1 - PARADE : 1957 ste Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS of FLAT ROCK HIGH SCHOOL Flat Rock, North Carolina Page Two Skyward ... More intently than ever the pilot now watches his dials, cocking a sensi- tive ear to the motors’ rhythms. He has reached a point of no return. He dare not turn back. Years of research and testing have perfected his plane. Hours upon hours have been spent in readying it for the journey. If something goes wrong now, the pilot will know instinctively what to do, because of his long years of training. So it is with our lives. For twelve years we have studied and worked to prepare ourselves for the journey into life. There is no turning back; we have reached the point of no return. If something goes wrong may we turn to God for guidance so that we can continue our journey with renewed hope and strength.

Her wonderful smile, her sweet manner, and yes, her “yankee brogue” enliven the atmosphere of her classroom. She makes history come alive for us. Outside the classroom her sweetness, charm, intelligence, and sincerity are an in- spiration to the whole student body. So, as an expression of our appreciation of her sincere interest in us, and of her help- ful understanding of our many problems, we dedicate the 1957 Parade to MOR See ES eZ AB Esl eek OsG Eakioe Principal MRSESLS JUSTUS A.B., University of North Carolina M.A., Columbia University | | PRINCIPAL Our loyal friend and guide, Mr. E.

Who was the group? It was this year’s senior class. Remember that funny sensation that came over you when a teacher or upperclassman called your name; that scary thrill when a senior stopped long enough to talk to you, and most of all the wonderful warm feeling of welcome when you gathered together with the rest of the student body for that first assembly pro- gram? These are wonderful memories, but they are often crowded out by the memories of civics and first year algebra, of home economics (oh! those breakfasts), and vocational agriculture. We had hardly learned the rou- tine of the school before the year ended and we were to take our places in the auditorium as sophomores. Our sophomore year was spent in looking into glass bottles at all kinds of strange-looking creatures—com- monly known as biology—enticing the boys into the home economics room with the delicious aroma of wonder- ful food, and learning to take on a superior air towards the Freshmen (this soon wore off). Many of our mem- bers made good on the basketbali teams that year. We surely were proud of them. Soon we were passed on to that enviable class of juniors. Our junior year was full of whispered conferences about the Rocket, the Junior-Senior Banquet, or our r- resentative for the Apple Festival. We worked long and hard at the Country Club in order to have everyth “just so” on THE NIGHT. In keeping with the theme—‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’—the club was decorated in pink and bla small records were hung from the ceiling for a decorative effect and other discs were used as place cards. The program we planned went off very well and everyone went home to dream of other years and other banquets. Suddenly—we were Seniors! How it happened; no one is certain, but there we were moving into the section reserved for the Senior Class. To cap this off everyone stood until we were seated. This year we have sold Christmas cards, advertised our candidates for Carnival King and Queen, and other money making projects with a vigor no one has ever seen in our class. The year had just got underway when we had our Senior pictures made; shortly after that we were being measured for caps and gowns and be- gan practicing that long walk across the stage to receive our diplomas. Then the year was gone, slipped away, and we were listening to the graduation address, and were really crossing the stage where Mr. Justus, smiling, handed us our diplomas. We soon realized that we were graduated. . Of course we are sad to leave you—but we go to make our places in the world and hope to see you next to us very soon.

PATRICIA. McCRAW MICHAEL STEPP FLORENCE HILL PAUL HOXIT | In August, 1957, when school re- sumes, a new senior class will come and begin their final year of study at ole Flat Rock. This group will be none other than this year’s juniors. For some time these students will find it hard to realize that they are ..¥ seniors at last. Thinking of the past a three years of their high school life, 7 they will remember the many activ= = ities in which they participated. © ¥ Among the memories of their jun- ior year will be a faint knowledge of American history, physics, French, and plane geometry. The excitement of being able to join the Beta Club, planning for their senior trip, constantly remind- ing students to save their “Blue Horses” and ordering class rings are some of “the never-to-be-for- gotten” events in the lives of our juniors.

Flight of ’59 As these students began their second year in high school, they were able to settle down to the routine of the school with much less difficulty than the preceding year. They spent many hours of work on biology, second year home economics, and English. They became acquainted with—why chlorophyll is important, the foods necessary for growth, and Julius Caesar. Their many activities keep them busy at activity periods and study halls. Keep up the good work, Sophomores!

Some of the questions in their minds, no doubt, were: “What is meant by a class period?” “How do you make out a schedule?” or “Which subject do you suppose is the easiest?” When those problems were settled, nextcame the frightening task of finding the right classroom. Often a freshman had to ask some upperclassman, “Where’s Mrs. Lappin’s room?” or “Could you tell me where room 2 is?” After a few weeks of school their problems were solved; they had become accustomed to the high school routine and were really enjoying themselves. Then—all too soon—school ended for the year, and everyone was looking forward to his year as a sophomore at Flat Rock.

Left to right: Greta Osteen, Picture Editor; Mr. Kilpatrick, Sponsor; ; Jeannette Nelson, Editor; Thomas Henderson, Business Manager. we Top picture: Patricia McCraw and Emma Moore, Parade Staff tS After gaining experience from having worked on the 1956 PARADE, the assistants looked forward to 1957 when they would assume the job of producing another outstanding edition of the annual. Shortly after school resumed, secret discussions were held concerning the theme. Many suggestions were offered; a fact which made the selection rather diffi- cult. At last the idea of using Flat Rock High as an air- port and carrying out the theme of aviation was sug- gested; it was accepted with enthusiasm. Finances are a most important factor in producing a yearbook. With their goal before them, the business staff, with Thomas Henderson as their manager, began their campaign. Our thanks to them for a job well done. At the Editor’s Roundtable sponsored by Western Carolina College, we found that in the judging of an annual, good copy receives more points than any other element in a yearbook. Lorali Cronkhite, the Literary Editor, with her assistant Brenda Fowler, has worked diligently on the copy. Variety is definitely needed in good copy, thus requiring many hours of keen thinking. Our typists, Patricia McCraw and Emma Moore, have been very co-operative and efficient in their work. Bottom picture, left to right: Jon Summey, Art Editor; Jean Osteen, Assistant Editor; Martha Mintz, Assistant Art Editor; Dolly Jackson, Assistant Picture Editor; Lorali Cronk- hite, Literary Editor; and Brenda Fowler, Assistant Literary Editor. Greta Osteen and her assistant, Dol- lie Jackson, have faithfully helped Juanita Wilson, our photographer, to get just the right pictures. Jon Summey with Martha Mintz as his assistant has supplied the staff with posters and all other needed art work. The position of editor is an enjoy- able one but is accompanied by its headaches. Different phases in the life of this year’s editor, Jeannette Nelson, were: acquainting her assistant, Jean Osteen, with her future work, intro- ducing her to the usefulness of the Roundtable, laying out the dummy, and seeing that everything was done at the appointed time. Jeannette is to be commended for her outstanding job of editing this ear’s annual. We are grateful to Mr. Kilpatrick, our sponsor, for his advice and help in the production of our yearbook.

Requirements for membership are to maintain a B+ average and to be outstanding in character, achievement, and leadership. Each year the members look forward to presenting their initiation in assembly. The trips to Mars Hill and Asheville for the conventions are eagerly awaited. There, district and state officers are elected. Among their money making projects are substitute teaching and selling school supplies. Flat Rock is indeed proud of the Betas!

Our chap- ter of the F. H. A. takes part in national and state projects with commendable success. Local activities include a Christmas party at the County Home, the production of a play, a Mother-Daughter Banquet, and an assembly program for the purpose of install- ing newly elected officers. The play, “Ready Made Family,” was a delightful comedy. It’s humor and excellent presentation were long talked of ky the ones who attended the performances. Conventions and rallies are numerous. A tri-county rally, a district rally and a state convention are all attended. The future of the American home depends on those who study and prepare now for their future responsibilities.
