasted is that day on which we have not laughed. Wherever Randy has wandered during his two years at Country Day he has left behind smirks, gig¬ gles, and sometimes hysterics. Randy has earned the title of class clown, but he has had his serious moments. He has been a diligent student and an active participator. Randy has played football and was a member of the track and wrestling teams. He has also been a Booster and Monogram Club member. RANDALL HORACE BOONE It matters not how long you live, but how well. Randy has been part of the nucleus of the Country Day baseball team for four years. He was elected Most Valuable Player by his teammates in 1967, and Co-Captain of the 1968 team. Besides baseball, he has been active in football and wres¬ tling. Booner has been well-liked by all for his sincerity and his understanding attitude. He has been an active member of the Monogram Club and Film Society. During his four years at Country Day Randy, has proven himself to be a loyal and help¬ ful member of the class. —v,-- AMY PHYLLIS COHEN Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull. Calamities are made for her to fall into; such seems to be Amy’s predicament. One girl just cannot get into the trouble she does advertantly. In .between attacks of bad luck, Amy has been Vice President of the Latin Club and a member of Film Society. Since coming to Country Day in the sixth grade, Amy has been known for her complete¬ ly unassuming attitude. She has gained the admira¬ tion of the class for her earth-shaking College Board scores. Amy has always been willing to help when she was needed; she has worked on Monitor and has been a Booster Club member. HERBERT WILLIAM COPELAND I love fool’s experiments, I am always making them. Soon after coming to Country Day as a tenth grader, Bill became known as a quiet, courteous, and dependable member of our class. Bill matured in athletics during his Senior year and became one of Country Day ' s most improved wrestlers and an outstanding Pup football coach. Bill could always be counted on to do his best at anything he was asked to do, and do it willingly and conscienteous- ly. Generous with his smiles and possessing a re¬ served confidence all his own, Bill will be remem t bered as a strong and vital part of our class. SUSAN SCOTT CRAIG Behold her solitary in the field. A true individualist, Susan has been associated with anything exciting, original, or unorthodox. A good friend, she has always been quietly friendly and sincerely interested, Susan has shown a definite talent for writing and has been a consistent con¬ tributor to Literary Review. She has also been a member of the Assembly Planning Committee and the Film Society. A possessor of novel tastes and a turn for dramatics, Susan has added her own spark of sophistication to the Country Day scene. She entered the Class as a Junior. EDITH GOSSETT DALTON Those who bring sunshine to others can¬ not keep it from themselves. While most of us discussed our responsibilities, planned them, or avoided them, Dede was busy getting them done. She came to Country Day in the seventh grade, and the aura of charm and sin¬ cerity which surrounded her has grown through the years. She has guided Aquilifer in upholding the organization ' s tradition of excellence in both aca¬ demic and community projects. Dede has been an enthusiastic and dependable member of almost every school organization. A spirited contributor to the Rebel cause, Dede has been a cheerleader for four years. She has given not only tangibly, but also intangibly to our class with her friendli¬ ness, conscientiousness, and effervescence. DAVID NEAL CULBRETH A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. Since Cully” arrived at Country Day in 1962, he has seldom been seen around the campus with¬ out his camera. He has been the chief photographer for Literary Review and Monitor, and he has also contributed to Post Script. Cully, a member of both Spanish Club and Monogram Club, has also been a valuable wrestler and baseball player. In his five years at Country Day, Cully has become known for his dependability, quiet assurance and active responsibility. KAREN PAULINE DAVIDSON Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, I ' ll taste your strawberries, I ' ll drink your sweet wine. Karen is a strange mixture of Southern charm and Yankee energy. When she came to Country Day in ninth grade her constant smile and sparkling per¬ sonality attracted everyone. Since then she has become an outstanding member of the school com¬ munity: Vice President of Aquilifer, May Court attendant. Monitor Copy Editor, Post Script Senior Section Editor, and Head Cheerleader are only some of her distinctions. Most importantly, Karen will be remembered for her undying spirit and de¬ votion to the school. Outgoing, idealistic, enthu¬ siastic, and willing, she is a philosopher with empathy, our thinker with a heart. MARGARET SIEM DOWGWILLA I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest. During her two years at Country Day, Peggy has been recognized as the creative one, both on paper and in paint. She has been an apt art stu¬ dent and a winner in competition. Her original ideas and natural talent have made her invaluable as Associate Editor of Post Script and Secretary- Treasurer of French Club. An ambitious student and independent thinker, Peggy attended the Governor ' s School in 1966. An achiever, she has often been over-worked and under-acknowledged. STEPHANIE CUMMINGS HAIR Life is a jest and all things show it - I thought so once but now I know it. Pepper has lived up to her name with her un¬ predictable, sometimes caustic wit. Another ad¬ vocate of a good time, Pep has been especially creative in the arts - of making mischief. She has also had her serious turns as one of Country Day’s underground Intelligentsia. Interested in languages. Pepper has been a long time member of the Latin and French Clubs. Since joining the class in 1965, she has added diversion as a lively one. With her bent for journalism and cynical, humor - watch out world! JOHN THOMAS FIELDER The greatest deception is to believe the misunderstood. An innovator, Tom was a natural choice for Booster Club President. In addition to making many advantageous changes in this organization, he has been an ardent basketball player, noted for his ability and drive. An often misconstrued individu¬ alist, Tom has a definite artistic talent which he has demonstrated by winning the 1967 Country Day art award. Throughout his eight years at Country Day, he has been an influential and affable mem¬ ber of the class by occasionally contributing his notorious Fielder witticisms in his detached, con¬ fident manner. EMMALYN HOUSTON HELMS Life is very short, and very uncertain; let us spend it as well as we can, 1966 was a year of change and innovation at Country Day; it was also the year Emmalyn joined our class. She has quickly adapted to life at school; in fact she has become an integral part of it. As the Senior Girls ' Student Council Represen¬ tative, she has effectively voiced their ideas and protests along with her own. Emmalyn’s maturity and enthusiasm have been apparent in a wide va¬ riety of activities including French Club, Spirit Club, and the Community and World Service Or¬ ganization. Warmth, sincerity, pastel colors, and an immaculate appearance have been Emmalyn ' s trademarks during her two years at Country Day. BEVERLY ALEXANDER HAZEL Youth is the opportunity to do something and to become somebody. Bev ' s arrival at Country Day in 1966 created a new sensation in our class: the threat of female domination in the math department. Math has not been Bev ' s sole interest; a natural talent for lan¬ guages has made her a valuable French Club mem¬ ber. She has been noted for her firm convictions and has been counted on by Aquilifer for ideas and organization. Bev has also been an enthusiastic Rebel supporter and a member of the Monitor staff. She has been recognized throughout her career at Country Day as an ambitious and efficient planner, one who could be depended upon at all times. ELIZABETH SPENCER HAYES A little archangel slightly damaged. Take a cherub with a blonde moptop, add a streak of devilish mischievousness, imbue it with talent, give it interest and enthusiasm, and you have a Betsy Hayes. She came to Country Day in the tenth grade, and immediately became active as a member of Spanish Club and Assembly Plan¬ ning Committee. She was chosen to be Co-Chair¬ man of the United Appeal Drive and Film Society President for 1967-1968. Gay and yet responsible, Betsy has been diligent in all of her endeavors. JAMES SCOTT HUNTER No people at all, not even ourselves, is entirely our friend. A Rebel from way back, Scott came to Coun¬ try Day in the fifth grade. An outstanding mem¬ ber of the class, he is talented athletically, aca¬ demically, and artistically. Scott has been a leader in many areas of school life including Post Script Editor, Monogram Club President, and cap¬ tain of the football and wrestling teams. His opin¬ ion has been respected both as an Honor Council and Monitor Editoral Board member. As a Junior, he was a winner of the Harvard Book award and the Ernest B. Wright award. In addition, Scott has been the class punster with a philosophical turn. DOUGLAS MITCHELL HOLBROOK ... Things that I could do without... freck¬ les and doubt. During his nine years at Country Day, Mike has been a citadel of common sense and practicali¬ ty. He has strengthened the athletic program by his participation in football, wrestling, and track. In 1967 he was elected alternate captain of the football team. His innocent and modest counte¬ nance hide a playful and often mischievous nature. Mike ' s strength of character has helped form the strong foundations on which the Class of 1968 has rested. JOHN WESLEY JONES Fate laughs at probability. A unique and often pragmatic outlook coupled with driving determination has characterized John ' s nine years at Country Day. He has been an ex¬ tremely capable student, decidedly inclined towards math and science. John has been Top Scholar for the past four years, and he was chosen as the re¬ cipient of the Sewanee Book award in 1967. He has been manager of the football teams in the eleventh and twelfth grades and surprised everyone by becoming one of its most valuable members as a Senior. Because of his outstanding endeavors, he received the Charlotte Optimists Sportsmanship Award for football in 1967. XIMENA LUISA LOBATO C. The world is so full of a number of things I ' m sure we all could be as happy as kings. Ximena, our foreign exchange student from Chile, has been a very special member of the class. With her expressive, and often humorous English, she has managed to brighten all of our days. She possesses an unbelievable amount of happiness which, combined with her flamboyant personality, has made her loved throughout the school. Ximena has been an honorary member of Aquilifer, French Club, and Spanish Club. Enthusiastic about every¬ thing, she was also a Rebel Rouser. SHARON LUCILLE JONES That virtue only is our bliss below, And all our knowledge is ourselves to know. Sharon joined us in 1962. Since then she has been one of our greatest achievers, quietly but distinctly leaving her impression permanently on our class ' record. Anytime there has been scholas¬ tic competition, Sharon has always been among the finalists. Excellence, cheerfulness, and con¬ tinual presence of mind characterize Sharon Jones. She has never been known to do anything unless it was to the utmost of her ability. JAMES HUNTER MARTIN III The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not spend it to no purpose. Hunter has been a member of the class since 1960, and has been a widely respected leader. As President of the Student Council, he has been noted for substantial innovations and beneficial accom¬ plishments. Hunter has been President of the Boos¬ ter Club and an Honor Council member. A serious scholar, Hunter has also been an important member of the football, wrestling, and track teams. Al¬ though he has never been without some responsibility to fulfill, Hunter can always be counted on for a spark of humor. RAY NILSON MITCHELL I smell a rat. Ray has been agile both on the basketball court and in the classroom. In his seven years at Country Day he has been a member of the French, Latin, and Monogram Clubs. Ray has been found to be an interested listener whose subtle humor has added liveliness to any conversation. Besides bas¬ ketball, Ray has also participated in baseball and football and was a Co-Captain of the soccer team. An adept science and math scholar, Ray has been among the elite in these areas while maintaining a seemingly carefree attitude. SALLY ANN MacLAUGHLIN I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart ' s affection and the truth of the imagination. That crazy kid with the beautiful hair has been one of our class’s most dedicated workers. She was one of the creators of Country Day ' s first literary magazines, The Literary Review, and as its Co- Editor for the past two years, she has helped it grow into a periodical widely respected among private schools. Sam ' s talents have included art and music; and her vitality has sparked Aquilifer, French and Latin Clubs, Student Council, and Monitor . She has stood out in the class for her verve and in¬ dividuality. ESTHER EMILY McARVER Without a breeze, without a tide, she steadies with upright keel. A beautiful as well as constructive addition to the Class of 1968, Emily has been with us for two years. She has become a friend to all, a pleasure to be with, and a welcome addition in¬ deed. Numbered among her many accomplishments are membership in the Spanish and Spirit Clubs, and the Community and World Service Organiza¬ tion. Although she has been a serious worker, her riotious sense of humor has been difficult to hide, as evidenced by her vibrant laughter and sparkling eyes. Emily has demonstrated her spirit and en¬ thusiasm in everything she has undertaken. NANCY ELLEN NETZORG The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Nancy has been Texas’ million dollar contribu¬ tion to Country Day. She arrived here from Big D with a dynamic spirit and a winning personality. Although she has been with us only one year, she has been amazingly active in school life. An en¬ thusiastic Rebel fan, she has been a Rebel Rouser and a member of Spirit Club. She has inspired class discussions with many novel ideas and has always been willing to help carry out a new plan. In her short sojourn at Country Day, Nancy ' s wit and vi¬ tality have helped her to win the friendship of her classmates. MARJORIE MILES McMILLAN A little body with a mighty heart. Margie has made up for her microscopic size by being a class giant both actively and scholasti¬ cally. Noted for hard work during her three years ' at Country Day, she has been Secretary-Treasurer of the Booster Club, a cheerleader, and the Busi¬ ness Manager oi Post Script. The little girl with the innocent look has been an avid promoter of soul at Country Day. Always in the swing of things, she has been a member of French Club, Aquilifer, and Community and World Service Or¬ ganization. Margie -- the small one with a lot to say. ELIZABETH LYNN NISBET Haply I think on thee Liz entered our class in 1964, and has since proven herself a natural leader. Completely or¬ ganized, she has been an excellent Chairman of the Assembly Planning Committee. Tuesday morn¬ ing has become an eagerly awaited date for Liz’s interesting speakers and performers. Known for her down-to-earth attitude, she was chosen as Co- Chairman of the Country Day Youth Council, and a member of Monitor ' s Editorial Board. An in¬ dependent and reliable member of the class, Liz has never failed to be graceful, poised, and genu¬ inely interested. PHILLIP SAMUEL PROSCH There was no mistake, there is no mistake, there shall be no mistake. Phil entered the class as a Sophomore. Traces of his unintentional humor have come out unex¬ pectedly, catching many of his classmates unaware. A sports enthusiast, he has been a member of the football, basketball, track, and soccer teams. Besides his interest in athletics, Phil has also par¬ ticipated in the Spanish Club and the Film Society. He has consistently backed the cause of school spirit as a Rebel Rouser. RAYMOND JACKSON PAYNE, JR. The way not to fail is to determine to suc¬ ceed. Since coming to Country Day in the ninth grade, Jack has become one of the most influential members of the class. Outspoken in many matters, Jack has helped the class reach a number of impor¬ tant decisions. An outstanding baseball player, Jack was elected Co-Captain of the 1968 team. He was named honorable mention on the All-Coun¬ ty football team and played a vital role as the sixth man on the basketball team. Jack’s outgoing personality and sincere attitude will make him a respected member of any community. DAVID ELLIS RAMStY The multitude is always in the wrong. David is one the latest additions to the class of 1968 and although he has been with us for only two years, he has been an enthusiastic member of the Spanish Club and Film Society. Outspoken and determined, David has been known for having the last word in matters of importance. He has actively supported Country Day athletics by managing the baseball team, participating in soccer, and attend¬ ing numerous games and matches. Anxious to be an integral part of campus life, David will be re¬ membered as a diligent, co-operative member of the class. CATHERINE MARIA SELLERS You can take the girl out of the small town, but you can ' t take the small town out of the girl. Tyu Tyu, who blushes instantaneously and is innately friendly, came to Country Day as a sopho¬ more. Her considerate nature and ingenuous out¬ look have made her a welcome addition everywhere. Some of her activities include Assembly Planning Committee, Monitor, Spanish and Booster Clubs. A prankster at heart, she has often been saved by her innocent look. Tyu Tyu, who is blessed with endless patience, always tries harder, as evidenced by her Co-Chairmanship of the United Appeal Drive and the honor of Most Improved Student in 1966. PAUL RUFFIN SCARBOROUGH Not too timid, not too bold. A soft spoken member of the class, Paul has been with us since 1964. Dazzling many with an aristocratic charm, Paul has found outlet for his talents in the science lab. His famed sense of hu¬ mor has been appreciated by the Spanish and Latin Clubs, as well as the Film Society. Interested and dependable, Paul has a genius for getting things done smoothly, but with a distinctive Scarborough flair. Never buffeted by the pressures of Senior life, Paul is a reliable asset to our class. NOEL DAY SIDFORD It is my fervent hope that life... ever be tears and laughter. One day in the middle of the ninth grade, Hol¬ ly appeared and since then things have been hap¬ pening. An innovator and opponent of passivity, she helped bring Honor Council out into the open. Nothing is so good that it cannot be made better-- this has been Hoi ' s attitude at Country Day, and she proceeded to do exactly that as Co-Editor of Monitor. Always a dynamic leader and enthusias¬ tic follower, she has been Vice President of Aquili- fer, Co-Chairman of the Assembly Planning Com¬ mittee, and a member of the Post Script Staff. RAY HOWARD TAYLOR I shall play the women with my eyes and the jester with my tongue. Howard entered Country Day in the ninth grade and has since become an indispensable mem¬ ber of the class. His spontaneous sense of humor has helped him to win the friendship of his class¬ mates and has added a certain spark to the Monitor . A basketball player of special note, Howard has been on the team for three years and its captain for two. He has also been active in football, baseball, and track. Howard has been a fun-lover with a serious attitude whose soulful eyes have captivated many a Country Day co-ed. SUSIE CARROLL TRUESDELL Now I am beginning to live a little and feel less like an oyster at low tide. ” Susie has been known during her career at Country Day as a resolute worker. As Secretary, and later President of the French Club, she has made the organization a valuable asset to the learn¬ ing process. Susie has also been Secretary of Aquilifer and Copy Editor of both Monitor and Literary Review. She has the determined mind and energetic spirit which are essential to the leader and contributor which she is. Always sincerely in¬ terested and concerned in whatever she undertakes, Susie is a productive member of any group. WAYNE ELLIOTT WATSON The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. As President of the Senior Class gift committee, Wayne has shown himself to be a responsible and unassuming member of the class. He has been a valuable part of the football, basketball, and track teams, while also adding to the French Club and Monogram Club. Always delving into aca¬ demic proposals, Wayne shows a quiet devotion to scholastic achievement. His unique Monroe wit adds much life to the French and Monogram clubs. SARAH BRITTON WILLIAMS I seek truths; for I am weary of the sur¬ faces. Outspoken and responsible, yet lively and fun- loving, Sarah has been one of the most admirable members of the Class of 1968. Diligent in her work and loyal in her convictions, her wide range of interests has made her invaluable in the school community. She has been a member of Monitor ' s Editorial Board and the Co-Editor of the Country Day Literary Review which she helped to establish. The class has also benefited from her participation in the Wildacres and the Natural Bridge Youth Conferences. CHARLES PARKER WHEDON What fools these mortals be. Parker has always ha d something to say, and whether it is pertinent or not, he will defend it to the end. A completely unique experience, Parker has been the spark of many an otherwise unendurable class. His electrifying wit and unpre¬ dictable nature have kept his classmates in a state of suspense for twelve years. Parker has been a basketball, soccer, and track devotee. Something of a philosopher, he frequently utters words of wis¬ dom coupled with his own brand of Whedonic humor. WILLIAM DOBYNS WORNALL, JR. You’re only young once, but if you do it right that’s enough. Bill joined the class in 1962, and has proven himself one of its most outstanding athletes. A four year member of the football team, he has twice received an honorable mention on the All- County team. Basketball, wrestling, and track round out his sports accomplishments. Bill ' s good nature and tremendous sense of humor have made him an always welcome addition. His activities have included Spanish Club, Monogram Club, and Senior Section Editor of Post Script. Instinctively courteous. Bill has had a winning way with class¬ mates.

Students celebrate the end of another gruel¬ ing twelve-minute lunch period. 54 Student Council Country Day ' s Student Council again this year was an organization growing in prestige as a meaningful part of Country Day life. Representing grades seven through twelve, its elected members met weekly to discuss concerns of the student body and its government. This year the Council spon¬ sored a Football Victory Dance, sold aca¬ demic calendars, held student club assem¬ blies, and worked to create a more unified atmosphere at the school through positive and responsible leadership. The newly created Lower School Student Council had an active first year publishing a Lower School literary magazine and learn¬ ing about student government. With elected representatives in grades two through six, the Council met monthly to discuss student mat¬ ters, and helped teach Lower School students about their own student government.

The Honor Council reviews cases of violation of the Honor system and recom¬ mends action to the headmaster while seek¬ ing to help the individual student involved. This year, in an attempt to better acquaint students with their honor system, the Honor Council sponsored several open assemblies on the subject of the Honor Code at Coun¬ try Day. Aquilifer Aquilifer, the Country Day girls ' honor society, includes those girls who have dem¬ onstrated their honor, integrity, and leader¬ ship in all aspects of school life. Aquilifer demands that its members maintain an hon¬ or average and at least six activity-service points.

The Rebel Defense starts the charge that held its opponents to a record 4. 67 points per game.

B.-56 Captain Howard Taylor and Coach Bristor talk things over after the Rebels’ smashing victory over Asheville Country Day. 68 Ray Mitchell displays his shooting form to an awed Bishop McGuiness defender. Small but agile, Ray bolstered the Rebel offensive attack with his deadly outside shooting and skillful ball-handling. He was also counted on for his hard nosed scrambling for a loose ball and his sharp defensive play. He was the fourth leading scorer on the team with a 6. 5 average and was second in assists. Howard Taylor directs the Rebel attack from the point position. A three year-starter, Taylor has captained the basketball team for the past two years and has been depended heavily upon for both his offensive and defensive skills. He led the team in assists, averaging five per game both seasons. He also was the second leading scorer (10. 0) and was the leading rebounder on the team. A solid team player, his service will be sorely missed next year. Tom Fielder shoots in two from the baseline against Catholic. Tom has started at the center position for the past two years. His inside maneuvers and his aggressive work on the boards has helped off¬ set the height disadvantage that the Rebels have been confronted with for the past two seasons. He averaged 12 points last season and 9 this season, and he also led the team in defensive rebounds both years. Jack Payne goes up high for a shot against Catholic. Although Jack was not a starter, he was an invaluable substitute when the Rebels were in need of height and strength under the boards. He was a good team player and could always be counted on for his hustle and scrap. Jack’s steady progress over last year certainly earned him the recognition of being the most improved player on the basketball team. 69 Varsity Wrestling FIRST ROW: Bill Elliot, Bob Newell, Cully Culbreth, Hoppy Bivens, David Jones, John Jones (Co-Cap¬ tain), Robert Harkness.

Co-captain John Jones sets his Hunter Huss opponents up for a reversal. 145-pound Mike Holbrook works for a pin during the Hunter Huss match. Bill Copeland, competing in the 154-pound weight class, seems to be hugging his op¬ ponent as he shoots a pinning combination. Cully Culbreth, the Rebels’ 112-pounder looks for an opening during the first period of his West match. 71 Junior Varsity Basketball CCDS-57 Durham-45 CCDS-55 Durham.46 CCDS-55 Spartanburg-41 CCDS-40 Summit-31 CCDS-52 Spartanburg-37 CCDS-61 Summit-50 CCDS-55 Greenville-56 CCDS-53 Greenville-52 FIRST ROW: Scott Williams, Richard Branson, Randy Lee (Co-Captain), Andy Salisbury (Co- Captain), Todd Chapman, Elliot Wood, Peter Van Allen.

A small but very quick Country Day football team put together an explosive offense and a stubborn de¬ fense on their way to a fine 7-1-1 season, including a magnificent 17-0 win over cross-town rival Catho¬ lic. On offense the Rebels utilized the passing combi¬ nation of Doug Yeager to Randy Jones and the running of Phil Sawyer and Bill Wornall to mount a balanced attack that put 216 points on the scoreboard, for a 24 point per game average. The Rebel defense, often outweighed by as much as 50 pounds per man, relied on a quick and hard hitting line and a great pass defense that did not allow a touchdown through the air in nine games. Halfback Phil Sawyer breaks into the clear be¬ hind tremendous blocking. Runs like this one were typical of the high scoring Rebel offense. Lat Purser, the Rebel wingback finds running room in the Mount Pleasant secondary. The Rebels put it all together that night as they rolled over the Tigers 34-0. 75 The Country Day defensive eleven, which might better be called the Smothers Bro¬ thers, crush the Stanley quarterback. Plays such as this enabled the Rebels to hold the Blue Devils to seven yards total offense. Golden Toe Randy Boone boots another point through the crossbars. This was one of his twenty-six points during the season. Randy Jones leaps high for a pass against Olympic. Scott Hunter blitzes through the Olympic offensive line to score a safety in the Rebel 9 to 6 victory over the Trojans. 76 Scott Hunter and Randy Borough over¬ whelm Christ School defender to block his punt. This play led to the Rebels’ first touchdown. 77 Co-captain Dave Ramsey maneuvers past a Myers Park defender for a shot on goal. jf. Y The soccer team, operating as an athletic club, has made,great strides under the direction of Coach Voorhees. Though the team won only one match, the brand of play was aggressive and fast throughout the season. In time soccer sup¬ porters hope to see this new ac¬ tivity become a letter sport at Country Day. FIRST ROW: Ray Mitchell (Co-captain), Larry Cohen, Craig Voss, Nick Greenia, Bernie Ackerman, Phil Prosch. SECOND ROW: Richard Quinn, Pat Quinn, Ben Howe, Richard Salisbury, Chris Boney, David Ramsey (Co-captain), Chris Link, Parker Whedon. Quarterback Todd Chapman rambles around end as Richard Branson and A1 Worn all lead the blocking in the J. V. ' s win over Spartanburg. 78 On the surface, the 1-13 sea¬ son through which the Varsity Bas¬ ketball team suffered was dismal indeed. But never during the year did team morale falter, and noticeable improvement could be seen with each game. From the start, the Rebels were handicapped by a lack of height and depth, and later on the loss of a few starters further diminished the chances for a winning season. As dismal as the record may have appeared it is not a valid indication of the effort and atti¬ tude of the team and its supporters. Sophomore Mike Vulgan drives past a Bishop McGuiness defender for a lay-up as Jim Cornwell positions himself for the rebound. Howard Taylor hauls down a defensive rebound to set up the fast break against Bishop McGuiness. High scoring Jim Cornwell throws in two of his twenty one points against Catholic. 79 ► 1 David Jones, competing in the 127-pound class, uses a leg ride to pin an opponent. Junior Robert Harkness puts on the pressure as he rides his West op¬ ponent. The 1968 edition of Country Day wrestling, though not one of Coach John Cook ' s best, was nevertheless a strong and exciting team. Outstanding performances by co-captains John Jones (8-2) and Scott Hunter (9-1), Mike Hol¬ brook (8-2-1), Lat Purser (10-1), and David Jones (10-1) made up in part for inconsistency in the light and middle weights. Against strong competition with 4-A schools in the area, CD ' s wrestlers proved that on an individual level they could compete with the best. yet ■ mm ■ fl , ■ SR 97-pounder Bill Elliott throws his man back to the mat after an attempted switch. 80 103-pounder Bob Newell works for a pin against his Christ School op¬ ponent. Phil Boger lays in a clutch basket against arch-rival Catholic, Tom Fielder shoots over a Bishop McGuiness defender in a hard- fought battle with the Villains, Hoppy Bivens drives Christ School ' s 120 pound wrestler to the mat. 81 Tom Fielder and Catholic center leap high for control of the open¬ ing tap in the first meeting of the two teams. Co-captain Jill Williams controls jump ball in a game against Our Lady of Mercy. Hmmm - Just as I suspected - worms. Mike Magnan pins his Summit op¬ ponent in a decisive win by the J.

BURTS Spring 1968 Spring came to Country Day bringing with it the intense desire to make those last few weeks as productive as possible - to make an A on that last term paper, or to strengthen that neg¬ lected friendship. Was it the coming of Spring that instilled in us this eagerness to excell, or was it our newly discovered maturity? Whatever the source, we did excel and we did mature, but most importantly we grew into more respon¬ sible and aware young men and women.

Coach Davis ' 1968 track squad finished with the most successful season yet. The Rebels were strong in all areas of competition: sprints, hurdles, distance runs, relays and field events The tracksters made full use of their new track running to an undefeated regular season and a very respectable third place finish in a nine team meet in Asheville. Co-captain Mike Holbrook unsuccessfully encounters a hurdle. vv ' .r v Tom Fielder scoops up a late throw. Bill Wornall pours it on in the mile relay. High jumper Wayne Watson clears the bar with room to spare. Co-captain Randy Boone slides in for a close play at third. Jubilant Cully Culbreth scores for the Rebels. Broad jumper Scott Hunter displays an unorthodox but winning form. Co-captain Jack Payne catches a high-pop fly. Jim Cornwell slides for safety at first. Anchorman Doug Yeager clinches mile relay victory after recovering from a 30 year deficit. What d ' ya mean he ' s out? Robert Harkness shows the strain at the finish of a hard fought 220. Fencers display their newly acquired skills in girls ' athletics. Sure wish those scouts from the Dodgers would leave. They’re making me nervous. Ace base-stealer Craig Madans pre¬ pares to run for it. Sprinter Chuck Holtzclaw breaks the tape at Asheville in the 100 yard dash. Discus man Richard Salisbury strains for distance in one of his winning tosses. Ace spiker Susan Craig amazes team¬ mates with her win¬ ning form.
