Smith Senior High School. As seniors we have toiled under the study lamp, fought and won a State Championship, and danced under the soft lights of the Prom. We know we must now take our individual paths toward the future, but we leave each other not with great anxiety, as we had anticipated two years ago, but with a touch of regret as we look back and remem- ber THOSE CHER 4 • • TSHED DA YS m 5 ' ' Bl jEw sggl w ' : % ll Behind every prosperous nation, there is a great President. Behind every great man there is a woman who has encouraged him to endeavor, and behind every successful organization is a great leader who helps to uphold and maintain the standards of that organization. As President of the Parent-Teacher’s Association, you have stood for the ideals, standards, and traditions of E. E. Smith. While you served as President, band uniforms were purchased which en- abled the “Marching 100” to perform, a beautiful organ was paid for, football jerseys were secured, and other useful projects were done to help our school. Others worked diligently with you to achieve these goals, but recognition cannot be given to everyone. Through your leadership and concern, the students here at E. E. Smith have been able to enjoy the things that would add to the curriculum of any school. We know that without your help the days we have spent here could not have been as happy and enjoyable. We hope that in years to come there will be others who will show just as much interest as you have in youth. To you, Mr. William Swann, we the members of the 1968 class, dedicate this edition of the Smithsonian. With deep esteem and appreciation, we say to you “thanks” for helping us to love those cher- ished days. IN GRA TEFUL RECOGNITION . . . MR. WILLIAM SWANN -MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR— As you leaf through the pages of the Smithsonian, it will probably be just another edition, but to those of us who worked on it, it represents a year of hard work, determination, exasperation and sometimes en- joyment. It ail began in September when all of the staff members were willing and eager to work. Carefully, they posted pictures of time, date, and places for re- questing needed information. Surely this year, the mistakes of past years could be avoided. But some- how, many of the same mistakes were made and a few new ones were added. There was, for instance, the matter of those who could not arrange to be at the designated places to take pictures. The photographers did not realize that two or three weeks later was too late, and that their pictures could not be stuck just “some place in the book.” The yearbook staff members-” they who began to work so eagerly-” began to find excuses for not at- tending meetings. “The library, they said, took too much of their time.” The teachers, they said, gave long assignments.” All too often the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Editor and four or five more members found themselves working alone. Now we aren’t complaining. There were always those students who cooperated and there was always our adviser to keep our spirits up when our morale was down. Finally, the book was off to the press, but the job was not done yet. Proofs had to be read and reread, and the book eventually had to be circulated. Now that the job is all behind us, we feel very proud of ourselves, and feel that this SMITHSONIAN shall be the best ever published in the history of the school. Today it may be just another yearbook, but tomor- row, and in the future it will become a treasured pos- session, for in it we will find a year of life that can never be recaptured except in our memories. Byron Simms Editor in chief SENIOR MESSAGE A thoughtful reflection of the past year has shown that many changes have occured since we entered E. E. Smith Senior High School. The past three years have seen the development of a student body that has accepted a challenge and strived to make the best of it. When we entered E. E. Smith we accepted the challenge of becoming the potential leaders of the world. We now see that many of our fellow classmates are fast becoming these potential leaders. Through the rigor of the day to day life here at E. E. Smith the emergence of useful and educated citizens may be seen. I challenge you, the class of 1968, to continue to uphold the high standards and traditions which have been set forth. Grasp every opportunity for growth and make the best language labs, science labs and any others that higher education may offer. Keep in mind always respect for others, honesty, moral character and desirable attributes of good citizenship. You will soon be uncovered from the protective wraps of this school. It will be up to you, wherever you go, to carry the name of your high school in pride and dignity and forever to uphold the name of E. E. Smith Senior High School.

E. MILLER To the Seniors: It is with a deep sense of pride that I tender hearty congratulations and “thanks” to you for your accomplish- ments, and for your contributions to your Alma Mater. E. E. Smith’s grounds, buildings, equipment, and faculty have grown with you. Our first game was played on the E. E. Smith Athletic Field your freshman year, and you were among the first to use the facilities of our new library which bears the honored name of Ida Cogdell Fowler. Most important in the school’s growth; however, is the quality of its students. You have been students with a sense of vision and proportion, full of energy, maturing, forming in character, and learning to live together. You have given many hours to serious study and contemplation. In short, you have been E. E. Smith’s heartbeat. In a world that is changing at a greatly accelerated pace, you will be faced with the obligation to make many fate- ful decisions. “The right decisions will be those that you make on the basis of information, intelligence, and concern for others rather than for yourself.” You must be concerned with problems which confront “all men.” The answers that you will need for life’s biggest questions will not all be found between the covers of a book. You will have to search relentlessly, within yourself, for these truths. Above all, I hope that your educational development here has taught you how to “think.” Remember always the honored name of E. E. Smith, its record for scholarship, for fair dealing, and for turning out capable men and women. You must uphold that record and add to its greatness. Propose never to be unworthy of your school and the opportunities it has afforded you. She needs the love and loyalty of all her sons and daugh- ters. You have my prayers and b est wishes for prolonged happiness and outstanding success in your chosen career. 18 SENIORS “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.

As we venture to leave we review our school years, The moments of happiness, the moment of tears, Being bonded by common goals and fears, A friendship developed for classmates so dear A surge of sadness to say our good-byes. Each daily task solders a link in our chain, And we know there are many more links that remain. We must cement them with love in our soul, And no matter where we go cherish the blue and gold. In life we are becoming and I hope well see. That we are now molding into what we will be. In our hearts there’s a light with an infinite glow, To remind us we’re Smithites wherever we go. A light that’s a beacon for our hopes and dreams And promotes a zest for competent means. Our generation will be known by what we do, So we’re compelled the best to pursue. This challenge alone should make us strive harder To use the great gifts from our Alma Mater. These gifts and God’s love makes a wonderful team. To move with success in fulfilling our dreams.

We had our first talk with Mr. Miller, after which we washed windows. Thus, we discovered the cause for Smith’s high sanitation rating. We tumbled and two-stepped, marched to the cadences of the physical education teachers and danced gaily on the grid-iron green on May Day. We made the same mistakes that some of you made. We cut the lunch lines, were prevented from eating lunch, made poor grades, and came to school just to be popular. We did not seek wisdom and knowledge until we became Seniors. Our ultimate goals were to prepare for the future. Some of us succeeded and some of us didn’t. We challenge you to make a good start when you return, in September, and reach for the stars! The Senior Class “ 68 ” 75 76 77 . . . from the beginning to the end. 79 The Bullpen is awaiting the return of the Mighty Golden Bulls. SEPTEMBER . .

Rushing to meet that term paper deadline, Maxine Tysor, Byron Sims, and Naomi Kerr burn midnight oil. . . . Those warm days of Indian summer will always be remembered. As the season changed, so changed the students. The time for play was over, hard work lay ahead. A serious atmosphere domi- nated the campus as the results of the first reporting period were revealed. October, usually the month of ghosts, goblins and practical jokes, was for most Smithites a time for important future plan- ning. College Day prompted many Seniors to think realistically about the future for all too soon those precious days of October were gone and it was . . . During the lunch recess, Queen Richardson and Gerald McKoy en- joy the last bit of October sunshine. After a long day, students head for homeroom check. to bq O As the air became crisp and the sun was seen less and less, the eyes of Smithites were lit with the anticipation of a glorious month. The atmosphere was one of excitement, beauty and victory as November unfolded into one of our greatest history makers. Roseline McKinney captured one of the school’s highest honors, Miss Homecoming. The gaeity and fanfare of events leading up to and following the election was unequalled by any other class. Perhaps this could have been attributed to a fine football squad which with its determination and fight won game after game and filled the student body with joy, anxiety and excitement. On that cold rainy night of November, the golden Bulls met the challenge of Paisley High in Winston-Salem. In a battle throughout the rain the Bulls suppressed the challenge and emerged victorious, hauling home the highest honor in secondary school football. With pride and honor the Golden Bulls handed the State 4A championship to E. E. Smith. With several great historical achievements tucked under their belts the senior class was ready to enjoy the coming holiday season. . . .

DECEMBER • • DA YS OF GOOD CHEER AND BEST WISHES f CHRISTMAS CONCERT 91 ‘Watch out! Here comes THE DUCK!’ James Simpson cuts 4th hour English again. Mr. Carver penny-pinches. Storming out of the Christmas party. The Bulls stomp the Ligon Little Blues. Bringing to a close an old but good year, December was a month of reflection on a calendar year gone by. The few days in school before Christmas vacation were spent in anticipation of gifts of love and a new year coming. Parent-teacher conference was held in the primary part of this month. Parents received reports of our progress thus far and we, the students at home, wondered what those teachers were saying about us. As the days for our holiday vacation approached, we pre- pared for our Christmas dinner and our Christmas party. We, the graduating class of “68”, looked upon this month as a symbol. It was to us one of the two major endings of this school year. And all too soon December was dying out hand-in-hand with 1967 and, just around the corner was . . . 1 . m “Tis the season to be jolly.” The Tempoes: added delight to half-time activities. JANUARY . . . Annie and Vivian offer Jennifer a friendly assist. Winter Brings Blis- tering Cold And Yet Welcome Relief Students flocked back to school after an all too short vacation only to be met by the inevitable mid- terms, and another reporting period. Tension was high and cramming was the “in” thing. But amidst all these worries an unexpected snowstorm brought a two day holiday. Bain practices for typing test. 94 Ellis Jones seems to be suffering from post-exam blues. On the last day of exams we gathered in the gymnasium for a special assembly. Mr. Miller congratulates the Bulls for doing such a fine job on the grid-iron in winning the State Championship. The student body paid tribute to the greatest football squad in the his- tory of the school, the 1967-68 Golden Bulls. On this day each member of the team and each coach received a state champion- ship jacket. Jennifer receives the championship ball from Clarence Fields. Mr. Kelly honors his special boys. But the worries and ten- sions of January soon fad- ed into the carefree days of . . . “You’re the man.” 97 The Honor Society honors students who achieved a B average or better for the first semester. Whew! That was the last college transcript. ... A Time Of Varying Activities Are you trying to sneak off already Margaret? Graduation isn’t until May. “Shakespeare once said, ‘All the world’s a stage . . Mr. Kelly urges the boys on to victory over Raleigh Ligon in the district tournament. Students take practice drills to prepare for the annual typing contest. A chill winter wind still prevails over the school. Honor roll ribbons were given, and Doris Hollingsworth received the title of “Student of the Month” for portraying ladylike qualities, school spirit, citizenship and scholarship.

March lived up to its name by coming in with a coldartic blast of freezing rain and snow. Changing classes became a dreaded thing because students disliked having to face the chilly March winds. But the weather didn’t dampen the Smithites school spirit. As the basketball team prepared to go to Wilson to play in the tournament, the whole school prepared to make the trip with them. Not going was a big disappointment to many, but as the bus pulled away from the school the team knew that though the students wouldn’t be there physically, they were 100 percent behind them win or lose. When the basketball season ended students be- gan thinking about other activities. Seniors scurried about trying to sell their raffle tickets, F.H.A. ' ers were making preparations for their annual spring ball and some students were even planning for the Junior Senior Prom. The Yearbook Staff as always was working hard trying to make that March dead- line. Gradually , as the season changed those cherished days of March ended all too soon and Smithites turned to greet . . . The boys have abandoned the basketballs at last. 103 APRIL . . .

Spring, too is a beginning in its own right. But for us, the 1968 graduating class, it was the beginning of the end . . . the end of a carefree high school life. We danced wistfully under the prom lights, never heedless of the fact that this is our last. Every graduate had his eyes on the future. Each was looking forward to graduation, college or a career of some kind. We were like Easter lillies standing in grandeur, stretching upward for something unforeseen. Yet, some- th ing we had hopes for. And just as the lillies would be leaving in a few weeks we stopped and realized, we would be leaving too. 105 MAY . . .

Frances Katrina Beaufort — a supplement to our academic education - friendly competition 135 8 o’clock sharp! Kick off time! The football season has begun Smith played host to Dudley High for the first home game of the season. The Mighty Bulls weren’t quite ready and they suffered a defeat of 33-6. But for the team it was the iniative to strive even harder. From then on, the Bulls played game after game while losing only one conference contest. They ran, passed and tackled their way past the District and on to the top — The State! From east to west the word was passed — The Bulls are number 1 ! Dudley Explores For 33-6 Win Over Bulls Quarterback Stahl Vincent and halfback Harold Murdock of Greensboro Dudley teamed up here to punish the Bulls, 33-6. Vincent scored three of Dudley’s five touch- downs and passed to Murdock for a fourth. Play- ing defense as well as offense, Murdock recovered three Smith fumbles and intercepted a pass to ruin E. E. Smith drives. Neither team scored in the first quarter of play, but the Dudley offense broke loose during the second. A 63-yard drive, highlighted by a 52-yard broken field run by Vincent from Greens- boro 37-yard-line, set up the first score, a one-yard plunge by Vincent. The only score E. E. Smith could put on, was a one-yard plunge by quarterback Garvin Stone in the second quarter. Coaches talk over plays with Robert Blue. Smith Bows To J. T. Barber, 19-13 The Golden Bulls beat I. T. Barber in every category but the most important, scoring, here and suffered its second loss of the young season by a 19-13 margin. The Bulls amassed 158 rushing yards to 22 for the winners and outpassed New Bern 73 yards to a minus 2. The Bulls first TD came in the opening period with William Mitchell galloping 73 yards for the score. Smith quarterback Garvin Stone hit Milton Blue with a 30 yard pass early in the final period to set up the Bulls last touchdown. It was Nathan Graham doing the honors for the BuEs on a 2-yaxd dive moments later for the final tally. . The Bulls line up for the next play. 139 Smith Rides Stone’s Arm To Victory Garvin Stone passed for four touchdowns to lead the Golden Bulls to a 38-26 victory over Goldsboro Dillard. Dillard took the opening kickoff only to be pushed back to its own 16-yard-line. The Tigers attempted to punt, but a high snap from center sailed over the kicker’s head and into the end zone for a safety to put Smith ahead, 2-0. Dillard then kicked from its own 20 and Jerry Crossling took the ball on the Smith 45 and carried it back to the Dillard 28. Two plays later Stone passed to William Mitchell for a 26-yard touchdown. Robert Blue kicked the extra point to give Smith a 9-0 lead. Late in the game Dillard attempted an on-sides kick, but Smith took the ball on the Dillard 35 and scored the game’s final touchdown moments later on a pass. Coach Carter encourages Garvin from the sideline. Smith Slides Past Kinston 20-13 E. E. Smith packed all of its scoring into the fust half to down visiting Kinston Adkin 20-13. . Adkin scored first in the middle of the first quarter on a drive that started from its 20-yard Mne. The drive was almost stalled when Adkin faced a third down and 13 yard situation on its 17. Smith came right back and scored with 27 seconds remaining in the first quarter when quarterback Garvin Stone scored on a six-yard ran. Later in the second quarter Smith scored its third and final TD on a three-yard ran by Jerry Crossling. A conversion by Blue put Smith ahead. James McDougald has an injured leg looked after. 140 Smith Routs Ligion 47-6 The band sounded, the sparse crowd roared and Garvin Stone threw four touchdown passes as E. E. Smith decimated visiting Raleigh Ligon. The Bulls opened the rout with indications of things to come when Jerry Crossling scooted to paydirt on the first play from scrimmage. Later in the second quarter, Stone found big Milton Blue all alone in the endzone to make the score 13-6. Then three minutes later a Stone to Blue pass covered 15 yards for the Bulls’ third touchdown. Again, two minutes later John Minter swept left end to cap-off a 35 yard drive. Late in the fourth quarter reserve quarterback James McLean added the final tally. The Bulls try to recover a fumble. Smith Has Win Skein Snapped At Three Games Booker T. Washington’s Edward Seaborne picked off an errant Smith pass in the fourth quarter and returned it 41 yards to paydirt to beat the Golden Bulls 7-6. The air way proved to be the only way for the Bulls when they scored early in the final stanza to take the lead at 6-0. The Bulls’ tally came on a short three-yarder from Smith quarterback Garvin Stone to end Milton Blue. The Smith offensive machine overwhelmed Booker T. by outgaining the home team 171 yards to 89 and added an additional 51 yards on passing. Smith, however, had its troubles keeping the pigskin. Booker T. picked off three interceptions and recovered two Smith fumbles. Every boy on the team saw action that night. 141 Bulls Roll Past Carver 45-0 Two touchdown passes from Garvin Stone to Milton Blue highlighted a 25-point second quarter for E. E. Smith as the Bulls rolled to a 45-0 victory over Winston-Salem High. An 11-yard pass reception by Milton Blue in the first quarter opened the Smith scoring. Then in the early part of the second quarter a Stone-to-Blue pass covering 19 yards launched the onslaught. Soon after the second TD pass Carver was forced to punt, but the punter was tackled by Nathaniel Bennett on the Carver seven-yard line. On the first play Jerry Crossling covered the ter- ritory for the score. After an exchange of the ball, Smith began a drive from its own 20 in the middle drive ended with a two-yard plunge by John Minter. The final score came on a drive on the kickoff following the safety. William Mitchell ran for the score. Pat Edges Bulls Over Darden 13-12 It was the magic toe of big Robert Blue which proved the difference as E. E. Smith defeated Wilson Darden, 13-12. The Golden Bulls, running their season record to 5-3, spotted Darden a touchdown in the first period, stormed back to forge ahead in the second, and then had to battle from behind with a fourth quarter tally to salvage the hard-fought contest. Darden grabbed the lead early, ramming the ball across the goal on a four-yard dash by Marvin Barnes, and then after blowing the lead, Oliver Williams snatched a Smith fumble in the final period and raced 22 yards for the tally. Roderick Hodges and Jerry Crossling made the two runs for the Bulls. There must be a Bull up there!” 142 Versatility Keys Smith 34-21 E. E. Smith proved the value of a versatile attack, using the outstanding running of Jerry Crossling to overcome a one-man performance by Durham Hillside’s Gregory Brewer and post a 34-21 victory. Stone connected with his fantastic end, big Milton Blue for three scores. The Bulls took the lead in the second period following a fumble recovery by Wendell Butler on the Hillside 30. John Minter scored the go-ahead marker on a four-yard run. The Bulls put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter when Stone hit Blue with a 25-yard scoring s trike. This tally was sparked by a pass theft by Sherman Davis at the Smith 10 to halt a Hillside threat. Stone then found Blue to ice the victory. Bulls watch the action from the sidelines. Bulls Snare Playoff Berth 21-14 Milton Blue and William Mitchell came up on the receiving end to guide E. E. Smith to a 21-14 come-from-behind victory over P. W. Moore of Elizabeth City to the delight of a Homecoming crowd of some 1500 fans. The Bulls had to battle up hill all the way in claiming the win. They found themselves down, 14-0 just before halftime but rallied late in the second period to cut the margin to 14-7 when inter- mission rolled around. Even with the last-minute TD, Smith needed a vital pass interception by Ron McDonald of a Raymond Lynn pass at the Smith 10-yard-line to preserve the victory. McDonald’s theft came with 20 seconds left and Smith ran out the clock. In the fourth period, Lomax McIntyre inter- cepted a pass at the EC 32. And again later in the period James McDougald picked off another Lynn pass. •K Co-captains Mike Galbreath and William Mitchell, present Rosaline her flowers. E.E. SMITH 6 PAISLEY O “ON THE WAY TO THE STATE 4-A” E. E. Smith’s demoralizing defense took the ball away from Winston-Salem Paisley on the opening kickoff and three plays later halfback Jerry Crossling scooted across the goal line to boost the Bulls to the North Carolina High School athletic conference 4-A State Championship, 6-0, Playing before a sparse crowd at the Bowman Gray Stadium in a steady rain which fluctuated between a drizzle and downpour, neither team was able to sustain any kind of offense. But the feats of the “Golden Bulls” defensive corps never came close to letting the game become boring. Throughout the season, while the high scoring Bulls were rolling to an 8-3 record and the Eastern Title, coach Carter had been singing the praises of the clubs’ defense. And when the chips were down, it was this unit which came through, stealing the oval from the Panthers no less than eight tirnes-four on fumbles and four on interceptions. There was no accident involved in the Bulls’ winning of the State Football Championship-a little of everything else maybe, but no accident. It was a combination of desire, faith, dedica- tion and the ability to pick themselves up when they needed it. “Our boys leave in high spirits” “AND FINALLY THE STATE JACKETS” Our all state boys - Garvin Milton “Jump! Jump! Jump ball!” The crowd cheered, the coaches watched wistfully and the boys started off with an air of self-confidence. Playing host to Darden High, the Bulls suffered their second defeat of the season, the first being Hillside in Durham. For E. E. Smith it was a rocky season. Neverthe- less, we defeated Ligon to win our right to go to the State. Suffering a humiliating loss, the Bulls were trampled by W ill iam Penn High of High Point. Thus our basketball season ended on a sour note, but we were still proud of the effort our boys put forth . . .

E. Smith expecting a banner season on the hardwood, stumbled in its first outing by dropping a squeaker to Hillside 80-77. Despite a balanced scoring attack which saw five Golden Bulls hit in double figures, Hillside pulled away from a tie in the final 40 seconds to post the victory. Earl McNeill, who was the Bulls’ leading scorer last season with better than 19 points per game, kept his club in contention with his ball-hawking and driving layups. Blue, Bennett and Hudson looked good around the boards as the Bulls went into the half leading, 47-46, but Hillside refused to give ground in the second half leading the Bulls the majority of the way. Coach Kelly talks during a much deserved rest. Clutch Baskets Down Hillside 68-64 Some baskets in the final moments put the icing on the cake for E. E. Smith as the Golden Bulls beat Durham Hillside, 68-64. The game was stymied 62-all with 1:45 remaining when the first of three consecutive field goals wrapped things up. Leading Smith was Earl McNeill with 24 points. Milton Blue was another Bull who turned in his usual fine performance, hitting 19. It was a seesaw battle all the way with Hillside leading 20-19 at the end of the first period. The halftime break saw Smith with a 34- 32 advantage but at the end of the third quarter, Hillside had regained control, 56-52. A well-balanced scoring attack evened the score. 158 Hudson executes his jumper. McNeill Cans 20 As Smith Pastes 73-69 Loss E. E. Smith changed its basketball tune to a winning song by dealing a 73-69 setback to Wilson Darden. The Bulls went ahead to stay with the con- test only three minutes old and suffered only one serious threat, late in the game. Smith saw a 71-61 lead dwindle to a nar- row 71-68 margin in the final stages of the fourth quarter before staying off the Darden rally for its first victory in two outings. The Golden Bulls got a four-man double scoring effort with Earl McNeill leading the point parade at 20. The Golden Bulls suffered slightly from the charity line, hitting only 17 of 26 attempts but made up the difference by canning 66 per cent of their floor shots. Bulls Handed Cage Loss 72-55 Wilson Darden soundly licked host E. E. Smith, 72-55, behind the steady gun of Ray- mond Atkinson and the Golbetrotter antics of Larry Artise. The scoreboard had run off 2:15 before the Bulls could tally and the slow start left them holding the short end of a 13-7 first quarter spread. Darden went on a mild second quarter rampage in the second stanza, with Artise leading the way, and opened up their lead to 28-16 at halftime. Earl McNeill and Milton Blue led a second half comeback attempt by the Bulls that fell far too short when the Trojans warmed to the action following intermission. The loss, which left the Bulls with a 1-2 mark, had coach Kelly in an uproar. 159 S-t-r-e-t-c-h! Bulls Absorb Third Defeat 72-58 Raleigh Ligon handed E. E. Smith its third defeat of the young cage season here Tuesday night, 72-58. Little Ear! McNeill did his best to keep the Golden Bulls in the contest, taking game scor- ing honors with 21 points. He was ably as- sisted by Nathaniel Bennett with 18, but their efforts were to no avail. But the Bulls rallied to pull within eight points before the starters were called back into action and stemmed the threat. The loss was a severe blow to the troops of coach D. S. Kelly, strong contender for conference laurels this season. Smith will be at home next Friday night against Durham - High School Hillside. Bulls warm up in Ligon’s gymnasium. Ligon Falls To Bulls E. E. Smith defeated a talented Ligon five, who had previously beaten them, 73-61. Smith was paced by Nathaniel Bennett who has displayed fine form throughout the season. Ligon received outstanding performances from Robert Kearney and William McClamb. The Little Blues connected on 53.6 per cent of their floor shots but were no match for the Bulls who hit 55.1 per cent. Raleigh did manage to look sharp off the boards, however, edging the Bulls by a 41-39 rebounding margin. This game enables the Bulls to enter the District. 160 ' We shall not be beat!” Bulls Topples J. T. Barber 88-80 E. E. Smith got double-digit efforts from all five starters and defeated J. T. Barber of New Bern, 88-80. Earl McNeill and James Hedson were the work- horses for the Golden Bulls attack, combining for 49 points. McNeill tallied 25 points and Hudson 24, season highs for both. Smith got off to a blistering start en route to its third win of the year against three losses, owning a 31- 18 advantage at the end of the enitial period. Barber, though, led by Bill Johnson and Albin Spruill, rallied and cut the deficit to 42-36 at inter- mission. They continued their antics in the third quarter and got their club a 56-56 tie. After Smith went ahead, 57-56, the visitors got two quick baskets before the period ended for a 69-59 lead. Hudson’s two-pointer, though, erased the lead and Smith had downhill sledding the rest of the way. Bennett takes a brief rest while the players untangle. New Bern Tops Smith 88-74 Freshman Allen Spruill bombed E. E. Smith with a long-range arsenal as J. T. Barber dropped the visiting Bulls, 88-74. Barber was hot early in the game and ran up a 24-17 lead in the first quarter. Smith rallied to outscore the Warriors 16-14 in the second stanza to go into the halftime inter- mission trailing by five, 38-33. The Bulls continued their catch-up ef- forts, until with 5:31 remaining in the first quarter, they were within one point at 41- 40. A sudden cold spell quailed the uprising at this point, however, and while the Bulls couldn’t buy a basket over the next two minutes, Barber ran the margin to 54-41 and put the decision out of reach. 161 “Hey! Where’s everybody?” Bulls Squeak By Winston-Salem E. E. Smith, handicapped by the absence of one of its top performers squeaked by Carver High of Winston-Salem 63-59 here Tuesday night. With only 1:21 left in the game Smith held a 59-49 lead but Carver used a halfcourt press and the hot outside shooting of Ernie Plow- deix to come within four points of tying things up. James Hudson was hot from the floor, rack- ing up 27 points to pace Smith in scoring while Nathaniel Bennett added 15. The victory put Smith on the right side of the win column, 4-3. Smith was without the services of Earl Mc- Neill, one of its aces, but other team members assumed the responsibility his absence thrust upon them well. James Hudson tallying for the Bulls. Carver Halts Smith’s Win Streak Winston-Salem Carver ended its five-game streak at the expense of E. E. Smith, 61-47. Smith took an early lead and held it through the first quarter. At the end of the eight-minute stanza, it had a one-point ad- vantage at 10-9. The 10 points came on the first five field goal attempts for Smith. After sinking five straight, the goals closed for the Golden Bulls and Carver took over, outscoring Smith, 17-10 in the second quarter to carry a 26-20 margin into the locker room at halftime. A fourth quarter press by the Bulls did little to rectify the situation, although Carver was outscored, 23-20 for the stanza. Smithites at halftime are waiting for the return of Bulls. Dillard Falls To Bulls 52-50 A pair of free throws in the last few seconds of the game gave the Golden Bulls the vital points for a victory over Goldsboro-Dillard. Smith blew an early lead, fell behind in the third period and then rallied to pull out the N.C.H.S.A. Conference 4-A contest. The Bulls, now 6-3 overall and 3-1 in league play, came out as if to blow the visitors right off the court, running up a 13-3 margin in the first period. Only a field goal by Smith’s Milton Blue with one second remaining enabled the Bulls to be even at 37-all going into the final eight-minute segment. Dillard then poured it on to jump out to a 46-41 lead before the Bulls responded to the challenge. Terrence Murchison drove for a layup at the 1:23 mark to give Smith a 50-48 lead. Then, after Dillard tied the count with a basket, Stone was fouled. The Bulls winning the contest 52-50. Milton Blue sinks a free shot at Dillard. Bulls Suffer Setback 68-63 Milton Blue paced the Golden Bulls, now 4-3 overall in conference play and 7-6 overall, with 17 points. James Hud- son was the only other Smith player to hit double digits as he had 13 points. The Bulls held a two-point margin at the end of the first period, 16-14, but fell behind at the half 33-32 . The Bulls rallied in the final period to outscore Dillard 16-12, but couldn’t close the gap. Bennett fights for possession of the ball. E.E. Smith Runs Up Win Streak It was supposed to be an easy win for E. E. Smith’s Golden Bulls, but it almost turned out to be the night the Tiger got away. The golden-clad Tigers roared from the start- ing gate and leaped to an 8-2 lead before Smith could get its arsenal untracked. When Williston went cold and could score only two field goals and a free throw, the Bulls grabbed the lead for the first time in the con- test. The Bulls never trailed again, but the visitors never quit trying. The Tigers and some of their magnificent ball-hawking brought them within two points at 54-52 with only 1:38 to play. Smith, riding the crest of a five-game victory skein, had to pull away from an aroused Wil- mington Williston team in the final minute and a half of play before downing the underdog Tigers, 59-54. One of the Bulls working on the scoreboard. Bulls Turn Back Williston E. E. Smith’s Golden Bulls snapped a three- game losing skid, turning back host Williston, 56-50. E. E. Smith, which is experiencing much the same type of misfortune that plagued it at the beginning of the season, led by 15-8 at the end of the first period and was out front by eight points at intermission, 30-22. With six minutes remaining in the contest, Williston came back again, moving to within two points of Smith at 44-42. Things remained nip-and-tuck until the four-minute mark Murchison’s play helped boost the lead to 10 points (56-46). Coach Kelly is talking it over with one of the Bulls. Adkin Falls To Bulls 63-57 The golden Bulls, hit hard by the injury of a key player, got “iron-man” stints from five players to defeat Kinston Adkins 63-57. Although starting guard, Earl McNeill was side- lined, the Bulls used a strong 27-point perfor- mance from center Milton Blue to grind out their ninth victory against six losses. Nathaniel Bennett tallied 14 points for the Bulls while Terrence Murchison added 1 1 to join Blue in double figures. The Golden Bulls came out running and blitzed their way to an 18-6 lead in the first eight minutes of action. Keeping up the torried pace, the visitors outscored Adkins 17 to 10 in the second period of play to go into the half holding a 35-16 lead. Adkins rallied strongly in the third quarter as it appeared the Bulls might be tiring and narrowed the margin to 48-41 as the final period began. Another two points! Balanced A ttack Turns Back Kinston Balanced scoring and more floor shots enabled E. E. Smith to come back from be- hind here Friday night to beat Adkin High of Kinston, 64-55. Adkin took an early lead and was on top 18-8 after the first quarter and led 34-24 going into the second half. Smith’s balanced scoring attack saw four men in double figures. They were James Hudson with 14, Nathaniel Bennett with 16, Milton Blue with 13, and Terry Murchison with 10. Both teams hit about the same percentage of their field goal attempts. Adkin shot 38 percent and Smith followed closely with 37 percent. Freeman, Hudson, and Blue relax after a victory. 165 “Sherm” looks on as Baby Bulls burn Raleigh. Bulls Earn Spot In State Tournament E. E. Smith battled its way to the Eastern Division of the NCHSAC 4-A finals by defeating visiting Raleigh Legion, 66-55. The Golden Bulls, extracting full measure of familiar surroundings by connecting on 46.9 per cent of their floor shots; practically put the game on ice with a blistering second quarter attack. Trailing 16-13 at the end of the first period, Smith launched a second stanza blitz to roll up a 34-26 half- time advantage and was in little trouble the rest of the way. The Bulls got double-digit performances from four starters to thwart Legion with balanced scoring. Lanky Nathaniel Bennett was the main-stay in the Smith attack, pouring in 26 points and gathering in 11 re- bounds. Joining Bennett in the double digit bracket were James Hudson with 13, and Milton Blue and Roger Hodges with 11 each. Coaches and boys look on during crucial moments. 166 Bulls Out-Gunned 84-49 The E. E. Smith Golden Bulls, were out-gunned by Dillard of Goldsboro Monday night, to receive the runner up spot in the Eastern 4-A Championship. The Golden Bulls made the battle a tight one in first half action and trailed by only one point (35-34) at halftime. The final two stanzas were with Smith nitting only six of 39 attempts from the floor while Dillard tossed in over 50 percent of its shots. Dillard stretched its one-point lead to 13 (58-43) at the end of the third period and continued to roll in the fourth period when the Bulls could muster only six points. James Hudson topped the losers at 14 with Nathaniel Bennett and Milton Blue adding 12 each. Smith, which could manage only a 30.7 shooting percentage from the floor, out rebounded Dillard, 48-41 with Terrance Murchinson leading the Bulls with 14 caroms. ' “Bennett struggles for the control of the tap” William Penn Hands E.E. Smith Humiliating Loss E. E. Smith lost the State 4-A title as William Penn of High Point handed it a humiliating loss. Having defeated the Raleigh Ligon Little Blues, the Bulls won their right to take a stab at the State title. It would have been their second title for this school year. The Bulls suffered a cold spell as far as their shooting, passing and rebounding is concerned. William Penn burst off to a startling first half scoring and never let the trailing team catch up. The only real efforts of the team to make a comeback were led by Nathaniel Bennett, but even these were in vain. As the buzzer sounded off at the close of the game, the score stood 76-34.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his namesake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
