The yearbook took an UP CLOSE look at the staff, the students, the sports program, the ac- tivities, and the community to prove why. Located in a rural setting, Central had a total enrollment of 489 for the 77-78 term. The size of the student body made an I know everybody relationship possible. This factor bred friendli- ness and closeness among the students. QS 6 ig my BOTTOM, Page 2: The photographer catches Roxann Moody and Randy Kivett playing around.

Varsity teams develop a great deal of closeness among the players, a closeness which encourages coopera- tion and unselfishness. There's just one thing wrong with a small school: there is no choice of guys. Once one knows a few, she knows them 3 Teachers Merit Students' Trust all. Another factor that helped to create unity was a good working relationship between faculty and students. Not only was an effort made to offer as much individual attention as possible during classes, but also many teachers volun- teered extra help after school. Most of the teachers I know have gained my trust. Many students feel that they can speak freely with many of this year's staff. Teachers seem to be most concerned about the students. I've found more than just a faculty member I could confide ing in one, I've found a friend. I think of all my teachers not just as teachers, but as friends.

Most parents cooperated to help enforce the attendance policy and to encourage stu- dents to Work at their potential. Community backing spurred athletic teams and helped to give them confidence. Being a student is my child's occupation. He should understand this fact and attend school just as an adult would be present on his job each day. Since taxpayers make public school possible, students should appreciate the oppor- tunity to learn and attend regularly. lf it weren't for parents, Concert Choir per- formances would never be successful, they re- ally back us. I don't think enough people sup- port our band, both parents and students should take pride in the band. We feel that the least that we can do to pro- mote sports programs, which teach young peo- ple to work together, is to attend faithfully and encourage the players.

RIGHT, Page 9: Con- cert shirts proved to be a popular fad on the campus this year as shown by Kenny Sea- groves, David Cooper, and Eric Goldston. 8 Although the students were from small com- munities or farms, they were exceptionally fashion conscious. Boots, gauchos, skirts, Bass weejuns, concert shirts, stick pins, berets, sus- penders, and scarves all made the scene as early here as they did in urban areas. Everybody has gone boot and scarf crazy - even me! Some of the newest fashions look good on some people, but not on all. We are fashion conscious because we care how we look in front of friends. Those long sweaters are neat for both sexes. I thought that l'd never be caught in gauchos, but I tried on a pair and liked them. Everyone has boots now, so I don't want any. All I see is boots, I'm sick of 'em! One student summed up the feelings of most of Central's student body when he commented, If I had a choice, I wouldn't go to high school anywhere else!

'- Football Bears Stronger Than Record Indicates Winning over Stoneville 33-12, the Bears ended the season on a high note with an overall 4-6 record. The season was highlighted by a near upset of top-ranked West Montgomery as the Warriors scored on a last-second despera- tion pass. This and other close contests showed the Central fans that the Bears were better than their record indicated. A big part of Central's offense was All- Conference Lineman Joe Burke as he opened many holes for leading rushers, Darrell Moore with 647 yards and Warren Creecy with 306. They were under the direction of quarterbacks Darrell Barber and Randy Kivett. Kivett led the passing attack with 436 yards, while Barber di- rected the rushing attack. Holding down the re- ceiving end were Tommy Estridge and Danny Scott with 306 and 219 yards respectively. Leading the defense were Tommy Estridge, Randy Scott, joe Burke, Darrell Barber and Ieff Phillips. Tommy Estridge received All- Conference honors for his defensive play. Darrell Barber's record-breaking punting av- erage of 39.5 yards earned him an All- Conference berth. His longest punt equaled an outstanding 57 yards.

The only Chatham County Basketball team to ever win a State Championship finished with a 24-4 record. The Union Spartans led the Bears the whole first half but spurted to a lead of 10 points early in the third quarter. The Bears came back and took the lead, which was never threatened, and went on to win 58-47. The Bears placed three players on the All- Conference and All-Tournament team: Roxann Moody, Pandora Cotton and Penny Brown. Put- ting in 532 points and pulling down 394 re- bounds, Pandora Cotton earned her spot as Player-of-the-Year in the Conference. Penny Brown followed in rebounding with 271 and was third in scoring with 320 points. Roxann Moody by not only being the second leading scorer with 525 points and leading in steals and assists, also provided the team with true lead- fContinued on page 18.3 AA Championship -ui' W 'f,'j.. ....

Success for the Bears was due to the revolving starting line up and key players coming off the bench.

Central's only victory was an impressive one as the lassies defeated Northwood 7-2. They also lost several close matches with 5-4 scores. Beth Barber was the leader of the individual play with an 8-4 record followed by Bunnie Brewer with a 5-5 record. Girls' Tennis Beating orthwood Highlights Season SEIVE .

Taking an Up Close look at what makes Chatham Central a unique school, yearbook staffers discovered among other things that student-teacher rapport is good, that students know one another by name, that the size of the school gives more students a chance to enjoy sports and activities, and that community sup- port of the school is excellent. Patrons' and donors' support helped to meet rising costs of both production of the yearbook and pictures. Mrs. Betty Caviness, advisor, Miss Letha White, assistant advisor, and Bob Chappell, layout artist, worked with the nineteen staff members who received one unit of credit for their efforts. 1 ' f r-f , ' -.N-Nw x.-c V,:k q xunf mm' WM--M-w , , W ,, g MWWWW align ,,.,f W' 'M -J. 4, If M w vi wf f , 'rgxfrr .- f W' JE if EMZWQQ 3, w.

GPPORYUNI' .Qi 73 Science Chemistry Stresses Extensive Labs Chemistry and advanced chemistry syllabi stressed extensive lab work this year as stu- dents experimented with producing gases and vapors, with bending glass, and with the distill- ing of Wood. Lab safety was of utmost impor- tance due to some dangerous experiments at- tempted. In physical science, freshmen experimented with building light study boxes to study reflec- tion and with constructing double convex lenses to study converted images, as well as with other things that coordinated with units of work. Biology, required for sophomores, involved exploration of areas ranging from the develop- ment of plant life to the different stages of mitosis. Keeping notebooks was one course re- quirement.

Installment of a language laboratory updated learning techniques for French classes. Each student had an individual booth equipped with earphones and controls. The laboratory pro- vided privacy for the student to practice pro- nunciation and drill excercises. Classes also viewed filmstrips and slides and listened to recordings to supplement their textbooks. Drama expanded with the addition of a Drama II class. Students enacted many new types of plays and performances with the aid of the Home Ec. and Music Departments. A dinner theatre presented in the fall and a production of Oklahoma in the spring highlighted the year. English classes studied grammar and litera- ture on an alternate basis. Classes alternated to use the library one day per week. Sophomores and Seniors in college bound classes wrote term papers. 76 17' 6 3' f E 5 2 M s , .... w. K 3 ,W .- K- .,ff- Rr, W ,. .,,w,5,-- YQ .

Students in these classes journeyed to Read Gold Mine in the spring to strengthen their knowledge of local history. Film series from the Enterprise System pro- moted interest for United States history classes as they studied our country's struggles, triumphs, and problems. Term papers also enhanced the knowledge of the students. 78 3 F l 2 TOP, Page 78: joe Allen, Kenny Sea- groves, and Duncan Dowdy display cur- rent events in modern history.

Courses . if My if A 4, Approximately one half of Central's students took physical education this yearg twenty-five percent of the number enrolled were in elective courses. Physical education aims and objectives were to teach students the proper skills needed to participate in and enjoy a variety of sports and recreation and also to develop each student physically to a point that would enhance his efforts in any particular sport he chose. Freshman health and physical education was designed to combine the physical aspect with a general knowledge of health and the human body. Advanced P.E. helped develop a high skill level in a variety of games. Introduction to athletics carried the knowledge of different sports even farther. Students learned not only how to play different sports and games, but also how to prepare and plan for sports contests. mm GO Q W 'E an tently on their linoleum blocks.

Marketing, primarily for sophomores, is a classroom course only. D.E. I offers class- room work and on-the-job training, D.E. II con- tinues on-the-job training. Fourteen students are enrolled in this program and currently hold job positions. Central's school store is the responsibility of D.E. students, too, as two work for a week at a time. Following a schedule, they work three times during the year. gg! TOP LEFT: Joyce Oldham straightens merchandise at Zayre's during her part-time job.

Classes Aid Dinner-Theater Show 92 Clothing service and food service classes aided the Drama Department with a dinner- theater production by making costumes for the play and preparing and serving the meal. Dealing with the more advanced areas of sewing such as alterations and designing, cloth- ing service students furthered their skills by making draperies for the lab. Food Service catered a luncheon for I-IEW and filled orders for many community functions. Having acquired a milk shake machine this year, the class gained more practical experience when they operated the grill. For away basket- ball games, they made sandwiches and cup- cakes for the teams. They also practiced cake decorating. Home Ec. I and ll, introducing child care, budgets, planning and preparing meals, and the fundamentals of sewing, and family living rounded out the home economics course offer- ings. ff' TOP, Page 92: Teresa Davis turns the hem up on a garment in Home Econom- ics I.

Auto Mechanics umerous Engines Present Challenge Disassembling, inspecting, and reassembling twenty-five engines provided extensive experi- ence for Auto Mechanics II students as they learned the basic fundamentals of mechanics. Auto Mechanics III completed more advanced studies as students completely overhauled large and small engines. The class also learned to re- pair ignitions, carburetors, transmissions and brakes. The main project for the year was to place the engine back into the MRS tractor. Two units credit are given for completion of Auto Mechanics II, three units, for Auto Me- chanics III. 94 I TOP RIGHT: Auto Mechanics II stu- dents Ricky Cross, Tim Martin, Skippy Dixon, Tim Tally and Bill Wallace pre- pare to paint truck.

Cabinetmaking Students Construct School Furniture Cabinetmaking II students applied their skills in Woodcraft by constructing school furni- ture to be used in various Chatham County schools. Constructing roofs for the school's dugouts was a joint project of Cabinetmaking ll and III, and the third year class did some remodeling projects in the community. Third year students submitted individual projects required to be completed by the end of the school year. Cabinetmaking II is a two-hour coursep Cabinetmaking III, a three-hour course.

Other completed projects included the jordan Matthews field house, which was started last year, and a utility building at Bonlee School. Taught in two and three-hour blocks, bricklaying trained students for careers in con- struction. is TOP: Bricklaying Il students use much practice in the class- room to perfect their skills.

Boosted by the horticulture team which placed fifth in the nation, students were challenged to work har- der than ever. Horticulture courses in the curriculum in- cluded general horticulture, dealing with plant identification and basic plant care, Ornamental ll, involving the production of cut flowers and potted plants, and Ornamental III, presenting nursery production and developing landscape plans. Other courses in the department were Ag- riculture l, called rural living, and Agriculture ll, dealing with forestry work.

Of the 129 freshman, 61 were girls, While 68 were boys. Fifty-nine freshman were members of vari- ous clubs in the school, and 53 claimed to take an active part in the sports program. As an indication of the number of possibly college bound freshmen, 36 class members elected to take Algebra l. Freshmen seemingly validated the specula- tion that youngsters are dating at an earlier age when 81 noted that they have parental approval to date. They failed to state, however, how many actually have dated during their freshman year. 'Zi ,W ,,1,,1f V.

Cutting down on absences and making stu- dents more responsible for their cuts were the main objectives of the program. Both Mr. Phil- lips and Assistant Principal Marlyn Scott agreed that the plan had worked satisfactorily last year and was worthy of adoption by the Whole county. CETA, a federal government funded pro- gram, gave the school an additional staff member in November to operate the alternative classroom. The alternative classroom was pro- vided to keep students with behavioral prob- lems in school. ABOVE: Assistant Principal Marlyn Scott. TOP RIGHT: Principal Wayne E. Phillips.

Mrs. Marylin Wilson and Mrs. Shirley Gaines have won the love and respect of all. Along with her duties as school secre- tary and bookkeeper, Mrs. Wilson also takes up lunch money and drives a school bus. Mrs. Gaines, who fulfills her role as guidance secretary, also performs many other tasks. She voluntarily types tests and exams for faculty members and keeps health records for all students. Miss Shirley and Mrs. Wilson can always be counted on for anything from a Band-Aid to a shoulder to cry on. With much love and appreciation, we dedicate the 1978 CENTRALIA to Mrs. Marylin Wilson and Mrs. Shirley Gaines. l3l B.M.
