2 ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE YEARBOOK CRABTREE IRON-DUFF Route 1 Clyde, North Carolina ANNUAL STAFF John Best Jean Best Martina Rector Freida Green Freda Lee Carlene Ferguson Carol Crawford Dale Glance Gary Rathbone Carroll Hawkins Mary Edith Messer Louise Noland H ywo® County Public Libr iy WtynwvilSo FOREWORD We, the Senior Class, have published this annual with the intentions and hopes of showing you, our readers, some of the highlights of our school life. All the valuable experiences are too numerous to mention, but we have selected some of the most important events. As you reminisce with us, think of us then and now, and observe the progress we have made. This volume of the YELLOW JACKET will be the final history of the high school life at Crabtree-Iron Duff. We have tried to make it the best, and much work has gone into it. We hope you enjoy this publication as much as we have enjoyed creating it. Jean and John Best, Editors 4 HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1 966 The class of 1966 made its debut at school in the fall of 1954. There were thirty-five wide- eyed, curious youngsters--some scared and crying--that faced this big, new world. We give Mrs. James Kirkpatrick the credit for leading us through the first step of our great, new adventure. Under her guiding hand, using patience and understanding as her key tools , we learned what was expected of us and gradually fell into the swing of school life. We were often disappointed because we couldn ' t always do as we wanted to. During the rest of our primary years Mrs. Roxie James, Mrs. Woodrow Plemmons and Mrs. Don Crawford guided our activities. During these four years we lost many classmates, but, in return, we also gained some new ones. One of the most important things we were learning was getting along with others. Many of us participated in the operettas given by the primary grades each of the four years. During the grammar grades Mrs. R. J. Hahn, Mrs. Arnold Terrell, Mr. B. S. Gilliland and Mr. Glenn Noland were in charge of our activities. We were beginning to take our part of the load. We thought these were the busiest years of our lives, but each year we were learning differently. Our preparations for high school were becoming more complex, and we were look¬ ing forward to the day we would enter high school. Our first big disappointment came when we learned we couldn ' t have an eighth grade graduation. But this was soon forgotten in the excite¬ ment of entering secondary school. In the fall of 1962, twenty-nine freshmen entered the ninth grade. Our initiation into the phase is something to be remembered. After this we began joining clubs and taking part in many of the other activities. Mrs. Glen Noland and Mr. Guy Angel were responsible for our introduc¬ tion into high school. Our presentation for Dramatics Night was entitled Scary Hollow . Then, before we realized it, twenty-eight of us were entering school as sophomores. In November of that year a tragic car wreck took away our friend and classmate, Tommy Smith. We decided then that our annual would be created in memory of him. We shall not forget him as his spirit has remained with us throughout high school. After that our entire class seemed closer together. But we could not remain in sorrow because of school work and activities. That year we selected Murder They Say as our play for Dramatics Night. Twenty-one of us entered the junior class and soon ordered our class rings. We made pre¬ parations for the Junior-Senior Banquet at which we honored the seniors. The theme of the banquet was A Song In My Heart . It was a big success and we are looking forward to the night we will be honored in the same way. Our play that year was Bachelor of the Year . Eighteen seniors stand together preparing for the future. We realize that we are the exam¬ ples for underclassmen and we accept this. We are enjoying the benefits of seniors: publishing this annual, ordering invitations, diplomas, and gowns. Mrs. Oral Yates is our senior class sponsor and without her it would be almost impossible to finish out the year. We are grateful to all the teachers, parents, cooks, custodians and all the other members of the staff. We shall all look forward to receiving our diplomas. To some, this will be the end of formal education; but to the rest of us, only a stepping stone to college and our future work. But toward the end of the year, it will be with reluctance that we leave as graduates; but like others in the past, we shall move on and take our place in the future. Jean Best, Historian 5 IN MEMORY Many friends have come, remained a short time, then have gone. One classmate came, stayed one and one-half years, and went away; yet, his spirit has been with us since. His easy manner, reassuring smile, and winsome personality have left their effects upon every member of the class. In fact, his presence is almost real when the group assembles. The memories we have of this friend inspired us to create this edition of THE YELLOW JACKET in memory of him-- Tommy Smith. 6 7 DEDICATION Many factors have been responsible for our happy high school years. One of the greatest contri¬ butors to the four wonderful years is the person to whom we dedicate this, our 1966 yearbook. His firmness we respected; his leadership we admired; his friendship we needed; his advice we heeded most of the time; and his willingness to go the extra mile was a fine example for each of us. He did not always agree with us, but he listened to our story. So, for all of these qualities, we proudly dedicate our only annual, and the last edition for Crabtree - Iron Duff High School, to Robert C. Evans, our principal and friend. 8 G. C.
