For 27 years, Mr. Harry Hallyburton made our school one to be proud of. Now we have more of the same magic with Mr. E. O. Hallyburton. Everyday was crammed full of changes. Fall revealed four new teachers and three new Fine Arts courses. Cheerleader changes for winter were our first cheering mascots and new uni¬ forms. Spr ing brought a streamlined annual. The saddest change of all was the retirement of Mrs. Maude Stover at the end of the year. Drexel school is always altering itself, but the warm memories students hold never change. 2 Events of the year page 4 Curriculum page 16 Activities page 32 K Q ft yy Classes page 64 3 Events of A school year at Drexel always bubbles with activity. This year all students enthusiastically took part in the pep rallies which helped boost their teams’ spirit. Spirit was especially high when Deb McKee was crowned the 1968 Homecoming Queen. An event that all students enjoyed was Slop Day. Juniors worked hard on the magazine sales and raised money for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Senior 4 the Year Miss Hi-Miss honors went to Elaine Mull while Elizabeth Berry was chosen Junior Miss Hi-Miss. With spring came the tapping of juniors into the Beta Club, the production of The Sound of Music, and finally, the long antici¬ pated event, graduation. Deb McKee Crowned 1968 Homecoming Queen Tradition, chaos, excitement and action filled the halls of Drexel High School the week of October 9-13 as the students prepared for the homecoming activities. It all began with a bonfire Thursday night. Spirit hit us hard with the help of the cheerleaders’ “spirit stick.” The unveiling of the football team’s masterpiece was the highlight of the bonfire. The giant picture of a wolverine with our instructions on how to beat Hibriten helped put us on the victory road. Besides drawing the wolverine, the football team helped dress up the inside and outside of the school building. On a poster in the main hall, the players each singed in and added a short note to his fellow team mates. Outside, the boys showed the rest of the school how they were going to bury Hibriten after the slaughter Friday night. D.H.S. cheerleaders were busy, plastering the school with posters and boosting everyone’s spirit at what turned out to be one of the most inspiring pep rallies we had all year. The parade through “beautiful downtown Drexel” began at 4:30. The march was led by the Drexel police, followed by the band, captain of the football team and mascots, sponsors and their escorts and the cheerleaders. Finally, the climax of the homecoming festivities arrived, the Drexel-Hibriten game. To signal the beginning, the football team ran through the wolverine banner that had been first presented at the bonfire. The sponsors were presented a corsage of a white flower trimmed in blue. They anxiously watched the first half of the game from the sidelines. No need to be anxious though, be¬ cause at the end of the second quarter Drexel held a substantial lead. At this time, the sponsors and their escorts marched onto the field to the accompaniment of the Drexel High School Band. After passing under the ivy covered arch, each couple took their place in the heart shaped formation. Every girl waited tensely as Mr. Hally- burton named the 1968-69 Homecoming Queen. No one was disappointed in the selection, Debra Jean McKee escorted by Johnny Poteat and sponsored by the football team. She was in tears as captain Br yan Dellinger cro wned her. Deb was indeed a beautiful queen as she made the traditional trip around the field. While she was receiving congratulations and best wishes, a brillant display of fireworks was presented in her honor, making a colorful finale for a gala occasion. Spurred on because “their” sponsor had been crowned, the team won the ballgame easily, 19 to 6. This was a truly magic night not only for Deb, but also for everyone involved. A night filled with happiness, sentiment, and victory, that the graduating class will long want to associate with Drexel High School. 6 %i : ' $ % ' ' ■ 1 |g|||fk ; ■ j D.H.S. 1968 Homecoming Court: their poise and personality stole our hearts away.

Reigning Miss Homecoming smiles for her cheering fans. Enthusiastic cheerleaders arouse spirit for the big game. 9 Junior Miss Hi-Miss Elizabeth Berry Honored as Junior Miss Hi-Miss A ready smile and a willingness to help others characterize Miss Elizabeth Berry, our 1969 Junior Miss-Hi-Miss. Active in school affairs, Elizabeth is a majorette in the band and a member of the French Club, Pep Club, Monogram Club and F.T.A. In her spare time she enjoys majorette practice, talking with friends and at¬ tending youth activites at her church. 10 Senior Miss Hi-Miss Elaine Mull Chosen Miss Hi-Miss Congratulations to Miss Elaine Mull our new Senior Miss Hi- Miss. Miss Mull’s loveliness was proved in the fall of 1968 when she was chosen fairest of the Drexel Fair. Elaine plans to attend Western Carolina University and study journalism. Her hobbies are swimming, sewing, piano, and organ. Annual staff (editor), Pep Club, Beta Club, French Club, and Student Council are a few of her high school activities. She was a freshman and sophomore class officer. Girls show off their “Music” Costumes. A moment to face facts. 12 Sound of Music and I. . Sound of Music Maria the Von Trapp children. This year the students of Drexel High School have done it again. After two years rest from the King and I show, the young people were raring to go. We were lucky enough to acquire the Drexel Community Center for our presentation of The Sound of Music. This is the story of Maria, the young girl who was in prep¬ aration of becoming a nun, but was swept from her feet by the Von Trapp family. She met the Von Trapp family as a governess because she had been put on a type of probation from the con¬ vent. (Mother Abbess felt that Maria needed to search for the purpose of life.) It is a captivating story and the young people enhanced the parts to their fullest. This show, as did the King and L proved that youth can do anything. Beautiful costumes came alive with the glitter of this era of Austrian history. These wardrobes were enchanting for everyone to behold. Director and chief consultant of the show was Mrs. Donald J. McCall. Mrs. McCall is instructor of the advanced English classes at Drexel. Music for the play was supplied through the hard work of Miss Kathryn Siphers, band director at DHS. There was orchestration throughout the performances supplied by our own young scholars from Drexel. This production could have never been presented had it not been for the cooperation of students, teachers, and many citizens throughout the Drexel area. Now we can only covet the memory of this production and look forward to what the next play will be. i Directors in conference. Students take a breather from “The Music.” 13 FIRST ROW: D.

Beta Club tapping and initiation in early spring honored stu¬ dents with outstanding scholastic ability. Those who met the Beta Club’s standards of character and achievement were tapped into the club at the annual service. Jr.-Sr. Prom was the junior class’s main project for the year. Record breaking magazine sales financed this year’s prom honor¬ ing our graduating seniors. Juniors worked hard and their efforts were well appreciated. The special bond between the juniors and seniors was particu¬ larly felt at graduation as juniors fully realized their new responsi¬ bilities and seniors looked toward the future. The Fabulous Tactics. Administration No system can function without someone to tell it how to go. The administration of Drexel High school serves us in this capa¬ city. Student Council, student body, school board, and faculty all join hands to keep the “Drexel machine” in motion. Margaret is always handy when anyone needs a tardy excuse.

Science; Health: P.E. V In Health and P.E. Coach Shull teaches his students good grooming habits. Science-Important Phase of Curriculum Once again the biology lab has opened, and bright-eyed sopho¬ mores peer through microscopes, fascinated by the minute world of living cells. Thoughts of slimy worms and long legged frogs made everyone cringe, but disecting them was an excellent way to study the anatomy of animals. Students also learned much about the structure of plants by writing research papers. “What a time to take a shower!” That is what many freshmen say after a tough game of basketball in their P.E. class. Learning the rules of many sports enables Drexel students to participate more openly in extra-curricular activities. Besides mastering physi¬ cal skills, students are learning to practice good sportsmanship. In the science department there is a new teacher, Mr. Ernest Morgan. He has brought with him many new ideas and methods of teaching science. One way was to use mouse traps to demonstrate the concept of atoms to his students Mr. Ernest Morgan BS ASU Physical Science Chemistry Mrs. Hilda McNeely BS Elon Biology Mr. Merlin B. Shull MA ASU; AB Lenoir Rhyne Health; P.E. Assistant Principal 18 r.T T i • N t, Mr. Morgan shows students how to simplify chemistry problems by using a slide rule. Through the use of plastic models, Mrs. McNeely is able to teach more effectively. Names of elements and their atom structures on the ceiling help students learn the Periodic Chart. 19 Social Studies History in the Making History was in the making this election year, and D. H. S. students got into the action by casting their votes at the school “polls.” Discussion in class helped everyone understand how the election proceedures work. World History and Economics- Sociology students had the opportunity to watch the Apollo VIII “splash down” by way of television. They also learned about the stability of their nation’s finances and the large-scale businesses in the U.S. Mr. Hemphill stressed the importance of filling out a correct income tax form. This information was especially bene¬ ficial for many of the students who work part time. Through the use of visual aids, films, and records, U.S. History was expressed more clearly. For many juniors, turning in term papers was the biggest event of the year and quite a relief for everyone. Sociology class came alive when world problems as poverty and sickness were discussed openly among students, and as answers were sought. In U.S. History, Mrs. Sutton lectures on the events leading up to the Civil War. Glenda Sigmon, Denise Epley, Ronald Stephens, and Joel Sigmon drew this poster for a history project. Mr. Hemphill encourages his classes to discuss openly matters of local, state, and national government.

Mrs. Sutton teaches in such a way that all of her classes are interesting. 21 Typing I students learn parts of typewriter and keyboard. Mr. Robinson is always willing to help students who have trouble with Algebra. Every year the business department increases its number of students. There are many courses offered for the business minded person ranging from general business to shorthand and book¬ keeping. He also includes Typing I and II in his curriculum, be¬ cause they will be useful courses if he goes to college or enters a business of his own. Not only does he learn to type, but he also learns to use various machines such as the adding calculator or the dictaphone. For the mathematical minded person, the high school cur¬ riculum offers a varied number of courses. Ranging from general math to advanced math, everyone has the opportunity to take the subjects which he can do best. Business: Math Business and Math Departments Expand Mrs. Georgia K. Cates BS Campbell Typing I, Shorthand General Business Mr. Jack Robinson BS ASU General Math, Geometry Physics, Algebra II Mrs. Nancy R. Clark BS ASU Bookkeeping, Typing I, II Mr. Reynolds R.

Electricity is one of the larger fields studied in their physics’ class. Freshman find Algebra I easier because of the helpful guidance of Mr. Hollifield. 23 English; Library Drexel students in search of a place to collect their thoughts and pull themselves together always head toward the library, where there is complete quietness and books to occupy their minds. Lecturing her class, Mrs. McNeil discusses the Romans and Julius Caesar as to their literary contributions. “Hey! Wait a minute! Who asked you to play anyway?” Mrs. Westbrook’s class seems to be enjoying their English period as they fight to see who can win a treachous game of Scrabble. Even though Moochie doesn’t want anymore compet itors, Ren ee says, “Aw, come on and join us!” 24 Mrs. Adelaide C. Westbrook AB Meredith English Mrs. Gail McNeil MA ASU; AB Milligan English Basic Tools of Learning Mrs. Westbrook’s junior English class tried a new technique this year which enabled them to learn more words and build their interests in vocabulary. Venturing into her class, one was sure to trip over three or four busy characters with a Scrabble game right in the center of a table. Not only did this method give students a chance to study, but allowed them to have fun and relax, too. Mrs. Westbrook also let her class present a skit, “The Princess Inter¬ venes.” Mrs. McNeil’s English classes are busily at work doing book reports and regular grammar, so Mrs. McNeil informed us. There is nothing like studying English in an English class! Mrs. Abernethy has been a wonderful help to each student wishing to find information on term papers, research papers, and other educational needs. As our librarian, she has given us a var¬ iety of books and a cheerful smile to guide us each day. Mrs. Abernethy reminds each student at D.H.S. to remember that the library is just that-a library. Mrs. Silver M. Abernethy BS ASU Librarian Ready to help her students at any convenient time, Mrs. Westbrook supervises the work of one of her students during a study period. Always keeping a close check on the books that seem to be most helpful to students, Mrs. Abernethy makes sure she has them available for future use. Language So this is where advanced English meets! Sure, French is fun. Right, Mrs. Gregory? Mrs. Stover gives recitation of “The Duck” for French class. 26 Expanding in Languages Philosophy was the main course of study for advanced English students during the first half of the year. Such prominent philosophers as Sigmund Freud, Zeno, and Sartre were a few out of many to be discussed. Several trips have already taken place this year. Some in the class went to Charlotte to hear Archibald MacLeish, an American poet, reciting some of his poetry. On their way home the group stopped in Hickory to see the film of the Broadway play West Side Story . Antigone was next on the agenda for advanced English. An event which proved to be quite thrilling was the lecture given by astronaut Scott Carpenter. Mrs. McCall always urges each of her students to attend these trips to enlighten their creative ability. The senior French class has been studying French history by Francois Rabelais under the supervision of Mrs. Stover. Those who take French always appreciate the concern of Mrs. Stover and Mrs. Gregory. French students recite oral lessons. Claywell, Freud, and sex-what a way to go!

Miss Gigi Grill BA Mary Washington Drama Miss Betsy Hairfield ABT High Point Art 28 New Challenges for Students S tudents interested in the finer arts were selected to participate in the Burke County Cultural Heritage program at D. H. S. Each student shares a special interest through writing. Earlier in the year the creative writing class attended a play presented by the Winston-Salem School of Art, “She Stoops to Conquer.’ ' The high¬ light of the trip was a visit backstage with players to ask a myriad of questions. Several field trips have been planned for those who wish to enrich their cultural appreciation. Mrs. Marilyn Williams stresses each individual to express his emotions and ideas through original creations. Another new aspect for our talented students is the art class instructed by Miss Betsy Hairfield. Such techniques as pencils, ink, and charcoal sketching, crayon etching, and wood block printing were studied in the first semester. Miss Gigi Grill has been coaching the drama class in various methods such as pantomimes and improvisations. Through this exciting program we are sure to produce some genuine artists who will enhance the cultural needs of the U.S. Not only do these classes provide education, but a great amount of experience, also. Imaginations “run wild” in creative writing. New art class proves to be a success with talented students at D.H.S. “Are you ready? Uh-one anda-two anda-go, gang!” says Miss Siphers as she leads her band each day. 29 ' wnitra . citim? ■ IK I.C.T. students learn numerous terms used in the business world. Mr. Hildebran discusses various selling methods with his D.E. students. Vocation Career Opportunities Through Vocational Studies Graphic Arts students learn to print pictures for the school newspaper. Vocational arts play an important part in the school cur¬ riculum. Almost every girl includes home economics in her studies. Most of them realize the need of extra training in such areas as cooking, sewing, good grooming, and child care. Boys interested in wood crafts are urged to take industrial arts. A new addition in the past few years is the Graphic Arts De¬ partment, which has aided many students in learning the funda¬ mental rules of newspaper printing. They have published many types of bulletins, programs, and newspapers for the student body. Experience in such a course is an excellent way to prepare for a future career in the printing trade. 1. C. T. and D. E. are also important classes for students desiring to learn more about the business world. In I. C. T. the basic skills of various industries are taught; in D. E. students are presented the qualities of good salesmanship. They gain helpful experience by working in various department stores and factories after class. 30 These girls made their outfits in Home Ec. and modeled them in a fashion show. Mrs. Lena W.

Annual Staff Annual Staff Sweats Through Big Change Elaine Mull, Editor; Debby Hallyburton, Co-Editor. Innovation and change meant excitement and headache for this year’s Cavalcade staff. Changing publishing companies brought with it problems as well as new and better ideas for the Cavalcade. We started off with good intentions of turning the upstairs room of the teacherage into a private workroom. But after our original paint job of gray and white walls, the idea really fell through! We didn’t even progress to the carpeted floor. Other than destruction with the paint, we are rather proud of our accomplish¬ ments. With the help of Mrs. Donald McCall, the annual has been updated a great deal. “Action” is what’s happening in the world of yearbooks. Although some things have been omitted this year, we hope the new substitutions will win the approval of the student body. Selling adds, writing copy, and cropping pictures created much confusion, but the spring arrival of the Cavalcade will have been worth it all! J. Claywell, S. Baker, D. McKee, L. Griffin, T.

The Student Council, composed of elected representatives from each homeroom, has done a good job working to bring school officicials, faculty members, and students into closer contact for better understanding and cooperation. The members have devel¬ oped leadership and insured a spirit of democracy at D.H.S. quite well. TOP TO BOTTOM: R. Stephens, T. Poteet, M. McNeely, D. Hamrick, E. McNeely, B. Griffin, S. Huffman, T.

Journalistic geniuses of 1968-69 Paper Staff. Editors reassure Mr. Cooper. One of the organizations which has contributed a great deal to D.H.S. is the paper staff. Every month they work furiously to prepare a paper that is more interesting and exciting than the one before. Under the leadership of co-editors Debby Hallyburton and Pat Cooper, the WOLVERINE SCENE is even greater than ever. Using the facilities of the Graphic Arts Department, printing editor Randy Smith helped process a paper which was both pro¬ fessional and colorful. A want ads section was added along the Groovy, Graveyard, Goodies dedications which aroused en¬ thusiasm in students who awaited the new editions. Copies sold like hot cakes, and before long the school news had reached every homeroom. Hats off to all those who worked so patiently to pro¬ duce another successful year of the WOLVERINE SCENE. 37 Beta Club Achievement Creates Character True dedication. Elected to hold offices in the Beta Club, President Rita Franklin, Vice-President Judy Dean and Secretary-Treasurer Brenda Webb lead the club in numerous activities under the sponsorship of Mrs. Maude Stover. Among their activites were making posters for the Homecoming events and preparing for the high school chapel. Chosen because of their scholastic averages and conduct, selected members of the Beta Club make a pleasing example for all the admiring students. Officers of club display leadership. Character and leadership is their motto! 38 Monogram; Pep Participating Members Have Support of Spirited Fans Promoting school spirit, the Pep and Monogram clubs carry out projects for encouraging students to be active in many school activities. Both clubs are full of vim, vigor, and vitality, building up the competitive spirit among the members of our athletic teams. With the leadership of the cheerleaders these clubs stand behind their teams, win or lose. Proudly we boast of these two clubs for their continuing support. Now there’s a spirited group of students! One can see how proud they are. 39 F.H.A. F.H.A. Keeps Active D.H.S. is extremely proud of the active F.H.A. organization this year. Some of this year’s activities include the representation of Drexel’s girls at the District VIII Rally, October 26 at Marion High and the Burke County Officer’s Training Workshop, October 14 at Morganton High. At Christmas, F.H.A. members sent gifts to rest home residents. During the State Convention on May 17 at Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh, Edwina McNeely and Carolyn Vinson received their state degree. Drexel is very proud of Mrs. Reynolds Hollifield and her work with this active group. Dr. Lang lectures on health. F.H.A. installs new officers. Members look “Toward New Horizons r One day a teacher? F.T.A. Future Teachers of America Progress in Education Before school on Thursday morning, F.T.A. members meet and have their regular discussions about the teaching profession. This year the membership has been larger than in many previous ones. The members worked hard in trying to promote the Bond Issue. Pamphlets were distributed to many homes in the community. The purpose of this club is to help the members decide if the teaching profession is the career for them. Officers were elected as follows: Debbie Poteat, President; Dianne Bridges, Vice-president; Elizabeth Berry, Secretary; and Cindy Gober, Treasurer. Hope¬ fully, the members of today will be the teachers of tomorrow. Mrs. Sutton serves as sponsor and is a former member of the F.T.A. 41 Deca; Vica Future Businesses Lie In Hands of Youth Busy Vica Club members take time to pose for picture. With the expert advice and leadership of the sponsors, Mr. Franklin and Mr. Hildebran, the Deca and Vica Clubs are an active part of D.H.S. These two programs form a link between the school and the businessman. Students involved in the clubs attend regular meetings and participate in state and county-wide meetings. Both clubs visited Wamsutta, Alba Waldensian and toured Western Carolina Center which proved to be very educational and inspiring to each member. “All right, who’s the guilty one?” 42 French; Library Our World Is Expanded Through Languages and Books nil mm 1 MI: Li hHL m i _ m Students find a new world through books. Along with the world of languages, education is expanded at D.H.S. through books. Mrs. Ralph Abemethy, librarian, is the sponsor of the Library Club. The purpose of this club is to assist Mrs. Abemethy during study periods and to promote better under¬ standing through books. Officers were elected during the first meeting of the French Club. They were chosen as follows: Sherry Baker, President; Rita Franklin, Vice-president; Pat Cooper, Program chairman; and Brenda Webb, Social chairman. Members study French language and culture. Miss Kathryn Siphers Drexel’s esteemed band director 44 Football game’s band entertainment. Band Marching Wolverines Excitement has been the by-word for the Drexel High School Band during 1968-69 beginning with a trip to Bristol, where the band was a guest of the Howard Johnson’s Motel. Later last fall the band journeyed toward the flatlands of Chapel Hill for the Band Day festivities of the University of North Carolina. Though weather was a little damp, the trip was most enjoyable. Guided by the compotent leadership of Miss Kathryn Siphers, the band has had great success in all their performances this year. Under Miss Siphers’ direction the band has made ten Superiors at Bristol and numerous honors at the Western North Carolina Concert Contest held at Marion. The climax of all the year’s activity came with the composition of a stereo album featuring several songs the band had practiced throughout the year. The celebrated Drexel High School Band.

Above pictures illustrate the superb Bristol performance given by the band last October. The theme this year was “Music from Popular Shows,” with such numbers as “Camelot,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “Whistle a Happy Tune,” and “Born Free.” Over fifty bands attend the annual festivities at Bristol. These bands come from all parts of the Eastern United States. A huge parade with all the bands marches through the streets of Bristol and past the judges’ stand. Most of the bands spend long hours in preparation for this festival. Drexel is unique in that it is one the few bands to require complete memorization of music from each student. Band majorettes highlighted the Bristol performance with their exclusive style and beauty. The majorettes for this year were as follows: Paul Sain (Head), Debby Abee, Elizabeth Berry, and Regina Cannon. These cute girls crown the band’s performance in parades and other public performances. Drexel’s majorettes proved their capabilities by receiving a superior rating at Bristol. A few months after Bristol is when those Christmas parades begin with floats, pretty girls, clowns, and of course, Old Saint Nick. Last year Drexel took part in the Valdese and Morganton parades. It was a very good year. 47 Bus Drivers Orange Demon Drivers Ride Again TOP: J. Poteet, N. Lippard, J. Poteat, J. Bollinger. BOTTOM: R. Cline, S. Deal, D. Cozort, R. Smith, D. McKee, B. Dellinger, B.

Well maybe not the best, but the cheerleaders have had the experience. Begin¬ ning early in July, they started preparing for the coming season by attending cheerleading camp at Ferrum Junior College. While there they captured a second place in the daily competition. Bringing back to school many new ideas and cheers, the squad gave the student body a glimpse of the new cheers at the first pep rally of the season. Continuing their enthusiasm throughout the season, they performed special skits that spirited and amused the students. FIRST ROW: R. Randall, B. Webb. SECOND ROW: D. McKee, E.

The Wolverines’ only problem was the fact that they never do what is expected of them. The entire season was marked by upsets, for and against. Drexel traveled to Maiden for the first game and lost to the larger school. Being a nonconference game, the loss was not too important. It only filled the Wolverines with desire to meet their ancient rivals, the Green Wave of Glen Alpine. What would school be without pep rallies? 64 T. Cox 72 J. Holt 70 J. Entzi 50 M. Harris 84 T.

Drexel clashed with mighty Glen Alpine for the second game of the season. The Green Wave had proved its strength by defeating Morganton the previous week. If the Wolverines were to take the Skyline Conference championship, Glen Alpine had to be beaten. Nobody considered that Drexel had a chance, but as usual the Wolverines surprised everyone. Before a large crowd of 2500 Drexel showed it could score again and again against the future Skyline champions. A brilliant run by Moochie Whisnant was nullified by a cl ippinp penalty Later DrexeTscored ' mrpass from Tom Smith to Malone McNeely. But Glen Alpine showed its powerful offense and scored nineteen points. The score was definitely in favor of the Green Wave, but the statistics showed Drexel to be the victor. No other team in the Skyline Conference would give Glen Alpine as much competition. Drexel decided that it was time for a win. Old Fort was next and with them the losing streak ended.

Drexel Wolverines charge onto the field. Three consecutive games which followed displayed Drexel’s ability to play good, bad, and mediocre ball. In the victory over Old Fort (13-7) Drexel played mediocre ball. Then came the first disaster. Drexel was scheduled to play Charlotte Country Day., This private school, having no lights, was played in the afternoon. The long trip and seventy degree heat proved too much for the Wolverines. Although Drexel scored first, Charlotte came back with four touchdowns of their own. Drexel’s offense could not get started again and the defense never really got off the ground. The 27-6 loss made the long trip home even longer. Drexel linemen block for long run. After warm-ups Wolver¬ ines return to locker. Jacob Fullwood crashes through Hibriten line.

Despite the fact that it was an away game at Salem and their homecoming, Drexel came away with an easy victory. After Salem, Drexel played in two more homecoming games. Polk Central fielded the most spirited team that Drexel would meet. But it was more than spirit that handed the Wolverines a 34-7 loss. The third straight homecoming game that Drexel played in was the most important. It was ours, and the Wolves made a success with a victory. Drexel’s score against Oak Hill was set npZ hv .t his long run hv M n nrhia —, Whisnant. Strong defense played big part in Oak Hill game. Whisnant and Claywell bring down Oak Hill runner. 55 Now, Coach, don’t blow your cool! Best were the next three games. The first one was a “jewel” to say the least. For the second straight year Oak Hill (undefeated and untied) came up against Drexel hoping to extend its record. Tire Bulldogs were strong favorites, but Wolverines don’t care for unfavorable predictions. In three inches of mud the two teams fought a mighty defensive battle ending in a tie. Oak Hill was lucky to escape without a loss, considering that Drexel’s attempted point after struck the upright and bounced the wrong way. Just as exciting was the NCSD contest. History again repeated itself as the Bears edged by Drexel (7-6). The Wolverines never really got moving until the last game, a rematch with Salem. Drexel marched down the field everytime they got the ball. The Wolves were out for revenge and Salem was the only team left. The 39-13 victory made the 4-5-1 record easier to swallow. But Drexel is building, and in a couple of years the Wolves will be the team to beat. TIME HOME m Pl«V V151TQT ' PERIOD 3 ' TO GO Nice way to end the season. Coach Clark and his muscle man.

This proves that football is coming back to Drexel bigger than ever. Led by Coach Hoyte Cooper, the Junior Wolverines played the toughest schedule of recent years, including games against such teams as Morganton and Valdese. They posted a 44 record, the best since 1963. These favorable points make the future of football look more promising than it has looked for several years. Glen Alpine may dominate the sport now, but Wolverines have never been satisfied with anything but the best. Boys Basketball STANDING: Coach Cooper; FRONT ROW: J. Fullwood and K. Berry.

Coach Jack Robinson and his healing touch. “Have you got the spirit?” During the ’68-’69 basketball season, the Drexel boys’ team not only showed the spirit of a winning team, but the teamwork as well. In the Drexel lineup, there were some of the most talented boys in the conference. To begin with, the team hadd SUPER STARS like “Yankee” Tom Smith and Keith Berry, whose main delights were scoring points. Then there were guys like Mike Harris, Malone McNeely, and Johnny Poteat, who enhanced the team play. The season got off to a slow start, but really picked up the steam as the boys started playing basketball. Inexperience plagued the squad, for there were only a few veterans playing. The responsibility of winning rested mainly on the shoulders of the rookie players. This year the team was coached by two of the finest coaches on the staff at Drexel, Mr. Jack Robinson and Mr. Hoyte Cooper. Although basketball is not a new sport to these men, they were newcomers to the varsity squad. Coaches Robinson and Cooper agreed that Drexel really displayed the talent each game. Both coaches did a commendable job coaching the team. Yes, the school was proud of the fellows for the effort they put forth each game and for proving that Drexel is always in the running. In the future, fans, DREXEL WILL BRING THE CROWN HOME! Johnny Poteat fights under the basket. “I see that hand.” Tom Smith up for the ball.

Facing a year of rebuilding, the Drexel High School Wolverettes “fought their hearts out,” but could not completely overcome problems of inexperience. Consequently, the end of the season found this year’s squad near the bottom in regular season play. This was certainly heartbreaking after having had winning seasons in 1967 and 1968, emerging as Skyline Conference champions and runners-up in the play-offs. To discover the problems that the girls, team faced, the 1969 Cavalcade staff interviewed the coach, Mrs. Dottie Perkins. Question: “Mrs. Perkins, the team had a slow season this year, after having won the conference title the past two. What was the over-all problem?” Mrs. P. “Our biggest problem was inexperience. I lost all my starters from last year’s squad except one, Judy Lowman. Some of the girls had played very Little in the past and weren’t used to the pressures involved. I think too, that our team lacked the winning enthusiasm. After playing with a winning ball club, it is hard for the girls to lose and still maintain their spirit.” Question: “What were the strong and weak points?” Mrs. P.: “1 think height was one of our strong points. Judy Low- man, Kathy Rector, Beverly Griffin and Rita Ross had the height we needed. We were fairly strong in defense, although at times we didn’t show it. Our weakest point ' was our scoring ability. We just were not consistent enough. Also we couldn’t move the ball down court as well as we should have.” Question: “What are the hopes for the future team?” Mrs. P.: “The girls we have now will gain experience and really play ball for us in the future. The Roupe girls will be good ballplayers for us next year. Of course, Michael U’ren, Kathy Rector and Beverly Griffin will be back next year. Ann Byrd will do well for the team as will Rosalyn Kincaid. There are some rising freshmen who will be assets to the ballteam. With much work and determination, we can be a winning team again.” In this interview, Mrs. Perkins urged fans to attend the games to support the girls. So fans, we must do our part in contribution to winning season. Let the battle cry be: COME ON GIRLS WE RE WITH YOU! Sometimes the going gets rough. Here Coach Perkins aids an in jured player. 61 Track and Golf Spring Shifts Interest to Track, Golf, and Baseball D.H.S. track team, coached by Dean Clark, made its strongest showing in relays and the discus throw. In the conference meet, Drexel finished fourth in both the 440 and 880 relays. Bill Gantt took first place in the discus throw. The young team should be much stronger this year. Drexel’s young golf team, made up of two juniors and the rest under classmen, posted an 8-2 record. Sophomore Mike Harris, aided by key performances from Randy Treadway, Jack ClayweU, and John Holt, pulled out the winning season. With the same team back this year the record will be even better. a few lessons. FIRST ROW: K. Berry, J. Claywell, B. Gantt, J. Fullwood and D. Whis SECOND ROW: Coach Clark, J. Brendle, S.

But without one other natural resource these functions are useless. Thank goodness Drexel High School is rich in interested students. From the “green freshmen” running to classes and those wise, foolish sophomores, all the way to the joking juniors and experienced seniors, every student makes Drexel come alive. What is a school without loafers, jokers, bubble gum chewers, talkers, studiers, and even some thinkers? So here they are, the familiar faces that make Drexel live and breathe. These faces are responsible for all the changes. 64 «? ■ 1 65 l mm 1 . 4 ■? Wl 4jT 1 Eighth Grade Prepares for High School Although the 1969 graduates of Drexel Elementary are leaving, they will not forget the preparations and memories they gathered in years behind them. Already the eighth grades have adjusted to changing classes and crowded halls, yet they must face the reality of growing up. Now they have completed one milestone of their education. But up ahead is the excitingly different world of high school. Up ahead is a step nearer their hopes, dreams and future. And another bids farewell . .

Freshmen Soon Adjust to Fast DHS Pace From the First day at D.H.S. the freshmen were confronted with numerous issues in their new enviornment: remembering locker combinations, mounting stairs, and finding their way around the campus. In the midst of harder courses, students found themselves caught up in a faster pace. During the football and basketball seasons the freshmen took their place with the upper classmen in cheering their team and fellow students to victory. Freshmen know now that they are an important part of the Drexel High School student body. With the help of Dennis Hamrick, the class president, this class has successfully completed and brought to an end a busy year and looks forward to a new year of bright prospects and goals. The experience gained as freshmen should carry through the following three years in high school and out into the adult life. After graduation they will realize that their freshmen year was one of the four greatest in their lives. 67 Freshmen Debbie Abee Dolph Aberneathy Sheila Aberneathy Edward Angel Charlie Anthony Winona Anthony Peggy Ayers Denise Baird Darrell Baldridge Dennis Baldridge Larry Banner Ray Barnett Joyce Bass Dale Berry Glenn Bingham Rocky Bowman Francis Branch” Wayne Branch Elaine Brinkley Greta Brownin g Steve Buff Jeanie Burns Claudia Canipe Terry Cannon Eddie Carroll Brenda Carswell Jean Carswell Linda Carswell Dennis Carter Janet Clarke Melvin Clarke Glenda Cline Debbie Cobb Willa Cooke Denise Coope r Debbie ICraia !rotts Brenda C Emit Duckworth Regina Earley Jack Ernst,- J Shirley Estes Rptin Fircaj l ■Kandy Fend Kathy-PIetc her Vanessa Franklin Dorcas Golightly Sammy Griffin Bobbie Groves Cathy Gurley Dennis Hamrick Sonny Hensley 68 Freshmen Elaine Hogjn- Audrey Horn Steve Huffman Marvella Hunt Larry Ingram Mike Jackson Virginia Justus Debby Keaton Donnie LaFevers Linda Long Debby Markham Steve McCall Bobby Michaels Alvin Morgan Kathy N ewto n Buddy Nichols Bruce Queen Nei]_£i£ts___ 7lm Angie Powell Trudie Powell David Price David Pritchard Debby Reinhart Audrey Rockett Jane Roupe Da ryl Smit h ' Jim Smith, ' Penny Smith Carol Sigmon Alice Singleton Janice Stamey Mary Stamey Shirley Stamey Vickie Stamey Leslie Stilwell Freshmen Debbie Stroup Judy Taylor Vickie Travis Joe Watts Judy Whisenant Denise Williams Bennett Wood Brenda Waycaster Dennis Walker Becky Watts David Wyatt Jerry Yoder 70 The sophomore officers are as follows: L.

All the pain, agony, and torture of being “green freshmen” is in the past. Finding a niche for themselves in the history of D.H.S., sophomores look to the future with excitement and anticipation of what may lie ahead in their years at D.H.S. Besides several starring in school sports, the sophomores have contributed greatly to the support and well-being of Drexel High. Although they are still under classmen, the sophomores deserve a great deal of credit in making Drexel an outstanding school.

They are leaving behind them outstanding accomplishments and high goals for next year’s juniors to follow. This was clearly demonstrated when they sold magazines to earn money for thy Junior-Senior Prom.

Seniors Face Biggest Change of All Entering Drexel High School in 1965 gave many frightened freshmen a feeling of excitement, and also of expectation of the year that they would become seniors. At the time, they looked forward to leaving the familiar halls of the school to build their own future. For four short years, they have studied and participated in various activities. One cherished priviledge of becoming a senior, is to take part in the homecoming procedures. Although the Senior year is crowded with plans of commencement and after-graduation, there is left some time for studying. These four years have been trying at times for the seniors, but they also have been ones of fulfillment. Amid the frustrations, failures, and disappointments, these will be years the seniors of Drexel High will long remember. 77 Seniors Linda Abee Jan Anthony Sherry Baker Bruce Bingham James Bollinger Larry Branch Pauline Branch Thad Brendle Most likely to succeed in what?

Top Four Juniors Honored Steve Whisenant Tom Smith Denise Epley Faculty Mrs. Stover’s Retirement Changes French Department Mrs. Maude Stover will be retiring this year, and Drexel High School will not be quite the same without her. In the twenty four years Mrs. Stover has been at Drexel, she has accomplished much for the betterment of the school, especially in the French department. In 1960 she started a new four year program, the first in the Burke County school system. She directed all the senior plays up to three years ago when they were discontinued. Mrs. Stover has continually been a friend to students and has provided guidance for many. Her unfailing faith in people and in their abilities has been an inspiration to students and to fellow faculty members. She has not only provided an academic program for her French students but also a spiritual one. Yes, Drexel appreciates all the small things Mrs. Stover has done for the school, for the small changes have built a greater and better institution. Mrs. Stover is patient and understanding with all her students. She shows determination by learning to drive. 94 Madame Stover Merci et Bon Voyage Dedication And Here’s to You Mr, Robinson . . . Mr. Robinson: inspiring teacher, hard-working coach, and above all, friend. His untiring effort, ever ready humor, and sincere concern have flavored his classes and our lives. For him we have tried to become better students and stronger citizens. Our debt can never be paid, but with the dedication of this 1969 edition of the Cavalcade we humbly wish to say thank you. 95 DREXEL FURNITURE, INC Socks from DREXEL DREXEL KNITTING MILLS COMPANY 97 RADER’S IGA BURKE DAIRY, INC P. 0.
