MARCIA FINCANNON 756 Oakland Drive ELKIN. N. C. 28621 , ?-• I i The 1968 ELK Elkin High School Elkin, North Carolina Vo lu me XXII Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. — Unknown— Dedicated to Mjas Judy Wolfe The Senior Class of 1968 dedicates Elk ’68 with respect and appreciation to a special person, Miss Judy Wolfe. She has created an enthusiasm for learning in her Senior English, Speech and Dramatics, and Journalism classes this year. She has motivated her students to think for them¬ selves, but was always willing to help in any way. Her friendliness and concern for her students made her more than just a teacher to them. Her devotion to her profession beyond its actual de¬ mands was displayed by her help in planning chapel programs, the supervision of a girls’ bas¬ ketball team, the advisor to the Elk Antler, and the director of the Senior Play. Her patience and many hours of hard work to help the class pro¬ duce My Fair Lady will long be remembered by the Seniors. Miss Wolfe is leaving for Vietnam in June to work with the Special Services for one year. Although this is only her second year to teach at Elkin High School, the enthusiasm and spirit she possessed will be missed next year and will not be forgotten in the future. 1 Contents: 5 6 3 4 1.

Through their policy-making and numerous decisions, Elkin High School has become the best high school in the area, and it looks to them to keep it that way in the future. Superintendent - Mr. N.H. Carpenter School Board - Mr. N.H. Carpenter Mr. R.J. Atkinson, chairman Mr. Joe G. Bivins Mr. Bill Gentry Mr. John H. Haynes Dr. C.A. McNeill 1 I i i ! ||« «:' 1 i Hk 1 1 ii ; 6 Principal Provide Leadership i I I Miss Jennie Tucker, Secretary; Office Assistants: Susan Smith, Kathy Walters, Joyce Walls, Elaine Gentry, Janet Carson, Betsy Smith, Cathy Kennedy. Mrs. Ruth Ratledge, Teacher’s Aid; Office Assistants: Betty Brendle, Geraldine Miller, Debbie Elliott, Frankie Slawter, Aydiett Carson. Running a high school is a big job from a business standpoint. Much of the burden is carried by the sec¬ retary and teachers’ aid. They are constantly at work in the office keeping records, helping Mr. Grissom, aiding the teachers and students, and doing many other tasks. The office assistants are a group of students who devote their s tudy hall to helping with the office work. They collect absentee slips, answer the telephone, run errands, and help in any way possible in the office. Principal - Mr. Blois C. Grissom Elkin High School is truly fortunate in having Mr. Blois Gris¬ som as principal. His warm personality and ever-present smile help to make the school atmosphere pleasing to every stu¬ dent. No matter where he is, or what he is doing, he will always try to help a student in any way. The students of Elkin High School will always remember him as one of the nic- Hours of Hard Work Contribute to School Bus Dr Vers - Jimmy Combs, Howard Dalton, Barry Huff, Mr. Grissom, Mike Hines, Eddie Anderson, Jerry Hanks, Mickey Hemric. Many of the functions that are required to keep Elkin High School running at an ef¬ ficient pace are done by the cafeteria workers, the janitors, and the bus drivers. These people are too often taken for granted by the students. The cafeteria workers are respon¬ sible for preparing several hundred nourishing meals a day. The janitor keeps the school clean, warm, and in order. The responsibility of transporting many of the stu¬ dents to and from school be¬ longs to the bus drivers. Together, they make up an in- tergral part of the school. Eddie and Wendell Baugus are two early- rising bus passengers. Cafeteria Personnel - Mrs. Faye Couch, Manager, Mrs. Edith Harper, Mrs. Grale Swaim, Mrs. Bernice Gentry. Custodian - Mr. Odell Parker. 8 Guidance Department Helps Students Guidance Counselor - Mr. David A. Craig The operation of the Guidance Department of Elkin High School is not an easy task. This is clearly demonstrated by the amount of work that is done by Mr. David Craig, the guidance coun¬ selor. The students that are planning to continue their education or are looking for a particular oc¬ cupation can obtain help and valuable informa¬ tion from Mr. Craig. He will help in filling out col¬ lege applications, selecting a school to attend, and preparing for college in general. The admin¬ istration of standardized tests to the student body is also a responsibility of the guidance depart¬ ment. Through many hours of work, Mr. Craig has made the guidance department an important part of Elkin High School. Mr. Craig and Barry Huff talk over college board scores. “Hey Sherman, I heard you made 1181. 9 Library Ready for Work or Relaxation Librarian - Miss Ann Sebastian Every student learns to appre¬ ciate the library at Elkin High School. Whether the student is looking for a book, studying for a test, writing a term paper, or just wanting to look at the magazines, the library is always there to sup¬ ply his demands. The library is well organized, thanks to the con¬ siderate attention and hard work of our librarian. Miss Ann Se¬ bastian, and the library assistants. The recently acquired space and a better selection of books and other material has made the li¬ brary more comfortable, as well as of more benefit to the students. Current magazines are always favorites in the library. Library Assistants - Cynthia Miller, Shirley Harris, Linda Nichols, Ruth Salley, Rachel Lawson, Brenda Combs, Beverly Wyatt, Brenda Dezern, Carol Steele. 10 English is the Foundation for Learning Our English Department is fortunate to have a number of capable instructors. Miss Judy Wolfe emphasized oral communication and composi¬ tion in her Senior English classes . The Junior English classes had two excellent teachers dur¬ ing this year. Mrs. Louise Atkinson taught the Juniors during the first semester, while Mrs. Judy Transou assumed the position during the second semester. Mrs. Lake Haynes and Mr. Malvin Swicegood shared the task of teaching English to the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Busi¬ ness Division of the English Department was headed by Mrs. Brenda Couch. This year the Journalism Department exper¬ ienced a renovation. The class period was de¬ voted to the preparation of “The Elk Antler” and the study of Journalism Today, a new textbook. In her initial year as a journalism teacher, Miss Judy Wolfe brought new ideas and methods to the class. Mr. Malvin Swicegood A. B., Catawba College; Th.M., Sou. Bap. Theo. Sem. Mrs. Louise Atkinson B.S., Westminister College In Senior English, Miss Wolfe carefully audits as Robert McRae gives a report. Mrs. Judy Transou B.S., Towson State College 11 In an endeavor to better develop the minds of his students, Mr. Robert Walker conducts classes in the physical sciences, Chemistry, General Sci¬ ence, and Physics. Mr. Bud Hall teaches Biology where students learn life processes with the aid of microsc opes and life charts. Some students at E.H.S. find math easy, while others think it is impossible, but both groups agree that the mastery of it is highly rewarding. Mrs. Mary Leslie Bivins, who conducts classes in math five periods a day, teaches Algebra I, Algebra II, and Math IV. Another experienced ef¬ ficient math teacher at E.H.S. is Miss Emma Cooke who teaches Plane Geometry. Mr. Wayne Motsinger instructs those business-minded stu¬ dents who choose to take bookkeeping. A new math teacher at Elkin is Mrs. Hilda McDonald who teaches Algebra I to the Freshmen. Mr. Robert Walker B.S., A.S.U.; M.A.T., Alabama College Mr. Bud Hall A.B., Guilford College Math and Science Stimulate Good Thinking Mrs. Mary Leslie Bivins A.B.. U.N.C.-G. Using the microscopes in biology class is an interesting experience. 12 1 Social Studies, Foreign Languages Teach about People American History is a very challenging subject, required for Juniors. As a student studies history he can become more aware of the foundations of our present governments, institutions, and relationships. Mrs. Julia Holthouser brings enrichment to any course she teaches, whether it is Western Civilization, U. S. History, or 8th grade History. Students are exposed to the ever-increasing pro¬ blems of today’s world, such as the stock market or Viet Nam in Mr. Clyde Fitzgerald’s Problems of Democracy class. He also instructs a class in 8th grade science, man’s civilization from ancient to pre¬ sent day times by Mrs. Lake Haynes and Mr. Fitzgerald. Mr. Larry Kallam A.B., Guilford College The instruction of foreign languages aids in the de¬ velopment of a well rounded person. Miss Emma Cooke’s instruction in Latin I and II gives the student a chance to develop his English vocabulary by learning the English derivations from Latin. Spanish is taught at E.H.S. by a new teacher, Mr. Larry Kallam. By using the available audio-lingual materials, Mr. Kallam is able to give thorough and complete instruc¬ tion to his students. In addition to teaching Spanish, Mr. Kallam conducts one class of 8th grade Math. Miss Emma Cooke A.B., Duke University; M.A., A.S.U. Mrs. Julia Holthouser A.B., U.N.C.-G.; M.A., Western Carolina University Mr. Clyde Fitzgerald A.B., High Point College 13 Training those who wish to find a place for themselves in the business world is the job of the Business Education Department. Mrs. Brenda Couch, a new teacher at E. H.S., has charge of teaching classes in typing and shorthand, a course which was revived in Elkin High’s curric¬ ulum this year after several years’ absence. The students in these courses are grateful for Mrs. Couch’s expert instruction in these courses, which will be of practical value to them. In an aim to make each student a productive member of his home and the world, Elkin High School offers courses in Vocational Education and Home Economics. The Shop and the Home Economics departments are equipped with the most efficient machines and devices. Mr. Dale Aldridge and Mrs. Virginia Reece, each most cap¬ able in his field, aid students in bettering their skills. Vocational Courses Develop Skills Mrs. Brenda Couch B.S,, A.S.U. Abbie Gail Sturgill demonstrates the work that goes on in her shorthand class. Mrs. Virginia Reece B.S., U.N.C.-G. Mr. Dale Aldridge B.S., East Carolina University 14 i Phys. Ed. and Music Enjoyed by Many I Mrs. May Pardue B.S., A.S.U. A vital part of the education of E.H.S. students is carried on in the gym, where bodies and minds are strengthened. Exercises and rules to games are learned, along with folk dancing and the art of cooper¬ ation. Teaching Physical Education and working together are Mrs. May Pardue and Mr. John Charles. There are many students who are musically inclined, and these students are fortunate to have Mr. Roy Russell as their teacher and di¬ rector. Mr. Russell has expanded the music program of E.H.S. to in¬ clude the marching band, concert band, glee club, orchestra, and, most recently, a folk group, “The Windsongs”. Mr, John Charles A. B., Lenior-Rhyne College 15 Elkin High’s newest course, Speech and Dramatics, has proven to be vastly popular with Elkin High Seniors. This course allows a student to express him¬ self in creative forms and to become fa¬ miliar with stage and acting techniques. Miss Judy Wolfe is the instructor in charge of this class. Because of her ex¬ perience with dramatics in college. Miss Wolfe is ideally suited to supervise the course as well as the Senior Play. Self-expression through means of art is the goal of every member of the art class, which is held after regular school hours. Mrs. Emiko Goodman, a very de¬ finite asset to our school faculty, gives valuable aid to each student. Miss Judy Wolfe B.A., U.N.C.-G.

S. is the vocational department which in¬ cludes Distributive Education and Industrial Cooperative Training. The students engaged in these programs are able to combine learn¬ ing at school and at a job. They are under the able supervision of Mrs. Thelma Nixon and Mr. Bill Davis. Students at Elkin High will always remem¬ ber the many experiences of Drivers’ Educa¬ tion. The course is divided into two parts, in-class study and actual driving. Mr. Ron Hooper, the new instructor for the class this year, spends his time in the training of better drivers. I. C.T. students, Lanny Hodge, Ronnie Collins, Mike Higgins, and Johnny Gentry prepare themselves for their future in their vocational class. Mr. Ron Hooper B.S., U.N.C.-C.H. 17 At E.H.S. the eighth grade year is designated to acquaint the students with the school and its rules and ac¬ tivities. The eighth grade year is an exciting and important one for every class, and the Class of 72 is no ex¬ ception. It has the particular honor of being the largest class to enter our school. Mrs. Lake Haynes and Miss Caro¬ lyn Baker have shared the assign¬ ment of teaching English and history to the eighth grade. This past year Elkin High was privileged to have two new teachers, Mrs. Hilda McDonald teaching math, and Mr. Wayne Mot- singer instructing the science classes. These teachers do an excellent job of preparing eighth grade students for the more difficult years which will follow.

Through various projects, such as selling Bucking Elk stadium cushions, bake sales in local food stores, selling at the concession stand at council-sponsored youth centers and ath¬ letic events, the Student Council raised money to sponsor a Homecoming Dance and Valentines’ Dance for E.H.S. students. The Council sponsored a highly successful Shindig, in which E.H.S. students found their ideal dates by means of a computer. The Council revised the Constitution to rid it of repeti¬ tion, and make it more applicable to E.H.S. now. Under the supervision of the vice-president, the Council presented interesting and educational chapel programs. Many of the chapel programs fea¬ tured films on such topics as Evolution, Careers in Chemical Science, and History of Art. The projects and accomplishments are characteristic of the suc¬ cessful year the Council achieved.

In the classroom, the student learns many fundamentals of marketing and distribution such as sales promotion, display, salesmanship, employee- employer relations, advertising, etc. The training pro¬ gram, worked out by the employer and the coordinator, affords the student an opportunity to put into practice many of the fundamentals learned in the classroom and to develop additional skills in each of these areas. The Distributive Education Clubs of America, DECA, is a program of youth activities which supplements Dis¬ tributive Education. DECA’s goals are to develop lead¬ ership, vocational understanding, social intelligence and civic consciousness.

With the end of football season the Band settled into a rigid routine of prac¬ tice. The orchestra gave a Pop Concert in January and supported the Senior Class in their production of My Fair Lady. The Concert Band combined their talents to present a program of semi-classical music to the entire community in May. The Band constantly proved itself an integral part of Elkin High School.

Practice began soon after graduation and continued throughout the summer. After school be¬ gan, the year was marked by all-day “sign parties” and long afternoons spent wrap¬ ping the goal posts and painting the fam¬ iliar “Elk” for the team to burst through. The cheerleaders sponsored an enthusi¬ astic School Spirit Week highlighted by competition among homerooms in the an¬ nual door contest. The Jaycees honored the cheerleaders in November with a ban¬ quet, and in return the girls helped the Jay cees sell doughnuts in a local club project. Cheering at the games, selling pro¬ grams, planning pep rallies, dancing to “Tiger Rag”— all these and many more are a part of the cheerleaders’ year. Every activity this year was dedicated to making this “the year of the Elks.” Rides to games are often hard to come by, especially when at the convenience of others, but “better late than never.” Gay Neaves, Candace Aldridge, Sandra Caudle, Gayla Royall, Jean Osborne.

The team not only won the Northwest Conference Championship, but they were the Western North Carolina State 3A Champions, with a thirteen win, undefeated season. Coach John Charles opened the season, pledging “We’ll be there, we’ll play,’’ and when the season finally ended, the Elks found themselves State Champions. Moving up to a 3A conference, the Elks were hop¬ ing to meet some better competition. They took their first win in a close game with Mt. Airy, and could not lose from then on. Except against Starmount and Mt. Airy, the Elkin second string found themselves playing in all the regular season games. Including the playoffs, the West Wilkes game was the only game in which Elkin did not score in the first half. The Elks gathered a total of 380 points compared with their opponents’ 78, and held their opponents scoreless in six of the thirteen games. In Elkin on a cold, rainy night, December 2nd, the Bucking Elks took their final win from North Surry (21-0) to proudly claim the State title. Thirty-three boys made up the Elk team, plus eleven more who moved up from the Junior Varsity c uad before the end of the season. John Anderson, Johnny Charles, Danny Hayes, Peegie Wagoner, James Irion, and Richard Grissom led the offense for the Elks. Outstanding on the Elk’s tough defense were Bud Grissom, William Holthouser, David Maxwell, Bob Sloop, Tommy Thompson, Steve Dunn, David Rene¬ gar, and Dennis Minton. Anderson led the rushing with 1006 yards, and also assumed the Elk punting. Kick- ing-off for Elkin and scoring 23 points in PATs alone was Deane Hall. Quarterback Charles threw 10 TD passes and averaged 9 yards per carry. Charles’s favorite receivers were Hall and David Harris. Injured during the season and unable to play in some of the games were Bob Sloop, Dennis Minton, and Mike Hines. Captain Bud Grissom won a position on the All- State team as well as the All-Conference team. With the thirteen wins added to his credit. Coach Charles now has a 39 win 5 loss record at Elkin and a 1 19-29 overall record. His success was complimented by being chosen Northwest Coach of the Year. Concern¬ ing the successful season, Charles commented, “Our fans support us, and we like to play together. The morale of the boys and the coaches is real good. It is the best thing I know for winning.” 58 are key men, we are a team Coach Fourth row: Bud Grissom, Robert McRae, David Harris, William Holt- houser, Deane Hall, Dennis Minton, Tommy Thompson, and Peegie Wagoner.

I I I I The hustling Elks closed their basketball season with a 9-11 won— lost record. Their conference re¬ cord was an even 7-7, allowing them a final fifth place seat. The Elkin team possessed determined effort throughout the season, and outscored their oppo¬ nents 1193-1140. Playing each of their opponents twice, the Bucking Elks won one of the games each time except for the Mt. Airy, Forbush, and South Stokes series. North Stokes and Surry Central were the two teams Elkin defeated twice. Coach Ron Hooper and his team felt confident and looked with optimism at the conference playoffs. Junior guard Johnny Charles led the Elk scoring with 325 points in the regular season. Charles, the play-maker and shortest man on the team, started every game. Following Charles in the scoring were Deane Hall with 151, David Maxwell with 150, Robin Hinshaw with 131, and Paul Chatham with 113. Others who saw their share of the action were David Harris, Jody Anthony, John Anderson, and Peegie Wagoner. Due to injuries, Anderson and Chatham were unable to play in some games. The Elks’ basketball season was highlighted by their 65-57 win over the Starmount Rams who were y the conference champions. Hall, Anthony, and Charles led the scoring in that game with 19,15, and 12 points, respectively. 69 nior Elks Undefeated On Gridiron Elkin’s Junior Varsity foot¬ ball team marked up an unde¬ feated season this year under Coach Bud Hall. They were led over their opponents by the efforts of Jeff Golliher, Gary Darnell and Allen Lyles, who did most of the offensive duties. In four games, the de¬ fense allowed only two touch¬ downs. The season opened with two wins against Star- mount. The first was taken 20-0, the second 13-6. For- bush and South Stokes rounded out the schedule as they fell to the Elks 14-6 and 7-0, respectively. Coach Hall and team await second half play. Left: J.V.’s show good performance in game.

Elkin’s JV basketball team under Coach Wayne Motsinger turned in an outstanding 17-5 record and nailed down the regular season con¬ ference championship with a 13-1 conference record. Seated number one, the Junior Elks suffered a bad night in the semi-finals of the con¬ ference tourney when they lost to Starmount by three points. Leading the Elks through the sea¬ son in scoring were Jerry Hayes, Gary Pardue, and John Ratledge. Laddie Thompson and Robert Holt¬ houser, who rounded out the start¬ ing quint, controlled the back court. Reserves John Collins, John Calla¬ way, and Allen Lyles were called on at critical points to add a fresh punch. With such a fine JV team, Elkin had a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to in basketball. 71 Grapplers Improve Through Season First row: Tommy Langston, Lee Roy Hampton, Eric Brad- Blackbrun, Melvin Wilson, Danny Kennedy, Henry Beeson, shaw, John Williams, Barry Anderson, Leroy Duncan, Mack Third row: Steve Dunn, Barry Swaim, Billy Hinson, James Gentry.

Tri-captainsTommy Thompson, Mack Gentry, and Steve Dunn. Wrestling proved to be the up and coming sport at E.H.S. this year as the team achieved a 4-5 over-all re¬ cord, the second best in the school’s history. The record does not actually reflect the success of the season as the grapplers fell by slim margins twice near the end of the season. Coach Bud Hall, heading up wrestling for the first time this year, was assisted by senior tri-captains Steve Dunn, Tommy Thompson and Mack Gentry. Thompson made the best showing for the Elks in the dis¬ trict competition, as he advanced to the State Meet. This ranked him among the top sixteen boys in the 1 68 pound class. 72 Experience Keys Elks’ Baseball Season The ’68 baseball team was up for a good season as a result of the experienced players who returned from the previous year. The ’67 Elks finished first place in the conference with a 1 1-2 record. In the infield, William Holthouser reclaimed his first base spot, Terry Hampton shortstop, and John Anderson third base. David Renegar, who did some catching in the ’67 season, easily took his position. Bill Coe, also a one year veteran, was the leading pitcher followed by freshman, Gary Pardue. Sopho¬ more, Jerry Hayes filled the vacant second base i position. Freshman, Gary Darnell grabbed the right I field spot and Junior, Richard Grissom the left. The t Elks were again coached by Coach Ron Hooper. Elk singles in Forbush game. Practice— rain or shine. Senior Terry Hampton warms-up in batting practice.

Senior Marty Tilley strokes approach putt. Elkin went into the ’68 golf season with high hopes based on its 9-2-1 record from ’67. Last years’ team, besides boosting its impressive record in match play, captured the Surry-Yadkin Golf Tournament at Pilot Mountain by 17 strokes. Marty Tilley and David Harris had respectable won-lost records over the season as they posted 8-4, 8-2-2, respectively. However, Art Shores led the field. In winning ten of twelve matches, he tallied six medalist laurels and averaged 39.2 strokes a match. The entire team averaged 41.4 strokes, as there was constant competition for the top spots. The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions were never definitely de¬ cided as Coach Bud Hall chose among David Max¬ well, Steve Brown, Bruce Martin, and Mike Hines. 1967 RECORD Elkin 41 2 Mt.

Senior Jody Anthony led the Elks’ scoring in 1 967, participating in the high jump, 220, and 100 yard dash. Bud and Richard Grissom dominated the shot and discus throwing contests. Those doing the most running for the Elks were Danny Hayes in the 880, Laddie Thompson in the 440, and Sherman Layell in the mile At the district meet in April 1967, Hayes qualified for the state meet by placing third in the 880. Others en¬ tered in the district meet were Bud Grissom, Anthony, and Thompson. 75 Elkin Netmen Defend 9-3 Record First row: James Irion, Steve Jones, Jim Snow, Randy Edwards, Gavin Harrell, Coach Craig, Henry Hall, Mike Hall, Ned Dillon, Gary Conrad.

Teammates rib them, officials penalize them, students cheer them, kid brothers idolize them, coaches criticize them, girls adore them and mothers worry about them. A football player is Courage in cleats, Hope in a helmet. Pride in pads, and the best of Young Manhood in moleskins. When your team is behind, a football player is incompe¬ tent, careless, indecisive, lazy, uncoordinated and stupid. Just when your team threatens to turn back the tide of battle, he misses a block, fumbles the ball, drops a pass, jumps off¬ side, falls down, runs the wrong way or completely forgets his assignment. A football player likes game films, trips away from home, practice sessions without pads, hot showers, long runs, re¬ covered fumbles, points after touchdowns and the quiet sat¬ isfaction which comes from being part of a perfectly executed play. He is not much for wind sprints, sitting on the bench, rainy days, after-game compliments, ankle wraps, scouting reports or calisthentics. No one else looks forward so much to September or so little to December. Nobody else gets so much pleasure out of knocking down, hauling out or just plain bringing down the enemy. Nobody else can cram into one mind assignments for an end run, an off-tackle slant, a jump pass, a quarterback sneak, a dive play, punt protection, kickoff returns, a buck lateral, goal line stands or a spinner cycle designed to result in a touchdown every time it is tried. A football player is a wonderful creature— you can criti¬ cize him, but you can’t discourage him. You can defeat his team, but you can’t make him quit. You can get him out of a game, but you can’t get him out of football. Might as well admit it— be you alumnus, coach or fan— he is your personal representative on the field, your symbol of fair and hard play. He may not be an All-American, but he is the example of the American way. He is judged, not for his race, not for his religion, not for his social standing or not for his finances, but for the democratic yardstick of how well he blocks, tackles and sacrifices individual glory for the overall success of his team. He is a hard-working, untiring, determined kid doing the very best he can for his school. And when you come out of a stadium, grousing and feeling upset that your team has lost, he can make you feel mighty ashamed with just two sincerely spoken words— “We tried!” —Anonymous 77 00 U We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go. — Khayyann 79 What is a Senior? A Senior laughs a lot. He laughs when he thinks, “At last I’m a Senior.” He’s sad when he thinks, “I won’t be here next year, and everything will go on just the same.” A new Senior almost never gets into chapel right, or if he does he’s sure to mess up on the way out. A Senior worries, ‘‘Does Duke really require 1500 on the college board?” He yells, “Mr. Craig, I got accepted!” He practices for the Se¬ nior Play, looks forward to Washington, and at last, hopefully— graduates.

I enjoyed it very much and benefitted in many ways. However, I’m not going to pretend that all of it was enjoyable because there was a lot of hard work in it and several unexpected problems, such as snow, broken cameras, and other unforeseen developments. The an¬ nual staff attempted to make a book that tells the story of this year in pic¬ tures and words so that the student body will always remember the school year 1967-68. We tried several new ideas in the book, such as writing more copy about the organizations, sports, and honors. We also tried to have more action pictures represent¬ ing the students. I hope the student body will feel that they have been por¬ trayed accurately because this was the purpose of the book. There are many people who de¬ serve a word of appreciation for all the work they did on the annual. First of all, Mrs. Julia Holthouser must be thanked for her many hours of work and her helpful advice. She guided us in our work, but she also gave us the opportunity to make it our own book. This year the production of the annual did not take place in the Jour¬ nalism Class, but was done as an extra-curricular activity. This required many hours of work outside of school by the members of the staff. Each member was an excellent worker and was willing to sacrifice his time to work on the annual. Brad McHargue, our staff photographer, did an ex¬ cellent job and gave willingly of his time. Also thanks go to Johnsie Hud¬ speth who helped with the photo¬ graphy on various occasions. Special thanks go to Jewell Isenhour, our business manager, who not only did her job well, but helped others a great deal. There are many others not men¬ tioned here who should be thanked for their work, original ideas, advice. Elk section editors discuss the design for the cover of the annual with the help of Mrs. Holthouser and Mr. Bob Chappell, a representative of Hunter Pub lishing Company. Brad McHargue— Photographer and patience. It was my privilege to work on the annual this year, and I appreciate the confidence placed in me. Our goal was to produce the most outstanding annual ever, because Elkin High School and its students deserve only the best.
