His candid personality, his helpfulness, and his interest in us show him to be the type of man who will always make friends. When we need encouragement, he urges us; when we do other than our best, he prods us; and when there is occasion, he laughs with us. For these reasons we admire and respect him. And to show our appreciation for these his qualities, we dedicate the 1959 Parade to MR. NEIL G. ROGERS. DEDICATION PRINCIPAL MR. E. L. JUSTUS A. B., University of North Carolina M. A., Columbia University Principal Our principal is an outstanding man in his ability to accomplish as much as he does. Although he has many administrative duties, we have seen Mr. Justus take a personal interest in the progress of each student. We shall always remember his friendly smile and understanding manner, and we thank him for all he has done for us.

Page Seven We are the people who, after four years in train- ing, are now ready to “turn pro.” In our experiences with each other and with our teachers we have learn- ed the necessity of teamwork and practice. An account of our experiences the first two years here would perhaps seem uneventful to anyone but us. However, the memories of this period are espec- ially significant to us in that this was the time when we were making new friends among ourselves. We were proud to be in high school and were full of enthusiasm for the opportunities we found there. The junior year was marked by the publication of what we felt was an outstanding school newspaper. But the one event perhaps most to be remembered A Senior Speaks ... . In October 1957, the launching of the first artificial earth satellite was credited to the U.S.S.R. In search- ing for a scapegoat on which to place the blame for the failure of the United States to achieve this honor, Americans began to scrutinize the public school system. After years of apathy people brought numer- ous criticisms and complaints along with a few con- structive ideas for correction of the “faults” of our schools. It was suggested that increased emphasis be Page Eight was the Junior-Senior. “Club ‘58” had a fine floor show with many acts, planned and impromptu. The long-awaited senior year has brought the inevitable fund-raising efforts and a realization that our stay here is drawing to a close. At this writing we can be proud of the many members of our class who have won places at the annual Scholastic Field Days at Western Carolina College; also among our number we find a county winner in the Voice of Democracy Contest and three semifinalists in National Merit Scholarship competition. We feel confident that these and other unmentioned achievements merely mark the beginning of successes and honors for The Class of 1959. placed on sound academic and physical development of students and less on social development. The benefits, if there are to be any, of these efforts to improve public educational facilities will come too late for us, the graduating class. It is to be hoped that we as citizens shall face more seriously the res- ponsibilities of American citizenship than have voters of the past decade. Scott D. Ward 4A-2 President .....

The junior year is one of the most active and demand- ing years of high school. The junior class is traditionally given the responsibility for publishing the school newspaper, managing the Snack Bar, and planning the Junior-Senior. It is during this year that members of the class first become eligible JUNIORS Page Twenty-Two for membership in the Beta Club. Many members of the yearbook staff are juniors. Also, fund-raising efforts are pursued with eagerness. This year of hard work does much to prepare the group for realization of the coveted title—senior. FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Eddie Anders, J. C.

By the end of the sophomore year students have be- come sufficiently experienced in high school life to feel that they are ready to discard the stigma attached to their being underclassmen. They have studied the subjects which they last year SOPHOMORES heard sophomores discuss in terms of decrial, and found them to be difficult but interesting. More than halfway through high school, they have given serious thought to choosing a career, and they are eager to continue preparing for it.

The freshman leaves elementary school elated at the prospect of entering more advanced work and finding new friends. But it does not take him long to come to the humiliating realization that he is again a “rookie.” There is nothing to do but to familiarize himself with the schedules, customs, and vernacular of Flat Rock stu- Page Thirty-Two dents, apply himself to his studies, and look forward to the prestige enjoyed by upperclassmen. Now the year is ended, and freshmen, pleased with their good beginning, are anticipating another year at Flat Rock.

The student body of- ficers, along with presidents and vice-presidents of classes, homerooms, and clubs, comprise the mem- bership. The council is in charge of cleaning the grounds, planning the assembly programs, and reporting vio- lators of school rules. This year there were special efforts to augment the treasury by the sale of pennants and badges in addition to the usual project of concessions at the basketball games.

The National Beta Club is an honor society for students of proven character, leadership, and scholastic achievement. Juniors and seniors who maintain an average of 90 and who gain faculty approval are eligible for membership. The purpose of the organization is to promote ideals of honesty, service, and leadership, to reward achievement, and to encourage students to continue their education after high school. Projects include substitute teaching and selling school supplies. The club was especially glad that one of its members, Scott Ward, was 1958-1959 president of the Western North Carolina District.

Last year there were so many conflicts in scheduling meetings that a de- cision was made this year to hold the meetings dur- ing senior English classes rather than at the’ activity period. Consequently, the entire senior class were members. Organized debate has proved to be a, challenging and interesting addition to the curriculum. DEBATING CLUB The officers are, left to right: Malvern West, vice-president; Scott Ward, president; Donald Guice, secretary; David Kronenfeld, program chairman; Mrs. Allison, sponsor. Page Forty-Seven The most popular of our school’s three vo- cational clubs (F.F.A., F.H.A., and F.T.A.) must be the future Homemakers, for it is certainly the largest. Girls who are interest- ed in becoming good homemakers work first for the junior and then the chapter and state degrees, all of which are conferred only after a great deal of effort and ac- complishment. Especially noteworthy this year was the fact that Evangeline Morgan, chapter presi- dent, was also president of the Tri-County Federation (Henderson, Transylvania, and Polk Counties) of the F.H.A.
